[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 1177071, member: 50033"] Sometimes they get stuck, particularly if they've been jailbroken and you've done extensive mods to them. Let it sit for a few hours with the Apple logo showing, particularly if the circle is swirling. Sometimes, they'll sort themselves out and reboot on their own. If that doesn't work, keep trying to enter DFU mode. Don't get impatient with it. Try it only once every few minutes. It's easy to get frustrated and keep pushing buttons, which only makes the situation worse. You might try downloading Redsn0w and using the timer built into their JB process to make sure your timing is right with the button pushes to enter DFU. Not sure if you can get to the Limera1n or Greenpois0n DFU timing screens without a working firmware, but they only take a minute to download and try. Also, you might trying downloading Tiny Umbrella. It has a button labeled 'enter recovery'. I've never needed to push it, and hope not to, but it may be able to force it into recovery mode. [url=http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/]The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella[/url] If it's still under warranty, take it to the Apple store. I had a 3gs that got stuck in recovery mode and iTunes couldn't recognize it. They tried to restore a couple times and then swapped it out for a new one, no questions asked. If you do get a new one, leave it in the plastic and sell it on ebay for some ungodly amount of money and use the funds to pay for a new iPhone4. If it's not under warranty, keep patiently fiddling with it, and it will eventually pop out. Once it does and you restore, it will be fine. [/QUOTE]
