3GS Error 29 when trying to load 4.3.4

[poundman]

Tried to update my 3GS phone with AT&T GO card with 4.3.4 from 4.3.3 Never had jailbreak before. Install failed and when into recovery mode but it will not complete with error code 29 which apple store says is hardware failure.

I have replaced the battery and digitizer screen but it was working great before today. Is there anyway to re-install 4.3.3 image? Where can I get it? Is it on my PC? I tried fixed recovery and it appears it was succesful. But when I used itunes to recovery it still fails

Help? What tools do I need now?

Put your iPhone in DFU mode and try to restore again.

Still no luck

Put in DFU mode but still no luck. Tried fix recovery tool, not luck.
Is Iphone2,1 = 3GS? I wonder if the screen replacement has anything to do with this? Could it be that it thinks I have 3G phone isntead.

I'm willing to try and firmware to get it running again

Ok, I think I have found the problem. Recovery log has this error

entering update_gas_gauge
0: RamrodErrorDomain/3ea: update_gas_gauge: gasgauge_swupdate returned -1
attempting to dump restore log
writing log file: /mnt1/restore.log

Other searches indicate this is caused by after market battery I used. Any way to bypass this or where can I get a battery that will work.

New battery from directfix.com was the solution. By that time 4.3.5 installed just fine. Don't bother with ebay when getting a battery. Save some time and go directly to directfix.com for only $15
