Hey guys,
I'm not really familiar with iPhone and jailbreaking.
My iPhone 3G was jailbroken (I'm not sure about other details). I didn't know that we can't reset a jailbroken iphone like a stock iphone and I tried to reset it. It's stuck on the Apple logo. I've done some searching around forums and it seems I need to get the phone into the DFU mode to restore it. The first step is turning off the phone. But, the phone wouldn't turn off ! My power button is broken ! It's still stuck in the Apple logo (and there isn't a loading circle with the logo as I've seen in some videos). I tried the other steps of getting the phone into DFU mode but with no luck it's always stuck in the Apple logo. The screen seems to go black every couple of minutes for a very short time and then again the Apple logo (about 10 minutes between these). Do I wait for the battery to drain and then try home button and plug in the computer to get in recovery mode and restore it ?
Please help I really need to fix my phone asap. I really appreciate any kind of help !
Thank you.
