    Exclamation VZW i4 jailbroken - iTunes can't recognize device

    Hey folks...need some help if possible. I used the Greenpois0n jailbreak method on my device. I also have a MacBook Pro and I'm trying to sync but iTunes is not recognizing my device and asking me to restore. I've tried rebooting the device plus uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I have also ran APTBackup to backup my Cydia apps. Is there a fix for iTunes to recognize my device. I've tried all ports as well. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Alright, a couple of questions:

    1) What are you seeing on the iPhone's screen as iTunes is asking you to restore the firmware?

    2) What error message are you getting in iTunes (like "iTunes has detected a phone in Recovery mode, etc.)?

    3) Have you synced and activated this phone with this copy of iTunes before? Have you been able to sync normally with this phone or other iDevices before this error starting springing up?

    The device is normal when the iTunes error appears. iTunes error is asking me to restore as the device can't be found. Synced fine pre-jailbreak.
