I have a Iphone 2g which is running 2.2 and has been quickpwned for a couple of years now. It has always worked without issues.

Recently I tried to connect to itunes to sync up some new music and it wouldn't detect. I've tried different computers and different cables still no luck. My wife's 2g is detected immediately.

So I ssh'd into my iphone and ran dmesg. dmesg is clearly showing that the iphone is detecting the connection and disconnection of the usb cable.

I tried using bootneuter to flash the baseband and change the settings thinking that maybe that would overwrite whatever file is corrupted, but no luck. I've tried putting the phone into DFU mode and recovery mode, but no luck. So as it sits the phone works fine as long as I never want to sync it again. That sucks.

My most recent sync was in december.

I'm a linux guy so I was wondering if there is a way to ssh into the phone a modprobe it to get it working or if there is another way to spur the usb to action. If I can get it working once I can restore it and then I should be good.

Any help would be greatly appreceated.
thanks
Jason

your wife's iphone running same fw?
what itunes version do you have on the system?
What do you mean by "putting the phone into DFU and recovery mode, but no luck". ?

No luck putting in DFU/Recovery mode? or no luck restoring the firmware once it's in those mode ?

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate the help!

No actually, that's a good point. My wifes Phone is running 1.1.4

Itunes version 8.0.2.20 on Vista ultimate

My nomenclature could be wrong, that's why I included a general procedure.

by no luck I mean that my computer doesn't detect it once it's in DFU or recovery mode so I can't restore it. As far as the computer is concerned nothing has been connected. I ran the diagnositics in itunes and it states that "no iphone or ipod detected"

DFU mode as described by sleepers.net. Power and home for 10 seconds then release power continue holding home. Screen is blank, but the computer never indicates that it has detected a usb connection.

Recovery mode, Press home while powering on you get a screen that says connect to itunes, but the computer doesn't detect it.

You know if this post is in the wrong forum I'm happy to have it moved, but I don't know how to do that. Thanks again for the help,
Jason
