Estimated time for iPhone 3GS Restoring?

So… Yeah. I was restoring my iPhone 3GS… In the screen I see this circle that seems to be loading… It has been like this over an hour now… I restored it vie device… General/Reset/Erase All… It has iOS 6.0.1 and it it jailbroken… My doubt is the next one: Is this normal? Or is there something wrong I'm not aware of? What should I do?

Give the phone a few hours, while it gathers it's wits.

  • Restoring/Deleting data on iPhone 3GS? Is there another, quicker way to restore the iPhone 3GS to factory settings? I've heard it can take 3-4 hours. If I delete all of my contacts, notes, pictures etc myself would this be enough?
  • Restoring an iPhone 3gs that has been jailbroken? I have recently bought a Blackberry however my old phone (iPhone 3GS) had been jailbroken so it was stuck on ios 3.1.2 and now I need to upgrade the software. I opened up itunes and tried to upgrade but it failed so I clicked restore and that failed as well. Now I have no access to my phone and the screen is a usb telling me to connect to itunes. I really need some advice. Is it possible to get my phone working again!
  • Jailbroken iPhone 3GS is now locked after restoring it? My sister forgot what she had changed her iPhone password so I restored it. Not realising updating the software would lock it. Her phone is now telling me that it can't be activated! What can I do?!
  • Is the FedEx Estimated Delivery accurate? I ordered an iPhone 4 yesterday and the shipping is supposed to be 24 hours, however the estimated delivery says it won't arrive until tomorrow. Is the estimated delivery accurate?
