- hold power + home for 10 sec
- after 10 sec, release power/sleep and continue holding home
- when hearing the connection tone from the computer, let go of home

This kind of info always helps. Thanks for posting

just a quick question on top of this, what is the diference between restoring on normal mode or DFU?
For the record, when winpwning 1.0 I did the DFU thing, but when I used the iPwned image (from a mac) to upgrade to 2.0 I didin't bother to DFU, just shift-clicked restore and the upgrade went on.
Was I extremely lucky not to end with a brick, or it didn't really matter since my phone was already Pwned?

Thanks!

I think you meant "release sleep/wake and continue holding home"

Anyway, it should work with iTunes running too. These are the steps I use:

Connect iPhone to computer
Hold both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons till screen turns black
Release the Sleep/Wake button 2 secs after the screen turned black
Continue holding the Home button till your computer beeps saying it detects your iPhone

You can then release the Home button

DFU mode is a success when the screen is totally black. When there is a cable with iTunes logo, you are in Recovery mode. Try again.

Oh - yes... thanks.
My bad, my bad.
It's release power/sleep.
I will make correction now.

i had similar problems with DFU and like suggested above, it's the best option and way to do it...cheers!...

Recovery and DFU are a pain sometime...but after you do it a couple of times, you can do it with ur eyes closed and your ears open...lol

cheers!

could you provide a little bit more info for us with the 2G iPhone.

I have iPhone 1.0.2 OTB originally opened with iBrickr, AnySim, Pacay...etc
working great since last year August 2007 on R..gers Canada.

What is your setup with your 2G iPhone..?
Also did you VIRGINIZE your phone before you DFU, if so what Virgin steps did you use..thanks

So i did everything in here

1. issue i cant get the ipod into DFU.... wenn i do the screen is black but once i start up itunes the screen bekomes white and the Apple Itunes + Kable logo appear...

Im using Firmware 1.4 Itunes Version 7.7.0.43 "64bit"
its always the same error 1604

tried also to go back to itunes 7.5 but then it wouldnt even recognise my ipod anymore... so im Stuck!!!!

anny sugestions ???

also windows disconects and reconects the ipod about 5 times during DFU then it just gets into normal restore mode i think

I have one more suggestion...Through Ziphone-->Advance options--> I can put into DFU Mode...without doing all this and that Normally works all the time.....

Normally thats what i use it for...Just to put in DFU mode as its easier that ways
