I was restoring my firmware and this error screen popped up



Then, the screen on the phone changed to this:



If you notice, there isn't an emergency call option.

I tried to do the hard reset, but to no avail, the screen still stays the same. If there is any information that anyone can offer, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Put your phone into DFU mode using the following steps
1. Plug your phone into iTunes (ignore the message that pops up)
2. Power the phone OFF
3. Hold power and home for EXACTLY 10 seconds
4. Release power (continue to hold home)
5. iTunes will recognize iphone in restore mode (you can let go of home now)
6. Hold shift and click Restore

So, I finally got the phone to go into the DFU mode. But, iTunes still won't recognize that it is plugged in. Although, the computer does. Already un-installed and then re-installed iTunes, but still no victory. Even tried to do a diagnostic test for the usb, but everything works fine. It seems that iTunes just doesn't want to recognize the phone. Any more ideas?

If iTunes doesn't pop up then the "ituneshelper" program isn't running for some reason. What you need to do is go into control panel, add/remove programs.. and delete the "apple mobile device" program. THEN reinstall itunes 8.0.2.

I just finished removing the amd and itunes. Restarted, and re-installed itunes. But, I just ran another diagnostic test in itunes, (while the device was plugged in), and it still keeps saying that there isn't an iphone/ipod connected. Any more ideas?

So, I got an idea to plug in my ipod to iTunes, and iTunes read it perfectly. So, does that mean that there is a problem with the phone itself?
