Can anyone help? iPhone 3gs stuck in loop.

Hi,
My iphone 3gs had a little accident with water, it has since dried out and had a new battery. However it now decides to show the Apple logo and then turn itself off thus not being recognised by iTunes in order for me to conduct a full restore. Have tried holding the home and power button together to stop the loop but to no avail. Can anyone help? Otherwise my phone may be flyng as well as having had a swim!
Many thanks.

You could have gotten an out of warranty replacement phone for the liquid damage. Unfortunately, as soon as the phone was opened up, it became ineligible for the OOW replacement program.
Either the water damage did more than just hose the battery, or whoever replaced the battery borked the phone big time.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Help: iPhone 3GS Stuck on Apple logo screen

    Today my iPhone was not connecting to the wifi network so I decided to "Reset Network" on the iPhone. Well, during the reset, it went to the Apple logo screen and is stuck in that screen. I cannot turn off the phone, tried to reset pressing the home and on/off together for 10 seconds and it is still stuck on that screen. I tried to restore but iTunes does not recognize that the phone is plugged to the computer. Has anyone seen this? Do I have to send it to Apple for repair?

  • Help, iPhone 3GS stuck in recovery

    Whenever I connect to iTunes I get the recovery mode message, so am having to restore the phone. After 10 minutes or so of restoring, I get a message saying "The iPhone cannot be restored, an unknown error occured(1603 or 1604). One thing that occured to me is I am constantly getting the "Power surge on hub port" message whenever I startup the laptop, could this be the problem? I have an appointment to exchange the phone at the nearest apple store which is 20 miles away, but am worried it may not be the phone but my laptop.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    1604 and 1603 are actually not very specific. they kinda go under the category of "everything else"
    notice how the repair optionsa re very general.
    when i had battery issues with my phone (the battery was out of place therefore it would not turn on unless it was plugged in, and i told me to restore with itunes) it gave me error message 1604 because my iphone wouldnt reboot during the restore process and itunes didnt know why, so it put it under 1604. i ended up having to remove and then putting the battery back in manually after genius bar told me they couldnt fix it.
    No hate towards apple though, love their products. hopefully all goes well.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • Iphone 3gs no longer will work  after iOs5 update,comes up with message ' there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help me please. I am working as a volunteer in a remote location in Asia and no where near an Apple shop etc?

    I have tried to  update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
    I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode.

    Well I spoke too soon.
    The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
    Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
    +"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
    +"Cannot Get Mail+
    +THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
    Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
    Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.
