Put you phone into restore mode if you havnt already.

Hold home and sleep for about 25s.

Already did that.

Well, i finally restored the iPhone. I restarted the AppleMobileDevice service and it worked.

Now, it is unactivated.

iBrickr can't find the Phone now.

Any ideas?

THX IN ADVANCE.

In Windows you right click on My Computer, select manage.

Then select services and you should see it listed on the right hand side. Right click on it and select restart.

Ok, my iPhone was recognized by iBrickr. A simple PC restart did the trick.
I activated the phone (and you tube) using the "point and click activation".

Now i'm looking forward to unlock the phone. I think i'll wait until the IPSF soap opera concludes.

In Windows Vista, start Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+SUPR and select "Start Task Manager"), once there go to the "Services" tab and click the "Services" button at the bottom. UAC should appear, click continue.
Locate the service "Apple Mobile Device", select it and click "Restart the service".

Hope that helps.
