redsn0w waiting for reboot

What is a reasonable time to wait for reboot? Nothing has happened for several minutes.

Can I manually reboot?

Thanks

i noticed that if you click FINISH on redsn0w before the phone is totally done jailbreaking, it will never finish, happened to me. Had to put it in recovery mode and restore 3.0 with itunes, then rejailbroke it , waited for phone to complete JB, then closed redsn0w. Wrkd fine

dont worry about it..the same exact thing happen to me 3 times..my iphone would stay with a white screen while redsnow would say WAITING FOR REBOOT...now..when i unplugged my iphone and turn it back on again...it was normal...i didnt restore or nothing...looked like redsnow didnt do anything cause the 3 times i tried it...i turn my phone back on again after putting it in DFU mode and it would start normally...when i tried it the 4th time it booted up normally..just dont worry about it just try it many times and remember...if it stays with the white screen..just turn it off and ON again...it should start normally like mine did...hope this helped

It appears I got through Redsn0w okay, but I can't confirm. Phone says I need a SIM to register the phone with Itunes. How do I get around that? I have a TMobile sim, but the phone hasn't been unlocked yet. Any tips?

well sorry i cant help you out with that one...because i dont have t-mobile...either way try downloading yellowstone from cydia...go to search on cydia and put yellowstone...then run yellowstone...i think that dat should do the trick...

hopefully you made it thru redsn0w. Unplug it power down and power on, if you got the CYDIA icon you are ok, now youre in the same boat i am. I cant get a connection via wifi to click on cydia to download and run ultrasn0w to unlock it.

since it IS JB'd, any ATT card should work in it, so if u know someone with ATT and a data plan ask to use their sim. then u can unlock it with cydia's ultrasn0w.

No AT&T here in Cheyenne WY so finding one to borrow will be problematic. Any other ideas out there?

Not true. The prepaid AT&T SIM's won't work on 3.0.

Can you open Cydia on WiFi and install ultrasn0w and then put your T-Mobile SIM in?
