I used Winpwn to try and jailbreak my 16gb iPhone 3G so I could use Installer and Cydia again and after the ispw firmware file was built I clicked on it to install it with iTunes and got this error message in iTunes:

iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because "an invalid response was received from the device"

I previously attempted to jailbreak with quickpwn and found that the custom Winpwn bootloader came up but Cydia and Installer did not show at all so I tried the default Custom option of Winpwn instead.

Is there any way for me to fully reset my iPhone without the use of iTunes? I really need to have my phone be able to sync with iTunes so any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks, JMEPO.

Delete the Lockdown folder. Open iTunes.


- Windows XP:
CDocuments and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes or CDocuments and Settings\USER0\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes

- Windows Vista:
CUsers\USER\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\ or CUsers\USERS\AppData\Apple Computer\iTunes

In XP the mentioned folder is a hidden one...

Set your folder options to display hidden system files and folders...

That way the folder...though greyed out..will became visible...

Goodluck !!!

Cheers...
