STUCK IN WEIRD MODE ?!?

[adventfred]

ok guys im trying to unlock an iphone 3g thing is it has a broken power botton
so i had to create a dfu mode firmware using redsnow.
Got it installed then tried using redsnow again got a device driver installed then when the phone went blank got a device driver not install and now the phone stays with the backlight on but wont come on.
The power button is broken so i cant restart the phone. what should i do ?

In first place searching the forum would help since you are really not the first person who is facing this issue .

Take a look here and tell me if you knew about this already ?

Get Into DFU mode without Home Button Or Power Button Working - SiNfuL iPhone

BTW : Wrong section .

[adventfred]

I did all that already got into dfu mode, where im stuck is before it uploaded the ramdisk (after i entered dfu) windows said failed to install driver, so the phone is stuck with the backlighting on and i cant power off because the power button is broken.
thats where i need help how do i restart it or get windows to recognize it, because windows doesnt recognize it

Right click my computer --> Properties --> Device Manager
Right click Apple DFU Driver --> Uninstall.
Unplug USB cable
Reconnect USB cable with phone attached in DFU Mode.

Done°

if it don't work maybe try on a mac

go into an apple store and use a demo machine

[adventfred]

Thanks for the help would try and report back.........i dont live in the usa no apple demo store

EDIT: just so you know it shows up as unknown device in the device manager and if i try to update it said best driver is already install, yeah weird.

Any help guys ?

the iPhone driver is part of iTunes

maybe reinstall the latest version of iTunes ?

i have the same problem but i will be replacing the power button with a used one tonight

i made the dfu firmware from redsnow , put it in pwnd dfu , custom install failed now its stuck in "WTF" mode

[ololizoz]

Reinstall latest version of iTunes.

i got mine into dfu following this video. its dangerous but instant dfu

I wouldn't recommend turning the phone on while the screen is off. I burned out the chip that controlled the backlight doing this.

You cant be serious .

Really ?

Unbelievable.

Who comes on these ideas ?

I would never recommend doing this if you have any guaranty on the device and even if not you can break more with that method then it would help you fixing your problem.

Well thats a decision to be made by anyone who is already so far mentally to give this a try instead of giving the idevice in experienced hands to let it be fixed on a profesional way.

i cant spend 50$ to $70 to have a 3g worked on that i could replace the whole device for 50$

i did warn it is dangerous and so does the video but ya it worked

[l8ter]

No offense towards you , since i think this wasn't your idea after all , you just followed this video guide.

Well iam glad this worked for you and it mite works for others too , but as you can read in this video he warned also that this has lead to burned motherboards already .

Well again this is a decision that has any single one to make on his own.

your Device is in the recovery mode so you may use Tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode or update with stock firmware
