That is a bit odd if you are restoring to iPhone OS 4.0
Are you running iTunes 9.2?Please read the stickies & search forum before posting!

There is no problem running iTunes 9.2 with an iPhone that is already jailbroken with Spirit. The problems occur if you try and use Spirit to jailbreak an iPhone on a computer where iTunes 9.2 is already installed. This causes a bootloop on the iPhone.

Try to restore in Recovery mode or DFU Mode. Or may be your hosts file was altered, try to restore it to original state. Originally Posted by elvisonnss
