^ That's true. Is it plugged in when it shuts off?

Edit: Nvm, just read his last post. I was in the middle of posting this. Then I agree with cpjr, it would probably be hardware.

You said in the first post that it "wasnt working well" and the "sound wasnt working"

EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.

Cause I think your having a HARDWARE issue.

Itunes WONT activate the phone without an ATT simcard in it.

[biggymac609]

the sound wasnt working, which forced me to restore

now after much avail i restored, but it turns on, goes to emergency call screen, then shuts off right away

if its a hardware problem what can i do about it?

[biggymac609]

i dont want itunes to activate, i want to unlock it

btw, i never mentioned, it is 1st gen

[cpjr]

We know its a first-gen because of your previous FW version.

And I guess you could restore again, but if it still shuts off by itself....its hardware and the only thing you can do is take it to Apple IF its still under the 1 year warranty.

[biggymac609]

it's not under warranty, and i have voided it anyways i took it apart to change the battery

so ur saying theres nothing i could do?

How long ago did you swap the battery? And when did it start "not working right"....about the same time?

Maybe you messed up whilst replacing the B82RE (battery, it's an Ali G reference.)

[biggymac609]

i replaced the battery, used the phone for a while (like an hour), then restored

i planned on restoring before i did the battery

[cpjr]

So in other words....the phone starting acting up right after you swapped the battery?

Yeah dude, you screwed something up when you opened the phone up.

That would have been a very important piece of information to know up front.

Its most certainly a hardware issue.
