Hi guys,
So basically, my iPhone just went black. Music suddenly stopped playing and the phone went "off". I wasn't able to turn it on or reset it (by holding the power and home button), however. When I put my iphone in my pc itunes will recognize it as an iPhone in recovery mode, but when I try to restore it, the apple logo will come on, everything will look fine, but then the progress bar appears on the iPhone and will stay empty. iTunes will be stuck on "Waiting for iPhone". When I plug the iPhone out the pc, the screen will just stay as it was, but I got it to the the white background with black apple logo one time (I think by holding the power and home button for a couple of seconds), but then the screen wen't dark with a lot of artifacts and then turned off again. Then after holding the power and home button, the screen stayed black, but iTunes recognized the phone being in recovery mode again. The screen will now stay black every time. It does seem to recognize if I put the phone in dfu mode however, but the process will just freeze at waiting for iPhone, again.
Does anybody know how I could fix this? I really don't want to send it to apple if it's not necessary.
PS. My iPhone isn't physically damaged in any way.
PPS. redsn0w sees the iPhone constantly in DFU mode. If I hold the power and home button, the phone will go directly in DFU mode again.
