it sounds to me like you bought it locked to a network and you now upgraded and lost the unlock. can you explain what you see on the iphone and what itunes is saying now?

 

[i_need_help]

it has the connect to itunes thing. but when i do plug it into itunes it says that its in recovery mode

 

[Gregoris]

use tiny umbrella to take it out of recovery mode

 

[i_need_help]

i tried to use tiny umbrella and exit recovery, it looks like it tries to reboot (twice) but just goes right back into recovery mode

If tinyUmbrella couldn't help, then a Hard restore is invoke here.

If you can find out/remember which firmware and/or baseband version your phone was on then you would be able to restore to that same version. Once the restore is done it would be a simple case of jailbreaking and installing ultrasnow...

how do i perform the hard restore??

 

[iGaz]

Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, choose your phone from the menu on the left and press restore...

i know the firm ware is 4.2.1 and i have no clue what the baseband is how do i find that out?

Sounds like you may of had the iPad baseband. You will need to create a custom ipsw with the iPad baseband on it for it to work...

What happened when you saying that it doesn't work? Itunes throwing out an error code? Restoration start but screen doesn't come on? What?
