Are you with your phone dead yet? the blank screen is the recovery mode. It's 
normal. I've reported this issue over the website. www.iphodroid.com/uninstall

Same thing happened to me...here is what worked for me...First I had iOS 4.0 
and used Pwnage 4.0 to jailbreak, then used R12...I wasnt getting the 
touchscreen to work so I was frustrated and just threw it in my bag...Went to 
go use it a few hours later and completely dead, screen wouldn't come on or 
anything...Here is what worked for me...

1. Plug your iPhone into your mac using USB cable
2. Open iTunes on your mac
3. Hold down the POWER and HOME buttons on the iPhone for 11 seconds (if it 
doesn't work the first time hold down for 15 seconds)
4. Let go of power button but keep holding the home button for however long it 
takes for iTunes to recognize your iPhone (took about 8 seconds for me)
5. Restore and start all over again...P.S. restore to the original iOS 4.0..my 
custom recovery file using pwnage wouldn't work

Hope it works

I had the exact same thing happen to me the blank white screen... it happens... 
you batery being dead is another issue... I'm pretty sure your phone should 
start charging when its plugged in to the wall.... if not... might have to swap 
batteries... or some how get yours charged... but I would find it useless that 
every time the iphone's battery hits 0% it doesn't work... good luck with this 
... just know the device does live...!!!

Your iPhone is not DEAD. Here the solution:

- open itunes
- hold the power button for about 5sec
- hold the home  button for about 10 sec (notice your're holding both then)
- release the power button and keep holding home until itunes detects the 
device (about 15 sec)
- when itunes detects, you're in DFU mode

obs: remember to connect over USB and all procedure above is in completely dark 
screen

@sergiomcfly... the thing is i got it correct... all i did was i opened a 
software named 1clickboot and then pressed home+power button for 6 secs n then 
left the power button n thn kept on holding the home button as u said... but i 
was really curious 2 use android... i used R12 and i was earlier running on iOs 
4... when i installed android it worked... but when i switched over to iOs 4 it 
showed the apple sign for a time n then white screen... may i know why did this 
happen as your site shows that its iOs 4 is compatible... may i know where was 
i wrong that the white screen came when i boot from my iOs...??? i want to know 
cuz im planning to install it again :P. by the way it was a bit slow... well

@shauryachopra14 two thing for you know:
- R12c is about to come out. follow me http://www.twitter.com/sergiomcfly. it 
will correct the WHITE SCREEN appearing instead of Recovery Logo

- As I announced, R13 is on the lab. It will be all the way over USB (no SSH 
needed anymore) http://twitter.com/sergiomcfly/status/17994247569

keep tuned! :-)

Booted into Android. iPhone died after half an hour. I can't charge it, start 
it, NOTHING. Now, I have an iBrick.

My iPhone is completely dead. Wall Charger, Mac and PC all don't work with it.

The power button does not work, so I can't go into DFU mode. I can't turn it on 
at all.

@joeytalia... yea i got the same prob. you know this is what android sucks 4 
... u noe they've told a lie... they say android is compatible with iOs 4 n 
they havent mentioned any battery issues etc. on their site. well same happened 
with me ... well i guess u have windows running ... download this 
http://www.sendspace.com/file/it2vpm and run the 1clickboot software then what 
you do is :
hold power and home buttons down for 6 seconds (there will be no chime on 
computer) then let go of power,continue holding home button until the computer 
makes the chime noise. AND VOILA! you get your iPhone in D.F.U. mode :) same 
happened with me and it worked ... well i copied down this frm here... if you 
dont get it.. watch this

@diegocrmd the white screen is the same as Recovery Mode (btw R12c fixed this). 
Use the white screen to uninstall IphoDroid, did you see this?

@diegocrmd... yea i know the biggest thing that sucks about iphodroid is that 
when we install it we can't use the iOs 4... but the website says that we can 
use iOs4 n android both on our iDevice but the thing is tht if we install 
android we HAVE TO use it... n iOs 4 stops working

fallow the same process as you would with 3.1.3 but update your restore and 
jailbreak with redsnow 0.9.5b5-5 and use ios4 ipsw not ios 4.0.1 then use 
iphodroid r12d and your done.

1. Connect it to the computer
2. Hold the power button for 5 sec
3. Continuing holding the power button and then press home button for 10 sec.
4. Keep holding the home button but release the power button .
And voila my thought to be bricked phone worked!

Ok! After installing iPhoDroid, my iPhone got totally dead! Pressing home 
button or pressing power button and pressing both of them simultaneously didn't 
worked at all. iPhone screen was totally black (displaying nothing at all). 
These instructions worked well (Thanks Senad.Pasalic)!

1. Connect it to the computer and run iTunes.
2. Continuing holding the power button and home button for 10 sec.
3. After 10 seconds keep holding the home button but release the power button.
4. iTunes will detect your iPhone in DFU mode.

If you have any questions, ping directly to me at http://twitter.com/BilalBhatti
