Hey all, I got an iPhone from a friend that would not turn on, so after charging it for a couple days I went to load it into itunes, itunes tells me that it is in dfu mode which means that the only option is to restore. When I try to restore it it loads everything up fine until it gets to 75% where it restores the iphone firmware. Once it gets to this spot it just stays there for hours until I unplug it and start the whole process over again. I have no idea what the previous OS version was so I can not use redsnow to load a new OS on. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to repair this, or is it junk now.
