Not bricked. Just do the DFU procedure. It will shut off. Or hook up to iTunes and let iTunes handle it.

Put the phone into DFU mode and then do a restore in iTunes.

Exactly. It's impossible to brick your iPhone now adays, unless you cover it in cement, and well, shape it like a brick.

Then it will be an iBrick. 😉

So sick of the term "brick"...

You jailbreaked it?

No wonder your iPhone turned into a brick...




Now, if you jailbroke it, all would be well. DFU the iPhone and life is good.

Right, it is really hard if not impossible to brick the iPhone.


(I am familiar, however, with that deep pit in the stomach feeling you get when you think you've bricked it as nothing seems to be working).

It is possible to permanently brick the iPhone. It's just the only way to do it is waaaaayyy too complicated for the average persons to accomplish.

You need to know command line know-abouts in the iPhone scene, more specifically the baseband portion. Using the current available tools, its is *IMPOSSIBLE* to brick your phone.
