iPhone 4s stuck in recovery mode

[cameronmoore]

Hi there,

I did a screen repair on a iPhone 4s running 6.1.3 software and after I put everything back together the screen worked fine but it kept searching for service and wouldn't pick up the sim card.

After this I followed all the steps online how to fix this (hard reset, calling the phone etc.) I then decided to put the phone in dfu mode and try to restore it through itunes and kept getting error <-1>.

Now the phone is in a recovery loop and I cannot get it out of it. Things I've tried:
Downloading ispw and tried restore through itunes option+restore
Redsnow recovery fix
Redsnow custom ispw and restore function
Tiny umbrella exit recovery and tss server

Any help would be much appreciated

A regular restore yields the -1 error? Try another computer.

I have tried on three separate computers, two pc's and a mac

I get the same. I've tried 5 different computers. In the end I've given up and booked a Genius Bar appointment. I'm going this Sunday.

Will let you know how I get on
