Jailbraked (redsn0w)Iphone4 locked after reset

[jonfoss]

Jailbroke my iphone4 with redsn0w and wanted to reset it as I was going to sell it. It was not unlocked.

Now it is locked with the apple logo screen. Tried restarting it, tried resetting it via Itunes without luck. Now it is completely locked.

Any advice? I'm desperat.

Using mac btw.

That's what always happens when you click the "Erase all Content" on a JB iphone.
You will need to restore it now.

How do I restore it when I can't get passed the logo screen?
When I try with Itunes it says my device is not eligble for restore.

Thanks btw

You plug it to itunes and hit restore.
If it still gives you problems put it in DFU mode.

I've tried Itunes with DFU mode, and get the same error each time. My device is not eligible for restore.

Any tips? This sucks

Its because your hosts file points to cydias server probably.
See if you can fix that or use another computer that you didnt run Tinyumbrella on to restore it.

No, if you never use TU and didnt edit your hosts it should let you restore.
I'd try restoring it on another computer if you can if it keeps giving you that error.

Are you restoring to 4.3.3 firmware or something older? If 4.3.3, tell use what it says in your host file (don't know where, google). If older firmware, do you do you have old SHSH files saved (don't know what they are, google)?
