i jailbroke my iphone and decided to hit the reset all settings option and now my phone wont even turn back on its stuck at the silver apple screen and idk what to do please helppppp
 
i think there should be a big sticky on all iphone forums and sub forum that warn ppl the danger of factory reset judging by the amount of thread created when its selling time for outdated gen iphones
 
how do i do that the iphone is plugged into my computer with itunes up and it wont even show my phone on itunes
 
Hold down the sleep/power button and the home button for ten seconds, release the power button wait 12 seconds. Your iPhone will be in DFU mode. Ignore whatever the iPhone's screen does, once you're in DFU mode the iPhone will appear to be off. iTunes will then see the iPhone and prompt you to restore it.

Note: Getting into DFU mode is tricky. It may take you a few tries before you get there.

The problem is he didn’t do a reset; he did an erase all content.

OP, see my sig for a link that’ll show you how to get into DFU mode.
