I have managed to jailbreak my iPhone 3G on iOS 4.2.1 using Redsn0w RC18 on Windows 7. I got iPad baseband and Cydia running on my device. However, after restarting, the device failed to boot and now I am stuck at recovery mode screen with iTunes logo and USB symbol. I tried to put my iPhone in DFU mode then selected to restore settings but ended up in iTunes error. Please help. Thanks.

Step 1: Download Sn0wbreeze 2.2.1 for Windows from here.
Step 2: You will also need to download the stock iOS 4.2.1.
Step 3: Launch Sn0wbreeze, close the credits, and then Browse for the downloaded stock 4.2.1 IPSW.
Step 4: Once browsed, Select Simple Mode.
Step 5: Let Sn0wbreeze create a custom 4.2.1 IPSW.
Step 6: The new custom IPSW will be placed on the desktop once done.
Step 7: Follow the on-screen instruction to put your iPhone in Pwned DFU mode.
Step 8: Once in PWNED DFU, iTunes will automatically detect your iPhone in recovery mode.
Step 9: Hold the Shift button on your keyboard and then click on the Restore button in iTunes.
Step 10: Browse for the custom IPSW on your desktop.
Step 11: Now, all you have to do is wait till iTunes completely restore your iPhone to iOS 4.2.1.
Now, to unlock your iPhone, just simply follow this guide on how to unlock using Ultrasn0w 1.2.3.
