Bricked My iPhone please help

[speedemonV12]

Im pretty sure that i bricked my iphone

I was using this guide here
http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Get...e_Modding_OS_X

and downloaded the restore package, and iNdependence, and hit the jailbreak button... it jailbreaked. Said jailbreak successfull, and then 10 seconds later it said some sort of an error.

I restarted my iphone. But it took 5 minutes for the phone to boot up. Once it did, everything runs really slow. like 1 min after i click on something, it pops up. So i connect to computer, open independence, and cant connect.

i open up iTunes, i get this error

iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000023).

please help me
i did a clean restore before trying the hack, and i synced, so i have everything backed up but i cant connect.. what do i do ...

PLEASE!!!!

I would try restoring again, first of all - by obviously holding the Home and Sleep buttons for 25 seconds and then letting iTunes restore it.

that does not work... when i hold those two, it turns off, then apple logo comes up , then turns off, then apple logo comes up, then turns off, and just stays off no matter how long i hold it


please i cannot live without this, and my parents would kill me if its screwed

Sounds like youre screwed. You didnt restore the iPhone using iTunes 4.3 did you? I'm guessing you also didn't use the newest version of iTunes or INdependence or something?

See if you can return or exchange it from wherever you bought it.

[speedemonV12]

i did the restore and backup with itunes 7.4, i used the newest version of all the software

am i completely screwed?

It sounds like you are. What state is your iPhone in now?

You could give some details in case someone else has a problem like this.

[muncle]

Good to know it got fixed.

I agree with above poster - you should explain what you did, because I got a feeling there's going to be a bunch more people with the same problem
