- Pardon the noob question, but long story short I recently got my phone replaced and it was already running 5.0.1 so I had no choice but to do a tethered jb (non jb phone just blows, even with new notification system).
anyways, my question is, since now i have to put the phone into the dfu mode and reboot through redsnow, what do i do if for some reason i actually run out of the battery and my phone shuts down?
do i plug it into the wall and have the battery charge without it turning on, and then do the put in the fdu mode procedure? will this work? what will happen when the phone turns on on it's own? will it automatically brick or can i put it into the fdu mode and re-boot with redsnow?

Of course, you could also install SemiTether from Cydia, which will let the phone boot up even if jailbroken. It just won't let you use any of your jb apps/tweaks until you do a regular tethered boot, but at least this way you can power down the normal way if you're really worried about that.11-21-2011 12:34 PMLike 0 - Even if it turns on when you plug it in, it doesn't really "brick," it just won't boot. In that case you simply do the tethered boot by plugging into your computer and running redsn0w; when it gets to the part about powering down your phone you can just do a restart (holding home and power buttons) and get into DFU from there before it has a chance to get stuck at the Apple logo. Timing is key but it's not hard once you're used to it; it might just take a couple of tries the first time.

- The semi-tether works fairly well. I've not had to rely upon it as I just jail broke yesterday, but I did reboot my phone and verified that I could access native apps, could access atomic browser, could send/get text messages, and could make phone calls.11-22-2011 04:30 PMLike 0
- It doesn't really matter from what I gather ... If you dont turn your phone off it's not gonna make a difference11-28-2011 01:27 AMLike 0
