How to get my iPhone 3G out of Recovery mode and into DFU mode?

I had an iTunes restore error, but I don't want to restore it. I'm using Redsn0w and my device is jailbroken.

There are multiple ways this can be fixed. Try this: Make sure the iDevice is completely off. Then hold down the power button for 5 seconds. After the 5 seconds is up, while holding down the power button, hold down the home button for 10 seconds. Then let go of the power button and continue to hold down the home button for 20 seconds or until it says "iPhone Discovered in Recovery Mode." Although iTunes says it's in Recovery Mode, it's actually in DFU mode. If that doesn't work unplug your iDevice from the computer, make sure it's completely off and then hold down the home button for 5 seconds and while holding down the home button plug it into your computer and then continue to hold down the home button until iTunes recognizes it.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery. Can't get into DFU I tried updating to iOS6.0.1 while preserving baseband with redsn0w. After everything was done, it said "use the Recovery Fix or Jailbreak option". But to do that, the phone needs to be in DFU mode, but mine is stuck in recovery and it does not go into DFU mode! What the hell am I supposed to do?
