I'll try to make this clean and simple.I've jailbroken my phone in the past, but finally decided to go legit and run a unjailbroken phone for the past 6 months.
My phone was on the go phone plan back in the day but I was using it as an ipod since.
I decided to Pwnage my phone today (Phone was running firmware 1.1.3) Everything appeared to go fine and everything installed, until the reboot happened. My phone died and wouldn't turn back on and hasn't since 5pm today. Tried everything on this board and googled etc. Did the soft restore.. held Home buttone and on button. Prayed a little, etc.
Not sure what happened.
When I got home from work (where I did all of this)
I decided to connect the phone to see if "iNdependence" could do something about it: This is what happened:
iTunes opened up and I got this message

Than I checked iNdependence and noticed this: notice the status at the bottom.

all of this and my iphone still won't turn on/work.

Any suggestions? Thanks



UPDATE:
!@#$%^& I just realized that I installed the ipod firmware 1.1.4 onto my iphone. Gosh. How could I be so... O.k. So now the question is, how to I uninstall this ipod firmware and get the iphone firmware back on it.
Idiot! :(
 
Problem fixed.
From spinstorm:
I PWNED MY IPHONE/IPOD WITH THE WRONG FIRMWARE! ITUNES SAYS MY IPHONE IS AN IPOD (or vice versa) WHAT CAN I DO?

MY PHONE WON'T TURN ON! ITS REBOOTING CONSTANTLY! I HAVE CONSTANTLY SCROLLING TEXT! and ANY OTHER ISSUE WHERE PHONE IS NON RESPONSIVE

You can fix this!

Put your phone into DFU mode. You can do this by pressing and holding the sleep and home button for 10 seconds WHILST THE USB CABLE IS CONNECTED AND ITUNES RUNNING from when the Apple logo appears until it dissapears and then KEEP holding the home button but let go of the sleep button - the screen will stay off but iTunes will recognise the phone.

If you have trouble getting DFU mode use Independence/ iLiberty+ to put your phone into DFU mode!

If your phone is not recognised by Independence/ iLiberty+ you will have to manually put it in DFU - this CAN be tricky to time right but eventually you WILL get it!

Restore to apple original firmware and you can start over again!

Mods. You can either lock and delete this, or keep it open in case someone else falls under the same category as I did. Thanks
