Hello,I'm not sure what happend. This morning my wife played Billiard on my iPhone and suddenly my iPhone does strange things. So I decided to reboot the iPhone. Now it hangs on the boot. I see the popup "Edit home screen" for around 1 second and after that I get the message "SIM Locked". After another 3 Seconds I see the Apple and the home screen again. When I tap on "Unlock" fast enough it loads the menu to enter my pin, but before I can type it, it crashs.As I wrote in the topic, the iPhone was not recognized by iTunes anymore, but ssh works. I resettet it with "Home / Power" several times, but without success.

Please help sad.gif


EDIT
Ok... I think I'm now on the right way..I reset the phone with Home / Sleep and when it reboots I pressed Home until I see the iTunes logo and the cable for restoring. Looks like I need to jailbreak it again *sigh*

EDIT Again
Wow... got it after a lot issues with Pwnage-Tool I downloaded ZiPhone and - runs smile.gif

Ok here's how I did it:
- Turn the iPhone off and remove it from the dock
- Put the iPhone back into the dock and press the Home button until you see the iTunes logo / or Steve if you used Pwnage-Tool before
- Launch iTunes and restore it to the original settings (it will download a 163MB file)
- Restore the iPhone
...
- - Turn the iPhone off and remove it from the dock
- Put the iPhone back into the dock and press the Home button until you see the iTunes logo
- Launch ZiPhone and quit iTunes (!)
- Click on Unlock, Jailbreak & Activate

That's it!
