Iphone 3gs does not turn on after ios 6 update

After the ios6 update, my iphone 3gs does not turn on. I see the apple logo, after a minute, it boots again and i see the logo again. This process seems to continue like a circle. After a search the net, i see that i am not the only one. A quick fix and suggestions please, as i need my phone of course.
Btw, Apple, i know that this is an old hardware and i will buy the new iphone 5 when it is available here in my country in December. But of course, you claşmed this update supports my 3gs, you should immediately find a fix
Regards..

Well, i don't see an another solution possible; you should try again and again to restore. Btw, my phone seemed to operate strange (even the stock mail app began to crash) so i tried hard reset (home button + sleep/wake button until seeing the apple logo). After that i found my phone again in dfu mode this night so began restoring again now.
It seems that apple didn't tested ios6 enough with the 3GS. I have a 32 GB phone so this will be near 60 gb download from the icloud over my broadband connection.

  • Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

    My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops.  It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
    The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
    Any advice gretly appreciated.

  • Iphone 3gs does not sync music after upgrading to IOS 5

    I upgraded my Iphone 3GS to IOS 5.  This introduces Icloud. Since doing so, I have not been able to sync my music.  I get the error message "unable to sync - not enough free space (additional 8.4 GB required).  This is the same size as the music I want to load to my phone, which was fine before the upgrade.  Any help gladly received.  Thanks

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Unauthorized modification of iOS

  • Iphone 4 does not receive calls after iOS 6 update

    Hi
    can anyone help me?
    Since the iOS 6 update my wife's phone has not been working properly, every so often calls are diverted to answer phone and only register to advise of a missed call,  I have tried the following:
    restarted the phone, taken the sim card out and then back in again, reset the settings and logged in to a different apple ID.  The only thing I haven't done is to restore back to factory settings and start again.
    Has anyone else experienced this and if so were you able to correct it.
    Thanks for your time

  • My iphone 5 will not turn on after iOS 7.1.1 update last night

    I have tried to push and hold top button & home button at the same time. The phone just seems dead. It was charging all night and shouldn't be a battery problem.

    I first tried to update last night when I got home from work. It told me it couldn't update unless I had 50% or more battery life or be pluged in. So I waited until I went to bed and pluged it in to charge overnight (like I always do) and set it to update, figuring by the morning it would be finished. When I woke up this morning it was dead. I've tried plugging it into different chargers (car, work, home) but I get nothing.
    I've tried searching the internet for other sites for help, but I haven't come up with anything useful. I was hoping I could get some help here before I went to the Apple store after work.

  • Iphone 3GS won't turn on after IOS6 update.

    I updated my dad's 3GS to IOS 6
    Now, It says the update is complete, press okay
    after you do this, it then tell's you to connect to itunes.
    Then once it is connected, it takes a while to bring phone up, then phone turns off and back to apple screen.
    I have tried to reset it aswell and it still isn't working.
    What else can I do??

  • SWR50 It does not turn on after the update

    Greetings
    After the last update with PC, when trying to turn on the device, showing boot-animation, but without success. I left on for a long time.
    Repeat the update, at the moment, it is not possible ("update is not required").
    Before this device is working properly, and updated via the PC correctly.
    Earlier and now to update device used Sony PC Companion 2.1.
    Thank you for your attention.

    What if you connect the SW3 to a wall charger > press and hold power for 15 seconds > let it charge for an hour. or use PCC or Bridge to repair it.

  • Vaio Flip does not turn on after BIOS update

    Hello Community, I'm using Sony Vaio Flip 13'' (SVF13N13CXB) for about a year.Yesterday I decided to upgrade my firmware to address noisy fan etc. So I got update utility from Sony website, launched it, got prompt to reboot my PC to continue upgrading process. After rebooting I got a Vaio logo and progress indicator rolling. After reching 66% it stuck. I waited for about an hour, there was no progress, so I had to power off my PC (hold power button for 5 seconds).Now when I try to power it on using Power or Assistance buttons, it will turn on the green led, fan starts making some noise, and thats it. Screen is blank. I searched throught this site, tried to press battery button at the bottom with clip, discunnecting/connecting power adater, etc, etc. Unfortunatelly nothing helps.I assume the BIOS is now corrupted (I may be wrong although). Please can you suggest how can I recover the firmware to factory state? Thank you, Vitalii

    Hi vetooon,
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    It looks like your laptop is already corrupted. Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot your computer.
    Power Cycle the computer by poking the battery reset hole [4] for about 15-20 mins with the laptop unplug. 
    2. Plug it back in then press the power button. If issue persist proceed to the next step .
    3. Press and hold the power button for 3-5 mins or until its completely off. 
    4. Press the "ASSIST" button. When you see the "Vaio care Rescue mode" page, select F2 to go to BIOS then reset it to default. 
    5. Go back to "Vaio care Rescue mode" page, we'll check if you have a Restore Point so we can go back to an earlier date. On step #7 instead of choosing the "Recovery and Maintain" choose the Advance Option, then choose the current operating system of your pc (ex. Windows 8) 
    6. If issue still persist then click on this link and follow the instructions carefully. Please take note that on this process you will go back to factory setting and all the files will be deleted. You can seek the assistance of a professional technician to retrieve your files.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Ipad does not turn off after ios7 update

    I recently updated my ipad 2 to the iOS 7.3 update.  I left it alone to update because I knew it would take some time.  I set it up and then had to leave my ipad to take care of my baby.  I came back and it wouldn't turn on.  I figured it had run out of juice so I charged it all day today and it still won't turn on.

    Try rebooting...
    press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

  • HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

    My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2.  It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago.  I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in.  I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

    I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar.  That was the problem.
