my iphone 2g won't boot please help

i am using a second hand iphone 2g it had cydia already but i didn't like it.so i decided to restore it by itself( without a computer) now it (probably) reseted but it just wont boot! First,it shows me that logo (apple).Then it shows another spiral( the one that is when you turn your iphone off) WITH it!! yesuuh i hope THAT explains everything... then, it tuns off(automatically) and gos like that all over again

iPhone 2G-OTHER, iOS 3.0.1, it lags... a lot -.-

I have to say only one thing. DFU mode. This will allow you to restore to factory settings via iTunes. Just press the lock button and the home button together for 8 seconds (2 seconds after the screen goes off) and then leave the lock button and keep holding the home button for 10 seconds.

This should be done with revovery mode. DFU is meant for hacking the phone, and can cause problems.

What is Difference Between Recovery Mode and DFU Mode

It's not just for hacking, it may also bypass all the problems iBoot may have... as you saw. Recovery mode scares me so I don't use it 😝

The only possible "problem" iBoot has is in installing unsigned firmware. If you are "scared" of recovery mode, you don't understand it.
