Hi
3 years ago my son bought me a 2g iPhone. He was only 17 so it was an incredible gift and i dont want to lose it or upgrade. However, recently it started freezing in the middle of writing texts or when i slid the lock/unlock bar. Then on Saturday it wouldn't charge or connect to the computer.
It's jail broken (or whatever the term is for what you do to make it work with a network other than O2) and i suspect that could be relevant to the problem. As i've said i couldn't connect to the computer to restore it in iTunes so i resorted to going into settings to "Erase all content and settings" I was hoping the problem would be deleted as well and i would be able to sync it with the computer and iTunes again. It wont.
It's stuck in recovery mode now (i think thats the term) The apple logo is on a black screen and it seems to reboot every few minutes. I can get the screen up that has the USB plug with an arrow pointing upwards to a cd with a musical note on it, but the computer still wont recognise it when i plug it in. Am i done for? Any help greatly appreciated.
