Help please with restoring iphone factory setting

hey can someone help me please? i did "restore" to factory setting on itunes for my i phone and now after it reboot it has the icon of usb and itunes icon on screen and the only other option it lets me do is emergency call, what do i do?

Connect your iPhone to iTunes and perform the restore again. DO NOT unplug it until it is completely done and it's on.
If iTunes cannot recognize the iPhone, force your iPhone into recovery mode and try to do the restore from there. To do this, turn it off. then, press and hold the home button. Keeping it held, plug your iPhone into iTunes via the USB cable. Keep holding down the home button until the screen showing a USB cable and an iTunes icon. Then, iTunes will recognize your iPhone, and you can do a restore.
Again, do not unplug your iPhone until iTunes says it's done restoring. It will reboot your iPhone a couple of times before it's done.

Help! Z61t - restore to factory setting problem

I tried to restore my Z61t to factory setting.
I did it from the thinkvantage > rescue & recovery > restore to factory setting
after that the laptop restarted by it shelf.
when it started, It asked me to put in the Recovery suplemental CD.
I put in my CD recovery which was I created my chelf after I bought this laptop two years ago.
but, it said 'wrong CD'.
so, click cancel. and the laptop restarted by it shelf again.
and keep asking me to put in the CD Recovery.
Should I buy this CD recovery from IBM?
and I am still wondering, if after I buy the CD. the restoring still not working.
anyone can help or give me advice for this matter?
many thanks!

@ denny_chr,
If you are booting using the blue Access IBM / ThinkVantage button you need to select to restore your system and then select factory restore. Do not select to restore from an image, the disc you created will not work.
Using Discs
Hopefully you created more than one disc; you should have created at least two, maybe three? Boot from the first disc, when it asks for the supplemental disc you need to click on "no", (otherwise you will get the wrong disc message), it will then ask for the first recovery disc; this is when you need to insert the second disc you made.
Hope this helps

Help please: Update/restore iPhone 4

Hi all,
I just managed to solve the problem of iTunes store not showing up in iTunes (by removing and installing everything) only to run in to the next problem.
I have just got an iPhone 4.
I configured it (now that iTunes kindly show me the pages) and I see that there is a new update for my phone.
I download it and want to update it.
The update gets stuck in the middle. No responce from phone since yesterday.
I have tried to reset the phone, reboot PC etc. and when I now connect my iPhone, I get a pop up that the phone has to be restored. Okay, I do that, it downloads the update, prepare to install, everything looking fine... but it gets stuck in the middle of the update.
So, basically, phone not working, dead, update/restore gets stuck.
Im going on holiday on Friday and had planned everything to have my iPhone with me. I so regret that I updated the phone just now
System:
Windows XP, latest version of iTunes, all updates for windows installed, etc.
Tried closing down virus scanners, firewalls, etc, no luck, still stuck...
So if anyone could point me to some sollution I will be very happy.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Tried all this, no luck:
Turned off all USB devices, rebot -> restore -> frozen
Downloaded an earlier version of the update and try to do a shift/restore in iTunes. No luck.
Note:
The restore is 682 MB large file. This file it loaded the very first time I pressed the update button in iTunes.
Nothing more I can do really. Gona have to give it back and get a new. And no iPhone on the holiday meh..
PS: No, it is not jailbroken. it is brand new.

If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Ipad 2 still crashes after restoring to factory setting after upgrade to IOS 7.0.6

After recent upgrade to IOS 7.0.6, my ipad 2 started playing up. Lost the use of camera like many others. Followed advice to restore to factory setting after connecting to Itunes. Took several attempts to do so as it wasn't able to locate my ipad in itunes and kept saying it couldn't find my iphone? Not sure why it was looking for iphone. Anyway, I disconnected and turned off the ipad holding on to the Sleep button and home together and left it off overnight. Next morning, I found I could turn my ipad on. Feeling relieved, I started to input my details, etc, and in the middle of doing so, it just went blank and the apple logo came on. It kept going off and coming back again. I just turned it off again using the sleep and home button together and left it for a day. The next day I was able to get into my home screen but after using it to log into my emails, etc, it just went off with the apple logo appearing again. I really regretted upgrading to IOS 7.0.6. Nothing works properly anymore, ie my camera, the sleep button..... Wish I could restore back the older version. Is there any hope/cure for my sick ipad? Hate to spend lots of money on repair. Please help..

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

Hey! Does anybody know how to help me with my iphone 4??? Its aking for retriction code

Hey! Does anybody know how to help me with my iphone 4??? Its aking for retriction code

Enter the restrictions passcode you set. It doesn't set itself. Either you or someone with physical access to the phone set it.
If you can't remember it, you will need to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are part of the backup.

HT201210 Tried updating to ios6, "couldnt be updated, unkown error (6)... now phone must be restored in order to connect to iTunes... now Phone will NOT turn on. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting?

Phone will NOT turn on after synching & updating (or trying) to ios 6. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting? When researching, I read that you will get an option to restore from back up. I am not receiving any options on iTunes.... restore only & basically it is telling me I will lose everything.

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?
