Old iPhone 2G on USB screen cannot restore to FW 3.1.2

Hello,
I found my 1st iPhone 2G and it displays the iTunes USB screen. I have tried many different approaches (googling through) to factory restore
it on iOS 3.1.2 but no luck. iTunes gives error messages after it tries for a short period to "Preparing iPhone for restore".
I have tried the DFU mode and then Restore, or the SHIFT-Restore with an official ipsw downloaded. Nothing works!
Can somebody help me and tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
sugarakis

Hi Folks,
Has nobody suffer this issue? I think is a problem of lack of enough free RAM memory. Because I saw, with an application, how slow is the system (even stuck) if you turned ON with an application left opened.
Can anyone help me, please?

  • 3 week old iPhone 5, cracked my screen. Now what??

    My iphone 5 is just 3 weeks old, I dropped it and cracked the screen on the top near the front camera/ear-hole-thingy. If I bring it to the Apple store, what will they offer to do?
    My friend said depending on the store, sometimes they'll be really nice and replace the screen for free. Is this true? If not, how much will a new front screen cost me?

    They will sell you a replacement iphone for $229 ( in the U.S).
    Some locations can fix the screen for less than that.  Contact your local genius bar and ask.

  • I went to upload new music to my husbands phone (5c) which had never been plugged in to our computer. I accidentaly hit restore from old iphone, and now his phone is restored to his old iphone. He lost all new contacts,and photos,etc.Can he get this back?

    It replaced everything with old phots, ringtones, sounds, and his homepage for safari is different.

    Reset the phone in settings and when the set up gives you the option to back up from iTunes or iCloud. It's possible to get most of the lost information back if you back up from iCloud after resetting the phone.

  • Help! Lost iPhone 4 - Trying to restore apps & data to old iPhone 3

    Can anyone tell me what to do in easy to follow steps, I am not very good with technical stuff!
    I lost my iPhone 4 two days ago. Luckily I had backed it up on my computer the day before. I still have my old iPhone 3 and would like to restore some of my apps and their data to my old iPhone 3. I had a 32gb iPhone 4 and only have an 8gb iPhone 3, so can't do a restore of everything.
    Is there an easy way to do this? I have downloaded iPhone Backup Extractor, which I thought would help, but don't know what to do once I have extracted the application? How do I get this back onto my iPhone?
    Any help would be gratefully received!
    Thank you

    Thanks for your reply, but it does seem possible to do it bit by bit if I use this piece of software. I have managed to locate all my photos and sound recordings using back up extractor. However I would like to restore my apps and their data. I just don't know how to do this.
    I can extract the files for each app individually, so for example Angry Birds, I have a documents and a library folder. The library folder has cookies and preferences, the documents folder has lots of files for example, 2010-12-01.lua which I am guessing are for each of the levels I have done completed. How can I get these back on the phone?

    You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
    Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

  • Can my old IPhone be used to boost ram on a PC or Mac?

    Well, I have an old iPhone 3GS and soon enough this 4 will be retired as well. That being said I know that both of these devices are still quite worthy of use in various functions. I wouldn't get anything for turning them back into the store and I hope to re-use them in a different way. So my question is could I use my old phones to boost ram temporarily on my computer? I haven't found too many helpful resources for repurposing old iPhones and I love the devices.

    You can use the old iPhones as iPods. You cannot use them as RAM for
    a computer.

  • How to track my old iphone with serial number

    Hi, I recently sold my old iphone on ebay and the buyer is claiming they did not receive it. I have the serial number of my old iphone. Is there a way to track it and see if my old phone has been turned on so I can prove that the buyer did get my old iphone?

    No. A phone cannot be tracked by serial number. Did you have Find my iPhone enabled? If you didn't disable it the phone will be useless to the buyer; Activation Lock will prevent its being activated.
    Did you ship it using a carrier that provides delivery notification? Did you get the delivery notification?
