heard of the app called CHECKPOINTS? it’s an app that lets you scan item at any store. and when you scan you get points and coins the points go towards the redemption of many prizes ranging from gift cards to electronics. The coins you use for two mini games of which you also win points and once again yes you got it go towards your gifts. if your interested download the app for both ANDRIOD or IPHONE and enter a code: (lizbeth) without the parentheses that instantly give you 300 points.

[beatles2233]

THIS GUY IS TRYING TO FUCK EVERYONE OVER! THIS ERASES EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE OS! THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE IT IS TO PLUG IT IN TO A COMPUTER THAT YOU'VE SYNCED WITH BEFORE! DO NOT DO THIS!

[MrJoshhiee]

@beatles2233 Hence why it's called erase and reset your iPhone your complete fucking moron!

[davidpatrickwilson]

@MrJoshhiee there is no need for bad fucking language, wash your bloody foul mouth out with soap you fucking bastard

[b0rnprox]

@beatles2233 retard -.-

[antisocial82]

@warpig2717 how long did you have to wait for the reset to complete?

[warpig2717]

@antisocial82 i didnt i just did what elogueil said! :D

[coolioh101XOXO]

If u were to just click on reset all settings then would it keep the data???

[1bad9ner]

haha you i phone laggs

[elogueil]

@jayjay123465 : this will restore the phone to the factory setting with the latest software, accordingly if your phone was unlocked u will lose it but that is the only way. u can JB and unlock later

[mattyEFCwalsh]

I can't do this all it says is reset home screen. I have an I phone 3Gs & I hav took the sim out any ideas ppl

[MRWHITE3535]

@elogueil

The recovery method Doesn't work for my jailbreak iPhone any ideas?

[elogueil]

@MRWHITE3535 it should work normal , it has nothing to do with the jailbreak

[elogueil]

Respond to this video... has nothing to do with you are jailbroken or not, it should work normal

[Phanyneko]

Oh MY GOD !! :D thank you sooooooooooooooooo freaking much !! i was playing with my friends iphone so i HAD to fix it myself luckily thanks to u i did it !! X)

[tomwitloxx]

i did this to my iphone but after the loading i can only see the white apple!

that's for a day now or something, what should i do!?

[elogueil]

@tomwitloxx read my post on how to restore

[jayjay123465]

would the sim card still work when you reset it :P

[XEXMODzELITE]

@elogueil mine did that same exact thing so i followed your instructions and it worked thanks! (:

[saadpaki96]

@elogueil dude i had to delete all the data coz my dad wanted to take my iphone but its on the apple screen for bout 2/3 hours

[elogueil]

@saadpaki96 follow the steps highlighted above, it will restore everything back to factory setting but with the latest software so you will lose any unlock and will have to re-unlock

[saadpaki96]

@elogueil dont need to i sold my iphone

[elogueil]

Respond to this video... it will restore everything to factory setting but on latest software so u will lose the unlock if urs is unlocked

[GossipGirlihsSchool]

@elogueil this method did work. But after following the step it said that the phone did not support my Tmobile sim. So the glitch is that it does restore your Iphone but if it is jailbroken you will have to get it re-jailbroken.

[elogueil]

@GossipGirlihsSchool : exactly . you will have to re jailbreak and unlock

[elogueil]

Respond to this video... you will have to jailbreak and unlock again

[AbdullahDeyaa]

@elogueil thank you very much , u've fixed my problem =)

[AwesomPurpleAngel]

My iPod won't let me download games anymore, and they're asking for my security code, so I typed it down but it said that my security code is invalid, what I'm thinking right now, is to either reset it, or never download anymore apps. ):

[DTnoOB]

I was about to do it ...but...it said after 36 days...and I cant tell if its sarcasm since its all words D:
