- First of all make sure you are using the proper IPSW file for your iOS device.

If you are using the proper firmware and running the app correctly, and you are still stuck, proceed with the following fixes:
- With redsn0w running, unplug your iPhone’s USB connection and plug it back in
- Unplug the USB cable from the computer and plug it into a different USB port that is closer to your computer (not a USB hub, keyboard, etc)
- Reboot your iPhone by holding down the Home and Power buttons for 30 seconds
The “waiting for reboot” message may also appear on the iPod touch and iPad too, troubleshooting the problem is the same.
