I bought a used iphone with cydia installed, i tried to remove cydia by going to Cydia --> Manage --> Cydia Installer --> Remove --> Confirm...

After the cydia app was gone, I tried to erase iPhone to turn it back to a new set. But now, the screen shows the Apple icon, then switches to an Apple/skull icon...an got stuck on a loop!

I then tried putting into recovery mode, went through the whole process to try to restore the phone. BUT, when it tried to verify the recovery, my itunes could not read the iPhone and went back to the previous loop!

PLEASE HELP!! IM GETTING REALLY DESPERATE HERE!! :(
Thanks
