Hello all! I've got a major issue with my iPhone, well several actually, but the main one I'm confronted with right now is that it would not shut down.
To start from the beginning, I wanted to upgrade my jailbroken iOS from 4.1 to latest 6.0.1, so I first downloaded and installed it with iTunes. As expected, I was given the settings and activation stuff afterwards, so I moved along to jailbreaking it with redsn0w. I had found a tutorial saying it can be done by pointing the program to the earlier iOS 6.0, so downloaded that too. When I got to the part of entering DFU mode, I got stuck. I tried it like 50 times, but my device didn't want to enter it, the apple sign would just pop up after 2 seconds of holding power and home buttons and phone would start up again. After over an hour of doing it, at one point it showed me for a second the regular iphone menu, the icons' names were in Chinese and then the display switched back to the activation settings, but only this time, I could only select English as language, before it froze. And now I cannot shut the device down, because the power button has no effect, pressing the home button has no effect either, it only allows me to enable/disable VoiceOn, take screenshots and adjust the volume. Even the display wouldn't turn off anymore, it's been faintly lit up for over 4 hours now.
I know I wrote a lot, thought I should give all the details for you to understand the complexity of my problem. Could anyone help me out here with any ideas? I wouldn't want to wait 2-3 more days before battery runs out to try it again
