iPhone 3G stuck in restore.

[Murdouken]

Hello everyone

I have an iPhone 3G on Baseband 6.15. It was running 3.1.3 but I asked my sister to plug it in and charge. When she did, she also decided to update it via itunes when the popup came up.

Needless to say, this ****** it up and now it's stuck in restore mode. I've tried using tinyumbrella to kick it out but unfortuantely it just turns off, and when I turn it back on it's still in restore.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Your iphone is now at fw 4.2.1, run itunes : shift + restore to 3.1.3, activate it with official sim, and go to jailbreakme.com from safari on your iphone to do the jailbreak again. Unlock with Ultrasn0w to unlock.

Murdouken, Please share your experiences as I am also facing the same problem. Were you able to get you iPhone back in working condition.

I was!

Basically, I downloaded the 3.1.3 firmware and shift+clicked in itunes to restore to that. It worked, but I was stuck in the emergency calls mode. I don't have a sim to activate with, so I downloaded sn0wbreeze 1.4, created a custom firmware using the 3.1.3 ipsw, used ireb to enter pwnd DFU mode and then shift+clicked in itunes to restore to the custom firmware. After that it worked flawlessly.

I had some trouble finding Sn0wbreeze 1.4 online, so if you want me to upload it or the 3.1.3 custom firmware then send me a PM.
