  3. İf u ll follow the steps and with right firmware verison its working good Thnks

  5. Redsnow wont reboot the system, direction’s are followed, even used with youtube.

    Firmware’s 3.1.3
    Redsnow 0.9.4
    Itunes 9.0.3

    Itouch is locked in DFU mode. Any answers?

  6. Everything worked perfectly. However, do not check “already pwned”.

  7. Alright, I did everything that it told me to do.

    The only modifications I made were that I downloaded a ““iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw” off a downloading site since I did not have it on my own computer; I did not check the “already pwned” box; And I downloaded redsn0w off another downloading site.

    The problem is that it is stuck on the “waiting to reboot” screen. What am I doing wrong? Can any one help please?
