Help! Any jailbreak (ios) experts?!?!
Long story short; my brothers phone broke so I was going to send him mine. It is jailbroken so I figured if I hit the reset all setting and blah blah blah option it would just restore it to factory settings. Nope. Now it's stuck in a bootloop. Has been for the last 8 hours.
What do I do?! Can I save it? |

you have to force the phone in to DFU mode then attached it your mac an install the latest software for the phone. There is tutorials on the web on how to do this.

Turn the phone off. (Press and hold down the lock button and home button for about 10 seconds)
Once it's off, press and hold just the home button, while doing that plug the phone into iTunes. You will see the apple logo, and 5-10 seconds later you will see a "connect to iTunes" logo. That's when you can let go of the home button, iTunes will say phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Restore and it should work. If you get any error messages post it here and I'll help with troubleshooting the error. |

If it has been unlocked by a carrier at one point in the past, it should be unlock for good. If it wasn't unlocked by a carrier but by a jailbreak tweak, then you'd probably need to jailbreak it to unlock again. |

Almost a month later....it worked! thanks guys!
He got a new phone already (because I was dragging ass) where can I sell this puppy and make a decent buck ($150-$200)? Are those cash for phone websites scams? Ebay? Or just plain ol'craigslist....or the classifieds on here maybe? Does anyone have any experience doing such? |

You have an iPhone but you "don't shop at apple stores". Interesting... My iPhone 5 is worth 279 bucks if I trade it in at apple. Seems better than selling it online (it has scratches and dents that people wouldn't like to have, but Apple doesn't care). It may be a deal for you to get better dollar on the phone for a new one, and then resell the phone as new somewhere for a little less than apple's price. If you're into that shit. |
