Redsn0w "waiting for reboot" - Any clues?

[gkaloy10]

Hey guys,


I have tried to jb my iphone 3g a few times, in the past i have been successful but im having problems on 4.0.

Redsn0w completes the process and shows the "waiting for reboot" screen, but the phone doesn't reboot.... I have tried unplugging and re-plugging etc.

Has anyone got any tips?


Cheers

Make sure your downloading the right IPSW and the right one for your model of your iPhone. I made this mistake last time.

I too made this simple mistake and it took me a while to realize it. Very easy to do. Make SURE you're downloading/installing THE version for your device. I will be certain for this iOS4 update!
