ok guys, this is what I did. I had a similar issue using quickpwn for my 3G 16gig. I jb'd it and put cydia & installer on it yesterday. Today when I downloaded the coverflow app from cydia I restarted after it was installed and the phone froze on the boot logo screen(little silver apple). It would stay stuck there for about 10 minutes then restart and do the same thing. I tried letting it sit and restarting but no luck. Tried plugging it into my PC, still no luck, itunes nor my computer would recognize that it was plugged in. I tried re-pwn'ing it and that didnt work either.
So long story short, if you can't figure anything else out, you can manually put your phone into restore mode. You'll lose all your info, but itunes will now recognize it.
*****EDIT***** I did this and it starts the restore process, then I get a windows allert saying that the USB device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it, then itunes says "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unkown error occurred (1604). So Im still stuck in the same boat only my screen is now the itunes logo with a USB sord pointing to it instead of the apple logo. HELP!!!
How to:
1. Turn your phone off.
2. Hold down the home button (and keep it held down)
3. Plug the phone into your computer with USB cable
4. Open itunes
5. After a few seconds the screen should show a usb cord connecting to an itunes logo (older phone will have a yellow triangle saying to connect to itunes.)
6. itunes will say it has found an iphone in recovery mode, would you like to restore it.
7. Restore.
Hope that helps
