- Why can't I restore my jailbroken iPhone 4? I jailbroke my iphone 4 using redsn0w 0.9.10.b6. This was a semi tethered jailbreak and i have turned my phone on and off.

The phone has a custom firmware, and I have no idea where or how to get the firmware to properly restore the phone to. Any ideas?
