Ok so my iPhone 3G 3.1.3 BB 06.15 was working fine for months.Now just today the screen went to sleep and would not turn back on.I tried everything to get it to turn back on but luck.I tried a hard reset and it booted the apple logo then the screen went white.Sometimes I get lucky and it will boot up but then the screen goes to sleep and it goes off again.Now even after restoring multiple times it still happens.Anyone have any issues like this?
^It looks like some basic stock Apple code is corrupted. In 99.999% of the cases -- the only fix is to restore. A custom ipsw is required due to the iPad BB. Try starting a 3.1.2/3.1.3 custom restore with redsn0w (not sure the version, maybe rc8?). Select enter pwn-ed DFU mode only, then load custom ipsw w/iTunes.
Ok so I tinkered around inside my phone and voila!I got it to work and it was just a plastic insert out of place causing pressure on the logic board.Therefore it caused some sort of bootloop.
