IPhone 4 went to update in iTunes, error message popped up and now iTunes refuses to recognize the phone

The other day my iMesasges stopped working so I plugged my phone into my laptop (windows) to update through iTunes. I tried to update it, but when the update was almost done an error message popped up. Now the phone will only turn on with the plug into itunes picture on the screen. iTunes will not recognize the phone -- I turned my laptop off multiple times. I've done every one of these steps multiple times http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 and nothing has worked. What can I do?
