    I attempted to jailbreak and didn't realize i needed to delete all three installation files. My phone is now continually trying to boot up and I can't seem to get it to turn off to do a restore. Any ideas?

    I tried the idea to virginize, but no luck, that is basically because I cannot shut it off properly and get it to recognize in itunes. I get an error that says Itunes could not reconnect to the iphone because an invalid response was received from the device. I should also say that I don't have a sim device in the phone as I don't have at+t service in my area to activate the phone.

    Hey Jim,

    You could try restoring your iPhone by putting it in the DFU mode as explained in that post.

    cheers!

    I finally did get the phone to go in to dfu mode and restored the phone....then I tried winpwn 2.5..it all seemed to work and then asi I put it in to dfu mode for the final step, I got a microsoft crash error....anyway, the phone is working, but haven't managed to jailbreak it. Not sure what method I should use I could try the earlier method, and then delete all of the mobile installation files and see if that works. What do you think?

    Hi

    As your instruction:
    * Download iPhone firmware 2.1 for iPhone 3g or download iPhone firmware 2.1 for 1st generation iPhone using this link.

    * Install iTunes 8.

    * Update iPhone with iTunes and make sure it is activated!

    * Uninstall iTunes 8.

    * Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support (From Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel)

    * Install itunes v7.7.* (http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/) <-- all versions of itunes are there.

    After I installed itunes v7.7.*, I plugged my iPhone 2G, it shows the message:

    " iPhone can not be used because it requires iTunes V8 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the lastest version of iTunes"

    Do you know why it's still showing this message, could I use v7.7.* to sync my Iphone ? Thanks.

    Tom

    I have a 1st gen iphone that was jailbroken & unlocked, all of a sudden it was stuck on the apple logo, i gave up on it & thought that i'll just let the battery drain, maybe it would go back to normal after it drains but months passed and it's still stuck on the apple logo, i started searching through the internet ways on how to fix it, all i found is restoring it. I restored it just now and i want to jailbreak it again so i can use my t-mobile sim, but it's stuck on the emergency screen, i can't even check the firmware, i tried dialing *3001#12345#* then pressed call but it didn't enter a field test mode. I don't know where to start. Do i still need an AT&T sim to start the jailbreaking process because itunes doesn't recognize the phone, it just says that i should put a simcard. Please help, i would greatly appreciate any info that could help me. Thanks.
