iPhone stuck on restore in progress

Give it a while just to be safe....I restored my iPhone once and it took about 6 minutes maybe less, I wasn't really counting. I would say that if it still appears frozen after 30 minutes, stop and try again or take it in to an Apple store. If the problem continues there you will get a new unit without any questions.
You disconnected before the actual restore process was complete? Why didn't you just wait a bit longer?Well I disconnected the phone from the USB and it then said "RESTORE COMPLETE" But now the phone won't get picked up by iTunes. What to do now..?
Not sure what your next steps are but good luck.
whatever you do. don't interrupt a restore. wait until however long it take. even hours. it could mess up your phone to no end. and if its messed your phone through iTunes id use jailbreak and iPhoneinterface then re-add the Sevices.plist file in the /System/Library/Lockdown. this should with work. it did for me.

Why did you even bother posting this? Folks like you tick me off royally - you had nothing useful or helpful to say, so why waste everyone's time by posting things that offer no help or anything productive? Get off the internet and get a life.
Restore of iPhone3G
Hello,
Could anybody help. I bought my iPhone in NY a month ago, went back to Norway and started to use my local simcard with Telenor. Everything worked very well. Then I got a a suggestion when I was doing syncronizing recommending an upgrade to 2.0 from 1.1.4. Unfortunately I did so, and now nothing works. iPhone asks for a ATT sim card. What should I do. Restore the phone? What procedure should I follow?
Regards

Hook up to iTunes and restore as a new phone, not from a backup. Just click restore and it will walk you through.
When I connect to iPhones I get message that "This Sim card inserted in this phone does not seems to be supported". The simcard I have in my iPhone is a norwegian simcard, should I use the AT&T card I got with the phone?
Regards
I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about this but I would think you use the ATT sim.
Tks. The problem is then that I been asked if am an existing AT&T wireless customer or if I am setting up a new account. I d'ont want either since I am resident in Norway where AT&T have no services. Consequently I am not able to acess ITUNE page where I can start the restore. Any suggestions?

If I'm understanding you properly, you have purchased an iPhone and taken it to a country that doesn't have iPhones currently but which was unlocked in some fashion and so was functional with your local service's SIM card. If this correct then unfortunately what you've done is take an illegal (to Apple's thinking) but functional unit and upgraded to a legal but non-functional unit. At this point you have a couple choices.
1) If you are a Mac user you can download the Dev Team's jailbreak/unlock software and it will allow you to unlock and activate your iPhone again with the non-AT&T SIM.
2) Find someone willing to do this for you.
Without unlocking your iPhone you have a very nice but expensive paperweight.
Next time someone gives you advice to do something to your iPhone that you don't fully understand I'd tell them to play with their own units. That's why I never jailbreak or unlock friend's phones. If I screw up I'm responsible for them not having a functional phone anymore.

Maybe the guy should have waited more han 15 mins to pull the plug. How inpatient is that? My restore took 2 hrs. 8 gigs takes some time
