Adjust your date and time , just connect it to wireless connection it will auto adjust then reboot phone it will be okay

See the modem in setting if its not appear then put a orignal operator sim card and restart the phone then modem appear and all goes to normal.

thanks doing it now, if it doesn't work what would be the next logical step?

purplemonkey123 · 01-14-2015, 15:08

where is the modem setting>?

purplemonkey123 · 01-14-2015, 15:53

also after i had replaced screen, and put back on i found i had missed a little gold shield, but can't figure out where it has come from? any ideas it seems to be the only one which is gold on both sides

ok can't restore just keep getting an error code 1 it fails to restore when verifying firmware, also noticed that in iTunes under serial number it says n/a. I'm stuck with a phone i can't do anything with now. can't restore and can't start it. Any ideas?

What most likely happened is that you accidentally damaged a capacitor or something similar on the logic board whilst you were changing the screen.

Do you have a microscope so that you can take a closer look on the logic board?

just conect with itune and wait for 5 min then disconect device put off your mobile 100% working

purplemonkey123 · 01-15-2015, 14:40

if i plug it into itunes it won't do anything as its failed to install half way through a restore. so it will just come up with connect to itunes icons

adnastar · 01-15-2015, 14:53

just connect to itunes in normal mode wait for itunes to detect phone then reboot
