3gs wont turn on or restore code 9

my iphone 3gs wont power on the button is broke and i tried to restore it and its saying error code 9 how do i fix this?

That phone was released in 2009, so it's 5 years old at this point. That's centuries in cell life. You can take it to an aftermarket service provider. Most cities have one who works on i-Devices. Otherwise, maybe it's time for a new phone?

Iphone 3gs wont turn on

I phone 3gs wont turn on, battery in fully charged, put it on the charger then it said connect to itunes. so put on computer the all i get is the apple sign flashing on and off and the phone wont turn on. i dont know what to do?

Where do you have it plugged into. If not a wall plug, try that vs a USB port..

Hi i have a an iphone 4 that wont turn on or restore. i managed to get it in recover mode but get error 21. the apple sign will *** on then off nd repeats..please help i dnt have warranty i brought it brand new but off the streets..

my iphone4 was workiing fine till i tried to upgrade to os7. The upgrade stopped because i didnt have enough juice and i just had lost my charger. Right after that i noticed the home button wasnt working right so i turned the phone off and attempted to tuurn it back on but nothing happened and i know i had like 20% of battery life left when i turned it off. i searched on the internet and found out i probably had to restore it. so i got it to go into recovery mode and connected it to my computer and itunes. itunes recognized the device said i had to restore it so i clicked the button. It started to do whatever it does but out of nowhere error 21 pops up.i also noticed that right before the error 21 message came up the phone did try to come on(apple came up) but then it cut right back off and repeated that over and over....i need self-help solutions because i dnt have warranty or $85 to send it in because i just paid $100. can i get it jailbroken even though it wont turn on? will that fix it? thank you for taking the time to read this even if you dont have an answer. Have a nice day people

We don't discuss jailbreaking in this Apple hosted forum, and in any case, it's never recommended. Have you tried this:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Edit: I see it looks like you've already tried this. Here's an article about specific error numbers in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694

HT201412 Iphone 3gs not turning on and restoring problem 5

Hello, my iPhone crashed it wont turn on. When im connecting it to my itunes, it ask me to restore it. Im restoring it and after while the loading screen turn off and on the i tunes the error comes up.
"The iphone iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (5)"
What should i do to get it working?.
Thank You.

You will have to restore it. It will be restored to the last backup you did when you synced with iTunes, which is why its a good idea to sync frequently.

Iphone 32G 3GS crashed during upgrade now wont turn on or restore in itunes

i was performing the latest upgrade last night (4.0 i think) and half way thru i accidentally knocked the USB cable from the laptop and the upgrade did not complete and now the phone will not turn on except to tell me to connect to itunes and when i do its wont retore the phone to the original settings either. i cannot use my phone at all - HELP!!!

I had this same problem before. You have to put your phone in DFU mode to be able to successfully restore your iPhone. I'd recommend not restoring from a backed up profile and just starting a new one when you do get it restored. For instructions on getting your phone in DFU mode, check out the following link: http://limitededitioniphone.com/how-to-put-the-iphone-into-dfu-mode/
I'd recommend one of the "Alternative Methods". The first method is tricky because the timing has to be perfect.
Just a word of advice though, I'd strongly recommend staying on iPhone OS 3.1.3 until Apple releases iOS 4.1. There is an increase of people having performance issues on the 3GS with iOS 4.0. I was one of them, but just downgraded back to 3.1.3 and am not having any of those issues any longer.
Hope this helps!

IPhone 3gs wont turn back on once it goes into sleep mode!

2 days ago my iPhone 3gs (OS 6.0.1) has gone completely wacko on me and i'm completely frustrated! I have my phone set to have the screen shut off after 5 minutes. Usually, to just reaccess the phone I just simply hit the home button. Now, if I let it go into sleep mode, the phone WILL NOT come back on! I went online and did some research, and it suggested holding the home button and the sleep button for 10 seconds to get it to come back on. It works most times, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to come back on, and when it does come back on it takes forever to load up. But the whole thing happens all over again when it goes into sleep mode. My phone is fine as long as I set it to never go into sleep mode, but it is killing my battery. I need to be able to put it into sleep mode as I have to be able to go all day without charging it at my job. PLEASE help...I don't know what's going on with it. I have never done anything to it (jailbreaking, illegal stuff, etc.) and I do all the updates that it asks to do.
Please please help!
Jennifer.

I need help on my Iphone 3gs wont turn on

Hello, I need help on my iphone 3gs won't turn on. I was travel to Asian when I charge my iphone with the USB Power Adapter about 10-20 mins and then when I check on how many percent on battery then I hear sound on the adapter. I think is shock circuit on the Power Adapter then my iphone shut down. I try to turn on but it won't turn on.when I try used another charge but still don't work. What should I do.

You either pay Apple to do it (usually you will get a replacement refurbished phone). Make sure to BACK IT UP first before taking it in. Plug into a computer that has the latest iTunes, do a sync and confirm the existence of the backup in iTunes / Preferences / Devices. If they give you a replacement, plug it back into the same computer and do a Restore to recover your stuff.
Else, DIY! i3G's are relatively easy to dismember and replace the battery. Parts and howto: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_3GS

Its a brand new iPad,
its stuck in recovery mode, it says restore and update but it wont restore/ update because i get error 1601, How do i fix this problem ??? it wont even turn on please help?

If it were in recovery mode, you would see this
If its just a blank black screen, follow these steps
Will not turn on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions.   If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage.   If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check    if the Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) in the headset jack or dock connector is activated or there are signs of corrosion or debris. Learn more about LCIs.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See   "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
If something other than the Home screen or Low Battery screen appears on the display, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, try resetting it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Restore the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

I Phone 3GS wont turn on

Alright so two days ago my iphone worked just fine. Around lunch it would not turn on I had about 20 battery when I checked in the morning so I thought it was just dead. When I went home to plug it in for a little bit, it would not turn on any more. So I tried to do a reset (Holding Lock & Home buttons) and nothing happened. So I plugged it into my computer. It says "Your iphone has been detected in recovery mode. You must restore" or something in that nature. So I click "Restore & Update" and it goes to do it but i get an error "Error 21" and then my iphone screen goes all white. Nothing else helps like resets. Im currently trying to let it die but it has been unpluged for 2 days and still has not died when it was at 20% on thursday morning. So I am going to leave it to die and try again on monday at around 4pm but if it dose not work what could this be
Note - I may have had a snow ball hit me and some snow dampen the area around my pocket were my phone was but the phone was not even wet and it had a case and screen cover on it so I do not think its water damged
Also - The phone when i recived it was jailbroken but worked fine with updates & syncs for over 12 months untill this happen

Ipod 4g touch is not recognized by computer and wont turn on or restore

I bought and ipod touch off a friend because he had drained the battery and forgot his passcode. I charged it in my car and he entered the wrong passcode too many times so it said ipod disabled connect to itunes. And then it shut off. I have not been able to turn it on since. I tried connecting it to my computer. My computer won't even recognize it. I tried to restore it. Nothing happened. And then while i t was still plugged in, the apple logo screen flashed on and off for about 5 minutes. After that, nothing. Any ideas? I called apple support and they couldn't help because I don't have the serial number. For some reason it is not on the back of the ipod.
