HI pedroAA,


You should reboot your iphone by holding the home button and the power button about 15 seconds and later try to connect to itunes and restore it again.

I had to reinstall 3 times. After the 3rd time it was still frozen, but I unplugged everything and shut the phone off and took out the SIM card. I turned the phone on and it told me to put in the SIM card. I can at least make a phone call now, but am having a HUGE amount of other problems with my phone now. When I called AppleCare (4th time as of today) they told me there were no widespread problems with 3GS phones freezing up upon installing 6.1.1. Hmmm....do I really believe it????
