Me to had the same problem, you need to do Lockdown and change the file permission to 644, reboot ur iPhone.

This will fix ur problem.

I followed the directions exactly as posted and file permissions (all 3 files in the lockdown folder) were already set to 0644 but when I reboot my iPhone it brings me to the screen with the itunes and usb logo. Any suggestions or help?

Worked for me!

Thanks peaking!

Got it working today. After putting the Lockdown file onto the phone, you need to turn it off. Then turn it back on with your sim in and it should be fine.

Worked for me first time today... finally!!!

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode after putting the lockdown folder where peaking mentioned. I tried to restore it using itunes but even itunes is not detecting my phone now. Can someone please help me get out of this recovery mode and help me restore my iphone so I can try it one more time? Thanks in advance.

Hey gambit
I'm sorry to hear bout your problem. I'm no iPhone wizz by a long shot. I just got really lucky with this fix. If you phone is getting that connect to iTunes logo I would suggest getting it into DFU mode first then restore (note DFU mode is not the screen you're @ right now but a black screen). Again google is your friend with this. Once you have restored with custom FW and unlocked with original sim you should be able to access phone. If you then switch sim over to t mobile or whatever your using that's not an "official sim" and you get this "different sim detected" error install openssh via cydia, ssh into your phone and follow the posted directions. By following the posts it's obvious that this method has worked fir evrybody that's done it correctly. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I have no clue how to get into DFU mode but i'll google it and try to figure it out once I get home. Hopefully I can get it with original apple firmware so I can run the process again and hopefully it will work. I followed all the directions but after I rebooted by phone, it was on that screen. So will work on it tonight hopefully and keep you updated later on. Thanks again for the reply.

Ok I got into DFU and restored the iphone via itunes completely to factory settings and firmware 2.1. Than I used quickpwn with firmware 2.1 and bootloaders files (3.9 and 4.6) and installed that on the phone and worked fine but when I switched the sim, I got the error different sim detected (then I changed the sim back to the att sim and continued the following steps). Then I went into cydia and installed openssh and downloaded the lockdown file Peaking posted. I download winscp and used it to connect to the iphone (settings: my iphone IP, username root, password alpine, scp). Found the lockdown folder under directory /private/var/root/Library/ and deleted that folder. Then I copied the lockdown folder into the directory /private/var/root/Library (the one I downloaded from Rapidshare) and X'd out of winscp. Left my usb cable connected and rebooted iphone (held down home and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo came on then released both buttons. When I turned my phone back on, I'm back to the screen that has the ubs and itunes logo! Can someone tell me what the heck I did wrong?

Are you sure you are running a proper version of QuickPWN.

I downloaded the official one via Bit Torrent, as I wondered if I had a Rogue version....

Just an idea.

The one I downloaded was from bit torrent as well so I think it was the right one.
