Did my iphone 3g die? (custom 4.2.1 6:15:00 Jb+Unlock)

[elpe]

Hi there,

My iphone will not turn on, its able to connect to my mac, only in dfu.

After trying to restore itunes says: error 23.

Read a lot of forums but always whitout a real solution... Most say its water damage but mine has a different story:

Jailbroken, custom firmware 4.2.1 on baseband 6:15:00.

Used it for a couple of months, never opened cydia. A friend of mine opened the cydia app and it started updating. Then the iphone slowly died in 2 days:

First battery fast drainage and after the battery died it will not turn on again. Connected to usb power cable: able to connect to itunes in fdu: error 23


Anyone any clue?

Thanks a lot!!

so its a hardware error. how unfortunate. if its still under warranty go to apple and get a replacement. if not n ur felling bold try replacing the dock connector, connector 4 inside the iphone. U can buy replacements on ebay for $10

First off, how do you figure it's a hardware error

Second, he can't take it in regardless if he just bought it last week–baseband updated to 6.15.00.

Have you tried restoring to a different fw? Is your phone hacktivated?

I upgraded to 6.15 also... then i tried downgrading and the phone won't restore anymore. took it to apple and they asked me a few questions and got a replacement =)

That's pretty lucky, technically your warranty was void with the ipad baseband.

Also remember once you have the ipad 6.15 baseband you must always use a custom firmware that doesnt update the baseband. All normal IPSW files will fail after doing ipad baseband.
