Thanks to both Applejuiced and SethRogan, I had the same problem. I am planning on selling my 3g as well and thought "oh hey let me try that remote wipe thing" Lesson learned, don't play with Remote Wipe unless the phone is really gone.

After the remote wipe i ended up with a brick that would only show the Apple Logo for a few seconds and wasn't being recognized by iTunes.

After the DFU trick i am restoring, thanks again guys!
