At least its seen that's good if you have ziphone pull it up and uncheck all the options and have it jailbreak and activate and see what happens

And you can't turn it on hmmm, what firmware do you have and what was the last thing you did before this happend?

fw 113 don't know what happend because someone gave me the iphone
i tried iphuc iplus but all they say is waiting for the iphone. iTunes see it as a ipod and independence sees it as a iphone in dfu. ibrick does not sse the iphone and itunes in windows only says it cannot restore the ipod because it can not be recognized

I tried that but get the 1600 error message
I tried to turn the iphone off but no result Every time it is in dfu mode
But because the screen stays black i cannot see what is on the iphone
Now i am gonna let the battery go empty and see what happens.

You are sure you are in DFU mode correctly?
Press POWER + HOME for 10 sec, than release POWER and keep HOME pressed for further 10 seconds and let iTunes recognize it. Shoudl work in any case.

I am sure the iphone is in dfu. When I connect to ziphone then it says i have to restore the iphone in itunes because it is in dfu. When I try iphuc it sees the iphone but says Waiting for the iphone and before that message iphone is in dfu how did you do that.
Problem is when i connect to itunes it says it has a ipod that needs to be restored?
Because i am on a mac i do option restore and choose any firmware 102 111 112 114 but every time the same message ipod cannot be restored becuase of unknown error 1600. When i try this on a windows i do not even get a change to use the shift restore button because there appears a message in a small window that says ipod cannot be restored because of unknown error 1600.
Independence all the versions recognize the iphone in dfu But with independence i cannot do anything. Ibrickr says there is no iphone connected please connect your iphone. Is it possible that ther is something wrong with the motherboard?
