I have an iPhone 3G that is in Recovery Mode and no SIM card. I would like to use PwnageTool 4.1 to jailbreak it, but I'm unable to put it into DFU mode.
make sure the phone is plugged up to your computer, do a hard reset, as soon as the screen goes black for the reset start the process for dfu mode, you have to be quick but it will work (I have done it), if you aren't familiar with how to put a phone in dfu then learn before you try or you will be there a while
