Help: iPhone is frozen

Hi, I just tried to update my 3G iPhone to 3.0.1 and got an error saying something like 'error updating your phone, send details to apple'. So I did a send but now my iPhone is frozen at the update screen (screen shows itunes logo at the top and usb cable at bottom with an arrow pointing to itunes logo). I tried to reset it by holding both home and power button for 30 secs and it shows apple logo and screen goes black. But when I try to turn it on again, it goes back to the frozen screen as described above. Can someone please help me.
Thanks

try this first reinstall itunes then plugin hold the power button and the home button down at the same time till itunes says that it has found a phone in restore mode then follow the on screen promts to restore your phone do not restore from a back up restore as a new phone and put 3.1.2 on it this is what i did.

    Unknown "source"?  Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

    Follow the instructions in the article.  When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • Help- Iphone frozen on the SMS screen, reset troubleshooting does not help

    Hi,
    I woke up this morning to find my Iphone completely frozen, on the SMS screen. Ive followed the Apple 'reset trouble shooting guide' without success.
    Am now contemplating Restoring my Iphone to original factory settings via Itunes, but I am worried I will not be able to restore the content on my Iphone using the back up files, as I am overseas and using a different itunes/computer than what my Iphone is synced with normally.
    Please help with any tips...for example how to turn of a unresponsive itunes or how to sync my Iphone with Itunes on a new computer...
    many thanks!!
    cheers,
    Helena.

    Did you try to reset, or restore the phone if you see it in iTunes? If it won't restore, try entering Recovery Mode.

    Hi there beee19,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • HT1414 my iphone is frozen and when i am trying to restore the same it is giving error code 21 again and again

    Please help my iphone is frozen and showing only apple sign, after following few tips for web it reached to itunes sign but every time i am trying to restore my iphone it is giving me an error code 21 ???

    If your phone is frozen showing the Apple logo, you need to try to force it into recovery mode to restore it as discussed here:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If you're getting error 21, try disabling or troubleshooting your security software (anti-virus, etc.).  This is Apple's discussion on error 21 (copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21):
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
