Hi ! For information to all iPhone sifu / user here i already search thru all the sub thread on this "iPhone" thread for hours (nearly 4 hours to be actual) before i open this new thread. I've read from page 1 until page 31 including "Pinned" threads. So far from all those thread, TS will get scolded by not read previous threads.

This is my 2nd iPhone and even with my 1st iPhone up to the day i sold the unit i've manage to settle the problems by my self by reading thru previous iPhone Threads. But this time i can't settle by my self, so i decided to get help.

So forgive me if some of the sifus here will get mad. So i appologize first. .



Problem : iPhone hang on start-up (shown Apple Logo) for hours..

Causing by : It happen after i do a "Reset" for the iPhone setting. During reset time also takes 2 1/2 hours to complete.



iPhone Version : iPhone 2G 16Gb

Firmware : 2.0.2 (JB since september 2008)


iTunes version : 8.0


Please help.

Thanks...

to restore iPhone and reset the phone to default factory settings, follow these steps:

1. Turn off iPhone - Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the red slider. Ignore this step if your iPhone is already off.
2. Press and hold down the Home button for about 10 seconds until a yellow triangle with a text which says Please Connect to iTunes appears.

3. Plug the iPhone into Mac or Windows PC. Release the button if you haven’t.
4. Run and open iTunes if it’s not already opened yet.
5. iTunes will prompt a message that says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Click OK.
6. You will be taken to the iPhone pane. Then, click on Restore.
7. Wait for the full restoration process to complete, and the iPhone will be back to the original settings state as when it left the manufacturing factory, typically a working phone again if you face any problem, unless it’s hardware related

Will try again until sucessful..

Btw

After i Press and Hold the home button for 10 seconds, theres no yellow triangle appeared....

i not sure, i just took from a guide i found. but instead the triangle, should be a usb picture, showing to plug into itunes

another way u might can try is try to use quickpawn 2.1 , it might able to JB + restore back ur phone

This is part of my search thru other thread ealier.

My problem same is similar to the quoted above. I've done few things to make my computer detect the iPhone but fail.




p/s : On that thread there's no solution found accept that TS done DFU....

if not mistaken error 1603/4 is the firmware not correct or compiling is not done correctlly. the only why i can suggest is use DFU mode. or hard reset, press home and power button together for 15 sec then power 2 sec

Will try again....will update the outcome..

past experience.

re-installing iTunes perhaps.

iMac24 ! try this :

make sure your iPhone is connected to your computer before you start step 1 and 2

1. Press and hold Home button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds,

2. Release power button BUT don't release Home button (press and hold Home button for another 10 seconds)


If you done it correctly your itunes will "On" by it self and search for your iPhone.

----------

Try this first and let us know......

are referring DFU mode?

in DFU mode your screen will become blank.
no words no logo no pic.

how to put it, when u do quickpawn, u no need to enter DFU mode, you only need to enter recovery mode to reinstall the firmware. that what i trying to say.

you misunderstood mate.
quickpawn make your iphone goes to recovery mode.


This is DFU.
