iphone 3gs 4.2.1 uncommon jailbreaking issues

ok stats:
iphone 3gs on iOS 4.2.1 BB 5.15.04
using snowbreeze on windows 7 x64, completes every step normally until after ireb creates its ipsw which itunes refuses to recognize. tried getting different source ipsw, no change. redsnow just freezes on "waiting for reboot" step. not sure what else to do, have literally been up all night. i need this jailbroken, no unlock he's staying with at&t, asap. any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you managed to do the restore via itunes?

Are you going into DFU mode via Redsnow to restore via Itunes in extras.

Then when in iTunes are you holding down shift and clicking on restore at the same time, then manually selecting the custom IPSW??

That would explain the problem.

Not sure fella - Shurlock may have an idea, as he is on AT&T.

If the unlocking is not an issue, try resetting the network settings. If that doesn't help, I recommend contacting AT&T.
