Same here, it also got an error code of 1611 when Ifumes did a restore.

The screen will lit and it just sit there looking at you.

I never had used this Ifumes to update any Ipod/phone/touch, would that have anything to do with it?.

Many thanks.

Is there a way that this might help me unlock my 2G iphone which accidentally got updated to OSv3.1? I read someplace that the 2G might be revertable but I can't find how to do this. Basically, when I got a 3G iphone, I unlocked/jailbroke my 2G to use as an extra ipod. Now I can't use it without re-activating it with a live SIM, and even then it won't work without a live SIM in it. If I use your recover method and recover to a previous version of the OS, will that allow unlock/jailbreak? What OS is best for this?

Thanks!

My device always goes to iTunes recovery and never to forced recovery, is there an alternate way to do so?

i have the same situation, i've tried it so many times and it still go to iTunes recovery....any advise?

my 2g iphone stuck in force restore mode will not turn off, just turns on by itself automatically. is there a way i can fix my 2g? keep getting error 1011 when restoring

make sure that yr phone is connect to the pc when its completely off, does not matter wether itunes is on yr off.
NOW, keep pressing the HOME buttom approx 10 seconds untill you hear like a bell sound on the PC then let go the home bottum. NOW you should be in RECOVERY MODE and yr iphone will have just a blank screen.

To make sure, open itunes and it should tell you that this iphone is in recovery mode.

I hope this is cleared for everybody.

Ciao.
