I followed all steps correctly... I end up at this screen all the time
WAITING FOR REBOOT.....
Problem is my phone already turns back on and it stays at that screen
Iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 using redsnow

Your phone says waiting for reboot? If your phone shows the apple logo before it installs the jailbreak then you are not performing the dfu steps correctly.

The computer says waiting for reboot

On the dfu thing im following the steps on screen and the program starts the jailbreak but my phone will restart while the computer stays at "waiting for reboot"

I would try another computer. I had a friend's computer get stuck somewhere similar (although it gave me an error) and basically I found out it didn't have enough RAM to finish the jailbreak. He had 2 gb but it just wasn't happening. I went to another computer and it worked fine. You should also make sure you are using the latest redsn0w as there was an update recently that fixed a few bugs. http://ihackmyi.com/...and-ipod-touch/

Yeah thats where i got the redsnow from but ill try it on my laptop and see how that works out

[brutal truth]

Yes. So it injects the limera1n exploit right? And then it says waiting for reboot in redsn0w but the phone is already done? What screen is the iPhone on? Give me a little step by step right before it messes up.

[iCROOK]

Yes injects lime rain.... Then stage one then stage two but when the screen says waiting for reboot my phone shows apple logo and turns back on... Cmputer screen stays on "waiting for reboot"

[brutal truth]

OK one thing I've found says that you could get to this error if you are using the wrong IPSW. Are you using the one for CDMA?

[iCROOK]

It injects limera1n and goes through stage one and two.... When screen shows waiting for reboot my phone shows apple logo and restarts.... Computer screen stays on waiting for reboot

I dont know

[brutal truth]

Are you already on 5.0.1 stock? Did it ask you to point to a IPSW?

[iCROOK]

Im on 5.0.1 stock from itunes

[brutal truth]

You may want to download the 5.0.1 CDMA from felixbruns and before you jailbreak go to extras and select IPSW and point to it. Some sites also suggest when you get the error unplug the cord and plug it back into another usb port (that sounds less likely to me but who knows).

[iCROOK]

Ok will try the ipsw

From what I've been seeing this is the fix. I'll cross my fingers.
