Hi,
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5, i've had it for about a week or so and it was working fine. I installed IOS 7 on it as I have an Apple dev account so fancied taking it for a spin.
All was fine until today when I took my iPhone out for a run as I do normally in my Belkin Armband. It seemed to crash while running (I was using the Strava app) and wouldn't switch on when I got back.
I managed to turn it on but the Apple logo just flashed up and kept fading away. Eventually I got it to come on and it went straight to the temperature screen and said it had overheated. I left it off in a cool place for an hour but when turning it on again it still had the overheating message. I then noticed that the camera lens/glass had fogged up as if it had some kind of moisture in it!
It seems to me that this is some kind of hardware fault!? I've contacted my service provider to arrange a replacement. The worry for me was returning it with IOS 7 installed?! so I managed to get it on long enough for me to get into DFU/Recovery mode. I attempted a restore to IOS 6.1.4 but this failed with a unknown error (-1 error code). I've tried the restore 3 or 4 times in both recovery and DFU modes with no luck - same error.
From research it seems the -1 error is related to baseband corruption. What I can't understand is how this has happened!? it's not like I jailbroke or anything just did normal IOS upgrades and restores?!
Shall I put it down to a complete hardware fault? Has anyone seen anything like this before??
Cheers
Alex
Sad to be without my iPhone
