I am new to these forums, I was wondering if someone has seen my problem before. I hope someone here can, as I have tried two other popular Iphone forums already without one response....

I have an Iphone 3g 16gb with a replaced front glass/digitizer, was running it jailbroken on 2.2. It was working great for a while (months) since the glass was replaced, but then last week, I noticed that the proximity sensor was not working. So, I opened up the phone again to see if something perhaps was blocking the sensor, or if the cable had become dislodged. Anyway, when I put it back together, it didn't boot up! So, I plugged it into my macbook, and itunes could still see it fine and sync with it, so I knew it was still "on". That being said, I tried to toggle the vibrate switch just so see if it would vibrate and nothing, just a phone that appeared completely off, except for being able to see it in Itunes. No sounds either...

Next I tried flashing it with 2.2.1 (regular, restore method, and DFU) back to factory defaults to see if that would fix it. I was able to reload the os each way, but still nothing different. The "geniuses" at the apple store wouldn't help me either, because apparently the water-sensitive tape at the bottom got wet at some point. I am sure it hasn't been wet or in water, at least for several months. So, what could it be? Yesterday, I replaced the LCD and proximity sensor, same results. So then, I d/l'ed itunes for Windows, tried re-imaging it in DFU-mode windows, at least I think it was DFU mode as I cant see the screen to be sure. I was able to do so, but same results again.

The unit does upload crash and panic files to itunes when it syncs, the same crash files everytime I sync it with Itunes. I also tried downgrading it to 2.2, but got a 1303 error: Below is the output of the iphone.crash file, I can u/l the other files too, the panic file says something about a WDT timeout. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
