I have a 3g Iphone that was jailbroken, I tried to do a restore and now it is stuck. I can't seem to get it in DFU mode or anything. Just stuck in recovery. Itunes gets about 3/4 done with it and then I get an error message.

Any ideas?

You hit erase all content and settings huh? You cant do that with a jailbroken iPhone, but you can fix it by restoring through iTunes. If you wanna keep whatever firmware youre on, then download that firmware, and in iTunes hold shift+restore and select the firmware from the browsing window. Make sure you do the shift+restore, otherwise youll upgrade the version and the baseband (unless your ok with that).

Actually no, it locked up while restoring in iTunes. Didn't hit erase all on the phone. iTunes still will not restore either.
