IT loads to the apple logo, then reboots. Windows never recognizes it, nor will redsn0w. Got it from craigslist for $100 as a project. Can it be fixed?
I bought it this way on purpose, I want to see if this is fixable. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot cycle (Get's to the apple logo, restarts, and does that endlessly.) Other times it sits at the apple and freezes. i know its firmware issue
unfortunately I don't have any experience in that. I haven't had the issue, so maybe if someone else can offer assistance, go for it.
Ok, Update time. I've done some research. Sometimes it gets into a boot cycle. Sometimes it just freezes. It WILL enter DFU, but windows and redsn0w do not recognize. It WILL NOT enter recovery mode.
NEW UPDATE. Sometimes it gets into a boot cycle. Sometimes it just freezes. It WILL enter DFU, but windows, iTunes and redsn0w do not recognize. It WILL enter recovery mode, but windows, iTunes and redsn0w do not recognize.
Well if it isnt recognized in dfu mode your not going to have any access to it, and without that you will pretty much have to buy a new logic board or use it as a hat weight.
yeah, you are most likely screwed. Unfortunately, you might want to do a little more research when buying broken products. RROD 360s you can fix, iphones on the otherhand, I haven't heard much in the way of fixing them.
