In the event of a brick

[orion1108]

Hello I have a Quickpwnd 2.2 IPhone 3G and a late 2008 unibody Macbook. I heard that DFU does not work on the Macbook, so I authorized itunes with my Windows PC computer and jailbroke it on there. Afterwards I just started using my Macbook again for syncing purposes and have never used the ITunes on PC again. If my IPhone bricks or anything to the point that it will not start, how will I be able to recover it?

At that time you have to use Automator program to pass the DFU issue on 10.5.6 mac.

It is nearly impossible to brick your phone with software. 999 times out of 1000 the phone being "bricked" is due to hardware failure or damage by the use if the phone is dropped. If you're having software issues you can put the phone into recovery mode and restore that way.

Whats your osx version?I think 10.5.6.So use it to put it into DFU mode&then restore it to itunes.

whoa i did that patch and now when i press the buttons to enter dfu on my phone, the window on itunes pops up saying "your iphone is in recovery mode". so that means that dfu is enabled?
