I finally got it to restore but now since I already cut down my Mexican SIM card to fit my 4G I have no SIM to activate. All my iphone says it is capable of emergency calls only and iTunes says to insert a SIM card to go further. Any suggestions?
Thanks again

So I know it's kinda late, but....
I'm selling my old jailbroken iPhone 3GS, so I decided to erase all the data. It went to the apple loading screen and stayed like that for hours. It ran out of charge when I had to use the plug for something else. Now, whenever I try to do anything with it, it swaps between the loading and charging screen, and I can't really do anything with it. Any help?

Hi, My iphone 3g got stuck on apple logo after my girlfriend hit the rest button. I followed your suggestion but it won't work. iTunes won't detect anything as I plug it on my netbook. Please, I hope you can help me with this.

Sounds like an Apple Store visit is in order if trying a different USB port makes no difference.
