Well.. 3g unlocked with pwnage, bricked.

Yup. I got bricked. Says "Iphone cannot make or receive calls, please get serviced" or some **** like that.

Was going to try and reinstall original firmware from itunes, but I can't even do that.


Any suggestions?

Also what's going to happen to me if I go to the apple store with this thing? Are they going to laugh in my face and I'm ****** now unless I want to shell out 500 bucks for a new iphone?

--Yes pretty much. Chances are you can save it, if you can enter DFU mode.

If that is what you see than you are not in DFU mode. DFU mode the screen should be black. It can be tricky sometimes to get it right.

Lol that's the custom restore logo from pawning it, you have that instead of the cable plugging into iTunes logo. It means you are now in either recovery or DFU mode. Option click restore and select the original firmware package to restore the phone.

[ohhoe]

I did. It wouldn't let me do that.

I'm in the hackint0sh IRC chat and they suggested I try restoring from my PC instead of my Mac so I'm giving that a shot now....

tried from the PC and still...

"The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604)"
