This was my original problem....below,
Restore loop, wrong battery, now black screen, please help
Hi,
I bought 2 batteries off ebay, because mine is going flat, disassembled iphone 3gs for the first time. Once back together, worked fine, until I plugged it into itunes! Hell beast. Stuck on restore loop, and wont budge. Read everything I could on it, I installed irestore onto pc, PC froze up, had to eventually go back to a restore point, as fingerprint login, usb's, network would not work.
So disassembled phone agian, and tried second ebay battery, nope, same deal, so took it apart and put original battery in. Now the screen is black. and itunes still says, phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I have updated the software. Is there somewhere to download an earlier version of software to install that?
I was so hopeful that replacing original battery would have given my phone back.
NOW, after leaving it connected to pc overnight, itunes asked if i wanted to restore new or my iphone backup, i chose backup. it synched all my stuff, successfully, yehah, but now i just have a white screen, no apple logo, just blank white.It is not frozen on white screen, phone turns off.
Do the screws matter inside the phone, do they need to go in same position?
