Hi,
i have an iphone 4 running on 4.2.1,while i was simply restarting my springboard ,it freezed on the apple logo.Holding the sleep button didn't help, so i held both sleep and home button.the screen went off so i turned it back on, and i found the itunes + cable screen. I tought i accidently entered recovery mode, but using ''tinyumbrella'' didn't kick it out..and trust me i tried every thing, and used all the tips(holding both buttons), and i know i can restore it, but i'm looking for a way to keep all the data :(...so i took it to this guy..nd he told me that i WAS in dfu mode not in recovery, even with the itunes logo,..thats why i couldn't kick it out :/..nd he said i had no choice but to restore and upgrade(noot what i'm planniing to do):mad:

soo, is anyone familiar with this kind of dfu mode (without black screen)?:confused:..
And pleeazzee doo tell if there's a way to get out of it without restoring or smthn.

Thx
