i know, what im saying is if when you turn it on, and it doesnt do ANYTHING they will probably just think that it just was something that went wrong when it was being built and they should give you a new one. its not like when you turn it on it says that y9ou used iactivator right?

Yea ture!
if i cant find a way to fix it b4 i go to Lasvegas.
il tell them when i charged it it did this...

because if i say, i sync'd it they wil think i have a att acount, if u get my drift

and then i will have to admit i use iativator!

so i hope this will work

also

I had the exact same issue. And all I had to do was :

1. Logout out and back into my machine (to make sure iTunes helper app started up again.)
2. Open iTunes
3. With iPhone connected via usb, press and hold the Power button and Home button for 15-20 seconds until the yellow triangle appears
4. Then in iTunes it was there and I could restore

Cheers,

i got the same problem and fix it. press home+sleep until you see an yelloy triangle on the iphone with text like "connect to itunes". you'll get the option on itunes to restore it to factory default ... etc

congrats on getting your phone back up and running! I know the feeling of thinking you broke it forever, however I dont think we have had a single BRICK here where the person never got it working again. :::knock on wood:::

Am I the first then to have a bricked phone? Had the same problems as Aron, but couldn't get phone running anymore. Have sent it back today.

Hey guys... I've had to take my iPhone back twice now. You DON'T need a receipt, they will pull all the information needed from their computers and your phone's serial number, or your name/phone number.

Yesterday my phone 'played' dead. The battery was mostly full from what I remember, and then the next time I picked it up to make a call it was completely unresponsive. Even plugging the phone in to the computer, or straight to the electrical socket had zero effect.

Today, however, I'm getting signs of life after plugging it into my computer. I got the same error message that you did from iTunes, and it appears that iTunes isn't syncing with the iPhone at all, but my phone is charging, and it is functioning at the moment.

I couldn't tell you why my phone is acting this way. I haven't put any stress on it, and I haven't tried to jailbreak it either. The only thing that I've done is added a dozen or so legal applications.

A few days ago my phone was stuck on the startup screen "apple logo" .. so I manually shut it down and did a force restore with iTunes. In the process I lost all my contacts b/c my backup was corrupt. Wonder why this happened, and if it's related.
