Hi All,

I have very weird, and serious problem with my iPhone (not 3G one).

It doesn't operate in network (or country...) it was purchased in, so i was running on it firmware jailbroken and unlocked 1.1.3, and then 1.1.4 (with iLiverty+) and bootloader downgraded from 4.6 to 3.9. Everything worked perfect.

Last week, just after Pwned 2.0 was released, being on holidays, i decided to upgrade it to 2.0. So i did, and phone seemd to work great. It charged and synchronized with no problems.

I came back from my holidays yesterday and eventually after 3 days of using 2.0 firmware got to connect the phone to wi-fi. Cydila reported 10 new updates, including some core something... and recomended to install them. So i did...

Everything went fine, until my phone's battery start dying (20%), and i decided to connect it to my PC. for some reason, however, there was no device connected sound, iTunes didn't start up, phone didn't charge. I restarted laptop few times, restarter iPhone. no luck. So i decide to try with my MacBook, but also with no luck. iTunes, iLiberty, or even operating system doesn't see iPhone, and iPhone can't see PC...

I decided to connect iPhone to my iPod speakers. iPhone sees device, even plays music though it. but doesn't charge. as far as i remember, it never this on those speakers, so fair enough... seems like connector is working though

I tried to put phone info DFU several times, with no luck. for some reason, when i hold Menu and power button, after screens go dark, even though i still hold the buttons, phone begin to start up in regular mode. I tried few different ways, with no luck obviously, since iTunes doesn't see iPhone, on any PC, Restore is not an option...

eventyally battery drained completly, now if i press power button i'm getting red battery icon and symbols to connect phone to power source. when i connect it to any of the computers - nothing. interestingly enough when i connect iphone to wall charger, the screen comes on, and the red battery and request for power are showing up for few seconds. it doesn't charge however...

I completly have no idea what's wrong and what can i possibly do...

any suggestions? anything apart from thowing phone out the window?

Please, help!!!
