Hi all,
Recently bought a spares or repairs iPhone off eBay.
After many hours attempting restores, I managed to get it running, jailbroken on iOS 4.1, the only problem is that now it's on, I've realized it switches off all the time.

At first I though it just switched off when using the camera, but I've noticed it happens after about 30 seconds on the phone too.
It sometimes lets me take a few photos before switching off.

I've tried downgrading to 3.1.3 to see of the 4+ firmware is the issue, but no matter what I do (saving SHSHs, changing host files, unjailbreaking) it won't downgrade it.

It does it even when plugged in, so I thought that would mean it's not the battery.

Any ideas? Could it be the battery?
