So yesterday/last night I was messing around with my phone, browsing the internet (completely up to date, non jailbroken).
Out of nowhere it just locks up on me… totally unresponsive. I was forced to manually reboot the thing, which worked… but now it wont go past the apple logo. I figured that it needed a little extra time to boot up, so I set it down and waited.
I ended up falling a sleep and woke up this moring to a dead phone… the battery totally drained.
I put it on the charger for a little while, which brought the apple logo back up and it’s just sitting there. The phone is red hot too. fucking piece of shit

This is the time where DFU mode is a live saver since you can get it into the mode without having it boot.
If you sell it cheap, let me know 🙂

Did you install the 2.1 update?
There is a 1 year warranty on it, so it should be under warranty. The normally just give you a new one as long as you sound like you know what youre doing.

Its only 10 if you are running a 1.X firmware. If you are running 2.0 or greater already its free AFAIK
Steve, if its seen by your computer chances are you can somehow recover it. Don’t sell it just yet. I can toy with it and try to fix it for you.

lol well called into work to tell them I’d be late.
Finally got it into recovery mode (took nearly 10 tries before it worked) and got it restored. How effing odd… it was out of nowhere that it happened.
The phone was literally hot enough to cook eggs on. Everything seems to be running fine now, albeit a little slow. I wonder if any of the hardware inside shit the bed
