I'm trying to restore a iPhone 3g I got that was jailbroken. I plugged it into itunes and hit restore and received the error 1015 that it could not be restored. I've tried using the tinyumbrella solution I believe I did it correctly but it did not work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Your iPhone is not bricked. Use RecBoot, it is an application that helps a lot. Here is a tutorial.
