While downgrading from 1.1.3 my phone suddenly went to the apple screen and then "wording" started to scroll and that's been the case for 40 minutes and I cannot get it back.

Any suggestions? I'm f@@ked

did you try putting it in recovery mode and if its doing that while being downgraded leave it if not then hold the home and sleep wake button until the screen dissapears then let go of the sleep/wake button as soon as that happens

umm i dont know what to say ibrickr well is self explanatory and i used that program and almost bricked my phone the only thing i can say is plug it in and open ibricker and leave it for awhile maybe it will kick it out of it

iBrickr can't find it
 
held on button and power for a good 30 seconds while plugged in and it seems to be restoring - wooh..now do i attempt to JB once again?!?!
 
idemocracy is used but so far it has nothing to do with firmware 1.1.3 but other than that its awesome 😀 plus look around maybe you can find one
 
All of this DRAMA and you simply didn't hold the buttons 'long enough' to enter DFU Mode?!

Thanks for sharing your harrowing experience with us. 😉
 
thanks polish.

and yeah I didn't realize you needed to hold them for 30 seconds!>!

but I'm a dope and thought this was shot
