Isn't there also a way to keep the device in usb mode ? I managed this 
once or twice by pressing and holding the home key while booting, but 
as soon as I release the home key, it leaves usb mode.
And then if you press other keys like zoom, plus, minus, power shortly, 
still while holding the home key, you can relase all of them an it 
stays in usb mode forever.

bad idea : powering off the device while it's writting the flash "might" 
be a good way to brick it ...

or just use the -R flag of the tool ;)
