I'm not sure if this is a documented problem or not, but I just wanted to make people aware about this so they don't need to endure the stress I went through -- albeit was only for 15 minutes.

Keep in mind though, this doesn't happen all the time. My friends has the exact same iPhone, the same firmware, the same version of iTunes, the same operating system, used the same version of Winpwn and we jailbreaked it at the same time following the exact same process, I suffered a few minor inconveniences and he suffered none.

After the jailbreak everything appeared to be fine. I once heard that a problem after jailbreaking is that sometimes the iPhone doesn't detect SIM card. That was the first thing I checked and it appeared fine. I was happy. The jailbreak appeared to be a success.

So then I fired up iTunes and then received an error message: ""iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device"

I couldn't believe it. I honestly almost threw up when I thought I had bricked my iPhone.

After restarting iTunes/PC/iPhone to no avail, I deleted the iTunes Lockdown.

I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 64x, but I can translate the file structure for XP users.

Make sure you close iTunes before performing the operations below.

Vista

Navigate to

CUsers\%username%\AppData\Local - Delete anything Apple/iTunes related

CUsers\%username%\AppData\LocalLow - Delete anything Apple/iTunes related

CUsers\%username%\AppData\Roaming - Delete anything Apple/iTunes related


XP

CDocuments and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\ - Delete anything Apple/iTunes related

CDocuments and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Delete anything Apple/iTunes related

Note:
By doing the above process you understand that you are undertaking that operation at your own risk and fully aware the risks involved which may include but not limited to loss of data.


It might be an idea to back up the folders before you delete them.


The only other problem I suffered with jailbreaking, the thread can be found here.

So that was my first ever jailbreak experience. I have never used an apple product in my life before, bar an iPod shuffle I had over 3 years ago, I found the jailbreaking experience extremely easy. I booted into DFU first attempt and then Winpwn takes over and does the rest. In case you were wondering, I used this guide to help guide me through the process of jailbreaking.


Please don't suffer any delusions I'm an expert at this either. I haven't had my iPhone for even a week yet and my phone hasn't even been jailbroken for 24 hours yet. I still consider myself as noobish as they come and the only intent of this post is to help anybody unfortunate enough to find themselves in this situation.

I had the same problem. I bought an jailbreaking 3g 8gb iphone. When I tested the phone before I bought, I used the seller's t-mobile sim card with turbo sim card. It worked fine. I completely forgot to tested MY at&t sim card. After I went home, I insert my at&t sim card in and it didn't recognize my sim card. So I used the turbo sim card. It worked...for only that one time. Then, I used t-mobile sim card, it worked...for only that one time. After that, I tried my at&t sim card for many occasions and the phone didn't even pop up at&t symbol, which it didn't recognize the sim card. I'm not familiar with all that computer's software. So can you please walk me step by step to help me fix the problem? I have a vista window.
