[1.1.4][PwnageTool] Won't turn on after restoring Custom Firmware

**Nikos** · 07-12-2008 05:34 AM

Hey guys, I bought a 3G iPhone today, so I wanted to restore my old 8GB to give to my girlfriend.

It was unlocked with iLiberty+ (if I remember correctly) and had 1.1.4 installed. I decided to use Pwnage Tool because iTunes wanted me to update upon a restore, and I wasn't sure if I could still select the ispw file I wanted instead. I figured Pwnage Tool would have been easier.

I created an ISPW file from the 1.1.4 ISPW and clicked on the iPwner button. It seemed all was going well, then my phone shut off. Now it won't turn on no matter what I do.

Did I completely brick the phone? I sure hope not

Any and all help would be very much appreciated!

EDIT: I may have used the wrong ISPW file. I found a link that said it was for iphone/ipod. I'm not sure if there's a difference, but I just loaded it into Winpwn on my PC (used my Mac with PwnageTool earleir) and it says this:

"Recognized as:iPod1,1_1.1.4_4A102_Restore.ipsw Type: IPSW_iPod"

I just plugged the phone into the wall and it got warm, but still won't turn on.

I downloaded it from here: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/...d.php?p=336636

I know the site says ipod touch fans, but the guy clearly states ipod/iphone ipsw update so I assumed it would install the appropriate firmware for either device.

That guy should edit his post because it clearly says "this is the 1.1.4 ipod/iphone ipsw update/restore file'"

I wonder if I'll get lucky at the Apple store. Probably not because I just signed up or AT&T yesterday and never used it with this phone.
