Hi, iphone 3gs 16gb restores but still stuck on apple logo

hi,
my iphone 3gs 16gb is stuck on apple logo. this phone shows up on itunes, restores, updates. everything. just doesnt move from the apple logo to the main screen. it also does not show the slider when i try to shut it down. but it goes in recovery by holding the power/home button etc. i have already updated it to 4.3.3 but to no avail. still doesnt go past the logo. any ideas?

I've been having the same issue since last Monday. I too have finally been able to restore and back-up, yet the screen on the phone stays the same. Have you found any solutions? (I'll let you know if anyone responds to my posted question)

  • My iphone 5 suddenly wont fully boot...it stuck on the apple logo and goes of after 20 -25 secs and comes on by itself after a minute or two but still stuck on apple logo..also i am able to see a bit of lighting on the dark screen whenever it goes of

    my iphone 5 on the ios 7.1.2 suddenly wont fully turn on...it gets stuck on the apple logo and stays like that for approximately to 90 secs then goes blank but I can see a bit of lighting  behind the dark screen....it goes off by itself and comes on by itself trying to boot but still gets stuck on the apple logo after the dim light shows....when I connect to iTunes my phone can only be recognised only in recovery mode thus if I force it into recovery mode. My main worry is I don't have a back up of any of my data...on icloud I have just less than 2GB of my data which is as a result of incomplete back up...HOW CAN I GET THIS PHONE WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT LOSING MY DATA...if I can only just recover my data I would really appreciate it as I really  need almost everything on it back...if I can only get retrieve my data and lose the phone I wouldn't mind at all....Anybody know how to resolve this??Kind Regards

    Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

  • IPhone 3GS cannot charge and gets stuck at apple logo screen

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS, and yesterday it ran out of charge.  I plugged it into my wall socket as normal, but all I got was the black screen with the apple logo, which disappeared after about 15 seconds.  I have tried to hold down the home and on/off key together; to try and restore it, but nothing happened.  I have tried to plug into my computer and open in iTunes, but iTunes does not find it.  The only thing it appears to do when it is plugged into anything, is show the apple logo on the screen and then switch off after about 15 seconds.  Anyone go any suggestions what I might be able to do?  Thank-You (PS I am not technically minded so no techno speak would be appreciated)

    But it was working perfectly well until yesterday.
    Everything works until the day it breaks...  Most electronics that fail don't give any warning.
    I like the 3GS, so would like to be able to repair it, if I can?
    Re-read the last sentence of my last post.

    I have an iPhone 3Gs and it has froze on the apple logo. I have held the on/off button and the home button together but the apple logo keeps reappearing. What Can I Do?

    Try plugging it into your computer, see if that clears it up or if you can perform a restore from your latest backup.

  • MacBook stuck on apple logo. Repaired disk using disk utility, but when I restart, I'm still stuck on apple logo. Please help!

    My MacBook is stuck on apple logo and heats up. I tried restarting in safe mode but it's still stuck. I also tried to repair the disk using disk utility. It says that HD is ok, so when I restart, I'm still stuck on the logo. Is there a way I could fix this without loosing my files?

    Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X: About OS X Recovery
    From there you can reinstall OS X, repair the startup disk, and restore from a Time Machine backup.
    FYI ... wiht ML installed, the only way to repair the startup disk is OS X Recovery, not the Disk Utility app installed on your Mac. You can verify but not repair.

  • Ipod 2nd Gen in Restore Mode - Restored but now stuck on Apple Screen

    I have been having problems restoring my second gen ipod and was getting error code 9 all the time. Today after much perserverence I have managed to get the ipod to restore to factory settings, I had not loaded anything new on to it but tested the Itunes Store and sampled a random check to make sure it was working. I then backed out of the Store and the Ipod went into restart mode and is now permanently stuck in this state. I have tried doing a reset using the ON/OFF/SLEEP button and HOME buttons but that has no effect in turning the ipod off - it turns off the display then just goes back to the Apple logo. Can anyone give me any advice as to what I can do next (apparently its out of support!)
    Thanks

    thanks

    You must have the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and you must connect the phone to your PC with a USB cable. It should then be recognized in iTunes and should restore. If it does not see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • IPhone 3GS Crashes (gets Black Screen with White Apple Logo) Mid Phonecall

    For the past week, when I make a phone call and use the speaker, after the call has lasted between 8 and 12 minutes; without warning, everything goes quiet and I get a black screen which displays the white Apple logo (the same as is displayed when you reboot your phone).
    After a while, the phone comes back on, I’m not required to enter my SIM Pin and everything seems to work fine(ish) from then onwards.
    I have done a reset, restore and resync in iTunes, but this still happens.
    It does not seem to matter if the battery is 100% charged or not! I have tried a few battery recalibrations too!
    I’ve also noticed a slight sluggishness since the upgrade to iOS4 (for example, when you receive a text message, click to view, there is a noticeable delay where the screen is blank (you can see the lines where messages should be) and then they appear/message opens).
    Any ideas?
    Cheers in advance.

    Hey Mac Beep Beep,
    As did many out there on iOS4 release day, I plugged my iPhone into the PC, iTunes fired up, the software upgrade was found and installed.
    Three iPhones updated in my household, all the same model (3GS 32Gb) and yet none of the others have had the same problems as mine.
    On top of having the reboot during phonecall issue, my calendar (historic and future) was wiped, birthdays were added to the calendar from the information held in contacts however some (not all) were showing as a day earlier then they should be (even though they are correct in the contacts entry).
    Just to clarify, when I tried to reinstall a verified version of the legacy backup (3x), I used iTunes to reset iPhone, re-active iPhone and restore said legacy back up. This failed in a spectacular way so I had to go back to an iOS4 back up.
    Note: I had the problem of phone rebooting mid phonecall before I attempted a rollback to 3x.
    Any further advice/ideas?
    Cheers

  • IPhone 3GS won't turn on past the Apple logo and there's a swirling circle too...

    Hi! For a while now, my iPhone has been a pain in my butt. I dropped it whilst out for a meal in April and it cracked the screen and did damage to the bettery which means that the iPhone turns off randomly when not connected to a power source (An Apple Genius has told me this).
    But when out today, my iPhone shut off and it wouldn't turn on past the Apple logo. After about 30 seconds, a little circle like thing pops up on the bottom of the logo and starts to 'swirl' and it does nothing when connected to a power source.
    I've hard reset it, connected it to iTunes and nothing seems to work. I tried restoring it in July and that didn't do anything to the phone at all.
    Any help at all will be hugely appriciated and if anyone else has had the same problem as what I have, how do I fix it?
    Thank you!

    Wow sure sounds like your iPhone is in really bad shape.
    But the next step is a DFU Mode Restore. If this does not work your iPhone is telling you it needs major most likely expensive repairs, or outright replacement.
    DFU Mode Restore, with iTunes open connect iPhone to your computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button continue holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds longer. If the screen is blank, black this is DFU Mode. Restore the iPhone Firmware. DFU Mode again is iPhone in Recovery Mode per iTunes but has a blank, black screen. If not successful keep trying to get DFU Mode, it can be a bit difficult even for experienced users to get, keep trying.

  • ITunes error 29 due iPhone 3Gs 16gb restore

    I read a lot of topics about this error and its 90% confirmed that is due battery incompability. Which Brad confirmed(here on this support).
    But last week i visited non official repair store and,
    they connected my 3Gs to they laptop and after couple of minutes of waiting and doing nothing, just watching what is hapening, they came back and they said that the motherboard is damaged, and did I droped my iPhone somewhere, but I didnt. And I think its impossible to know is it damaged before opening iPhone....Am I right?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error29
    That error can be caused by security software (antivirus or firewall) on your computer interfering with the update. However, if the error occurred in an Apple store when they tried to restore it's a hardware problem.

  • I just update my iphone 4 but it stucks on apple logo

    today i update my iphone 4 to the latest version but after installing software it continously restart.what should i do now? plz help

    This commonly happens when a phone has been hacked to unlock the phone from a specific arrier or the phone has been jailbroken. If your phone is in either of these categories you will have to look elsewhere for assistance.

  • HELP!!! iphone 3gs 32gb ios 4.3.3 stuck on apple logo and can do nothing

    Yesterday, I tried to power on my 3gs after restored, but it stuck on apple logo like 20 mins then it rebooted itself and the cycle has been going on that way. It's been 15 hours of hard trying the ways that i could researched on google. I tried to hold both buttons for a long times, nothing happened, unless i held the buttons when it was about to reboot then the apple logo went off, and on, and off again while i kept holding buttons. But nothing new happened. I tried to hold the buttons till the reboot cycle, and release sleep button when the phone was totally off, I kept holding Home and plug it into computer, but the itunes didn't recognize it and the apple logo went back and stuck on screen invoking me.
    Please help me experts!
    Hope for your feed back
    Eddie

    hiya with the 3gs you hold down the on button at the same time as holding in the middle button for applications etx for a few seconds should solve it mate ian

  • Ipad 2 stuck on apple logo and won't restore

    Is there anyone that can help me, my son has an ipad 2 it worked fine, but all of a sudden apps started flickering and then went stuck on the apple logo, iv tried a hard reset and then eventually restored it several times via an iMac, but still stuck on  apple logo, does anyone know how to get it back working, or know how to fix it, thanks

    Did you force it into recovery mode to restore it?

    If you use Recovery Mode and had no success, them you should seek help at an Apple Store. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar and have the Apple Tech take a look at the iPad.
