    Basically, I want to get it back to a point where I can take it into an Apple Store and pay £120 for a repair if necessary.

    Apparently they won't do it if the phone has been hacked in any way. I'm worried I've blown my chance of a repair.

    Sorry for the slow reply, you've probably got it sorted by now. I'm in Preston and/or Burnley. :)

    Does it look sorted? :)

    What would you charge for a report?
    I'm based in Brussels (Awkwardly) but working in Wigan on Saturday and end of March. How long would an inspection take?

    Also. Presumably, now I've been !!!!ing about with Tiny Umbrella, any report is pretty useless now anyway? No?

    I've yet to see an iPhone that I couldnt recover from "bricked" state. although a 3GS that had a faulty logic board that only reared its head on iOS 4.2 was an interesting one.

    What iOS version did you try sending to the phone?
    What iOS version were you on before?
    Are you on a MAC (I see this being mentioned) and which OSX version (Id assume Lion)?
    What state is the phone currently in? DFU mode, the connect usb cable screen or just dead?

    Original error 1611 on attempted restore when it first stopped working (2 weeks ago)

    Sent iPhone2,1_4.3.5_8L1_Restore, (Tiny Umbrella) got error 11

    Attempted restore in iTunes. Got- "The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

    Sent iPhone2,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore (Tiny Umbrella) to try to get it back to where it was. Got 'Could not connect to Apple server'

    Unchecked Request SHSH from Cydia in Tiny Umbrella. Tried in DFU mode. Still can't connect to server.

    It was on the latest. 5.notsure
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 SnowLeopard

    When it first stopped working, I got the USB screen.
    Now if I try to restore in iTunes, it starts restoring, I get the apple logo and progress bar screen on phone. Now it hangs while restoring iPhone software.

    And there's no cancel option anywhere. What do I do? Just unplug it?

    Unplugged it. Got the USB screen.
    Plugged USB back in again, clicked restore.
    Phone seems to fully restore then restarts then hangs on Apple screen
