I was at step 15 of the Redsn0w jailbreak process and it stayed on the waiting for reboot screen for a long time. I unplugged the iPhone and now it will not power on and iTunes does not recognize it. How can I fix an iPhone that is unresponsive after a failed jailbreak?

When Redsn0w is stuck on Waiting for Reboot, do not unplug the device. If you have already unplugged it and the iPhone is unresponsive, follow these steps to recover. 1. Force your iPhone into DFU mode by connecting it to your computer and holding the Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds, then releasing Power while holding Home until iTunes detects it. 2. Once detected, open Redsn0w, go to Extras, and click Select IPSW to manually point the software to your firmware file. 3. Use the Pwnd DFU option in the Extras menu. 4. After the device is in a Pwned DFU state, return to the main Redsn0w screen and click Jailbreak. Do not disconnect the cable until the process is completely finished on both the computer and the device. This happened because Redsn0w was interrupted while uploading the jailbreak, which often requires a manual DFU entry to fix.
