OTB 1.1.2: Cannot go into recovery mode to downgrade

**BlueAngel** · 12-04-2007 01:44 PM

Hi
I am trying to go under recovery mode but i am not able to do so.
Anyone can help ? Maybe I am missing something.

Here's what i am doing
- I connect the iphone to my comp, with itunes open.
- Itunes detects and ask me to activate ..i dont do anything
- I press the home button and the sleep/wake button
but it never reboots ...the iphone screen just change and ask me to "Slide to power down" or something like that ....

please try this:

1. shut down itunes, turn off the phone, connect it to your computer

2. press both, sleep and home button for 10 seconds, around the 8th second the screen will turn black, still hold the two buttons and the iPhone will turn back on. When it turns on, release the sleep button but still hold the home button until you see a screen with the cable. You are now in restore-mode. DO NOT unplug the iPhone

3. start iTunes; iTunes should report that it found an iPhone in recovery mode

let me know if it worked

If you're using windows you can also use the executable iphoneinterface.exe in the iBrickr folder. In the terminal screen enter command enterrecovery and press enter.
