I have an iPhone 3G I accidentally pressed delete all contents and reset setting. i have back up. the phone was on iOS4.1 The phone restarted with an apple log and a progress bar. After about an hour it restarted again with ONLY the apple log it's been in that state for the past 8 hours. Help me get my phone back
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1
It's not possible to restore without a backup. It also is not possible to re-install iOS4.1. The current signed version of iOS for the 3G is 4.2.1
How can I install the 4.2.1 on this iPhone?
Your phone was jailbroken, wasn't it?
I am not sure I bought it as a second hand. But is there a way of getting it to work again?
Try DFU Mode Restore. Here are the steps:
Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button. When iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, if iPhone screen is blank, black this is DFU Mode. Usually takes up to 20 more seconds of holding Home button. Restore the iPhone firmware. DFU Mode can be a bit tricky even for experienced users, so keep trying to get DFU Mode. Again it is Recovery Mode with the blank, black screen. If you have the iTunes screen this is not DFU Mode, keep trying.
Thanks brad805 I managed to get the DFU mode, but unfortunately I don't have an Internet connection at the moment. After firmware restoration what will be my next step? Thanks once again. I have hope now

Your phone was jailbroken.
You will have to go elsewhere to find help. You can't get any here.
