I phone frozen during restore

I updated the software on my Iphone 3gs using I tunes.  When it gets as far as restoring it only gets to about 30% then freezes and wont go any further.  I have been trying all day and have been unable to use my phone as it just shows the connect usb screen.  I need help please!!

Force your phone into DFU mode (search Google for instructions) and restore as a new device.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Phone error during restore

    Hello,
    Today my phone got stuck on "Searching for Signal." After talking with Verizon, I decided to do a restore.  It took several tries to get it to go, and now it keeps getting an error 1669 during "Restoring iPhone firmware."  I haven't dropped it anytime recently and have an otterbox on it.

    Has your phone been jailbroken before you tried to restore? If yes, this is the cause for this error number.

  • ITunes is frozen during restore process. HELP!

    I tried to update my iPhone 4 to the most recent iOS software and it would not work.  I backed everything up and then tried to restore my phone.  Now iTunes is frozen, the status bar is not moving any longer and it's not done.  What do I do now?

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If not working, then reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Then connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Then hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore Button of iTunes.

  • Time Machine Frozen During Restore

    Hi All
    I had a HD fail on me and have just had my computer back from the apple store. I have started to o a complete restore from time machine, but it has frozen with "less than a minute remains" on the screen and the blue bar at the end of the window. There are no options to cancel or to turn the computer off.
    Can anyone suggest what I should do now to move forward???
    Thanks in advance
    Sathers

    I shut down the machine after it sat at "Transferring Network Settings, Less than a minute remaining" for about an hour. I started it up and it acted as though the restore had finished. Hoping everything is actually working. Fingers crossed.

  • I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

    Error -1 generally indicates a hardware failure.Your phone's broken.  Buy a new phone, replace the phone through Apple or an authorised service provider, or find a 3rd party repair shop to attempt to fix it.
