Thank you for the response.

Yes I've done this a bunch of times. What normally happens is that it starts restoring in Itunes and fails. While in itunes when it is restoring iphone software, it hangs and my phone switches from apple logo with swirly thing back to linux penguin with iphonelinux.org

i suggest use a different PC then

ok now this is exacty what happens:

First, I do the DFU thing. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. I hold both buttons for 10 seconds, then I release the power button, after I keep the home button down a little bit, I hear the sound from the computer as if iphone is connected. on the bottom right of my computer screen it also pops up a yelow buble saying Apple DFU Recovery etc. I open iTunes, do the shift-restore. I select the custom ispw file, and it starts the restore process.

it starts with extracting the software and then it says preparing iphone for restore. the iphone shows the custom logo on the screen i selected when I was using winpwn. on the botton of the iphone screen, the circle thing is moving as if it is loading. then it says preparing iphone software for restore. then it says restoring iphone software and the bar fills up about %70 and stays there. this is where it all begins. the iphone screen still has the custom picture and the circle thing on the bottom is moving but then after waiting like that and the bar still at about %70, i hear the usb disconnect sound. the iphone switches to itunes and the usb cable screen and the itunes says verifying iphone software and stays like that. it doesn't freeze or anything. the bar has the green thing moving from left to right non stop but the phone shows that itunes + usb screen and nothing happens even if i wait 1 hour. and after some time the iphone screen goes to all black like it turned itself off




This is exactly what happens to me, found it on another forum.

Would the phone be going into lock mode during the restore by any chance. You can turn off lock mode in the settings, just a thought. Failing that I would try a different firmware file or try restoring to 1.1.4(but you don't say weather your phone is 2G or 3G) if 2G using Itunes 7.5 or just try uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it.

the phone doesnt even boot to the home screen. It goes right from ipwned with winpwn 2.5 to linux penguin recovery. It's a 2g iphone.

did u try a different PC?
