I recently purchased an Iphone 4 Verizon 8gb from ebay so I do not have any shs blobs and I am not sure what ios it is running on. The iphones is not water damaged. The phones screen is off and when I plug it into a computer it automatically is recognized as being in soft DFU mode. If I try to do a restore I get stuck on waiting for iphone and the phones screen displays the apple logo with a empty loading bar. This happens in both regular DFU mode and soft DFU mode. If I try and jailbreak the phone using redsn0w it throws an error and put the device into recovery mode. While in recovery mode, I have tried restoring using itunes. Initially I got error 3194 so I went and edited the host file which corrected the error 3194 and when I tried restoring again itunes gave me error 21.
I have used TinyUmbrealla to try and fix recovery and that results in the screen sometimes turning white and other times I get text that states "Unable to find gBdevList Unable to find fs_mount Unable to find fs_unmount Unable to find fs_load _file Greenpois0n initialized". After being stuck on that screen for a while it will either boot back into soft DFU mode or it loads a page of code, get stays like that for a while and then reboots to soft DFU. I'm not sure if I have exhausted all my options but if you have any suggestions please help. Thanks
