i tried jailbreaking it again and after that its the same thing the silver apple still shows up what should i try to make the phone work again need help plz!

Drain the battery completely and recharge with phone off....turn phone on and try again..

below is a fix from UnLocker....thank you Unlocker

try and get back to the home screen and No panic! First you are not going to restore to older versions using this iTunes version (I assume you are using the latest).

Lets try some stuff first. For this you will be using the ORIGINAL firmware from Apple. The md5sum of it should be:

463e37446a342857737a1633470faf8d iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw

Just make sure your firmware is not corrupted before we start. If it is (if the md5sum is different), download a new copy!

FORCED DFU MODE

1) Now, plug the iPhone to the PC/Mac and wait for the apple logo to appear ( the iphone is starting to boot)
2) Press and hold home+power until it boots
3) Right after the boot, count to 5 (5 seconds) and let go the power button (keep holding home)
4) Now you are in DFU. Try to restore it.


FORCED RECOVERY MODE

1) Plug the iPhone to the PC/Mac and wait for the apple logo to appear ( the iphone is starting to boot)
2) Press and hold home+power until it boots and keep holding until you see the recovery message poping in the computer screen.
4) Try to restore it.


Let us know if it works.

POSTED IN ANOTHER THREAD

I recently received an iPhone 2G at 1.1.1 to unlock. It suddenly stopped seeing the carrier so i figured now was as good a time as any to upgrade. btw it had already been jb'ed and unlocked previously.

So i tried to run pwnage 2.2 and ipsw 2.0 and it froze at the bootneuter screen "flashing bootloader..." but iTunes saw the phone fine and ran a backup and restore data fine. but the phone iteslf was still stuck on the bn screen.

So I tried running a pwnage 3.1 with ipsw 3.0 and I got the same problem!

to make a long story short, I decided to run redsnow .8 with ipsw 3.0 (restore at 3.0) in the hopes of breaking this deadlock. The first run it got stuck at the apple logo screen. On the second run, it went into boonneuter and now it's stuck at the problem i first encountered!

I'll try your suggestion above. hope it works *please please*

sorry for being such a noob but a couple of questions:

1. where can i get the ORIGINAL version that you mentioned? do we downloadi it ahead of time? from where?

2. how do we check the md5checksum?

thanks!

i tried forced recovery mode. I was able to get a good version of ipsw 3.0 and rand the checksum and it turned up correct. But when i ran forced recovery mode I got error 23.

any suggestions?
