My iPhone 3GS won't restore?
Okay I bought and old iPhone 3GS and at first it wouldn't do anything because it hadn't been used for about 2 years, nothing would work, no Wi-Fi, the apps immediately crashed, and the music wouldn't play.
So I thought an update and a restore would fix it, when I tried it gave me the "unknown error(-1)." And it is now stuck in recovery mode. I tried puttin it in DFU mode but I don't think it worked.
Anyone know how to fix it?
And i don't know if this matters but its a TMobile phone.
If it hasn't been touched in 2 years then it probably needs a new battery, batteries can't sit unused or they lose their functionality.

- IPhone 3GS won't fully turn on, stays on Apple logo, won't restore? Earlier today i was simply using twitter on my iphone when it crashed. This has happened before and it usually goes back to the apple logo and turns back on. But this time the screen remained black. I pressed the lock button and the logo appeared, only to have it turn off again, and then back on to the logo. This has been repeating now for hours. I tried restoring it in both Recovery Mode and DFU Mode and it didn't work in either. Anyone have any idea what i could try at this point?
