[QUOTE="benparko, post: 1049879, member: 145406"] Hey, First of all, you don't need to put it into DFU mode. Most people don't even know what DFU mode is and what it does. DFU mode is used to bypass the iBoot (Bootrom), and can be used to downgrade firmware. This means if you need to restore your iPhone to current version simply put the iPhone in recovery mode and iTunes takes care of the rest but if you need to downgrade your current firmware to lower one you need to put your iPhone in DFU mode. So.... use Google before asking questions for a simple task on how to get into recovery mode (forced). I know there are plenty of programs for Mac [B]AND[/B] PC that will let you put the iPhone into recovery mode by a click of a button, so you won't need to press any buttons on the iPhone. If this still doesn't work, like [B]bargsbeer[/B] said, it will be most likely hardware. Then, you are pretty screwed. Even if you are covered by the 1year warrenty or the additional AppleCare, your warrenty will be voided because it's jailbroken. Then, I think the only other option you have, is to take it to a non-Apple phone repairer that is [U]EXPERIENCED[/U] in iPhones!! Let us know how you go champ, -Ben [/QUOTE]
