Ok, go into computer. Then go to C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc. There is a file that says hosts. Go to properties, and then security tab. Press the button that says edit and change everything to full control. Press ok, and open the hosts file with notepad. Delete everything that says apple in the file and save. Now, you should be able to restore.

Answer 2

Man your fine you need to calm down ill help you, You need to do a resore. The reason that you can connect to iTunes is because your iPhone cannot get "Fully Booted" This is because it is stuck in the Bootloader. Connect your Phone to the computer while its stuck on the bootloader hold HOME + SLEEP untill the screen goes black. Immideatly release HOME and just hold Sleep for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds Hold both HOME + POWER again for 10 Seconds. After 10 seconds Release Sleep and just hold Home for 15 seconds. Eventually your computer should recognize that your iPhone is in DFU mode and you will be able to restore.

IF by some chance that this dosnt work boot your iPhone out of DFU by holding HOME + POWER for around 10 seconds or untill you hear a beep on your computer. Then unplug your iPhone and try booting it. As soon as the Apple Bootloader comes up Plug your cord into your iPhone and hold HOME at the same time. This will boot into recovery mode. Try to recover from there

If by some chance these two options dont seem to work i have several others that might

Greenpois0n Fix First boot your iPhone on and plug it in the computer. Run Greenpois0n and then follow the exatct instructions to put your phone into DFU. Click jailbreak and let it run. Your phone should boot

Answer 3

First i think you need to correct the windows recognition of your iPhone which is a driver issue, do the following:

Connect your phone to PC
Once recognized as Camera, start the Device Manager
Right click the Camera detected and select properties
under the "Driver" tab click the update driver button
Next select "Browse my computer for driver software"
Next select the locations C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\
Click next and it should load the apple driver rather than the generic Camera driver

Next try to run GP to avoid a lengthy restore, if that fails then restore and run GP afterwards.

beacues when my pc detects the iphone when it´s on the boot logo, itunes didn´t do it, but whent it´s on dfu , itunes detect it but it send me that error message

Just to clarify, the iPhone is recognized differently when in different modes, you can see that the computer reports the iPhone with a diferent name when it goes in a diferent mode, if one of these mode drives is wrong then your restore and possible GP will fail to go through the process as it would be expecting a certain device driver to come in but never does, a camera is coming instead, hence the failure.
