Hi All, unjailbroken iphone 4, not sure if phone was left in girlfriends bag and too many pin entries were entered or if the update done a few weeks ago did it but phone is stuck in recovery mode (connect to itunes icon).

I have tried redsnow, Ifuntastic umbrella etc but nothing resolves it. As soon as I put it into DFU it comes up as soft dfu mode in redsnow etc and doesnt have the next option.

When trying to restore in Itunes error 40 comes up.

Really exhausted every angle and was hoping someone might have a working fix for this please.
 
Thanks loads, I just realised GreenPoison was used on this phone trying to jailbreak it. I installed TinyUmbrella,

followed step 2 changing the advanced settings..

selected fix recovery in Tinyumbrella...

iphone screen goes white..

then brings up
Unable to find gBdevList
Unable to find fs_mount
Unable to find fs_unmount
Unable to find fs_load_file
greenpoison initialized

hung for a while before some text filled screen....

I then put into dfu and plugged into itunes but just restoed usually through Itunes and hey presto it works!!!

Thanks your TinyUmbrella step was the difference.


Peace


 
If it's going into soft DFU mode, then you're doing something wrong when you're putting the device into DFU mode.
