Forum Smartphones & PDAs : iPhone Iphone 4 not detected on itunes after jailbreak unable to restore

If Someone could please help, I would really appreciate it very much. I Have a Iphone 4 S and i did a jailbreak with Snowbreeze. What Happens is that my iphone with 5.0,1 ipsw is not detected in recovery mode by itunes, or my computer it says that their is a error with the USB driver. i have put it in recovery mode several times switched USB PORTS, And still it is not detected. it boots then freezes. and after a few minutes restarts on the start screen. I gave this phone to my wife. but forgot about the jailbreak. she let it die, and by then i did a complete reformat. i have tryed deleting itunes. and installing itunes 7.5 and still not detected. but when i connect a different iphone it gets detected. i hate to give up on something i been working for so long.

i have also tryed different computers.and still nothing . i think the jailbreak ruined it . no matter what i do the phone is not detected. if someone someone HELPS i will thank them very much. last time i ever jailbreak.

Well the phone worked with it. but now its unable to detect , so can not do a restore. i tryed pointing to the usb drivers and dfu drivers and still phone not detected. i been working on it for a while now. if i can just get it to detect on my computer.

Try a factory reset and then google absinthe jailbreak and download the latest version, which is .4. mine detects perfectly on itunes, wifi and plugged in. i have the 4s as well.
