HT201412 after trying recovery mode my phone still wont turn on

my iphone 4s will not turn on. i have tried the restore mode multiple times. the apple logo is as far as it will go. please help

Try DFU Mode. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

  • Phone still wont turn on

    My droid Razr M still won't turn on.  I have it plugged in to the charger and tried to do the power volume down reset that everybody suggests, but it still won't turn on.  I know it's charing because the green light is on.  but my phone still doesn't work.  any tips would be helpful.

    I assume you already tried the holding down the power button and the down volume button simultaneously  for 10 seconds or more. ( might be up volume , try both )

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Try this First...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • I tried to follow the steps in recovery mode but itunes still can't detect it

    i tried to follow the steps in recovery mode but itunes still can't detect it.
    Ok ok. It did work the first time, however the phone got disconnected so then the phone turned itself on again.
    I tried to repeat the same steps again but it did not show the itunes logo. It just turned on and went to the lock screen.
    I did this for about 4-5 times. Each trial ending up with the same result.
    So what i did, once the phone was connected to itunes i clicked the update button and waited for HOURS to finish the update.
    It did restart and did whole other things. But it stopped and a black screen appeared with a text saying Iphone is disabled. Connect to iTunes.
    Any suggestions on what to do next? I'm seriously feeling so frustrated right now.
    So in case you didn't get it my phone was disabled after entering the wrong password too many times. Tried fixing it but it seemed to get worse.
    Really desperate here.

  • My iphone 4 has switched off by itself and won't switch back on. The battery wasn't dead, I have tried restarting it and have tried to put it into recovery mode but it still won't switch back on?

    my iphone 4 has switched off by itself and won't switch back on. The battery wasn't dead, I have tried restarting it and have tried to put it into recovery mode but it still won't switch back on?

    Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Hi, i had the same problem. Try to find the file "apple" or "itunes" don't know it anymore exactly. Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!

    I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

    3. Connected to itunes
    4. Pressed restore and update ipod
    Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

    Place the iPOo in recovery mode for the passcode issue. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My ipod is disable and i can't remember my password. I tried recovery mode, what should i do?

    I changed my password and i cant remember the new one. I tried some combonations but it just disabled it. I have tried recovery mode and i went to change my apple id password, but it didn't do anything. Should i go to the apple store or is there something i can do?
                                                               - Desperate

    You said
    i went to change my apple id password, but it didn't do anything.
    That means that you successfully restored the iPod and it is asking for the Apple ID and password used to set up the iPod last time. That is the Activation Lock
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    You have to enter the Apple ID and password

    Hello there, VladlsSwag.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
