I work nights so have not had a chance to work on it.... Im home now so I:
Tried with no luck
changed usb location with no luck
restarted computer with no luck
It makes the chimes like it's connected, then not, then at 20 seconds of holding home button when it would typically go into dl quick pwn, it makes the connected sound but nothing happens. hold home until the big grand FAIL message.

my screen is blank (black), if I try to quickpwn again it says I have to hold home and power for 15 seconds to try again, If I hook up to iTunes it says phone is in recovery mode and will need to be restored.... So maybe Im in dfu but for some reason the quickpwn isn't doing it's thing? Ill try a few more things then run off to slumber land and pick up where I left off. Any more input would be great.
