Error in ios 5.0.1 update. Iphone stoped working

After connecting to my pc I was doing the update to ios5.0.1 to my iphone. A error returned and now my iphone is "dead". I can't do anything, itunes don't reconize it, i can not turn it on (or off - the screen shows the apple and nothing more...) Help?

I was able to fix my iPhone 4s on Windows 7 using this procedure:
Hold down power button and home button to do a hard reset
After this iTunes recognized my phone and tried to do a restore but failed again. At that time I updated iTunes from 10.5.0 to 10.5.1 and restarted my computer.
After restart I started iTunes and plugged in iPhone and it restored the phone to factory settings with the 5.0.1 update
Then I went through the iPhone setup and at the end said to restore from backup
For whatever reason after restore from backup is still wasn't working but iTunes recognized it as my phone and somehow my backup got overwritten with the new restore so all my data was lost since iTunes only keeps one backup.
Before going through this process I would suggest making a copy of your latest iTunes backup according to this link:
http://www.monkeedev.co.uk/blog/2010/03/11/managing-multiple-iphone-backups-thro ugh-itunes/
I retrieved an iTunes backup from about 10 days ago from my PC file system backup and then did another restore using that backup. I got everything back to the state is was in 10 days ago but lost any changes between then and now.

Plug it into your computer running iTunes and click the check for updates button if you're not prompted to update it automatically.
You must be running iTunes 10.7 on your computer.

TS1538 Ios 5.1.1 update did not work

The update did not work. I downloaded the udpate last night, through ITunes and did the update this afternoon.
The phone hung during the update, and now only shows the connect to itunes on the screen. Itunes does not see the phone.
When I look in the device manager, I see the drives listed in the Other Devices, and there are two of them listed as "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) Tried to update them, but the dirives are no longer on my pc, where Apple said that they should be.
I am clueless now.
The last update had a simular problem.
This is an IPhone 4

Then you should try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. This should replace the drivers. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library, data or your iPhone backup.

The middle button on my iphone stoped working and i think it is stuck because when i restart it , it goes straight to voice commands. how do i make it work again?

The middle button on my iphone stopped working and i think it is stuck down because whenever i restart it the voice command thing comes right up, like when you hold the middle button down for a few seconds. How do i make it work again?

If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

Iphone 3GS gets -1 error on iOS 6.0.1 update??

Hello everyone!
I have a iphone 3GS (fully legit, no jailbreaks, no funny business) and decided to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 (or the lastest version of 6). Everything went fine and dandy until the update reached the "restoring firmware on the iPhone" stage... Both the itunes and the iphone's progress bars were full and stood there being full for over 15 minutes, until the software decided to present me with an error box!
I got a -1 error and the description was that my hardware was faulty or damaged (or something). That came as a surprise to me, since my hardware was fine just before I started this nonsense... So, I surfed the web, looked at forum posts, tried a couple of things (tinyUmbrella, different OS) and so far no luck, now my phone is stuck on a recovery cycle and everytime I get the same error.
I have tried:
-Updating iTunes
-Rebooting
-Different OS
-TinyUmbrella (to force out of recovery)
-Restarting the phone on DFU
-Restarting the phone without DFU
-Doing the update over and over
-Checked for any "third-party" software that might offend iTunes (nothing, all pure and proper for OSX so far)
Nothing worked/improved the situation.
I'm tempted to try:
-Banging the phone against the wall
-Screaming at it
-Putting it away forever and just use my Nexus S full-time
-Calling a Vodoo Doctor
-Calling a Wiccan
-Calling the Ghostbusters
Most of these would ease my pain for sure! If only android had a nifty app to follow the stock market and a handy-dandy "notes" app...oh wait...
...I guess stunts like this might explain why the market share just won't grow now won't they Apple?? I mean common, this takes the concept of "full system upgrade" a bit too far!
Seriously now, at this point I'm considering to take this hunk of not-so-good apple hardware to my local "handy-fixEverything-techGuy" or even to an Apple Store to ask a quote for a hardware repair...Or just to make a big fuss about how the phone was working well before this very nice system update and now it's a paperweight with touchscreen! However I fear that it will be rather pointless, since I'm not willing to pay more than $50 to get whatever this might have broken fixed, and they will ask me for more than that. I might give it a shot anyway...
So, any ideas? Did overlook any potential solution or cause for my problem?
All input is welcome and thanks in advance for reading.

I believe that all iPhones, purchased in Egypt, from official sources, are sold as carrier locked. So, your phone was hacked by someone so you could use it in Germany. Sorry, but that's what happens to hacked iPhones.
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple, and since none of the carriers in Egypt offer official unlocking, your choices are not good.

No network, WiFi, 3G after iOS 7.0.6 Update (iPhone 4s)

Following my update to iOS 7.0.6 which completed with no apparent problems, my phone has lost all connectivity to my network, WiFi and 3G services.
'Carrier Settings' no longer appears in my Settings menu, and in 'About' I cannot view IC, or IMEI number - they appear to have disappeared. Furthermore, Network appears as "Not available".
Instead of 'Sim Fault', 'No Sim', or carrier information in the top left of the screen I have 'Searching' instead.
I have spoken to my network provider who cannot provide me an answer, and instead have pointed me in the direction of Apple.
I have attempted the following thus far with no result:
Soft reset - same result
Recovery mode reset - same result
Reset all settings and content - Not possible as cannot verify Apple ID password with no internet connectivity
Reset carrier settings - same result
Restore iPhone via iTunes - Not possible as cannot turn off Find My iPhone, cannot verify Apple ID to turn off function without internet connectivity
Attempted different sim in same phone - no change, 'Searching' still present in top left and no WiFi / 3G
Please if anyone can offer any support in this matter I would greatly appreciate it.

I just updated from iOS 7.0.4 to 7.0.6 and now my carrier signal is UNSTABLE. It will have a complete signal with 3G, and then after a few seconds the 3G signal will be lost and then the carrier symbol will be lost, and then the signal bar will decrease from 5 bars to no signal at all and then just repeat the cycle. I can receive messages but only when the signal is complete. I'm very frustrated coz i also use mg 3G connection as my internet through tethering but since the signal is unstable, i can't use it properly!

Error -5000 when trying to backup/update iphone

what is the error? and any advice on how to fix it?

I had the -5000 error when trying to update the iPhone 4 to the 5.0 OS. Make sure you do a Sync for your iPhone first. The following worked for me: disable all antivirus and firewall settings, then on the iPhone turn OFF the location services setting (Location Services is located in Settings). Now click update in iTunes. Hope this helps. Worked like a charm for me. Don't forget to enable your antivirus and firewall when you have finished updating the iPhone.

How to update iPhone 4 to iOS 7, How to update iPhone 4 to iOS 7

I want to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 or higher. It is currently on 4.2.6/I reset & erased it and then connected it to my Mac so I could update it in iTunes. Then, when I pressed "update to 7.0.3" it told me to update iTunes. I downloaded the recent iTunes and when I pressed install, it said to update my Mac to OX 6.8 or higher. When I looked up how to update my Mac, it said I needed to pay money to buy the Snow Leopard. Do I seriously need to buy something I don't need just to update my phone? Thanks for your help

Error message -1426 when trying to update iphone

To the original poster and Jennifer:
Although this step is not in the Apple document, I am pretty sure I found an easier way to fix 1601, 1602 and 1604 errors at my iPhone blog -- and that is to simply switch USB ports and try again -- also make sure you are not plugging in the iPhone via a hub and that it has full USB power.
I have no idea why the change of ports seems to work, but 49 out of 50 people who have tried it report success, so you've got nothing to lose.
