Hi
I'm literally going crazy out of my mind right now...Long story short,I used to own an iphone before this gift and have tried Ziphone a bazillion times (straight from "itunes to usb emergency call screen" and no matter how many times i relocked it,it worked like a charm every single time i used it) but this time i truthfully believe i screwed up badly!!!!I've been given a 1st generation unlocked phone as a gift and tried to delete my friends contacts and what not and got a little impatient and tried the in- phone reset setting yet instantly realized after initiating it that if it rebooted my iphone would brick!so tried to close the phone in the middle of the reset process and the phone turned off and back on and all that there was on the screen was the USB TO ITUNES without the emergency call or whatever(which ive never seen cuz im used to the one with the emergency call thing).Before anything i decided to Ziphone it because it seemed to have worked before and i wasn't in the mood to research much(even though i've been working on this for literally 12 hours... :s) but obviously after booting Ziphone and trying to "unlock,activate n jailbreak" my iphone wasn't being recognized by Ziphone..so i decided ,stupid as it may seem,to connect to itunes and restore via the restore option on itunes...i was then asked to update firmware which i did and dloaded it and restored it...after the restore the phone went back to its normalish "emergency call usb to itunes screen with a lock on top of the screen"...so as of then i had a bricked phone with 2.2 firmware...so now that the emergency call screen came back on i decided to try Ziphone again but right after clicking the start unlocking button ,the phone went back to simply "the usb to itunes w/o emergency call" and automatically booted itunes with "itunes has noticed yor iphone is in restore mode bla bla" and basically im back where i started...

i tried pwn tooling it..yet my custom ipsw caused an error on itunes and didnt restore
i tried manually restoring it with 1.0.2 = error
1.1.1 = error
1.1.3 = error
1.1.4 = error
and finally 2.0 , 2.1 and obviously 2.2 worked but it only gave me back emergency call mode and reset to the other screen with usb to itunes automatically every time i tried Ziphone it...
anyways im going absolutely crazy right now and really think that i screwed up badly and that my iphone is permanently bricked..but there must be someone who can help me....PLLLEAASSSE ANYONE IM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP!!!!!!
is there any way to make it work again???!!!
ill do anything,try anything!!
THANKS AGAIN!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL!!!

You said 2.2 worked?


then restore again to 2.2 then quickpwn to activate and jailbreak it

well when i say worked i mean its locked but the emergency call screen is on but the phones useless....
and isn't quick pwn the same as pwn tooling but the pc version? i tried it on my mac but the restore file it created made an error when i tried restoring via itunes...
is quick pwn different? will it work no matter what? cuz i feel as if Apple really bricked it real good with the new update...
thanks again for your reply btw!! much appreciated!!!

Hi thx for the reply!!!

i followed the steps word for word and step by step yet 2 things happened which weren't shown in the procedure...

1) in the tutorial (iClarified - iPhone - How to Jailbreak Your iPhone With QuickPwn (Mac) [Updated 2.2]), STEP 8 shows how the computer automatically opens the file to restore which it didn't yet let me continue

2)STEP 13 the loading was stuck without progress and the iphone shut down and the following message popped up on itunes...

"an ipod has been detected,but it could not be identified properly.Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod,then try again.an unknown error has occurred (2001)"

any thought????
