I put my iPhone 4 on charge at the side of my bed, just like every other night. I woke in the morning to an "iPhone has just crashed" screen with the options to Restart or go into Safe Mode. I chose to restart then the phone went into recovery mode and I can't seem to fix it no matter what I try.

The iPhone wont restore or update on iTunes because it keeps getting different errors such as "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (1611). " and other numbers such as 1604, 1601, 14.. etc. It was jailbroken with Redsn0w and is on iOS 5.0.1 and has worked fine up until 2 days ago when it crashed but because of this I cannot take it to an apple store to get it fixed.

I searched Google and many forums to see if people have the same problem but everything I've tried hasn't worked. I've tried to fix it with Redsn0w, Black Ra1n and Tiny Umbrella but since I cannot get the phone into DFU mode none of them worked. I've tried to plug the phone into different USB ports and I've tried on 3 different computers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

DFU Mode always works, the screen is not showing anything in this mode, just iTunes will recognize it. It is impossibly broken since it is hardware

Hi Sam, thanks for getting back to me on this.

My iPhone shows the connect to iTunes logo, but no matter what buttons I push or what order I push them in, it just goes back to the connect to iTunes logo like it is in a permanent loop.

I can't get into DFU mode nor can I get it to stay on a black screen whilst its plugged in.
