iPhone iPhone 3G jailbreak problem

[xGaZiino]

I jailbreaked my iPhone 3G using redsn0w and i'm unsure of the details but it was jailbroken in an iPad format or something similar to that nature.
I was using iOS 4.2.1 at the time.

The phone was working for a while but recently, it crashed. I held down the power button to turn it off, but instead the black screen with the circular loop loading icon in the middle. I waited for an hour and it still didn't go away so i tried restoring my iPhone. When the restore was about to finish an error came up: I cant remember wording but it involved error 1015 and the phone went to restore mode (insert into itunes icon). Whenever i restart the phone it gets stuck at the apple logo loading screen. I have no idea what to from here on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What firmware were you trying to restore? Does the phone have iPad baseband? Try putting the phone in DFU mode and restore.

sorry im not to familiar with iphone software. im not sure what baseband to restore it to, and it doesnt really matter as long as it works (preferably the default baseband when first purchasing the phone). yes it has ipad baseband. ive tried restoring it through itunes before but i got the 1015 error, however that was always when the phone was off, i'll try doing it in dfu mode now.

i got the 1015 error again trying to restore in dfu mode

Create a NO_BB custom IPSW to restore with redsn0w or use sn0wbreeze.

The error 1015 is becaus you have a higher BB than the iOS firmware and it will error out on it.

Check iclarified.com for tutorials

ive got one more question - which ipsw would you recommend i use to create the custom no_bb ipsw off?

Whatever firmware you are trying to restore to, since you have a 3G, 4.2.1 is the newest firmware your phone will accept.

i cant restore the ipsw because i cant enter dfu mode. i hold down the power button, but when i start pressing the home button and power simultaneously, it just goes to restore mode. After the third try, instead of going into restore mode, it just goes to WTF mode.

Wtf

haha sorry if that confused you, basically i cant enter dfu mode, whenever i hold the home and power at the same time it just says usb connection problem
