I currently have an iPhone 4 Verizon that I believe is on 4.2.9 or 4.2.10. It shows with Tiny Umbrella iPhone4CDMA 4.2.10 (8E600)-3879313118606 and iPhone4CDMA 4.2.9 (8E501)-3879313118606. Unsure which, since I can’t load the phone.
I used the JailBreakMe.com, I went to Restore phone to remove the JailBreak. Kept receiving errors, unable to connect to device when the Apple sign came up during restore and iPhone was being prepared with the little loading bar that wasn’t filling up. Eventually I tried Tiny Umbrella and it got Stuck in DFU.
Now I am unable to Exit Recovery/DFU mode with or without Tiny Umbrella. While using Umbrella’s Fix Recovery option, it loads a black screen with a lot of coding and just stays there or goes to a white screen and stays there.
Any detailed steps would be very much appreciated.

October 14, 2011You can try to enter the normal DFU mode right after using the “Fix Recovery” option
1. open iTunes
2. use the “Fix Recovery” option in Tiny Umbrella
3. immediately press and hold Sleep/Power and Home button for 10 seconds
4. release the Sleep/Power button but keep Home pressed
If it worked the iPhones screen should be black and iTunes should tell you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
At this point it us up to you what you want to do.
My personal suggestion is to go back to vanilla iOS by removing the Tiny Umbrella or any other Jailbreak hosts file entries and do a regular restore via iTunes.
If you attempt another jailbreak I suggest to carefully read about supported devices and firmwares because JailbreakMe only supports iPhone 4 CDMA 4.2.6-4.2.8 ~ none of which you listed for your iPhone.

October 15, 2011Did you try restarting the phone and holding the power button for some time?
If Itunes can detect your phone, then you can restore it.
Download a firmware from the link below and restore.

Connect your iPhone to PC,hold down power and home button together for 15 seconds and then hold only home button for 10 seconds.iTunes will detect your phone and will start the recovery process.
