Post: iPhone 3Gs Stuck in DFU mode after Sn0wbreeze 4.3.3 HELP!!!
07-27-2011, 04:49 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, so I restored my iphone 3gs from 4.3.3 ofw to 4.3.3 cfw using sn0wbreeze and when it was done. it went into a DFU mode loop, NOT recovery. All there is
now is a black screen. I have tried everything. Here is a list of what I have tried.

- Restoring to OFW
- iReb
- Different CFW
- Downgrading
- Running fixrecovery421.exe and fixrecovery43.exe

This is everything I have tried. PLEASE help me as I just bought this today!!! BTW the baseband is 5.16.02 and it is a MC model, and NEW bootrom.

I also know that it IS DFU mode because whenever I go into something that asks for DFU, it is already in DFU mode. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
+Rep to whoever gets my iPhone 3Gs out of DFU mode untethered.

If you restore with a CFW you can't get back to a OFW !!
Do you have the new or the old bootroom ? with the new bootroom you can't downgrade the 3Gs ... only works with 3G !
Just try to update again to 4.3.3 und jailbreak with Redsn0w .

And to get it out of DFU Mode try to press AND holding the "home -button" and the "Power-button" for 10 - 15 Sec this will get you out of DFU !!

And if you would like to unlock the 3Gs on 4.3.3 you must pay for it, i think it's not possile to do this by yourself !

Dude, you don't know anything. The cfw preserved the baseband, the downgrade WORKED, and I can unlock it ANYTIME I want FOR FREE! The home and power just kicks me right back into DFU and no it is not a hardware failure. This happens whenever I restore using a custom ipsw, but I usually solve this problem within a few minutes.

But if you are on a Custom Firmware you cant update the newest OFW from Apple you must wait every time for a CFW to update your iDevice, and this can take a long time ! haha
