[help]iPhone 3G stuck in recovery mode

[scho01]

My iPhone was jailbroken and unlocked with firmwire 4.2.1

I thought I stored my SHSH in cydia since I saw it on the main page of cydia has mentioned something like "SHSH: ios 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.2b3"

I wanted to reset everything on my phone, so I simply pressed "Error my iphone and data" under setting on my iPhone.

My iPhone stuck in the middle when restoring, so I had to restart my iPhone by holding power+home buttons.

Then, my iPhone could not start, and stuck in the recovery mode.

Now I tried to use TinyUmbrella, I wasnt able to retrieve my SHSH on server. I tried to use the legal way to restore my iPhone using iTunes. I always got a message of 1015.

I tried to kick my iPhone out of the recovery loop wit TinyUmbrella and iReb. My iPhone did reboot but it went back to the recovery mode again.

Thank you so much if someone can help me!

I have no phone to use right now.

Hope you have better luck than me. Mine is stuck in recovery mode (DFU) and no-one knows how to get it out. I've been trying for two weeks.

1) Jailbroke IPhone 3Gs with RenSn0w [Tethered
2) Firmware version 4.2.1
3) Baseband 6.15
4) Attempted to unlock with UltraSnow
5) New Boot Loader

Rebooted IPhone Came up in recovery mode

Used ITunes to attempt to restore the Phone

Now every thing I try gets me back to the recovery screen

I can get it in DFU mode
tried reinstalling Cydia it looked like this might work but when
all was said and done and I rebooted back in Recovery Mode.

Hope some one has a solution?????????

I had gone through this exact same situation. Running 4.2.1 on iPhone 3g, BB 06.15. I had wanted to sell it, so I chose the option to "Erase data and settings." In the middle of the process, the phone got stuck on the pineapple icon. I put it into Recovery Mode, where it remained for the last few days.

I was finally able fix it by doing this:

1) Put the phone into DFU mode using pwnagetool

2) Go into iTunes and hold down shift when clicking restore

3) Restore to a customized firmware. I built mine using pwnagetool, combining the 3g 4.2.1 ipsw with the ipad bb 06.15. There are instructions online for that.

Pwnagetool is your best friend in this situation. Hope this helps, good luck!
