that's not true. the "tethered jailbreak" is on the newer version of the itouch, not any version of the iphone. once you jailbreak the iphone with blackra1n, you don't need blackra1n anymore.

A+, if you run into a situation like this again, try holding the "home" and the "power" buttons at the same time until it restarts. a lot of times, that will clear out the "recovery mode" situation. are you running blackra1n or purplerain to jailbreak? honestly, i haven't even tried the purplerain jailbreak, but the blackra1n jailbreak is as simple as it gets...and it doesn't matter what version of itunes that you have, because the jailbreak doesn't use itunes. (blackra1n)

turns out we had old versions of iTunes. The phone is fully restored now but it took her WAY back........yeah, shes pissed. Scared the shit out of me. I thought i bricked it. FYI, i dont think purplerain works.
