[Rinnycoop121]

I have a 2g i am trying to get restored, i am only able to get to connect to ituneslogo and DFU mode, but in the restore process i get a message that the USB device is not recognized.

then phone just restarts back to Itunes logo

tried redsnow with 3.1.2 firmware

tried restore from Itunes

Tried Blackra1n

tried tinyumbrella to kick out of recovery and nothing.

You may need to try another PC or maybe even a Mac.

+1

sounds like a computer problem rather than the phone

What iTunes are you running? I would also try a different USB port and see if that helps

[Rinnycoop121]

tried different USB's i mean every one also tried 3 different pc's

and 3 different wires

Newest itunes 10

Try and find a mac to try it on. If still nothing then something is wrong with the phone itself.

Sounds to me then you have a hardware problem

[Rinnycoop121]

yeah maybe not cool at all

now all i am getting it the Apple Logo with the spinning thingy but it is frozen.

[Cowboy]

yeah maybe not cool at all

Sorry man but that's the only thing I can think of

[j3st3r]

do you have wifi sync installed? if so uninstall it and try again

[iYeow]

If you cannot restore to stock 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 firmware and produces error, then it is possible you have a hardware problem.

well i have gotten the phone up and running but now i have the following problem

as soon as i connect the phone to my PC while it is in Normal Mode i get this message



also have this problem



if i am in restore mode or DFU mode the PC Reads the iPhone fine.

But in the process of recovery i get the error message and recovery fails



what you think is the iPhone gone or can it be saved?

let me know

P.S. anything else i connect to the PC reads fine, My iPhone 4 and my sons 3G the only thing giving me the problem is this 2g

[Cowboy]

Yeah its a hardware problem its either the dock connector or the logic board. The lb is what i am leaning towards.

[Rinnycoop121]

should i try to tare it apart?

I am prety decent at puting together a PC

What you think.

i never opened an iPhone before.

[Cowboy]

You can try 2gs are the trickiest ones to work with just looking for a video on how to do so on youtube

[Rinnycoop121]

ok thx we will give it a try

[Cowboy]

No problem good luck
