jailbroken iphone 4 (iOS 4.1) stuck in *disabled mode* for 40 years

[sagredo]

greetz,

my niece (3 years old) was trying to get into my iphone4 to play games I have showed her and ended up entering the wrong passcode 24 times. (I reworked the math)

apple's security feature increases the lockout time exponentially, so now my iphone4 is stuck.

the simple way to fix this issue is to *RESTORE* but I have contacts, SMS and invaluable photos I do not want to lose.

Can someone walk me through using iRecovery to get a raw disc backup so I can restore in peace?

something like nervegas' technique:

P.S. this is me with my phone if anyone is doubting I paid for it myself (I have plenty of other pictures uploaded with the phone in the photo that are now on facebook I am happy to share): upstream (ashzilla) on Twitter

HUGE thanks in advance!

When was the last time it was synced before she disabled it?

hey x98, I only sync'd it once to get the device operational, and was on a friend's macbook who was a foreign exchange student at USC...

someone suggested putting it into DFU restore, sending a restore signal, and then right when the loading screen appears to instantly disconnect it.

highly dangerous to my data and the hardware but I really need a solution!

Sorry, without a backup I am unsure how to get your stuff off. Is it jailbroken?
