redsn0w commands in windows causing crashing of cmd prompt about iphone-dataprotection HOT 19 CLOSED

solved my own issue on this.

i rebooted the computer and went back to command prompt as administrator

i then entered full paths to file location rather than just file names even 
though they are all in the working directory.

i am now past this stage i get the OK but i am also getting a 

"error, no succesful firmware download after 6000ms!! giving up..."

at this point do i need usbmux in order to ssh or will it work without it?
i have tried to connect several times with no success..

greatfull for the help.

The error message "error, no succesful firmware download after 6000ms!! giving 
up..." is normal. If you see the OK on the screen, then you can run tcprelay.sh 
in a separate terminal window (under os x), or usbmuxd-python-client\relay.bat 
under windows.
Then you should be able to ssh into localhost:2222 (root/alpine).

well i have tried everything i can think of doing to get this usbmuxd to work 
and i cannot for any reason get this relay.bat to run
or even get the tcprelay to run in python

i have downloaded everything i can think of needing but must be missing a step 
somewhere

i run relay.bat in command prompt and get this result

c:\Python32\python.exe tcprelay.py -t 22:2222 5900:5900 1999:1999 1234:1234  
  file "tcprelay.py" , line 71
  print "incoming connectio to %d"%self.server.server_address[1]
                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


i copied the text directly from your relay.bat
http://code.google.com/p/iphone-dataprotection/source/browse/usbmuxd-python-clie
nt/relay.bat?r=3e6e6f047d7314e41dcc143ad52c67d3ee8c0859

into notepad and did a save as
and change name to relay.bat and changed filetype to allfiles.

i have also tried running tcprelay -t 22:2222 in python gui but it get 

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Ok, try installing python 2.6 instead of 3.2, looks like tcprelay is not 
compatible with python 3.

this is my result from command prompt after running the relay.bat file

i then try using winscp to connect
i use 
hostname    : localhost    
port number : 22     , have tried 2222 , 5900, 1999, 1234
user name   : root   , have tried blank and Root 
password    : alpine , have tried blank and Alpine

(i have tried all cominations of username and password)
i had no issues jailbreaking my ATV2 using root and alpine
which is the default apple set values from what i gathered.

and i keep getting

No Device found on all trials


is there something else i need to do that i have missed?

[deleted comment]

i have an after result question 

when i make a connection
what would be the ssh command to retrieve

- pictures
- contacts
- video's
- notes

i could care less about anything else i have.
 i had my main computer hard drive crap out which held all my everyting regarding my children and any outlook contact files
sadly for me i never made a backup of the contents.

i truely do appreciate your help.

for the "no device found error", is the ramdisk started with the OK displayed 
on screen ? you mentionned you use vmware, make sure that the usb device is not 
connected to the virtual machine instead of the host computer.
to recover files, once you have ssh access, you can run ./mount_partitions.sh 
and then you can access the data partition in /mnt2

yes. the OK on the iphone is displayed.
and the vmware is off and disabled.

i am able to see the phone in recovery mode in Itunes,
and the ramdisk loading runs fine to it.

do i need libusb? or is there anything else that i may need to configure?
should i run itunes when trying to connect to it?

possibility of a driver needed?

did you made any progress ? i don't know why the USB device would not show up 
once the ramdisk booted OK, maybe try using a different computer ? also, are 
there any error messages related to USB on the device screen ?

i am still having issues with getting into the phone 
i am able to get it to make a connection on port 1999 but it just hangs when it 
connects
i cannot get it to connect under port 22 or any other port.
i'm not sure why but i get this when it tries

i enter localhost and try different ports on the winscp and in putty and i get 
the same results no matter what in command prompt.

win scp tells me the 'server unexpectedly closed network connection.'

Looks like you inverted the ports for ssh, try changing 2222:22 to 22:2222 and 
connect with winscp to localhost:2222

that did it. i am in now :D 
thank you a million

i now get a permision denied when i run 
./mount_partitions.sh in putty

and i cannot see any files when i try to look in the mnt2 directry is winscp

is there a manual method to mounting partitions and then doing a entire folder 
copy in the command window for putty.

to fix the permission error run "chmod +x mount_partitions.sh", then retry 
"./mount_partitions.sh"
you should then be able to copy stuff from /mnt2 in winscp

i opened putty alongside of winscp and typed teh commands that were listed under
the mount_partitions.sh file individually into the ssh command window
and it seemed to have unlocked them, or made them accessible.

aside of a few of the files having copying issues  " statement that they do not 
exsist." it seems like everything is copying smoothly from the partition files.

thank you again for all the help.

i have and will recommend this to everyone i know for similar issues.

is there a donations system for paypal?

i am getting issues when trying to copy files still.
i get a permisions denied.
i ran the command you gave me in putty but i still get access
denied for files in hte mnt1 and mnt2 partitions

how can i get the demo_bruteforce.py to work on windows i copied the  scripts 
folder to the python26 dir and tried running it inside of that but i get
