Hi Attempted to jailbreak my iphone3g 4.2.1 without success and now the phone won't boot up or when connected to my pc with iTunes nothing? Can someone please help
Plug phone into iTunes keep both fingers on home and power button until iPhone is detected, restore, then rejailbreak
Thanks mate, I've tried redsnow and green poison to jailbreak but hasn't worked, it sounds simple enough but the phone just keeps saying try again
It happened to me too . U need a iMac to kick it out of recovery mode for some reason that's the only thing that worked for me with my iPhone 3G after u kick it out on a mac u shud b able to do the jailbreak. I didn't risk doing it.on pc but rather I've done it on a iMac .I hope this helps
U dont need an iMac, just restore to factory in I tunes then rejailbreak, it will wipe everything but I'm sure it will work.
Make sure you backup your iPhone in iTunes before choosing to restore. Then run your backup to put everything back on the iPhone and then Jailbreak. Administrator mode does need to be used if on a Windows computer.
Believe me I've tried restoring but iTunes didn't even recognise my iPhone 3G that's why I had to do it on iMac
Try this.. Plug iPhone into iTunes, hold home and power button until it is recognised, let go of power button but keep hold of home ...
Thanks mariouk your suggestion worked, now I right clicked on redsnow and fr,om the drop downtown menu selected "run as administrator " but still didn't work am I doing this right or wrong???
Do you have the iPad baseband installed? A new feature released by the Dev-Team allows the user to downgrade the iPad baseband. What iTunes errors are you receiving?
lol. I know, you can install the iPad baseband onto an iPhone 3GS. Ultrasn0w can unlock the baseband http://www.emagzin.com/tutorials-an...ing-iphone-3g3gs-using-ipad-baseband-ksmtkmr/
Also, having the iPad baseband installed can cause problems when jailbreaking, updating and restoring.
Restore to factory settings in iTunes. Use DFU mode if iTunes doesn't recognize it. This will do a clean install of 4.2.1 on your iPhone 3G. Then jailbreak using greenp0ison RC5. You can apply your backup after you successfully jailbreak it. This is done by right clicking on your iPhone in iTunes and selecting restore backup. This only restores your backup, not the firmware. How to apply your backup after you jailbreak:
I hope your problem would be solved till now, but to be true, what actually attracted me was the title of your post which seems to be a call for the help for a real Jail-Break!
