Hi so long story short,

i have my friends iPhone, 1.0.2, its unlocked via an unknown method, he bought it unlocked. connected with independene, hit deactivate. i needed to deactivate and reactivate via independence because youtube wasnt working. so i hold home and power and follow the deactivation steps, but when it restarts the computer doesnt recocknize it, nor does the iphone. now the iphone wont connect to the computer at all and says please activate via itunes. it works if i plug it into power, it reckognizes that but it doesnt when i plug it into my computer, whereas mine does.

PLEASE helpppp

try connecting the phone to another usb port so it could regnize it...that sometimes works....

i tried..nothing..please help

can i do anything wiht the emergency code methods?

can i activate without a computer anyhow? why wont it connect? ughhhhh its not my iphone im so screwed

restart your mac, connect to another usb cable... doesnt work ?
try putting your iphone in recovery mode by holding home button + top button for 10 seconds, when the screen goes all dark (after 10 sec.) release top button, but keep holding home button, then, while holding, connect to your mac and run iTunes... it should work

trying that now...

OMG OMG OMG ok its in recovery mode, what do i do now?

restore to 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 the choice is up to you , itunes should recognize it if its in restore mode
