History:
0. I have (had) an iphone 2G running v2.2.1
1. I clicked on (Reset all settings and data) :ashamed: .
2. The phone took about an hour before it came to the screen "with the cable and connect to itunes logo".
3. Then I tried to install firmware version 2.2.1 .. the process seemed to proceed normally until it reached 100% .. it took about 20mins there and then it hung up for 20mins .. suspecting a problem I unplugged the cable and tried to do it again.
4. After a couple of failed attempts it worked again ...but hung up at 100%.

After that it has been all downhill .. the phone now restarts (at the point where the progress bar on the phone is displayed) everytime I try to install a firmware.

So far I have tried using the following firmwares:
v2.2.2
v2.0
v1.1.4
2.2.0.2
v2.0.2

I get the following error "The phone could not be restored error(6)". I am running Windows Vista Home Premium x64.

I tried doing this on a friends PC with Windows XP SP3 .. same problem.

Went to Alpha at VileParle ... same problem on their PC...the phone just would not accept a firmware and restarted when the firmware is just about to be pushed in.
The suggests that its a problem with the mainboard and needs to be replaced (for 4.5k).

pls help :(
 
Guys, I helped him do a restore over the phone

I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the mobo

I have suggested the following steps (preferably on a OS X machine)

- Get in DFU mode

- Install original 2.2 firmware via iTunes

- Create custom firmware on pwnage tool

- Put in DFU mode

- Restore with custom firmware

If even that does not work (basically stuck at step 2), then it's a corrupt filesystem or nvram which can be verified and fixed via iRecovery

If someone in Bombay can help him out, that would be great
