Help : iPhone will not restore/start correctly

[Munzo]

Just the other day my iPhone started experiencing random restarts and at that point I was starting to think the phone just needed to be restored.

So I went home and restored it to the newest version I have... 2.2.1 although it was still restarting although much more. It would restart while the apple symbol was seen and not always load.

After trying to restore to a few different firmwares including which were not always custom using Pwnage I am now at the point where i believe it is on version 1.1.1 although not 100% and I only can let it restart a zillion times or see the usb cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. Also when I try to restore it to another firmware I get the loving 21 and 1..6 errors...


During the day today I was lucky to get an error which included some of this.. I did not have a chance to write it ALL down...

It would be great if someone knew what I could do to try and fix this!!! It hurts not to have a phone nor iPod....

[I did my best to find a cure before posting this and sorry if this is not the best place for this post.]

Put the phone in DFU mode...black screen. Then install f/w 2.2.1!

[Munzo]

Care to use a bit more detail for me please?

I'm having troubles as it is trying to get it into DFU mode never mind actually restore it!

[Zwayne]

Good job, so it is back up and running?

[Munzo]

no...? *confused*

[Zwayne]

Try this....Its from cpjr.

The correct way to DFU mode:

1. Itunes open, phone off and plugged in.

2. Hold POWER button for 5 seconds.

3. WITHOUT letting go of POWER, now hold HOME button for 10 seconds (both held)

4. Let go of POWER, CONTINUE to hold HOME button until itunes recognizes phone (another 10-20 secs)

I followed that Zwayne although I still get the usb cable pointing towards the iTunes symbol... (repeated a few times to try and resolve if it was me... )

[Zwayne]

The screen will be black if it is in DFU mode.

[Munzo]

Is there any other options or methods that may work?

Sorry to double post but I restored my iPhone again (not using dfu nor cracked version) and got this error message on start up...
