Redsn0w tethered connection issue! please help

[Ehjay]

I'm not to sure if this is the right section to be posting for assistance but it seemed like the best choice.

I just recently jailbroke my iphone 4 on iOS 5.0.1 and the only available option was partial tether, which was fine until this morning. I woke up to my phone connected to its usual charging cable (the one that came with the device) but I was getting the message charging is not supported with this device. It had a pretty low charge and when I tried to connect it to my computer or alarm clock dock not only did it not charge but it didn't connect at all. When I tried my other cable again I don't even get that message anymore, it just doesn't respond to the cable at all.

I don't know what else I can try, as even if I found a way to charge it I would still need to connect it to my pc before it is usable again. It is less than a year old so I could send it in but I have no way of restoring it before I do so and jailbreaking voids warranty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Wow...that sucks...u could have bad cable or bad dock connector on phone...try different cable...hopefully u have everything backed up...u could try dfu mode restore and start over...see if iTunes can recognize dfu mode...

I don't believe it is the cable, I have two that don't work. I was using my dock to charge the day before and I also tried two of my friends ipod touch cable and dock and ipad cable. I can't restore because it is completely drained I would gladly sacrifice all of my data and start over if it means I will have a phone tomorrow lol. But as a far as I can tell I either need to connect to a computer or have some battery life in the device to do so. Is there another way? thankts
