I have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS, that I want to sell, and I therefor have had to clear all contents and re-jailbreak to a downgraded version, as I was having problem with the stability of the system.
However when I went to remove the jailbreak (cydia, redsnow), I read somewhere that I should remove all jailbroken apps before I did. Here I ****** up, as I tried to delete a jailbroken app I had from I think the sources tap, before I wanted to remove cydia. There came a warning that the system needed this app and would be unstable. I did it anyways, as couldn't think of another way of removing the app, and I thought it wasn't going to be a big deal. Cydia disagreed and crashed however and wasn't to be found afterwards as an app. The phone re-started again without problem, but I now couldn't deinstall Cydia as it was gone. It however still took up some GB of space on the phone.
I then tried to restore the phone to factory settings, but it didnt work.
I tried to re-jailbreak it, but when I got to the black screen with the rolling text, it ended with ERROR! AppleBCMWLAN: : handleIOKitBusyWatchdogTimeout ():Error, no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving up
I tried several times, and at one point iTunes gave me the possibility of restoring while updating to the newest software, which I did. However then I couldnt get passed the point of activation. iTunes could see the phone, but didnt get any info on it, and I couldnt do anything in iTunes.
I found out that it might be because it had iPad baseband. I then tried to downgrade from iPad baseband via redsnow, following it with a jailbreak.
When it was done, I got a message from redsnow that it was now tethered and that I should boot it or something, which I did.
It however didnt work, and now everytime I turn on the iphone, I still cant get through activation and now it restarts itself every few minutes.
Help! I dont know what I can do now. I have tried to re-jailbreak it a couple time both with a 6.0.1 and a 4..., but it is hard to do since it keep restarting while I try, so I have to be quick. It however have not change the situation.
Anyone out there got an idea for what to do?
What I really would like to do, is to format the phone, and totally clean it, and put new software on it. Is there anyway of doing that? Or anything else?
And as said iTunes can see the phone, but cant talk to it.
