(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi all,

I am looking for some help as I have literally been trying all day with trying to get this iPhone back to normal!

Heres my problem,

I have an iPhone 3GS 16gb, I have jailbroken it using sn0wbreeze to ios 5 and activated without sim card. This seems like it worked fine, the phone will boot up normal.

I have the problem that every 5 minutes or so the phone will just seem to boot in an endless loop... Turning off, back on, showing the apple logo waiting about 2 minutes for the main swipe screen to show then repeating the process.

Any sim card I put into the phone is not recognized and the top left of the screen will say 'searching..'' regardless is there is a sim card inside.

There seems to be a massive problem here, I have even tryed to restore and update the phone once put into recovery/DFU mode however I will get an error code (1).

If I have missed anything or you wish to ask a question please do! I need in getting this phone to a normal iPhone firmware!!

Thanks

try this first:
To restore:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from your iPhone, but leave the other side connected to your Mac or PC
2. Launch iTunes
3. If your phone is on, press and hold down the Home and Sleep/Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the iPhone
4. Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
5. Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes informing you that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected.
6. RESTORE your phone to factory defaults.
