I recently jailbroke my iPhone 4 using r3dsn0w and following this very simple tutorial on Redmond Pie

Unfortunately I found that the download links for r3dsn0w were broken in that article – at least the mac version link was. But a little bit of adventuring landed me here;

Home of a whole bunch of redsnow downloads for both mac and windows (be sure to get the latest version if, like me, you’re on the latest baseband)

The jailbreak in iphone 4 (4.3.3) is untethered, which is nice, although I still can’t install iDroid in iPhone 4 with iOS 4, but I guess I’ll just have to be patient for that – I know it’s a tough trick to pull off.

Okay, I took a few attempts to understand this, so I’ve typed it all out in a “For village idiots” style tutorial to hopefully help anybody having the problems I was having.

I’m trying to Jailbreak my new iPhone 3GS with the BlackRa1n Jailbreak application. But I keep getting stuck on the Connect to iTunes logo when the phone reboots. iTunes then tells me that the phone is in recovery mode and will need to be restored to factory default settings to make it work.

Want to know how to get past that connect to iTunes logo?
