iPhone 1 recovery fail in iTunes/Finder

After erasing all content and settings the phone isn't booting into the system and just shows apple logo. After some time a loading animation appears on top of the apple logo and after some more time the phone reboots and the whole cycle repeats again. I booted it into recovery mode and tried to recover system using iTunes and Finder. Both of them said that the phone was booted into recovery. However they could not recover the phone with the following message "This iPhone was previously in DFU mode, but was rebooted and is no longer in DFU mode. To restore this iPhone from DFU mode, turn it off and put it back into DFU mode". I rebooted the phone in DFU mode (the black screen mode) and both of the apps recognized the booting with something like "iTunes(Finder) app detected iPhone in DFU mode...", but when i tried to recover the system i got the same message saying "This iPhone was previously in DFU mode...". I tried many times. I also unplugged and plugged the cable to check if the phone really was in DFU mode and again both of the apps said that it was booted in DFU mode. None of the apple guides helped. Are there any solutions or the only way is to contact apple support?

It sounds like you're facing a frustrating situation with your iPhone 1 recovery attempts, and I'm here to help you troubleshoot.

Firstly, encountering the Apple logo followed by a loading animation repeatedly indicates that your iPhone is stuck in a boot loop, which can happen after a factory reset or other software-related issues.

Since you've already tried recovery mode and DFU mode, let's explore some additional troubleshooting steps:

Check Your Connection: Ensure that your iPhone is connected securely to your computer via a USB cable, and that your computer recognizes the device. Sometimes, using a different cable or USB port can resolve connectivity issues.
Update iTunes/Finder: Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes or Finder, as outdated software may encounter compatibility issues with newer iOS versions.
Check for Hardware Issues: If your iPhone still fails to restore after multiple attempts, there may be underlying hardware issues causing the problem. In this case, I recommend contacting Apple Support or visiting an authorized service provider for further assistance.
Consider Third-Party Tools: If traditional methods like iTunes and Finder are unsuccessful, you might explore third-party software solutions designed for iOS data recovery. However, exercise caution and research thoroughly to ensure you choose a reputable and trustworthy tool.
Restore from iCloud Backup: If you have previously backed up your iPhone to iCloud, you can try restoring your device from an iCloud backup. This method can help you recover your data without relying on iTunes or Finder.

I understand how frustrating it can be to encounter such issues with your iPhone, but don't lose hope. By following these steps and seeking assistance from Apple Support if needed, you'll hopefully be able to resolve the issue and regain access to your device. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance!
