Unplug your iPhone and plug in back in, and it will start up! I guarantee this works from personal experience.

They should insert this tip into the program.

yes I have tried this three times on two separate iphones. did work for me as well. One thing to note, there are a few tense seconds (minutes) where the phone lights up but nothing seems to happen. Some people might panic and try to unplug and or reset the thing. Just be patient until you see the hard disk image with the green arrow on the phone signalling that the process is continuing.

yes i agree they should put this as part of the tutorial, as it happens almost consistently with my experience

I collected some tips here:

Tips: If your iPhone stuck “waiting for reboot” using redsn0w | Ryan Isra, Cyberworld, Technology

I hope it help.

Simply unplug the USB connector from the iPhone and plug it back again. Right after that, you will notice a momentarily refresh on the screen.Then everything should go fine afterward.The solution has been tested on Mac with Redsn0w 0.8. Hopefully, it will also work on Windows..
