iPhone 3GS stuck in white screen after updating to 4.2 - GSM-Forum

waheedgondal · 01-26-2011, 23:32

Hello friends,
I had a 3GS with new bootrom, BB 06.15.00 and 4.1 FW installed which was jail broken and unlocked.
A few days ago, i updated the FW to 4.2 using redsn0w 9.6.b5. Installed custom FW 4.2 from i tunes. it all went good. i unlocke my iphone and also used it for an hour.
But after few hours, the screen went black. I tried to reboot it several times using redsn0w but failed, each time it stucks on white screen,

I have tried reinstalling 4.2, also tried restoring to 4.1 by several methods but failed. Mostly i get two errors in itunes, either 1600 or 28.
I have used ireb, snowbreeze, tinyumbrella, blackrain, limerain but nothing works.
Please help me, as i am without my phone for many days,

the only thing left is that i will try to remove its battery, and then place it again after few minutes, i hope, it will help...

Suggestions awaited

use 4.1 fw, will give u an error 1015, then use "recbot" or "tinyumbrella" to get out of recovery, now use redsn0w to JB.

post results.

sorry about bad english ^^
