are you using a USB hub at all?
When it goes into restore mode does your system install a driver for it?

Try this, when it pauses like that unplug the phone and plug it right back in. You should see the driver change.

close purplera1n and then restart it.

Ok it is not able to talk to your phone,
check device manager and see if there is an entry in USB devices called something like Apple USB restore... or DFU

the only one in there with apple it just says apple iphone...

[Ath_x64]

Hmm I am pretty sure if you are in DFU mode i should say Apple Recovery iBoot USB Driver.


SO we need to get the proper driver installed on your system.
I think you need to do the following and perform a complete restore on the iPhone 3G S

Turn off the phone (hold down home and power until it shuts off)
Unplug the USB cable from the PC (or from the Phone)

Open iTunes, (if it is already open close it and open it again)

Hold down the home button and while keeping it presses plug the phone in
Keep the home button pressed until you see a message saying you have to restore the phone to use it with iTunes.

From there, preform a restore with a good copy of OS 3.0 for the 3G S.

If you made a back up you can restore that after the regular restore is done.

After that is done try Purplera1n.

Also do not use compatibility mode with this, just run it as Administrator...

[gatheredbob]

[Get_Zwole]

so im gonna wanna restore in dfu mode? going by what you said it wont really turn it off it comes back on after i release the two buttons?

What happens when you open iTunes?
Does it tell you that you need to restore?

[Get_Zwole]

no it just comes up normal and starts charging etc. I just held the home and sleep awake until it went off but when i released the phone just came back on now itunes didnt say anything about a restore.

[Ath_x64]

Ok that is odd turn the phone off the normal way (hold down the sleep button)

then follow the rest of the instructions I posted above.
