Hi,
I have a problem with my iPhone. When I try to power it on, all I see is faint black pixels... Though if I plug it in the wall, then the display works, but all I can see is the white apple... and nothing else. It won't go any further than this. I can put it in restore mode when it's plugged in the wall, but as soon as I unplug it, it shut off.
At first I thought it was a battery problem, but I've searched all over the web and I found one guy who had the same problem as I do, and he said that when he got it to get repaired, the technician told him that all he did to make it work was to restore the OS. So I've tried to restore it by putting it into DFU mode when plugged in the computer. I succeeded in DFUing my iPhone, but when I try to restore, I get the 1601 error, and I have no clue what that means. I've tried with older ipsw files, and if these files are from system 3.0 and higher, I still get error 1601. But with the 2.0 series, I get the 1600 error.
I've also tried to repair it with redsn0w, but no luck. Blackra1n won't do anything either. Does anyone have any idea what I could try ? I've already tried on a mac, on a pc, on different accounts, on different usb ports, with different cables and everything. I don't know what system was previously installed because it's a phone I bought on eBay... and I got it like that. It was supposed to work. I've asked the seller if it was jailbroken before and which system was installed. I'm still waiting for a answer. I'll post it here as soon as I know.
Thank you very much for trying to help me. I really need this phone to work.
