When the iphone is stuck in that mode, it does not take the charge. Only when the phone booted up normally then the charge via computer will take place. I did not know this until someone pointed out to me.

Ok just to confirm this also worked for me! It would not work on my 64bit windows machine but worked on my win xp after an hour or so. The wifi setting is greyed out tho so cannot access wifi.

I can CONFIRM rimons solution. It Works!!!!!!
I was very happy this morning, as I see my Iphone working. DD

I have let blackra1n running the whole night. There
was about 25 messageboxes, this morning.

Used System: Laptop, Windows XP, itunes 8.2

Last week i had tried on my PC with Windows 7 64-bit,itunes 9, it hadnt work,
so my advice: Dont give up, Dont upgrade to 3.1.3, try with an other PC or OS-System, make sure blackra1n is really running the whole time.

Is does not work for me after having 30 and more box messages....What should i do.... But my battery wasn't in red..Was fully charged.Does it have to be at low battery?

Not yet confirmed on mac blackra1n, any confirmations there would be nice.

There can be other problems that produce the same symptoms. It does not hurt to try this fix first. If this does not work. Try a different computer. If it still does not work then you need to connect via iRecovery and post the results for further diagnosis.

If i let the battery die should i then connect to the pc?During the died battery logo appears the iphone isn't recognised from my pc.After it charges via usb then the opened blackra1n application runs automaticaly.Should i do so or am i doing something wrong?

That is correct.. While you are in this bootloop/freeze mode, the battery does not charge. Then when it gets to approx 5-10% of battery life, the phone's hardware shuts down the phone to avoid damaging battery.

Once the phone is off, it starts charging again and once it gets to approx 20% charge - it turns on again and in this state, blackra1n can kickstart the boot process if it is running.

So i tried it as you told with the phone being in this battery mode and the blackrain running.Ituneshelper.exe was not working! So as soon as it has charged a little bit the apple showed up and the blackrain jailbroke again. I left it then the whole night running but in the morning i just saw again the GeoHot's picture without this spinning wheel.THe phone was stucked again at this picture and the blackrain has only run 5 times.Running OS Vista, itunes 9.I do not know what is wrong...Should i do it again?

How is it possible the phone does not charge when connecting to the usb?

This is just how it works when it is stuck in this bootloop.

The phone charges when it is off. Or running normally.
