broken iphone.
New member
i jailbroke my iphone 3gs a while ago...it was version 3.1.2 because it was the only firmware blackrain was capable of jailbreaking. it was working just fine for a few months and then one night, when it was around 50% battery left, it just turned off. Every time my phone would turn off or die, i would have to connect it to the computer and re-jailbreak it in order for it to come back on. it would come up with the "connect to itunes" screen. So anyway, this night it just randomly stopped working for me, so i plugged it in to re-jailbrake. it would not work. i called apple, i tried a different computer, i tried every single thing imaginable to fix it. i tried re-jailbraking over and over and it didnt work. it would always work and i have no idea why now. My friend thinks "its bricked" but i do not think thats the problem. i have gooled and youtubed bricked iphones and none of them have the same problems. i plug it in to the computer and itunes says that "i must restore the device in order for it to work with itunes." so i try restoring and it says "cannot be restored, (error 1611) has occured" i looked at all the trobuleshooting teqniques and none of them worked. though i am aware that apple does not support jailbroken devices. i hace searched google and youtube and nothing seems to work. i tried re-jailbraking months later and still it does not work. i really need to get this phone working again. all it does is freeze on the "connect to itunes screen" and occasionally it will flicker with the apple logo while i try to restore it. if anybody has any advice or anything they know of that would help me get my phone fixed, please help! ):
