iPhone DFU Mode on Unibody MBP running 10.5.7?

[Kahnyl]

I can't tell if my phone's in recovery or DFU? Is DFU possible on this machine/firmware?

 

[uanuglyfool]

prob not

Yea its something to do with the special 10.5.7 build for the unibody macbooks. Try using a USB hub or run windows in boot camp

you sure? im running 10.5.7 on my unibody mbp and mine recognized dfu mode perfectly.

is your screen black or do you get an itunes logo at the top?

10.5.7 fixed the DFU bug.

It was the special build of 10.5.6 that introduced unibodies and the DFU bug.

If your iPhone's screen is black, it's in DFU mode. If you see anything on the screen, it may be in Recovery.

I can confirm however that DFU mode is able to be used to restore my iPhone on a 13" MBP with 10.5.7.

Sweet. I didn't know it was fixed. My timing must be off on the 10 and 5 second counts. I'll keep trying since I now know it's not pointless.

Thanks.

i think its supposed to be 10 and 10 second counts im not sure.

as in you hold down the home and power button for 10 seconds than just the home for 10 seconds or until the little dialogue box in itunes appears

Yeah it works fine on my uMBP.

 

[Kahnyl]

Yeah I had the counts wrong. Don't know where I got 5 seconds from.

Worked fine.
