Note: Although the reason for the 2.0.1 caused crash is unsure, it was probably a result of my iTunes not being up to date. I had not yet updated to 7.7.1.
- Disconnect your iPhone from the USB chord (no need to "eject'' in iTunes because the error automatically kicks your iPhone off)
- Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button for 10 to 20 seconds. You will see a white light flash. The screen will shut off. Continue holding the buttons until the screen turns back on.
- At this point, your screen will display the "Connect to iTunes" text.
- Leave your phone alone - and please make sure it's not connected to your computer.
- Close iTunes and all other programs running on your computer, it's important.
- Uninstall (via Control Panel) "Apple Software Update" and "Apple Mobile Device Support"
- After you uninstalled the two above programs, uninstall "Quick Time" and then "iTunes".
- Now Reboot/Restart your computer
- Make sure you have no "QuickTime" or iTunes" folders left anywhere on your computer. If you're using a PC, go to C>>Program Files, and search for "iTunes" or "QuickTime". Delete the blank folder.
- Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and download iTunes.
- Run the installation of iTunes and QuickTime.
- Now iTune is fully installed in your computer, open iTunes and connect your iPhone.
- You will get a pop-up notifying you that you "must restore your iPhone".
- Press restore.
- Allow ample time for your iPhone to restore.
- Once the first restore is complete, iTunes will ask you whether you want to restore from a back up or treat it as a new phone.
- Hopefully you have backed up your iPhone, otherwise you will lose all contacts, music, video, photos, and apps.
Yo! Your iPhone is back to life.
Note: If you have not yet updated to 2.0.1, it is extremely important to make sure you have iTunes 7.7.1 first. To check, open iTunes and go to Help >> About iTunes. Update if necessary.
HappY SurfinG!!! (:
