Redsn0w - waiting for reboot - searched and tried solutions already
- Hey everyone, I know you probably get tons of people asking this question, but I'm stuck on the waiting for reboot in redsn0w. Here's all the information I can give:
redsn0w 0.9.5b5-b
Most recent iTunes
iPod Touch 2nd Gen (non-mc)
current firmware: official 4.0, using "iPod2,1_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw"
Windows 7 and Windows Xp
Things I tried:
all combinations of compatibility mode/run as admin in win7
safe mode in win7
restore iPod and try again
restart computer after initial stage of jb
manually shutdown iPod and put back into dfu mode
manually shutdown iPod and put back into recovery mode
note: when I do this, the jb will continue like it should and get to finish, but nothing happens on the iPod. It just stays on the iTunes plug screen the whole time.
unplug and replug cable in same and different ports
older version of redsn0w
different cable
removing all options but "install cydia" in redsn0w
I'm sure that I'm putting it into dfu and recovery mode correctly because I can tell from the device manager. From what I've read it sounds like the only problem would be the ipsw, but I'm sure I have the right one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Last edited by darkpaladin79; 07-16-2010 at 06:24 PM.

They say it on their beta page that it's possible:
This BETA release supports:
iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G only (for now)
Mac OSX x86 and Windows only (for now)
the 4.0 official FW only (for now)07-17-2010 01:29 PMLike 0
