I have an iphone 3g 5.14.02 I was told today about jailbreak and I attempted before researching....I know so dumb. I tried to jb using limera1n and now my phone will not even turn on. Is there any help for my iphone or is it fried?

I know I have seen a million posts tonight trying to find the answer and I am sure there will be ugly replies to my post but I really hope there is someone out there that can give me an answer...

Thanks in advance

When I try to turn my phone on now it just has the cd and plug when I plug it in itunes does not recognize my phone...I havent done anything after this but I am wondering if I should restore it in itunes? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have read so many posts today my head is seriously killing me and I really need to be studying my Anatomy and Physiology instead of jacking with this phone all day...sigh <why did I even try this?>

Since you already have the 4.1 baseband you may as well restore in itunes to 4.1.
Once there you can use this guide to jailbreak and activate: iClarified - iPhone - How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3G Using RedSn0w (Windows) [4.1]

Then you just have to sit tight for a unlock to come out (if you need to unlock that is) which should be sometime this month.

If itunes isnt recognizing your iphone in restore mode (itunes symbol and cord on the screen) then you can try dfu mode. http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

ok I just tried the restore in itunes and it gave me an error 21...any idea what that is?

sorry I just saw the edit....so I should follow that link?

**iYeow** · 11-13-2010, 08:44 PM

Can you use exit recovery from the feature of tiny umbrella to kick it out.

**Simon** · 11-13-2010, 08:45 PM

yes follow the link and try dfu mode to restore.

**iYeow** · 11-13-2010, 08:45 PM

Did you update your itunes yet ?

**CParks** · 11-13-2010, 08:51 PM

I went to tiny umbrella but wasnt sure where to go for what I needed...sorry yes I updated itunes to 10.1

Should I try DFU or tiny umbrella? Will they both do the same thing?

**Simon** · 11-13-2010, 08:54 PM

Try dfu to restore first. If it fails again and leaves you in recovery then try to use tiny umbrella to exit recovery, you should see the button to do this at the top right of tiny umbrella.

**CParks** · 11-13-2010, 09:04 PM

ok DFU wouldnt work for me....and I still cannot find the link on tiny umbrella (I am so sorry) I downloaded tiny umbrella now, but the "enter recovery and exit recovery" buttons arent clickable...

**iYeow** · 11-13-2010, 09:09 PM

DFU mode : Plug in your iphone > Hold both button for 10 secs > release the Power button but keep holding the Home button for another 10 secs or until you hear a beep on your machine.

Nevermind, just realize what you meant by dfu wouldn't work

**CParks** · 11-13-2010, 09:17 PM

Whew....Thank You so very very much! I can not tell you both how much I appreciate the help tonight....THANKS A MILLION!! That kicked it out! <sigh all this and still no jb> oh well gotta study for my test now!!!! Thanks again!

But tomorrow if I want to jailbreak my phone I can do it through redsnow (the link above?)

**Simon** · 11-13-2010, 09:21 PM

Yes you can use that guide if you are on 4.1

**blkcadi** · 11-13-2010, 09:25 PM

Another happy customer, lolz
Nice job guys helping our new member.

**CParks** · 11-28-2010, 07:05 AM

ok so I am trying to follow the directions posted on iclarified but I can not seem to get redsnOw to verify my ipsw...I am already on 4.1 baseband. I restored it from back up lastnight am I missing a step?

**Simon** · 11-28-2010, 07:18 AM

What is the file name of your ipsw?

**CParks** · 11-28-2010, 07:32 AM

iPhone1,2_4.1_8B117_Restore.ipsw

that is the folder I downloaded and saved in Pwnage

**Simon** · 11-28-2010, 07:35 AM

The folder you downloaded? It is supposed to just be 1 file.

What version of rednow are you using.

**CParks** · 11-28-2010, 08:01 AM

ok....so I am already on 4.1 so I can skip the first few steps of "shift restore" in itunes? I think that is where I am getting hung up....I have redsnow downloaded and can open it but....that is where I cant click next.

redsnow - 0.9.6b4

sigh...Im sorry I know this seems so simple, but I am still hung up. I have an iphone 3g 4.1 5.14.02 and I am using Windows Vista (is Vista messing me up?)

**Simon** · 11-28-2010, 08:10 AM

Ya you dont need to restore. Open redsn0w and click browse to choose the 4.1 firmware you downloaded.

**CParks** · 11-28-2010, 08:18 AM

ok when I click on the file I downloaded it takes me ->firmware -> all flash or dfu file...did it not download right?
