iPhone 3.0.1 Jailbreak stuck on “Waiting for Reboot”
Other | Doug | July 31, 2009 at 9:50 pmAfter looking through the comments on the iPhone 3.0.1 jailbreak and unlock post, it looks like many people appear to be having a problem where 
the redsn0w program is stuck on the “Waiting for Reboot” screen.
Here is a fix for this:
- Unplug your USB quickly and then plug it back in. Your iPhone will reboot and the jailbreaking process will continue.
Thanks to dococ for the tip!

I have the same problem with a Iphone 3G with iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw and redsn0w 0.72. Don’t work!!. Jailbreak stuck on “Waiting for Reboot”, i have tried a lot of times, in different USB ports, i also have tried unplugging USB. Please Help
Its based on the firmware. I been at it with over 20 phones because they were in the store I was working at. I used firmware iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore with redsn0w. It jail broke the phone and it asks you to put into recovery mode which is turning the phone off. then wait a few seconds , now while holding down the home button until after the apple appears and dissappears.
Lets see is they can figure this one out. I get all the way to the downloading jailbreak data screen and then i get stuck. what i gods green earth is going on at this point I wait 20 mins and still there and then it just shuts off and i still have a locked phone. Please someone help me.
I have the exact same problem. Sorry couldn’t help ya.
