Title:

iPhone wont fully restore, stuck in recovery mode (code 29)

Text:

Just got an iPhone 3gs model A1303 from an old friend in school. She said it was water damaged and the screen was unresponsive. The screen is in fact unresponsive. I am attempting to restore the iPhone before I even attempt to replace the screen. Of course my hopes weren't high considering there is water damage.

I attempted to restore the iPhone two times so far and the first time it didn't finish,, the second time it did, but resulted in a message saying the phone could not be restored, with "error 29" or "code 29" I don't remember. I dont see it being financially beneficial to purchase and install a new logic board for such an old phone. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot
