Anyone got any advice or wanna try to fix this phone. I stuck at Apple boot logo. It seem it cannot boot. Able to enter recovery mode and DFU mode but unable to restore.

After starting a restore, the phone will reboot and Itunes will never to detect it again. After some time it just give error msg 1604. Try on multiple computer even mac. Kick out of DFU/Recovery mode using ziphone + iLiberty both fail. Any suggestion please post here.

Anyone wanna try fixed also can PM me with location + fee.

Done that.. Still the same.. Also try on xp, vista + mac.. After Itunes extract the firmware, the progress bar end then Iphone will reboot show white apple logo. Usually Itunes will start writing the firmware, and Iphone show spinning wheel. But on this phone, Itunes progress by just scroll around like waiting for Iphone. In Iphone, no spinning wheel come out.

Yup.. I do offer the service but sometime thing happen which it shouldn't happen. Car mechanic sometimes send the car to other. Dr sometime send their kids to other clinics.. Soft engineer to send their computer for servicing to other places..

No offence taken. You pass to somebody else when you can't do it right..

Tried DFU, clean reinstalling of Itunes.

I not only seeking for help here but paid service also welcomed.

Will check all the post above.. Well I do have the reason why I put RM100 services. Actually it just to discourage people with simple problem. I deal with 100+ customer, even the simple thing the make a bit noise and ask to meet. I do this part time, no shop whatsoever. It hard to meet ur customer again just to show a few minutes of trick.

FYI I never charge my customer RM100, it just a figure. Just think like this, this is a vallet service for Iphone. You can choose to park ur car urself or ask the vallet (correct words a??) to do it, 1 free and another with fee.

Agreed completely with hanx/frozzbyte, it not about free tools it about time and effort.. I help a lot in here and ask for nothing. I don't use the Iphone but I know a lot. Mostly from reading and that is my effort and my time.

BTW, for this case I just help 1 of my customer. I shouldn't be responsible since it 100% working when I pass to him and he already use for a long time. Also hoping this info can help others.


Added on April 2, 2008, 11:42 amBTW, I see a few cases like this in hackintosh.. I believe the problem is not with Itunes.. It the phone it self.

I found out, for normal process

1. DFU mode -> DFU driver
2. After Iphone reboot (DFU complete) -> Iboot driver
3. Wheel start spinning -> Apple Mobile Driver

but for this phone it stuck at step 2.. After reboot it can't enter Apple mobile driver and after a while Itunes will timeout show error 1604.

Another update.. Now it involve some invalid data calibration.. I was able to boot the phone by using ibooter command line. But need to turn the radio off. At least the hardware is ok.. All radio function, phone, bt, wifi is off. Still searching..

Anybody doing comm board replacement. Looking for something like RM500 including replacement board n installation n testing.

Still no hope for this phone to come alive.

Side story..

Yesterday got a person PM for coz of their problem. I reply and guide him to right direction and then he ask a few more questions. Plus offering some money to be transferred to my account if I can help. I referred him to iclarified tutorial with some tips/trick. Then I heard nothing, not even thank you. Guess the phone come alive back. Not even my customer.

Yesterday also, got 5 missed can in 15 minutes. Customer call with a problem. Teach him to restore and unlock. Then silent, not even thanks sms..

This is reality worlds we live in.

I had the similar problem on my iPhone, after change password using passwd, the Springboard gaves an infinite loop, and when I wanna try to reboot it. The phone is stucked on the appl boot screen.

What I did is boot the iPhone in restore mode, connect it to itunes and let it do the restore. Then using Ziphone to unlock and jailbreak it.

To enter restore mode on iPhone,

1. Hold the sleep/standby button on top + Home button to force it to shutdown
2. Keep holding the Home button and  release the sleep/standby after it shutdown
3. Press again the sleep/standby button to boot it and immediate release it when u saw the apple boot logo
4. At the point, u r require to still holding the home button, wait for around 10-15 secs, the iPhone will prompt u to connect it to itunes
5. u can now connect it to USB n open iTunes to do the restore and master reset

Hope this helps.  smile.gif

That's restoring under DFU mode, try that in the 1st day get this phone. This mode should be allow you to restore even if you phone under corrupt file system. But this problem more severe I would said. Even under DFU mode, it unable to restore.

Wasted so many hour on this.. Will try again when got concrete solutions. The problem is, the Iphone will not boot. It stuck at white logo if I don't turn off the radio function using Ibooter.

All those people that able to fix using swifi never got problem to boot as far as I read.

Also try ieraser, sping, iunew all will stuck at some point. Must be because of radio off.

Right now will wait till winpwn out, hopefully it will patch some bootloader or bootrom to allow baseband reflash.

As far as my understanding, new comm board will means new S-gold thing which I believe will solve this problem.. Anyway, it up to my customer to choose what ever he want to do.


Added on April 14, 2008, 11:08 amoh, forgot. Swifi need BL to be FB which I unable to do coz bootneuter stuck at determine current setting.
