Iphone only turns on when plugged in?
Hi, I dropped my iphone 3gs (ios 6.1.6, jailbroken). Since it turned on twice but never went passed the apple logo, then I tried plugging it in to the wall, and it turned on once and went to the home screen and was fully functionnal, but as I unplugged it it went straight back off. I have tried plugging it into Itunes, at first it doesn't recognize it, but if I put it into DFU mode it recognizes an Iphone in recovery mode. I have also tried restoring many times (with ireb, with a custom firmware from snowbreeze) but everytime I get different errors (1602, 3194.). Now, when I plug it into the wall it seems to be in a boot loop, it doesn't go to the home screen, and everytime I look it is either on the apple logo, or black and is turning back on again. And still turns straight off when I unplug from wall.
Please, any help would be much appreciated. I'm dying to use my phone!
Sounds like your going to need to replace the battery. This is a common thing lithium ion batteries do.
I would say that the battery has dropped a cell, most phone repair shops can replace it but read the contract they make you sine. I know of one person that signed the contract and it said they had 48 hours to pick up the phone or they would keep it.
- Why will my iPhone only charge when plugged into my laptop? I've swapped cords, outlets etc. It's just something with the darn phone. Help! To explain further I have swapped outlets, cord etc. This means that I have taken another iphone and a different charger and attempted to charge them. Other iphones work, just not mine, Mine will only charge at my laptop.
- Water damaged Iphone 4s only works when plugged in to charger? So, I have a water damaged iphone 4s that works perfectly fine, except for the fact that it only turns on when it is connected to a power outlet. The screen works fine when connected and I can access menus and videos and such, but when I unplug it, it immediately turns off. I already changed the battery from another iphone to this one, but it still does the same thing. Anyone know what to do?
- Verizon iphone 4 only works when plugged in? My girlfriends verizon iphone 4 only works when it is plugged in. The battery is new because we had it replaced recently… The only thing is that it only comes on when it is plugged in. Can it be something loose? Because it was taken apart before?
- My iPhone only turns on via Redsn0w after being Jailbroken? I jailbroke my iphone and had a bit of a hard time, but I ended up getting it done. After Jailbreak was done it got stuck on the apple logo so I used Redsn0w to turn it back on. Ever since then everytime it dies/turns off, or reboots, it won't turn on by itself. I have to plug it in to the computer, pull up redsn0w and "Just boot"… How can I fix it so it'll turn on normally again?!
