Detective Work : Jailbreaking iPhone 3G without DFU!!
Alright, i have an aged iphone 3G that has way surpassed it's warranty period, and definitely didnt survived the iOS upgrade era where the performance dropped beyond imagination...!Like what an user lamented, since Apple resorts to such scrupulous method to 'coerce' existing 3G Iphone users to upgrade to Iphone 4g and beyond, she decided to jump into the jailbreak wagon since Apple has not made a fairplay.
Anyway, am amidst an awful process where my Iphone 3g is not detected in Windows, after a failed DFU process i've done using Redsn0w. Still do not know what is wrong now, my Iphone fails completely in black screen after Redsn0w 'waiting for reboot' seems forever.
Please let me know if you have similar problems, or have found a workaround solution.
What?
1. iPhone 3G with a broken home button. This prevents me from using jailbreaking programs that require me to enter DFU mode manually!
What I have done so far:
1. Using latest version of Redsn0w 0.9.6rc12
2. Updated & restore my Iphone with modified 4.2.1 (as listed here)
3. Successfully placed my iphone to DFU mode automatically
4. BUT, Redsn0w patching process didnt succeed with the program waiting forever 'Waiting for reboot'
NOW!
5. Reboot my laptop and my Iphone cannot be powered on, and neither can it be detected in Itunes now...
