iPhone stuck in Recovery mode. Trouble restoring iPhone - what could I do? I have an iPhone 3G. I am trying to restore it but have had trouble all day. This is what I have done so far:


Run redsn0w 0.96b6
Use iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw as the current firmware.
Run redsn0w with default settings until the iPhone enters DFU mode
Everything from redsn0w's perspective runs great - the phone installs the jailbroken data, and reboots, as expected.
I then open up iTunes and still get a "an iPhone was detected in recovery mode" error. My iPhone shows the frustrating image of the USB cable plugging into iTunes.


What could I be doing wrong? I'm at my wits end here.

Thanks.
A program called the firmware umbrella can be used to "kick a device out of recovery mode".
