I've had my iPhone since the 2g release.. Then I bought my 3g last October. Since I've purchased it, it has worked pretty seamlessly, few minor problems here and there. I got access to the 3.0 firmware, and got activated, and the first 2 builds were working fine, and the day I upgraded to beta 3, it started giving me major issues.
I got the firmware installed, and I was making a trip to the apple store, to get the phone replaced for a separate issue (screen scratches lol) so i went there, and the guy told me he would replace the screen, and not replace the phone, okay fine. The screen got replaced, and he told me that cause I was on 3.0 it voided my warranty, yada yada yada.
So about an hour-ish later, after I had gotten home, my phone started freaking out and shut off.. At that point, it got stuck at the boot screen, and after restarting, it would just keep hanging at the apple logo, so i decided to restore.
After restoring, I got to a point, where it would go to a purple recovery screen, the final screen that allowed you to "Set up new iPhone, or restore from backup" and the phone turns off and on fine, but when I plug it in, a new problem arises. When I attach my phone via USB to the computer, the Phone freezes, and when i take it out, it unfreezes. Last time it happened, I pretty much cried to Apple, asking for help, but they told me I was SOL, and had to buy a new phone, and my phone started working miraculously again. Now, 2 days later, it's doing the same thing again, freezing and unfreezing at the restore point.
Can anyone offer some advice, or wisdom as to what I could do to fix my phone, or has anyone else had the same problem as I'm having? Apple has never heard about this before.
All answers welcome! :/
