Hi, first time posting.
I'm about ready to toss out my beloved iPhone 3G.
I've never, in my 1 and 1/2 years of owning the iPhone 3G, come across this type of situation before. Hoping someone can help.
I was happily on pwned FW version 3.0.1 with everything working just fine. Then one night, the iPhone wouldn't respond to me pushing the sleep/wake button, so I tried a hard reset, but that threw the phone into either DFU mode or Recovery mode (screen was just blank).
So I tried restoring with iTunes, but it wouldn't restore both to original Apple FW and Pwned FW. iTunes would always get to "Verifying iPhone Restore" with the progress bar, but never complete.
The progress bar on the iPhone itself under the Apple logo would also freeze (but the position it would freeze at seems to depend on the FW version I'm trying to restore).
I have since tried with FW versions 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, and 3.1.2 (all with custom and stock FW).
I have tried with iTunes versions 8.2 and 9.0.2 (fresh re-installs also).
I have tried on various operating systems: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, XP, Vita, Mac OS X.
I have tried different USB Ports, both with hubs and without.
I checked my iPhone Software Updater Logs and they all have the same error:
