Possibility, the USB cable is fraying a little. But it charges without cutting off and on. Gonna order a new one anyways.

3.0.1 fixes that SMS exploit that affected iPhone OS, Android, and WinMo...

I've updated mine last weekend (and didn't need to resync). Did you try a different USB port/cable? Maybe it kept disconnecting during the upgrade?

What does 3.0.1 do apart from stopping redsn0w working for a few days?

Nevermind i've done it now :lol: 9-10th attempt :mad:

I just kept trying last time and it did it after 4-5 goes. Got to like 8 this time and it really pissed me off.

Yeah it wouldn't force restart or nothing, was just completely blank.

Syncing 2000+ songs, videos and pictures now :(

have you got the latest version of itunes?


Dom

Had this problem as well, i tried manually restoring the device (download the firmware, and left-click the restore button in iTunes and it'll allow you to open a local copy of the firmware for flashing to the iPhone) but did nothing (some say it worked for them). Only way i manage to my iPhone to restore was to do it on an older system - so install iTunes on a different computer and see how you get on :thumbs:

Have you tried holding both buttons? Forcing it to reset?

How did we fix it last time?

Yeah yeah, it's in the wrong section but i could do with a quick answer if there is one.

Plugged my iPhone 3G into my laptop today and it said it needed updated (OS 3.0.1) so i proceded as you do, but it kept failing.

Comes up 'restoring iPhone firmware' on iTunes, gets about 3/4s across on the phone then comes up with an error saying please try again.

Done it 5-6 times and it cancels half way, done it twice, and got 2/3s across and just done it then, got most the way, said its completed then went back to the please restore page :mad:

What should I do? Just keep trying?

Ta.
