redsn0w 0.9.6b4 firmware 4.2.1 Iphone 3g, stuck on "Uploading RamDisk"

**osotegreat** · 11-25-2010, 01:18 AM

After about 10 minutes of this, the phone shuts off. The same thing happened with the previous version, so I had to update earlier today, hence doing this. I am running win. 7 ult. (not genuine), but I was able to JB 4.1 with sn0wbreeze before this whole mess started

I am pretty annoyed, and I am about to take it to someone who offers JB services in my area. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Why waste your money, use the same method to restore back to Snowbreeze 2.1 of IOS 4.1
Use Ireb 4.1 Release 2 to bypass and put you into DFU mode and restore to this Snowbreeze_4.1.ipsw.

I believe I have exactly the same problem

Just upgraded to 4.2.1 on my iphone 3G to jb but when it reaches to "downloading jb data" the program crashes on the computer. I'm on XP sp3 using the newest redsn0w 0.9.6b4.

What can I do?

You may need a certain version of .net framework. Not sure though, just guessing. Your best bet may be to try it on another computer.

do you know if there is a certain .net framework that is needed?

Not sure. Like I said I havent used xp in a few years now so unsure what needs to be installed for redsn0w to work properly. Are you on 32bit or 64bit windows xp?

**Eyetattoo** · 11-26-2010, 11:59 AM

When you open Redsn0w open your task manager, right click on the redsn0w process and click on set affinity. Uncheck CPU 0 and then proceed with running redsn0w. Should work like a charm!

Ya I have heard multi-cores can sometimes cause issues. Give this a go too.

**Simon** · 11-26-2010, 12:04 PM

**Spik3z** · 11-26-2010, 12:22 PM

**Eyetattoo** · 11-26-2010, 12:46 PM

**dRiks92** · 11-26-2010, 04:12 PM

Hi !

First, Sorry for my bad english.

I read this topic because I had the same problem. (fixed thank's to Eyetattoo)

But now, Redsn0w stucks on "Uploading Kernel".

Does anyone have a solution ?

Please

[00:45] Edit : It's okay ! I changed computer and it worked.

**Simon** · 11-26-2010, 04:42 PM

Reboot and try it again.

**osotegreat** · 11-27-2010, 03:18 AM

I did a right click > Troubleshoot compatibility and it told me to start it in XP SP2, so I did, and it worked completely.

**tw1zt3d** · 11-27-2010, 10:57 AM

Okay. i've done various combinations of the following

Unchecked CPU 0 on check affinity
Run as Admin
Ended AppleMobileDeviceManager process (this was fun, when the phone turns off, it pops up in the task manager, when it turns on, it pops up again)
Run compatibility in XP

and it still crashes when i get to the installing ramdisk screen (luckily since no processes start, i'm able to just turn off the phone and turn it back on)

i'm running Vista 32x, and an iPhone 3G. i never realized how much i dislike this phone in a non jailbroken state.
