dear all, this is the condition of my iphone:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEADjqhZ0TE

i connect it to itunes and it says that it is in recovery mode, so i press shift and restore, select the 1.1.4 firmware and then it gives me an error 20.

i have tried with all versions of itunes 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7

Iliberty+ does not recognise the phone (the go for it button is inactive) and hence i can't use it

what can i do? i am really worried and any help would be greatly valued. not to mention great kudos to anyone that can shed some light into this problem.

thanks !!

OK guys i have managed to restore to 1.1.4 after getting the iphone into DFU mode. But the problem now is that it is stuck in recovery mode and tried using iliberty+ and ziphone but it does not work

what shall i do now?

robsterino,

how am i supposed to put it into DFU when it keeps on turning off and on?

i will try again, and i know when your phone is in DFU mode, the screen is supposed to be blank, but my phone keeps restarting...

thanks

well I had something similar yesterday, it kept on rebooting ... in the end I just pressed the bower button for a very long time and suddenly it stopped rebooting.
Then I could get it in DFU mode

ok i got it into DFU mode, went into itunes and selected the 1.1.4 firmware and itunes did its stuff

then i got a 1015 error, which i beleive is normal.

now i can't seem to get it out of recovery mode! i tried using ziphone and iliberty+

please help me...i feel i am so close yet so far.

thanks again

However I encountered some flaws:
windows tutorial:
* uninstall iTunes 7.7, go to your windows documents music folder and delete it
* install iTunes 7.5
* put iPhone in DFU (power off, connect to pc, hold power and home for 10 seconds, release power)
* restore to 1.1.4
* keep itunes open
* use winpwn, press iPwner button, when finished go to iLiberty and kick out off recovery (apparently mine keeps on returning to recovery)
* use iTunes again to restore with custom made winpwn firmware

Thats how it worked for me ...

i just keep getting the error 20 when i do this method! anyone have a solution to this?

I had this same error 20 over and over again. I found my solution for error 20. I installed Itunes 7.6.2.9 which was giving me error 20. Deinstalled this version, reboot and installed 7.5.0.20 , iphone get's recognized in itunes and with shift restore I can now restore without the nasty error 20.

hope to help some of you.
