Help: Unrecognized Build after trying to Boot Tethered

[ChasK510]

My phone had died last night when I was jailbroken with the tethered break. Now I lost all of my themes and such and when I went back to boot tethered again through RedSn0w it is giving me the error that "Unrecognized Build". I'm not really sure what to do now.

Any help?

Thank you.

Ok I got it now but now when I go through Redsn0w it just gets stuck at the "waiting for Reboot" point. Now what? lol

Are you running redsn0w as administrator?

I don't know how you use redsn0w but when I first download the redsn0w zip file I extract it to my desktop

Then I open the folder and drag redsn0w.exe to my desktop.

Then I right click on .exe file
Click Properties
Click Compatibility

Then underneath "Privilege Level" I check "Run this program as administrator"

Then click okay so it saves.

This makes redsn0w always run as admin when you open it.

Much better then right clicking and clicking "run as administrator" every time you open it.

If you are on Windows you must always run redsn0w as administrator. Always.
