During the DFU mode the screen blinks several times? But then the process continues as it is. Is it normal or what? I stopped it the moment this happened and restored the previous iOS? Please help mate

try this, plug ipod unto computer and wait, it may take up to a day to finally read! if that doesn’t work turn off put in DFU mode and itunes should read it then, it will be in recovery mode, and you will have to restore it! hope this helps

hey guys. I’m pretty familiar with the jailbreak process, so as i’m jailbreaking my brother’s phone, something flew a red flag. During the “uploading second stage”, the phone turns back on. Apple logo and all. I’ve tried both releases for A4 devices on iOS 6 (0.9.15b1 and 0.19.15b2) and both have done this, on windows and on mac. Any suggestions?
