I've been having some trouble with my iPhone over the past couple of days. It has been randomly slowing down, freezing up, and lately I've had to do a couple of hard restores.

Tonight I was out and noticed that it said that no SIM card was installed. I use Verizon so, to my knowledge, there shouldn't be a SIM card in there. After a few hours of trying to hard restore it, it finally came back on but only for 5 minutes before going black again for good.

Nothing I do can make it boot back up. When I plug it in, iTunes immediately tells me that the phone is in recovery mode. I have tried to boot it up regularly and I believe that I have tried it in DFU mode a few times. It still goes about 70% of the way before giving me the error message that I mentioned in the title. I have tried restarting, changing USB ports, everything. There's no anti-virus program installed on my computer.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I would really appreciate it!
 
Op error 1 is a hardware failure.

The apple store will try 2 things..

1, restore

2, dfu restore

If both fail they will offer you a replacement if you have AppleCare or an out of warranty replacement.
 
Did you try using a different cable? I've found sometimes that can solve the issue, also make sure you're using an OEM Apple cable not a third party one while doing the restore.
