I'm in a bit of a panic now. I have a Verizon iphone 4 on 4.2.6 firmware. I used the latest greenpoison to jailbreak it some time early last month. Everything went smoothly, there was nothing wrong. Fast forward to today. I received a message stating that the iphone could not connect to the network and I could not make or receive calls. It recommended I do a restore, and I thought, why not, since the 4.2.8 update was available. First I thought the update would take care of everything. I got an error message. So I thought I'd do a proper restore. No dice. It was stuck in the recovery screen. I googled my way through a field of error messages. 9, 13xx, 14, and so on. Finally, the phone is stuck on a screen showing a usb and the itunes logo. I get unknown error 21 when trying to recover by starting the TSS server in TinyUmbrella. I get the error 9 when trying to do so without it. When I try to enter DFU mode while connected to the PC, it just goes back to that usb and itunes logo. I'm at the end of my rope and could really use some help. I'm plainly a moron trying to do this stuff with only a half-assed understanding. At the very least, I'd like to get the phone into a state where I can take it to Verizon or Apple and make sure they don't find it jailbroken while fiddling around with it. The phone is insured by Verizon. I don't actually have any jailbroken apps, but the Cydia and Installer icons are there. If there's anything at all I can do, I'll give it a shot.

Presuming you're in recovery mode with the iTunes logo, make sure the USB cable is plugged in, hold down both buttons for 10 seconds (it should restart after about 5) and then keep holding down Home. Thanks for the reply. I edited the hosts file, then attempted to properly enter DFU mode. I made sure to kill ituneshelper in task manager beforehand, as I guess that's what kept disrupting my attempts previously. I'm pretty sure I entered DFU mode, as it looked like it was off and I started up itunes. It detected my iphone in recovery mode and the phone's screen stayed blank. I attempted to restore and it looked like things were progressing smoothly. It extracted the package, verified with apple, began the process of restoring. At around the time it said "Preparing the phone for recovery" the phone's screen turned on, showing the apple logo. A progress bar appeared underneath. It did not sync with the progress bar on itunes, and was quite a bit slower. At some point, the recovery failed again and I was left with an error number of 2009 and the screen once again on "connect to itunes". I'm going to try this on another computer and see if it makes any difference. EDIT: Success! itunes, apple, their wires and their devices... are apparently fickle beasts. This is my first time ever having an apple device, so it's all new to me. My desktop PC evidently has more solid USB ports than my laptop and things went rather smoothly. I'm now on 4.2.8, and evidently my carrier settings were also updated, which made the phone work again with calls. So, all that panic was for nothing, I guess. I'm wondering if the jailbreak was part of the problem at all. Do carrier updates and jailbroken iphones conflict in some major way? Well, I'm going to take a long break from jailbreaking either way.

Can Verizon determine if I had a jailbroken phone? I jailbroke mine out of curiosity a while back, on 4.2.6 firmware. Everything was fine until last week or so when the signal started dropping/fluctuating constantly and I got frequent No Service. I didn't actually do anything on my phone besides browse Cydia, so I'm led to believe the phone itself has a defect. In troubleshooting it, I updated the firmware to 4.2.8 and set it up as a new iphone. Everything worked swimmingly for a few days, and then it started acting up again. I'm thinking about calling Verizon and asking for a replacement. They'll want to look over the defective phone with a fine toothed comb, so can they find out somehow?
