DFU Loop? Help please.

[stukie99]

Hi,

I recently started a thread asking for guidance on Jailbreaking and Unlocking an iPhone 3GS. I didn't know the iOS on the phone, or baseband as it hadn't been activated through iTunes.. I couldn't activate because it's locked to AT&T and we don't have that network here in the UK.

I used sn0wbreeze v2.9 to build a custom 4.2.1 IPSW. Everything seemed to be going great, but literally seconds before it completed the restore, the laptop powered off. I tried to restore using the custom IPSW again and it seemed successful. iTunes confirmed it had completed the restore, so I clicked ok and then straight after popped up a message saying the phone was in recovery mode and must be restored. I looked at the iPhone and it appears to still be in DFU.

I tried to restore using the custom IPSW again, and it the laptop powered off again seconds before it was completed.

It's a really old laptop that I've been using which is why I'm guessing it's powering off, I'm going to try and restore through my PC later but how should I do Jailbreak so that I'm not stuck in this DFU Loop?

I have no idea what my baseband is has I can't check. Please help!!

Thanks

Download TinyUmbrella and kickbit out of recovery using that or use redsn0w.

Maybe handy to leave laptop connected to power next time...

use TinyUmbrella to set your host to apple again instead of cydia

Update to latest itunes, and put your phone in pwned DFU mode. And as mentioned above, uncheck the hosts to cydia in tiny umbrella.
