If I don't want to use a the iPhone as a phone anymore, and just want to use it as a Touch, does it make sense to use one of the "jailbreak" programs to try to get past a persistent 1002 error? If so, which one?
I was was using my 3GS, put it in my coat, and 5 minutes later when I tried to use it again, it showed that symbol that it needed to be hooked to iTunes. Every time I try to restore it, the bar looks like it is 1 hair away from being full, it hangs, and I get a 1002 error.
I took it to the Genius Bar, and after trying 3 times to restore it, they couldn't. But the genius said that it is a software error, and there is nothing wrong with the phone, so I am hesitant to just toss it.
