  1. I need help

    Hi! I am trying to jailbreak with the latest redsn0w and every time I try it, I get to the DFU mode part and then it starts jailbreaking, but when it says waiting for reboot, it never reboots! What am I doing wrong? I am following everything perfectly but it isn’t working!

  2. Don't worry.

    Same happened to me. I did everything it told me to. But after second stage came the ”waiting for reboot” and it stuck there. After that I ran Redsn0w again and it worked.

    So try to jailbreak it as many times it needs.

    Hey guys..so heres my experience..i have a 3G on 4.0.1. After about 4 hrs of messing with redsn0w i finally was able to come to the conclusion that if you get stuck at the first reboot..simply go back and reopen another redsn0w and rerun the process..(but this time do not try to put it in dfu mode..just keep clicking next). I did this about 3 to 5 times..(so it could reboot the remaining data)..and then it finally Jailbroke my iphone.
