3gs stuck in recovery/dfu and wont come out?

[geekgirrl]

I have a 3gs 4.0.1 I was trying to upgrade to 5.0.1. Something happened and itunes tried to restore back I guess and now it's stuck. No holding the power/home buttons system works. It kind of wont shut off and itunes 10.5.3.3 doesnt even see the phone. This is an non jb phone. It was jb a while back but I un jail broke it to 4.0.1.

Any ideas how to get out of this? I dont even think I can do a restore and itunes doesnt see the phone. I'm using windows 7.

Thanks.

Try tiny umbrella to force it out of DFU mode

I'm on an iphone 3gs.

No other way to boot this phone out of dfu/recovery mode than some software?
I dont even know what mode I'm in except that itunes will not see the phone no matter what magic button sequence I use....so far. Grrrrrr...

Tinyumbrella doesnt see my device. The exit recovery & fix recovery buttons are grayed out.

I got it! I tried the 3rd usb port and it worked.
