Hi all,
I've recently been having problems with an iPhone 3GS that I got given by a friend to repair and can't get my head around the problem. I have seen this issue over the internet and on this forum but no one seems to be having the same faults that I am getting on this phone. I'll explain:
I think they tried to jailbreak the phone and have completely messed it up - there is no way that I am able to get the Apple logo to show on the screen or get the phone to show any signs of life yet when I plug it into iTunes it is immediately recognised as an iPhone 3GS in recovery mode.
With it being recognised in iTunes I have tried restoring it with about 4 firmwares (including iOS 5.1 downloaded directly from Apple) but all of the restore attempts come back with Error 1601
Having read about a bit I downloaded iReb and put the phone in DFU mode using that. This still made iTunes come back with the same errors.
I then saw online something about using TinyUmbrella. So I downloaded that too and made it start the TSS Server (is that right?) which made iTunes come back with Error 2005. This error I still can't fix.
Whatever I do I seem to be going around from Error to error. Has anyone else had this problem? If so I'd be so grateful for some advice!
