Go to DFU mode, use redsn0w to restore your iphone, don't use iTunes. Use iOS 6.1.3 or older.
If you have any errors, create a DFU ipsw and restore.

But apple has signed ios 7

But apple has signed ios 7

It's not the signing issue, there is some issue with the redsn0w when restoring iOS 7.

So preferably use 6.1.3 or older. But if there is no error in redsn0w, you can use ios 7.

But apple has signed ios 7

iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 is still signing. The signing window can close at any time without notice.

Error 21 is most likely your device going into a limbo state between Recovery and DFU during the verification/startup process for the restore. Make sure that you're in DFU mode and that your USB cable is fully plugged in.

For Error 3194, don't use TinyUmbrella. Head over to your host file, manually remove or comment out any Apple hosts (gs.apple.com), then delete the host.umbrella file in the same directory. Flush your DNS after, and retry. Make sure iTunes is closed while doing so.

Trying redsnow with 6.1.3 but giving me failed because missing key.plist

Why

 

[willerz2]

Why would you use RedSn0w in the first place if you're not preserving your baseband or restoring to a custom iOS......

Remove iTunes and all of its cache from your computer. Uninstall your USB driver and reboot your computer. Reinstall a fresh copy of 11.1, have the device in Recovery Mode and restore using the Restore button.

Try with three brand-new notebooks (never used itunes)

Install 11.1

And still gives me error 21

 

[willerz2]

Uninstall iTunes again, remove all the locally cached files. Then download and install iTunes 11.0.5 from below. Turn off your AV if you have one while restoring.
