  Hi,
  I tried but there’s an “unknown error” occurred. I guess I have to try another firmware but any other suggestions if that didn’t work? Thanks.

  Referring to the latest post (item 22), i can’t seem to able to find a “refurbish” button in the ziphone 3.0 version. I do have a “bricked phone” and has been trying to fix it. I was delighted to see this post only to find that the info isn’t quite accurate. I have downloaded the ziphone 3.0 version for windows/

  Who can tell me what’s wrong?

  Hi Pavani, I think your iPhone has be bricked. But I am not sure. If you are in any of the Metro cities in India, please go to one of these electronics market and see if there are any iPhone restorers available. They might charge around Rs.1000 and get your phone back to life.

  Or you could try this proceedure again. Make sure that you have the start itunes and connect the phone to your computer via the usb cord. And then follow these steps again:

  1. Download Ziphone software from this address – http://www.ziphone.org/
  2. Install ZiPhone 3.X and then launch it
  3. Hit the “Refurbish” button. You might get pairing error. Ignore that.
  4. Once thats done. Hit “Do it All” button.

  Let me know if this works for you.

  You will have restore and jailbreak it again Niki. Do this:

  1. Update your iPhone to 1.1.4 through iTunes.
  2. Install ZiPhone 3.X and then launch it
  3. Hit the Refurbish button. You might get pairing error. Ignore that.
  4. Once thats done. Hit “Do it All” button.

  You should be done. And everything should work fine.

  hi,
  you don’t have to follow this method anymore. ZIPHONE software can be dowloaded by following the link “unlock any iPhone” on top of this website.

  Just follow the steps in that page n restore/unlock any version of iphone. Even bricked iPhones can be unlocked now

  I dont know what I did wrong with the step but now my phone doesnt make phone call or login to Edge. Can anyone help me how to restore this phone. All other functions still working.

  Hey Tnnguyen3,
  I think this is because your iPhone has a later version of 1.0.2 or above. In your case, you will have to switch off your phone and then hold home button and at the same time connect the phone to the dock or USB cord. Keep holding iphone’s home button. In 5-10 seconds, you will see the image of USB cord and iTunes on iPhone screen. You can leave the home button now.

  Now, iTunes will prompt a message that says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Click OK.

  And continue with step 7. Let me know if you are still facing this issue.

  Hello,

  I have an iphone that previously hack with jailbreak. But I used full ATT activation plan though. The only thing I added are applications like games and IM etc. Now it is still currently on the 1.0.2 firmware stage. How do you safely turn back to factory restore. I am trying the step above however, when holding Home button after awhile more then 10-20s still nothing show up? Can anyone here suggested what are some of the solution to this restore to factory stage.

  thanks

  Hey Dechef8,
  Did you switch off the phone?
  Switch off the phone by holding the home button and power button for 10 sec and you will see a slider called “switch off”. Slide that and your phone will switch off.

  Once the phone is switched off, press the home button for 10-20 seconds. You will see the itunes icon and usb cord jack. Then proceed.

  Let me know if you are able to do this.

  Hi Double Tap,
  Yes your phone will go back to factory settings completely. But if you sync your iphone once before restoring, everything will be recorded in your iTunes.

  The only thing you would have to do after restoring your phone would be to re-sync your iphone and iTunes will restore everything you had in the iphone. From smss to contact lists, ipod tracks, notes etc. And your phone will be restored to the previous state once again.
