Very informational, helpful, and straight to the point. Not to mention the ONLY helpful video on youtube that was easy to find. Thank you so much! You just saved me a lot of money. Liked the video! :) Keep up the great work!
What I did was first disconnecting it from the battery and then pressing the power button 3-4 times in order to squeeze out any left over power. Waiting just a couple of minutes then putting everything back together --> NO MORE ITUNES ERROR 28 !! :) :) :)
I just can't believe this - but it's TRUE ! My iPhone is back to LIVE !!! Please let me know your PayPal address so I can send you money for a beer !!
Will this work for my iPad 1? I have no idea how it broke, but it was jailbroken and just stoped working. So please help or give me another tip. Thank you.
PLEASE NOTE! If you have a 3G and not 3GS, don't try and lift the black plastic on ribbon 3. Instead, lift the white part on the opposite side of the black part. (Using a needle and be careful not to snap it off when you lift it up.) When its lifted, slide ribbon 3 into the black side, make sure to slide it until it stops, don't have to put much pressure, when its in, then close the white latch which will close the black part or the pins under it securing that ribbon.
Ty,i realy works.I don't know how you find this out but it realy works I cannot belive it.I broked some conectors(nr 6 the wifi conector) but overall it works and now i'm restoring it to version 5.0.1.Thank you and I apreciate you work.I will post an video of my Iphone disection :)) it was an very had one:))
To get the screen off, a good screen removal tool is a GPS bracket / handsfree from your car as it has a suction cup :) Cheers for the video on the breakdown. This fixed my Error 28 :)
what if i do all what you do but still stuck in the same error 28. after i jeilbreak my iphone to 4.3.5 the new one and i turn it off this error come. please tell me if there is something i have to do.
Hi thanks that help but one think don't need keep off for 1.5h just for 30 sec. soon you disconnect battery press power but 2 or 3 times that's lose power left in cycle then left for 30 sec , that's how you reset system. Then put it back together and work for me fine. Big thank for you. Cheers.
will it work, as everytime I try to restore, it gives error 28, and if I use iReb gives 1600 error/with tinyumbrella, without which i get error 3194....
well error 28 could me more then removing the logic board, if this doesn't work the duck connector could be bad, if that's ok the disk drive could gone.
@kwik13a sure, your not pointing out anything new, first of all as i said a few times in the video. this is for the software problem of error 28, OR if this doesn't work. then its a hardware problem. connector and SSD, ect.
all fit in the Hardware description. also the iPhones, iPods, iPads, all those don't have a hard Disk, they have a SSD, Solid State Drive. just saying ;)
I was very skeptic of opening my iphone for the first time but honetly I think its worth the try to get your phone back up and running. smoke a cigarette, blunt or drink alil brew to bring down the anxiety then pull out your eye glass screw driver... if you dont have one go to the nearest CVS or walgreen. If you have a suction cup in your bath tube you may need that to pull up your lcd glass. under the glass there are 7 screws that are numbered. unscrew in order then life up the board 2 dischrge
so hey kid i was wondering how can i fix my ipod touch 2nd gen 16bg , it keeps erro 28 on my ipod... it there way i can fix it ...and my ipod keep not working keep making to restore why? when ever i am play games or music it keep shouting off.. grrl help me .. do u thing the software or the mother-bored is broken ?
@Lorelai2LOL Wow nice spelling Kid. so anyways, You can't fix it. like I've told people before. Error 28 = Hardware Problem. IF YOU JAILBREAK this fix applies to you. You didn't say anything about Jailbreaking.
I've taken iPod's Apart Before, its not the same as an iPhone at all. Out of all my viewers probably none could follow how to do it. (Without Breaking)
IF you jailbreak. you need to run this fix. if you don't it means you have a Hardware Problem. it cant be fixed. Get a new iPod kid
@joe746308674 I dropped my iPhone 3GS, and it just went to the DFU mode, it was jailbroken and unlocked on 4.1 and iPad base band 6.15.00, is there a solution for this conflict? Thanks, please reply.
@Zachriah1 you can try, but the liklyness is that it wont work and its a real hardware problem, therefore giving you error 28, but if you have a warranty i wouldn't try and just bring it over to Apple, they will fix it, but if you don't, your pretty much out of luck, might as well try then cause it might be your only hope.
Hey bro,i need your help badly,my iphone was running on ios 4.1 and i tried to upgrade it to 4.2.1 and it worked,it had 70% battery and then suddenly after few hours when i looked at it,it was dead. i cant even restore it back now. error 28 shows up. please save my iphone 3gs :(. its whole black screen nothing else. :(.
Hey bro,i need your help badly,my iphone was running on ios 4.1 and i tried to upgrade it to 4.2.1 and it worked,it had 70% battery and then suddenly after few hours when i looked at it,it was dead. i cant even restore it back now. error 28 shows up. please save my iphone 3gs :(.
Oh that makes me feel better, but hey since the 3g iphone is different then my 2g so should i just dissasemble with the screws on the back side, unplug all cords that unplug, and where do i put in the pencil? Thank you for your previous reply
yo joe if for a 3g iphone u have to disconnect the battery from the motherboard do have to un solder(melt the metal) on the connecter cords and solder them back together? please help!
@sweeper0718 no you dont. i didnt do it so theres no need i dont know what you'd solder back the battery just lies on top of the mother board and the connectors just snap in like in the video
so thanks your video i followed your instructions and it worked. but ive had to do this 2 times now. as of right now i have my iphone taken apart with a pencil in under the battery because it happened again... but thank you
@christiantheambition if your getting this problem over and over again it much be something your installing i see the comment under this says you got your first error with a jailbreak? maybe try an other jailbreaking tool it shouldn't make a difference but if it doesnt then whats the problem? if it does you wont have this problem again you never know most of the time it doesnt happen again so youll need to inform me on that and look into it
i jailbroke my iphone 3gs newboot 4.2.1 with redsn0w and it messed up and the screen would turn completely white for about 7 seconds, then yellow, than transform into a bad quality pixely weird color and stay like that, and it would stay in dfu mode other than that. so i tried restoring with itunes and it gave me error 28.
I have bought an iphone 3gs and it was already in "connect to itunes" error.
When I connect it to itunes it tells me the my iphone is up to date, so I think it was in 4.2.1 and when restoring it it gives me the error 28.
I have done exactly what you have said in the video... First time, I got the error 40 when restoring 4.1 with itunes, I tried again and it gave me the error 28, then i did disconnect the battery again and right now it keeps telling me error 28.
@TheInuyashaFan917 im sorry this will NOT work on ANY ipod taking apart an ipod is nothing like taking a part an iphone. ive done it an ipod is almost too hard to do anything inside. im sorry this will not work on your ipod touch. if you are determined to open it. find someone who open ipods for a living like an iphone/ipod repair store not apple. they will have the best chance to open it disconnect the battery and fixing your problem.
sorry but it doesn't work for me, maybe i was wrong, i disconect the battery from motherboard, and then i put a pencil like you do on video and then 6 hours later im trying to put on itunes but the same error came in.... i'm doing right??? or how suppose to do?
@WiZoOo23 i would need more info on what type of iphone you have on what system... MB or MC and how you think it got to that error... i can look into it and get back to you
This is a shocker Joe...I have an iPhone 3g giving the same error. When i try to jailbreak it, it stops at DOWNLOADING data to hard drive. With itunes it gives error 28. :-) let me try you guide and come back at ya
You ROCK! I've been stuck in a DFU loop, nothing worked, not IREB, umbrella, nothing. Kept on getting error 28 until I came across your video. Thank you so much again.
@ajeet229 no i do believe someone else asked the same question. conformationally the answer is no your battery is probably dead already, your battery had a discharge on the motherboard and as long as its connected it keeps the charge active so you need to unplug and wait for it to be used up and the only way is by disconnecting it from everything else.
This fix worked for me on error code 6! So don't give up (I tried at least 20 times before I tried Joel's fix)! I opened my iPhone like Joel describes in his video and then I restored and it worked:-) This guy's a genius! He's the only one on youtube with this method, so try it!
@cngohms kinda. jailbreaking is legal now so it doesn't void the warranty anymore BUT it can void the warrenty what i am is that if your iphone is under warrenty and you break it like a broken screen or it just stops working they will replace it even if its jailbroken because of the warranty. but if your iphone is jailbroken and it stoped working because of the jailbreak then you cant. and because error 28 is because of spirit2pwn they cant fix it without you paying 180$ or more if its not under
hey man great vid this help me big time i was trying to jailbreak my iphone 3gs to the new firmware and i installed spirit2pwn and i couldnt get out of recovery mode it wouldnt let me restore and i was hopeless and at first i didnt think your vid wasnt gonna work but it did this vid helped alot thanks man
@KIRI3IW no your battery is probably dead already. your battery had a discharge on the motherboard some how. and the only way you can kill it is by disconnecting it from everything else. sorry waiting just wont help.
need help i got stuck in dfu and connect to itunes is not appeared in screen when i restore only lights is comming out as u said same thing happen when i install that spirit2pwn in cydia, i try to follow your video maybe this weekend hope it will work
@KENDELKRAM please let me know and like the video if you need help just comment back and this worked for hundreds of people so im sure we can make it work.
@joe746308674 i got it fix i just get a hard time returning it coz i damage the rubber on the side a little bit but its now great thanks for that but im a little afraid now to try my 3gs to jailbreak it lol...
@KENDELKRAM just use the limera1n jailbreak... dont install spirit2pwn or JBme2pwn and sn0wbrezze thats no good anymore i would just say go to the limera1n site like i did and jailbreak it with that... unless you need an unlock. then i would say sn0wbrezze to retain your baseband but if your already on 4.1 then just use the limera1n. happy it worked out.. like the video if you can thanks joe
Guys this video works for error 28! I have proven it. My phone is already back to life. Spirit2Pwn has destroyed a lot of iphones. Avoid it! you'll end up voiding your warranty ( if you still have) Good luck
I wasn't able to find a way around it.. once you get it back together (if you can... that #3 is a bear to get back on, so be VERY CAREFUL), you should be able to install your ipsw the first time. I couldn't believe it.
@joe726308674, putting #3 back on was the hardest step, hands down. i actually ended up breaking off the black part... oops.. hope it still works.. hahaha.
@gerritjoertel lol yes it should still work just dont break the white part because then it wont work again.. but yes just the black wont be a problem and im happy it worked out in the end. please like my video if you can.
this may not work with mine but its the best video on utube of this he explains everything un like most others

To disconnect the battery from the motherboard u just need to unplug number 5, you don't need to remove the motherboard screws for this.

Hi
If removing err 28 is only to disconnect the Mother board from the Battery can i try letting th ebattery dry dead ...
Would appriciate if you could reply today itself.
ajeet229 1 year ago
@ajeet229 no i do believe someone else asked the same question. conformationally the answer is no your battery is probably dead already, your battery had a discharge on the motherboard and as long as its connected it keeps the charge active so you need to unplug and wait for it to be used up and the only way is by disconnecting it from everything else.

This fix worked for me on error code 6! So don't give up (I tried at least 20 times before I tried Joel's fix)! I opened my iPhone like Joel describes in his video and then I restored and it worked:-) This guy's a genius! He's the only one on youtube with this method, so try it!

@cngohms kinda. jailbreaking is legal now so it doesn't void the warranty anymore BUT it can void the warrenty what i am is that if your iphone is under warrenty and you break it like a broken screen or it just stops working they will replace it even if its jailbroken because of the warranty. but if your iphone is jailbroken and it stoped working because of the jailbreak then you cant. and because error 28 is because of spirit2pwn they cant fix it without you paying 180$ or more if its not under

@KIRI3IW no your battery is probably dead already. your battery had a discharge on the motherboard some how. and the only way you can kill it is by disconnecting it from everything else. sorry waiting just wont help.

@KENDELKRAM please let me know and like the video if you need help just comment back and this worked for hundreds of people so im sure we can make it work.
joe746308674 1 year ago
@joe746308674 i got it fix i just get a hard time returning it coz i damage the rubber on the side a little bit but its now great thanks for that but im a little afraid now to try my 3gs to jailbreak it lol...
KENDELKRAM 1 year ago
@KENDELKRAM just use the limera1n jailbreak... dont install spirit2pwn or JBme2pwn and sn0wbrezze thats no good anymore i would just say go to the limera1n site like i did and jailbreak it with that... unless you need an unlock. then i would say sn0wbrezze to retain your baseband but if your already on 4.1 then just use the limera1n. happy it worked out.. like the video if you can thanks joe
joe746308674 1 year ago
Guys this video works for error 28! I have proven it. My phone is already back to life. Spirit2Pwn has destroyed a lot of iphones. Avoid it! you'll end up voiding your warranty ( if you still have) Good luck

I wasn't able to find a way around it.. once you get it back together (if you can... that #3 is a bear to get back on, so be VERY CAREFUL), you should be able to install your ipsw the first time. I couldn't believe it.
@joe726308674, putting #3 back on was the hardest step, hands down. i actually ended up breaking off the black part... oops.. hope it still works.. hahaha.
gerritjoertel 1 year ago
@gerritjoertel lol yes it should still work just dont break the white part because then it wont work again.. but yes just the black wont be a problem and im happy it worked out in the end. please like my video if you can.
