My Iphone 2G dont want to turn on... and give error 1601
I got this iphone 2g from my mom's friend but... the iphone was frozen on white screen.... then it turn off and dont want to turn on now. i tried to go DFU mode and tried to restore the system with Itunes... but i got the error 1601...
then i used this guide How-to Fix An unknown error (1601) but it didnt work... i downloaded a costum 3.1 firmaware didnt worked too... and the iphone didnt turned on in the process i readed that it should do after while updating.... but dont even White screen.... can someone plz help... ?
If the screen was all white the LCD is no good and needs to be replaced. So it not turning on now might just be the screen not working but it's actually on. Just hook to iTunes and press restore that'll get you to newest software for the 2g.
the LCD screen dont turn on. and the iphone isnt recogniced by itunes unless i use DFU mode... then when i try to restore says an error "1601" used like i said that program to "bypass" that error but it still not working. The Screen isnt turning on but it was some days ago...
16xx errors are dfu errors. Use redsnow to put phone into dfu/pwned dfu and restore in iTunes that way. I doubt that you will get it to restore without fixing the screen first. The reason iTunes won't recognize it is because it panics before it gets far enough into the boot process for the computer to see it. If I was you I'd replace the screen, making sure to disconnect battery for a few minutes, reassemble and hold home button and plug into computer. Hold home til the plug into iTunes screen appears on phone and computer sees it in recovery. If that doesn't work a dfu restore is necessary. You need to fix what you know is broke before trying to diagnose other issues. Chances are once the screen is fixed and battery disconnected you will be able to get it going.
The all white screen is a indicator the LCD is bad. Once you see the all white screen its only a matter of time until it won't work at all. Also replace the digitizer too while your at it they are pretty cheap. If you need more help post.
thx A3g i think i got what you said... what i did was this i downloaded a costum firmare 3.1.3 for iphone 2g... i turned on the device in DFU mode... the itunes recognized it... and it tried to install the software... then error 1601 i tried using ireb too but the same error... now i tried to install another 3.1.3 but for 3g in a 3g and it worked.... so is not my pc.... but anyway i gived up and took it to a cell phone repairer.... they will check it and see if it can be rapair... but thnks
