Hi,
I bought my Iphone 4.0.1 off ebay after my previous Iphone 3gs had been stolen. This new phone had been jailbroken and was on tmobile contract. I am with Vodafone so I got a shop to unlock the phone and I could then use it on my vodaphone contract.
I then tried to sync with itunes so I could transfer all my apps and got a message saying that my vodafone sim card was invalid. I was then told I needed to "un-jailbreak" my phone so I tried to do this by following the instructions of holding the power and start buttons down whilst connected to itunes and then followed the restore instructions.
I am sure you all know what happened next, sadly I wish I had known too!!
Yes I have ended up with an emergency calls only screen with a picture showing the usb apart from the itunes logo.
Presumably this means I have locked the phone again? I have spent all day going through various videos trying to unlock the phone or get out of the "recovery screen" if that is what it is. I have downloaded "blackrain" and other software I have never heard of and seem to just be going around in circles.
Can anybody identify my problem and give out very clear "idiot proof" instructions to help me get the phone working again please.
Thank you
