If anyone can please help me, I will paypal $50 to whoever can solve my problem.
I wrecked my motorcycle yesterday and landed on my phone, which has 11 years of pictures, texts, contacts, and notes. They are invaluable to me. My phone charges and starts up. I can get it into DFU mode, I can get it into emergency call mode, and I *think* I can get it into recovery mode although I'm confused as to the difference between that and emergency call mode.
It's a iPhone 3GS running 4.1. I tried tinyumbrella, fixrecovery, and recboot last night. Tinyumbrella had no effect whatsoever. I hit "exit recovery" after unchecking that one box and nothing happened at all. Fixrecovery brought up a black window and started working but then the window simply disappeared right before the step where it's supposed to say "Uploading IBSS payload" or something similar (I've seen a screenshot of it working properly, so I know this was coming next). Recboot didn't work because I didn't have NET 4.0 installed. Recboot was also an older version I think, maybe 1.0.2 or something. So I installed NET 4.0 but I didn't restart my comp yet. At this point, Itunes still recognized my phone, the version of its operating system, that it was in recovery mode and needed a restore, etc. Today I downloaded the current version of recboot (1.3 I think, the one that tells you whether or not it detects a phone in recovery mode) and before I tried using it, I restarted my computer. Once I restarted, Itunes no longer recognized my phone. My computer thought it was a camera, and Itunes displayed my phone's name but just said "waiting for iphone..." and then nothing. So I downloaded Itunes again, which I'm assuming deleted the old Itunes and updated the files. I'm still having the same problem, though. Recboot does not recognize any phones in recovery mode connected to the computer.
I don't care about my phone or its features, I'm just going to buy a new one. I just want my data off of there so I can transfer it to the new phone. It's priceless. Please help.
