Iphone Woes

Well Im having Iphone problems. I got it wet in the washing machine....but not too wet....I took it out and took it apart and it didnt have any water in it or anything like that but I dried it out with a blow dryer after opening it up and put it in a bag of rice for a few days...then I turned it on and used it for a few days....made calls with it and received calls with it.....the only problem I was having with it was that every once in a while I would notice it restarting itself. Then after a few days it would do it more and more often. So I looked up the problem on the net and everyone pretty much had done the same thing when they had this problem. They hooked it up to Itunes and restored it. So i hooked mine up to I tunes and hit the restore button. It started restoring it but about 3/4's of the way thru it stopped and said it had an error 29 and that the phone needed to be restored again. So I tried it again and again. It will not restore and whats more , the phone will not forget about it. It still will only show you a picture of a USB plug on the screen and says Itunes. Ive looked at youtube and this seems to be a common problem ....iphones getting stuck in recovery mode.....Ive tried several different things but none has worked yet.......I should have left it alone and taken it to the store to be restored and let them put it into its present unusable condition.....so that they might feel obligated to fix it.....so im pretty bummed about it. ....trying to figure out what to do.....
