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...

i think there are several iphone users having the same problem like yours? try to search harder..

enter DFU mode and use itunes to restore first. did u jailbreak?

When the iPhone on start-up with Apple logo on it plus at the same time it connected to computer, iTunes not detect my iPhone.

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.

Ahh..... I remember it so well, I had the same problem. Do not do a full reset because it screws up your phone, the reset to factory is for iphone that is not JB or unlock before hence you and I had that problem. I would suggest that you do Winpwn it back to FW 2.01 first by using this guide.

http://sleepers.net/news/2008/07/25/winpwn-20-guide/

Read the section on how to DFU, there are suppose to be 3 way so of DFU depending on the batches of iphone. For me I did this.

1. Attach the phone to the pc
2. Turn the phone off
3. Press and hold power. Keep holding power. As soon as you see display on the screen of any sort press and hold home.
4. Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
5. Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.

When the PC beep then the screen on the iphone would blank out and I think it would flash white once.
And if you had followed the guide then your itune 7.7 would be PWN and you should be ready to shift restore to restore back to FW 2.01.

Now KISS YOUR IPHONE and SCREAM

Go search for a guide on how to upgrade to FW 2.1, I use the easy way by download a JB version of 2.1 and restore. It works for me.

Hope this help.

Jackdon.

Haha, thanks jackdon. I also suspected a same thing, but it not happen during my iPhone 2G 8Gb (FW 1.1.4).


Anyway one funny thing, my PC cannot detect my iPhone but it can detected by Mac. So now i started downloading the necessary file to JB again the iPhone but this time using Mac..

so maybe this midnight i'll start JB the iPhone..

Will let know if anything happen..

lol, u found my post.
very good
cause my iphone still suffering from it
still can't fix it

Are you sure it is not your PC USB fault, the MAC is also detecting the iphone using the USB.

jackdon.

i still can't restore mine. doesn't matter if its normal or custom.
still stuck with error 1604 and 1603
really dunno what to do. tried everything. still cannot. tried on new PCs that have never touched iphones also still cannot

yeah this shud work..

Two days without iPhone is boring.......

what are u using?winpawn?quickpawn?

whatever i do also cannot
using pwnagetool create custom firware and restore also cannot
hard reset also cannot
normal restore to 2.1 firmware also cannot..
DFU mode also cannot.
guess i'll be at the TT.. haha

Guess my problem also same as you .........Done most evrything already...

Did you try all 3 method of DFU ?

jackdon

You are right !!! Finally my iPhone is back to normal with 2.1 FW at 8Pm today after 2 days of trying

The key of the success is to press the correct DFU method.....



Anyway Thanks to everyone who contributed to settle this problem

prob solved?

i guess so.. since davvycroix silently silent? hahahahahaa

how long does it take for quickpwn to jailbreak the iphone, i'm not sure whether my iphone froze or it's being jailbreakon. It says in Quickpwn, Uploading exploit bootloader and the iphone screen is white but after all it seems that the iphone screen turns back to nothing as in black and then it's wait wait. How ah ?

Hi ! I'm TS for this thread. I suprised this thread is re-open again and for info, my iPhone working great. Anyway this mid of October thread.

why dont u close it urself iMac24?

Thanks for the update, mate. A gentle reminder in the future though, if you're gonna post up a thread like this requesting technical support, do follow up and keep everyone here posted on your status. If your problem was resolved some time ago then this thread should've been closed there and then.

Having others guessing over this case repeatedly despite the fact that it has been resolved, isn't the most productive way of spending time in here.
