Ok...This is what i did....I installed customize 2.0 and it crashed my phone....I was running firmware 1.1.1....That wasn't a problem....I knew how to fix it....So i loaded up Itunes and tried to load firmware 1.1.1 back on the phone once more but an error message came up. The error said "your iphone was unable to be updated" Now the phone is stuck at a screen that shows a disc with a music symbol over it and the wire that connects to the phone. That is the only scree i can access. Plus i cant connect to itunes anymore..

What can i do?

Hold both the top and home buttons for 30 seconds while the phone is plugged into the computer. I believe that will force the phone into restore mode.

Here is a link to the Apple site for more detailed instructions.

still, try doing what Binks mentioned. Sometimes if you put it in "DFU" mode (as it is called for whatever reason), iTunes will recognize it.

I tried that many times it just turns off and returns to the same screen.

this has happened to me a few times, i used ziphone. just open that up and look in the advanced options its gonna say normal mode, if you click it its gonna restart your phone in normal mode. or simply connect to ibrickr, and its gonna pick up its in dfu and will give you a link to reboot the phone. ive done both methods and they both worked. good luck
