The screen IS black when you are in DFU mode. There's nothing displayed when in DFU mode, its completely blank.
but when i run redsn0w, follow the exact instructions with it's built in timer, it says it doesn't detect anything in DFU mode.
and if i did put it in DFU mode once, and kept trying, it would still stay in DFU mode, right?
found a video here of what is happening to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6ej5VlCfTM
edit: quick recap since this is on a new page.
iPhone 3GS
Jailbroken to iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw
used redsn0w_mac_0.9.9b5
battery died, stuck on black screen.
when plugged into the wall, nothing- no connect sound from 3GS or charging screen.
when plugged into the computer, nothing- same as above, and also no iTunes detection.
tried:
holding down power + home for 10 seconds > home for 10 sec- nothing.
holding down power for 3 sec > power + home for 10 sec > home button alone for 10 sec- nothing.
(for counting purposes, i am using a timer instead of counting in my head.)
