Are you trying this on a Mac running 10.5.6? If so then you are being hit by the problem where the Mac will not recognise an iPhone in DFU mode. You can either get a Mac running 10.5.5 (or earlier), use a Windows PC :( or connect the iPhone via a USB hub. If you are not using a Mac running 10.5.6 then where in the process described at,

^^^^ what he said.

Ah yes, I forgot about the new problems that 10.5.6 have caused.

Good thing I haven't updated to it yet. I don't feel like going out and buying a USB hub just yet.

yours -
AppleUSBHub - 276kb
IOUSBCompositeDriver - 148kb
