Hi all,
1st of i realise theres already 100000 threads on this issue but im just hoping more ppl see this 1, then mods can merge with another :)

So, my iphone is running 4.1 JBd with greenpoison
Sunday night the battery died, and Monday i tried charging it but nothing happened. It just stays at the silver apple logo. Iv forced restarted it a few times but makes no dif. Iv put it in DFU mode a few times aswell.

Only once did i get the itunes>>>usb logo on my screen, so i connected it to itunes, but the only option it gave me was to restore and upgrade to 4.2.1 which i dont want to do. I want to stay on 4.1

How can i get the phone runnin again on 4.1? i still have my apps saved in pkgbackup when i upgraded to 4.1 (hopefully anyway). Do i need to re-JB using GPs DFU mode thing?

Iv never used TinyUmbrella b4 this so i cant use that to kick it out of recovery mode (buttons are unclickable)

Thanks for any help (might need to dumb it down tho, due to my sig haha ):)
