iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode

mie mie · Apr 5, 2012

I was trying to jailbreak in my iphone 4. I used redsnow 0.9.10b6 and iOS 5.1 firmwares. Just before reboot, I got the error and my phone has been in recovery mode and nothing is appeared over the phone screen. When i connected to pc, it mentioned it is recovery mode and suggested to restore. When I clicked restore, it is in error and can't restore. Then I really don't know what to do because I am just testing the jailbreak and a beginner of iphone. Now I can't use my phone totally because it doesn't appear any though I press the power button.

Is there anyone who can help me? I am totally in trouble.

thanks

Try putting it in DFU mode then restore.

Programmes such as tiny umbrella, the redsn0w programme itself and recboot also can take iPhones out of recovery mode.

Just plug in device, open redsn0w, click the Jailbreak button. Enter DFU.

You did not properly enter DFU the fist time.

After you click jailbreak and enter DFU mode, make sure you "uncheck" install Cydia.

Yea there is. For his phone model, there is a tethered jailbreak for 5.1. And it will not restore fomr Recovery mode. He will have to enter DFU mode f he is going I restore.
