Hey,
So my iphone 3g 16gb is bricked or something.
It keeps rebooting every 10-15 seconds or so and is only showing the apple logo. I put it in dfu or whatever so that it was in restore mode. Plugged it into comp (Windows, running Win7 and have the latest update of Itunes) and had itunes on. it recognized it and i went about restoring the phone.
However once it is at the preparing to restore iphone and the loading meter shows up on the phone. my iphone goes back into rebooting mode, restarts thus stopping the restore and then says to plug it into itunes and it starts the whole restore process over...i have done this part probably 10+ times and don't know what to do.

I tried taking out the sim card, putting it back in, restarting itunes, restarting comp, changing usb port, turning off apple mobile service and restarting that...nothing seems to work.
