Anyone know how to fix - have exact same problem, but no water damage...
tried everything, recovery, dfu, mac / pc, itunes 8 / 9, 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.2... Nothing works, same behavior in all cases.

Thx in advance

I have seen this same problem on many 1 Gen iPhones. i usually replace the comm board and it works fine. I believe it is due to a corrupted baseband.

Error 23. Some say hardware problem some say try flash wed firmware 2.2 or uninstal itune etc.
Try and use WINPWN,2.5 BETA. Use file CUSTOM_IPHONE.1,2_2.0.2_5C1_RESTORE. May be this can work. Any other option ?
