The tool can't start the jailbreak process after I put my iPhone in dfu (10 on both sleep and power button and another 10 for home button). After I put the phone in Dfu and press jailbreak, nothing happens.
 
Before OP gets ridiculed for trying some type of scam, I googled it and apparantly this is a thing.
Only for iPhone 4's though.

I have, and I noticed this too.

You actually have to press the jailbreak button twice. I think you press it once and it says something like "connect your phone", not exactly sure what it said, I just know the text changes - I did it when it was released. Just hit the button twice :cool:

iPhone 4 will always have a tethered jailbreak, everyone saying 7.1 (on iPhone 4) isn't jailbroken needs to go read up.

Do you have itunes open? I think I had to have itunes opened to the device page to get it to work. It force closes it during the process :/

I am in Windows 8.1, Could this be the problem?

I thought you did :p

I remember it didn't work if it wasn't open at the start, not sure why...is it something to do with how DFU mode works?
