Hi,
my son had a second hand iphone 4 for Christmas which was jailbroken to version 5.something.
he decided to update it through the phone not iTunes and when it rebooted all we get is the apple logo or the plug into iTunes logo (restore mode I think)
I have tried the following
- iTunes shift restore and choose various files, some fail immediately some get half way and get stuck
- redsn0w seems to work ok and then I see loads of files on the iphone but then I get errors and it just sits there.
- sn0wbreeze seems to work ok but never creates the IPSW file on the desktop.
