HT201263 iPhone 4 stuck in loop after downloading iOS 6.0.1

I downloaded the newest version of iOS 6 to my 5 month old iPhone 4. After about an hour I noticed that the phone was in a perpetual power up/power down loop. I assumed it was part of the downloading process (although it seemed weird) so I left it for another hour. The phone never came out of the loop, and was not recognizable in iTunes or to my computer. After about 3 hours I was finally able to get the phone off by holding down the power button.
The loop that I described consists of the phone powering up to the apple logo, and powering down, repeating every 5 seconds.
I was finally able to get my computer to recognize the phone by holding down the home button while I connected it to the USB.
In iTunes, I restored the phone (1.5 hour process.) Following the restore, the phone hasn't changed, still stuck in the loop.
I have tried everything I know to do.
Any ideas?
The phone is not jailbroke. When the guys at AT&T plugged it up to their computer, the screen turned bright blue. They said the blue screen normally pops up with water damage? The phone hasn't had any damage.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes i tried in my pc and disabled both and in my MacBookPro too, still no luck.

  • Iphone cannot connect to web after downloading ios 8.1.3

    My iPhone was working until I download ios 8.1.2.  Then the web button is "grayed" out.  Local Sprint store could not figure it out.  Ive tried turning the phone off and then back on to no avail.  Also rebooted router, still no luck.  Any other users have this problem and a fix?

    dear bam ,
    sad to see  others who also encountering the same problem...
    sorry to say that this could be due to 8.1.3 software problem since rainy had already been apple service centre for help when rainy was at wits end:'(
    yet rainy was told that this cannot be fixed which wifi function is burned as it may due to older model phone which is not compatible with the latest software(8.1.3) that causes this to happen...
    what a disappointment APPLE has given to rainy since this is a software issue...think rainy is not the only one who has encountered this, it should not prompt consumer to upgrade the software since this is the case...
    Despite from wifi faulty,rainy's battery life is shortened ...battery will be drained out overnight while it is fully charged without  using at all:'( in addition it has started lagging & screen brinking)
    a sofware upgrading which could say totally destroyed the device:'(
    last but not least,do share with rainy in any case that bam could get it fixed...thanks..take care...

  • HT1766 My iPhone 4S has been wiped after downloading ios 6 and won't restore back-up

    I tried downloading ios 6 today and once it got to the end of the installation it said an error had occurred then next thing I know my phone (4S) is restoring itself to factory settings and now my backup will not install on it. Help please?

    Hi Paulski54,
    Siri can definitely be turned off.  I found the instructions here:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 6.1
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Page 39 says this:
    Setting options for Siri
    Turn Siri on or off: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
    Note: Turning Siri off resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.
    I hope this helps!

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.

  • After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not automatically coming through.  I have to open my mailbox and wait for messages to download.  Do I need to reset or change settings for mail?  Please help.

    After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not coming through automatically. Before, my email messages would come through automatically and my iPhone would alert me each time an emial message was recevied.   I now have to open my mail in-box and wait for my email messages to download.  Do I need to reset or change my mail settings?  This issue is delaying my abiliy to receive and respond to email messages in a timely manner.
    Please Help.

    Hi Chris.  Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues.  They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced.  I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings.  However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved.  Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked!  I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
    Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
    Thanks, again.

  • TS1398 Did anybody got problem after downloading ios 6 on iPhone 4?

    My Verizon 16 GB iPhone 4 Camera is fine. It is even located on the lock screen.
    What may have happened is they may have moved your icon to another location. But check the lock screen. There should be a camera icon next to the slide bar. Just press the camera ico and slide it UP

  • HT1414 after downloading ios 6, i want to restore my iphone 4. does the original software download when restoring the phone

    after downloading ios 6, i want to restore my iphone 4. does the original software download when restoring the phone

    Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you'll find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly bricked their devices.
    If you haven't done so already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and run just with the included apps for a bit and see how it performs. Cache corruption or incompatible software can cause performance and stability issues. No guarantees, but it's worth a try to at least try to identify what's causing the problems, iOS 6 itself or something you have loaded.
    Regards.

  • Finishing synch on iphone 4 After downloading iOS 7.0.3 - Is it impossible?

    Hello there, CollinG123.
    You may want to first try restarting/resetting your iPhone following the steps in this Knowledge Base article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the steps for iOS devices, in this article, may also help:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Particularly:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    No. All GSM iPhones require a valid sim be in the phone in order to activate. Until you get a valid sim, all you'll be able to do is look at it & make emergency calls.

    Contact the carrier to which it was locked before it was hacked, and enquire if they will unlock it.  Not all carriers offer unlocking and those that do usually have requirements such as that you are a current or former customer in good standing.

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?

  • Why does my iPhone become so lag and slow after downloading iOS 8?

    My iPhone 5S and iPad Mini Retina Display become so lag after after downloading iOS 8. When i open an app or press any button, it response very slow. For instance, opening a Facebook app take about 30s for it to load, answering a phone call take half a seconds to response. Not only that, my iPad keep restarting when I am FaceTime-ing about 3 minutes. This update has got me so frustrated! It is so unstable!

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
