Tips: If your iPhone stuck “waiting for reboot” using redsn0w

Gadget, Software, Tutorial Add comments

Some people get this problem while jailbreaking process using redsn0w. I have some tips after googling for a while, you may luck from 1 of these tips:

- If you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7, don’t forget to use compability mode.
- Run jailbreak in another computer with OS Windows XP Service Pack 2.
- Use iTunes 8.2 if you’re using older iTunes.
- Use redsn0w 0.8 instead redsn0w 0.7
- Plug into another USB Port in your computer.
- Plug then unPlug your USB Port in computer.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer USB directly (without USB hub).
- Use the same file both redsn0w and iTunes. If you use iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw in iTunes, use iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw for redsn0w too.

    Hi Enea,
    To jailbreak 3.1.2 firmware you need to use blackra1n from http://blackra1n.com/ Pwnage from dev-team.
    But you still can’t unlock, you will just be able to use your iPhone as iPod until new version to unlock 3.1.2 firmware is released.
