Just want to warn people. I jailbroke with a new 3G S and redsn0w .8 mac. I got to update cyndia and installed winterboard. Restarted and brick. Won't boot to DFU mode and itunes doesn't recognize it. Just giving a heads up. Going to return mine to the Apple store and say I installed a new app from the store and it won't boot. If anyone knows how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Itunes won't recognize remember and no DFU mode. I am screwed ha ha.
What happens if you hold power and home for 10 secs and then let go of power while continuing to hold home?
Just restore from backup.Quote:

I do all the procedures for DFU mode and the apple logo appears then shuts off immediately not matter what you do. I have been holding power and home for a while now making sure it's not just hung on for some reason. Itunes can't recognize it and also won't force into DFU mode. It doesn't have enouph time to even boot into this mode it immediately shuts off. Luckily I still have my 3G for backup. Just posting this as a warning everything seemed fine till I put in winterboard. I did not restart though till I installed that. So I can't pinpoint exactly what could be the problem.
Thanks.
Restart your pc...Quote:

push fix is not included in redsn0w 0.8.
At the moment, I believe push is still problematic.
CPICH is probably still investigating this one.
Also after installing ultrasn0w, if you don't get signal, per Dev Team please perform: Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings
I had the same problem (after doing the same thing, installing Winterboard on my purplera1n RC2 iPhone 3GS), follow these specific steps and you'll be golden:Quote:

4) Plug iPhone into Computer. I don't care what the current state of the iPhone is at present, just plug it in to the computer with iTunes open.
5) Hold Power and Home for 10 seconds until the phone cuts off.
6) YOU HAVE ABOUT ONE SECOND TO DO THIS, SO DO IT QUICKLY: Immediately after the phone cuts off, release both the Power and Home buttons and then press them again and hold them for 10 seconds. You should note that the Apple logo DOES NOT re-appear.
7) Let go of the Power button and keep holding Home.
8) Poof, 3.0 3GS in DFU mode.
9) Use redsn0w to jailbreak the device and install Cydia/Icy
10)Reboot with a fully working iPhone without having to restore.
It's important that the phone is plugged into iTunes, and it's important that you realize you will only have about one second before the device will automatically attempt to power itself back on while connected to your computer -- if you see the Apple logo, you didn't do it quick enough. Start over.
After installing redsn0w, I did not need to upgrade Winterboard, though the obvious four (libxml, cydia, mysql, etc.) needed immediate updates.
EDIT: Installing redsn0w blew my Cydia installed package list away so I needed to reinstall everything I had installed while purplera1ned to get it to show in Cydia, which did cause the springboard to boot in safe mode the first time I installed Winterboard, but I did a package upgrade and that fixed everything again.
the first time i jailbroke with redsn0w after i updated cydia i got an infinite reboot loop, yay. so i popped it into dfu and restored in itunes. re-jailbroke with redsn0w again and now almost everything seems fine except when i try to go to settings>general settings crashes, every time. anyone else have this issue?
