Hi everyone, I have a serious problem with my iPhone 3G.

I used sn0wbreeze 1.3 to create a custom FW 3.1.3, because i use ultrasn0w in order to use my carrier. I was using FW 3.1.1

I put on the custom FW blacksn0w and another package like mQuickDo.

The home button stopped working long time ago and that's why i can't enter in DFU mode.

My iPhone is always rebooting with the sn0wbreeze logo, and that's the only screen it shows: The black screen with the snowflake logo:



I tried to enter in DFU mode using the utility you need to put in the command line “c:/dfu/dfu iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu” but it can't find the iphone since when in plug it into the USB, the PC don't dettect it, i think thats is cause because of the freeze on the rebooting. I tried in several computers but no one is able to detect it.

I also open my iphone trying to repair the button, but i didn't find any fail of connection or similar.

I've read several post in the forum, but i can't find a good solution, because all of them are for entering in DFU mode and i've tried a lot of things but i can't enter.

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT: I've reached another screen, but my pc isn't still able to detect the iPhone in order to get DFU o recovery. This is the screen:



At least when i put it into the USB, the plug image disappear showing only the bolt, this means that the iPhone detect is chargin

We don't provide any support for sn0wbreeze here. That has been explained many times now.

The one thing I don't understand about your post is that you put blacksn0w into the custom ipsw. Earlier you stated you used ultrasn0w.

I used ultrasn0w in 3.1.1 but when i use sn0wbreeze it gave me the only option of use blacksn0w.

Anyway, what i'm searching is a way to restore mi iPhone...

I can't think of an easy solution for you now. (aside from getting your home button fixed).

As always, if you are unsure - ask before trying things (like blacksn0w on sn0wbreeze when you really need ultrasn0w - or that DFU utility (which is only for 2G iPhones I believe).

If you just try tool after tool, you risk screwing things up more.
