  • i got the same problem. anyone figure it out yet?

  • on itunes 7.5 i get this message: please connect iphone to a 7.7 or higher itunes version.... ok what now ...

  • The 1 I posted below is wrong

    You have to have it in DFU Mode where the iphone is completely blank and then itunes will detect it. recovery mode is incorrect, recovery mode is when you have the connect to itunes mode. To get your phone in DFU mode;

    1.first put your phone on

    2.Hold power button and return button untill phone goes off.

    3. once phone is blank stop holding power button, but keep holding the return button for 10seconds and then release it.

    4. Itunes will detect it.

    Enjoy!

  • OMG! Thank you, thank you! I am one of those idiots who upgraded to 2.o on an unlocked iphone. I have been trying to fix this problem for the last week. I must have wasted over 20 hours of my life until I finally found this video. You saved my iphone! Thanks again!

  • You need to hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time, count to 1 seconds and EXACTLY at 10 seconds, release the Sleep/Wake button. Hold the Home button for another 10 seconds and you should hear the Ba Dum sound from your iTunes. It should be completely black. And now you are in DFU mode.

    7. Now use the ZiPhone application to unlock your iPhone.

    i unlocked my SIM cards - AIRTEL(INDIA) and ETISALAT(DUBAI).

  • Follow this..

    1. Uninstall iTunes 7.7 and restart immediately.

    2. Install iTunes 7.5 and connect your iPhone.

    3. It will display a message sayin your iPhone requires iTunes 7.7. There is no need to do that. Just get your iPhone into DFU mode. To do that you need to hold the HOME and the 10 secs simultaneously and then release the button only.

    4. Your iPhone will then be recognised by the computer and iTunes 7.5.

    5. Holding down Shift click on Restore and then select the iPhone1.1.4restore.ipsw.
