I am trying to restore it to 1.1.4 and have done it like a dozen times in the past . It used to boot nomally after the restore but this time its not coming up . All i can see is the apple logo which after a while turns into apple logo with spinning wheel. I have tried all the option:

Restore via itunes to 1.1.4

DFU mode via ziphone and then restore to 1.1.4

Try unlocking via ziphone ( even then the iphone doesnt boot up)

normal mode via ziphone ( no use still doesnt boot up ). This time it shows the DFU mode screen with the spinning wheel (this was a new one for me )

So basically i am so badly stuck and have run out of all the options at the moment. I am going insane

did u press the home button while the phone is booting. and try to downgrade to 1.1.1 or 1.0.2 but first try ibrickr its the best tool fot debugging the boot up

i didnt touch the phone when it was booting after restore. In the mean time i tried downloading the fresh firmware from itunes and try the restore and the phone did came to life but as soon as i unlocked it using ziphone the phone hung on the lock screen. When i did the hard boot (couldnt do the soft boot since the touch screen was hung) the same problem reappeared - apple logo with spinning wheel.
I am not trying my hands with ibrickr. During the dygnostic provided by ibrickr the screen turned red which according to ibrickr is normal if the phone is booting but the screen was stuck at that and nothing happening. I am so confused to why this is happening. Now i will try downgrading it to 1.0.2 and see if that is of any use

yea try to downgrade then revirginize it but if ibrickr is turning ur iphone red that means u have to wait until it will debug it try to wait longer if it didnt work good luck in downgrading

Have same problem. Cant restore any firmware as i get error message after a while and iPhone disaperas from iTunes..

Have tried dozens and dozens of times on 2 computers and a mac book. always same frustrating result.

Already considered to go to Apple store where i bought it last week. Any idea whether thats recommendable?

i havent gone through the entire thread.. but have gone through the first post..
i tried upgrading the firmware to 1.1.4 and it gave me an error. so i just applied all the locks on the iphone via ziphone.. and the unlocked it ... try doing it ..
hope it works..

When ever I time using ziphone, no matter what I pick it goes past the time it says to stop the process. I'm probably going to go to a apple store if i get some time to do it today since its kinda far.
