So I redid the whole procedure and it worked without a glitch, for about 3 hours...

Since everything besides the touch-recognition works I think it might be a faulty connection from the digitzier to the logicboard.

Does anybody know which one of the mainboard-connectors is responsible for what task? I named the connectors as follows ;)

• the one on the side of dock-connector (with the black clamp)
• the really annoying small one on the camera-side
• the bigger one on the side of the camera.

Thank you very much for your help!

I replaced the battery with a new item from iFixit, charged it overnight, and in 6 hours it is down to about 60%.

Is there a way to reset it, especially the energy management (like resetting SMC on a MAC)?

Any suggestions?

I wouldn't normally post a question such as this, but considering that original iPhones are increasingly impractical as phones, but are still useful when recycled as iPod-like devices, I think it's an issue that is not going to go away and might as well be solved.

Thanks!

I need that part, and I can't find it on iFixit. It used to be there 3 days ago. Can you help me with the link on iFixit?

Are the 1st gen digitizers the same as the 3G digitizers?

Few days ago, the sim tray of mi old iPhone stuck inside, so I had to disassemble it.

I had a lot of problems to do it, and, in the proccess I cut one of the antenna cables, the one that is connected in the middle of the antenna ribbon sheet.

Edited: Read the actual situation below the first image.

The cable is cutted very closed to the metal cable support in the side of the phone (see the arrow in the photo), and I'm afraid that if the cable make contact with the support, the comunications board (or something else) could be damaged.

What do you think there is the best solution for this problem? maybe cut the cable in the other side of the metal support, and replace this fragment with a new cable?

Thank you very much for the help!

Edited:

I've read that the two wired are "the same", they are connected to each other and connect the comunications board with the antenna ribbon and the rear case.

I've solder the cutted cable and I've check with a tester the connectivity between the comunications board (1 and 2), the antenna ribbon (the two connectors) (3 and 4) and the rear case (5), all ok. The points are marked in the image.

See the image in full size

The problem is that I don't have WiFi connectivity. The GSM coverage is fine, but none the Wifi.

I have the phone disassemble, and I have connected the parts with a wire.

Any suggestions about the Wifi coverage?

Thanks!

so long story short.....

i asked a question about a bootlooping iphone maybe 1-2 months ago and got told to use 3utools.

then i did it after managing to get a windows laptop and the put the iphone in dfu mode, and it told me to flash it and restore it. i did and it got stuck at 18%

three. freaking. times.

and now instead of bootlooping like it did, it would show the apple logo for 3 seconds and then go straight into recovery mode.

then i tried to use itunes to restore, once before i used 3utools, and it did nothing.

then i tried it twice after, and still did nothing

im so defeated, lol

help????

I used the metal spudger which was too big and a paperclip which was too soft.

First of all I live in Canada, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

My carrier is Bell.

My phone is jailbroken, tried several different ones; redsn0w, blackra1n, Pwnage... I've tried to unlock several different times mostly using Bootneuter 2.1

I've tried both bootloaders 3.9 and 4.6

The phone will work with Rogers. My SIM will work on 3G's.

What is it that's not working here? Is it my Sim is too new for the 2G (which shouldn't be the case since the other Roger's sims work) or does Bell not support the 2G? I've spent hours and hours trying every possible combination. Tried to use Fuzzyband 4.1 to downgrade the baseband, but couldn't find an early enough version that would work.

Please.. if you have any suggestions, let me know, because I'm out of ideas and think I may either have to switch carriers, or be stuck with a glorified iPod Touch.

I also damaged my home button flex because of the battery I thought nothing was beneath it. So I want to know if I need to order both or if it is normal for a Li on battery to be "moldable"
