plz help me iphone 3gs not open

Hello gurpreet17,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following steps 2-6 for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Why is my iphone 3gs not opening?

Iphone 3gs not openiafter installing ios 6.1.3?

99% your iPhone is hacked/jailbroken, now you need the SIM from the carrier the iPhone was locked to.

Help with iPhone 3GS (not restoring, seems to be in loop)

Good morning!
My phone has not warranty and before taking the next step of having to replace it I would like to read your suggestions or possible solutions for the problems I'm experiencing with my iPhone:
I have an iPhone 3GS that fell into a cup of coffee. It didn't submerge completely and I was able to open it and dry it very quickly. When I opened it only the dock connection was wet (nothing on the battery or the motherboard). Either way I made sure to check every connection and made sure no coffee drops were left on the inside of the device.
Here are the issues I've encountered since then:
1. Afterwards I check the phone by plugin it into the wall charger. I turned on, screen looked OK and I was even prompted with the "Enter passcode" screen. I entered the password and immediately the screen went black and reset to the Apple logo. So long as I had the phone charging through the wall charger the Apple logo will constantly appear. No longer the password screen will show up and the phone seemed to be in a loop that started and ended with the blinking Apple logo. Once unplugged from the wall the iPhone will turn off and make no sound or show any signs of turning on again.
2. When connecting to the computer on the first attempt the iPhone will enter recovery mode (showing the connector and iTunes logo) and be recognized by both the computer and iTunes. iTunes will then prompt me to do a restore of the phone. I will follow the steps and "Restore and update" my iPhone. After "extracting the software" and "Verifying with Apple" to start the installation iTunes will prompt me with an error (I've repeated this step several times so there are several different errors I've encountered. Some of the errors include: 20, 21, 3194, 1600, 2001, 2003). After receiving the error iTunes will eject and no longer recognize the device. The iPhone (still connected to the computer) will no longer show the "Recovery Mode" logos and will start working in a loop (blinking Apple logo that appears to turn on and off as in a loop). The computer (device manager) will not recognize the iPhone either (no USB or ports showing the iPhone is still connected).
My iPhone is not unlocked or jailbroken. Before the incident with the coffee I managed to synchronize and update its firmware as indicated by iTunes. The latest update for my iPhone was 5.0.1. firmware. My intent is not to unlock or jailbrake the device, just to make it work again.
Here are some things I've tried since:
1. Exiting recovery mode via iReb, Tinyumbrella
2. Entering DFU mode via iReb, Sn0wbreeze,
3. Shift + Restore and using firmwares from 3.0 to 5.0 to downgrade or upgrade my iPhone.
4. Add new hosts to my Host file
5. Try sn0wbreeze and use IPSW to see if it is recognized by iTunes (iTunes recognizes the iPhone but then at the very last minute shows error 20, 21, 3194 or 1600.
6. Save SHSH files and use Tinyumbrella to uploaded them to my iPhone.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. I might be doing something wrong or maybe not even considering the right steps to solve this issue. I don't know if there are missing drivers that are preventing the device from communicating with iTunes properly. Of some tool that can be used to correct this problem. It may or may not be fixable but I think it is worth the try.
Thanks very much.

I have the exact same problem as you (minus the coffee incident) where the phone just turned off. Tried everything you have too and now the above link is showing a 404 page... Can you help me out?

Hello there Tgurnell
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the ringer is not ringing after the update to iOS 7. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

hi i need sum help plzzz, iphone 3gs blackscreen and tryed evrything but wont kick out of dfu mode , much apreicated plz, it just happen wen i was restoring the screen is balck but wen i restore it from itunes it says erorr 1600 and itunes does not reconise the phone , i have tryed eveything bt still no luck , I NEED UR HELP PLZZZ ,its my disabled daughters thank you

Anyone on this forum can correct me if I am wrong. I am not judging you, but to my knowledge the iTunes error 1600 usually affects products that are jailbroken. again I am not saying that your iPhone 3GS was jailbroken. my only advise off the top of my head to assist you is to download the recent IOS firmware online. I know it is not the the #1 advised option, but it is the only option you have unless you wish to bring it to the Apple Genius bar and see if they can replace the phone or fix it themselves.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

iphone 3gs not abe to restored ...error unknown error occurred (2003)

Hey caprameg,
If you are having issues restoring your iPhone, take a look at the resource below for some initial troubleshooting steps.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-lb/HT201210
Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-lb/TS3694
To narrow down the issue, you can try different equipment:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
I hope this information helps ....

Well it sounds like it is. Thus, we cannot help you on these forums. You'll need to search for Google on how to unjailbreak - and it's a good idea to keep it that way.

Help,my Iphone 3gs is very slow on ios5

Help,my Iphone 3gs 16Gb is very slow on ios5!
What can I do to get al the speed there is (if any)?

Same thing for me. I hit a button and then it's waiting, waiting, waiting. Now my iCal on my phone is totally hung up and not working. I've just posted about it - I don't know how to fix it so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I haven't moved to iCloud. I heard that could be disastrous. My battery drains really fast now, too. I just wish I could go back to the previous s/w level because everything was working perfectly then.

I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS7. Now my podcasts I have added to ITunes and synced with iPhone do not open. When I touch the screen like in the old iOS6, nothing happens.

anyone, pls help - my ipad is not opening, only apple logo is flashing on and off... pls help

Have you tried rebooting your iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not work, you can try restoring your iPad iOS Software.

Make sure that you read the article all the way through and pay attention to the last part that talks about using recovery mode.
