How to restore my jailbroken iphone?
I tried to jail break my iPhone and cydia didn't finish installing because my computer sucks, and i can't restore it on the computer because there's an update, but because its jailbroken it won't let me update it will start and it will say error or something… What do i do
Have iTunes open on your computer and don't have the phone plugged in.
Step one:
hold down the lock button on the top of the phone for about 2 seconds then at the same time hold down the home button at the bottom.
This will make the screen be just black. This is the DFU recovery mode
Step two:
now its in DFU mode plug your phone into your computer do the recovery through iTunes. It will no longer give you an error.

The phone has a custom firmware, and I have no idea where or how to get the firmware to properly restore the phone to. Any ideas?
