Thank you so much for this. My iPhone pretty much died about 3 weeks after jailbreaking. This tutorial helped me restore. After a wasted day dealing with Apple\'s proprietary BS, I can finally rest!

Help! I got to as far as step nine, and the message popped up saying \"and ipod was detected\". I tried opening iTunes but I don\'t see my iPhone showing. To make matter worse, now I can\'t even turn on my iPhone at all. Please let me know what\'s going on with my iPhone. Did I break it?

Hey what was your modem firmware? Do not try with 02.30.. firmware otherwise you will face difficulties. Open your i phone normally itunes connection screen will come and make restore Then try for jailbreak and unlock again Regards

I get as far as restoring the iphone on itunes, but after I select the customrestore package itunes says it cannot restore my phone. What can I do?

Hey, I keep getting to about step 9 but an error message pops up and says an iPod was detected but could not be found (not actually what it says, but that\'s pretty much it without the technical language), and asks me to reconnect my iPod, even though I\'m doing it with an iPhone 3G... Anyways, it\'s really bugging me because I\'ve tried pretty much everything I can, so, e-mail me: joeweston1015@hotmail.co.uk with any helpful comments!

Hey man, I get the same thing but if I pull out and reinsert my phone everything is cool except it tells me that I can\'t use my backup because the software is too old! It\'s not I backed up with the new software having been installed an running fine for 6 days. What if anything worked for you. At one point I had everything on the phone except I had \"no service\"! I\'m trying again.

DFU Loser - April 15, 2009 at 12:24am

i get this error message with iTunes 8.1.1 and have entered DFU mode with my iphone 3g. I have used the script and all that jazz with no help. What gives? For all of you in a similar situation: to get out of the DFU mode, hold the power and home buttons for 10 seconds and then press the power button. Below is my error message. HELP!
