Well for a small part, my problem is solved. But the problem is still there, and very irritating.
After having tried around 40-50 times(yeah really boring) to restore in DFU, I managed to restore it. But after that, it jumped into recovery mode again(because I touched the screen?><), but I managed to restore it faster again, and now I've restored it already several times, after it jumped into recovery mode. But I can't work with it properly because after a restore, mostly at least 1 of the apps is defect and makes it jump into recovery again(or if i listen more that 2 minutes music or so). Really irritating and frustrating I thought that my problem was solved but it isn't any better, still can't use my phone. But gonna keep trying!

Flex Cable failure. The Flex Cable controls the data that passes through the port on bottom of the iphone. On that connector are several pins, some are input, some are output. On the inside of the flex cable behind that port are a series of micro surface mount resistors, which go into more down the line. If one fails you will not be able to sync.

You can see them on the connector in this post: http://www.modmyi.com/forums/general...-i-y-pics.html

For MOST of you it is just going to be stupid mistakes like not in DFU mode or having to use a different USB port. For the one's that have done everything possible and still can't restore...... you have a bad flex cable.

For the guy that got it to restore and then touched the screen and it kicked back into restore mode........ you have a hardware failure. (the Flex Cable)

You can use the tutorial I gave to try and make your phone work, or you can hand it over to me: http://www.modmyi.com/forums/iphone-...uff-money.html

DO NOT contact me until you have tried EVERYTHING listed up there to make it restore. If it still won't do it after the checklist, you are not getting information to the phone and that's when it is time to replace the flex cable. GOOD LUCK! (you'll need it)

@one1, well it jumped just automatically in restore mode the first time as i touched it. At the moment it's in restore-mode-only-mode again, so I am trying to get it restored again. But every time I try to work with it probably it jumps into restore mode again, so I guess you are right that it's an hardware failure.
I don't have any experience doing this stuff, but I live in the netherlands, so I don't know were you live, to repair it?
