IPad stuck on Apple logo - won't recover/restore

Hi guys,
Sorry if this seems like a repeat question, but I've just spent several hours looking through previous solutions to similar questions and none of them have worked for me.
My iPad was working fine until last night, when it mysteriously reverted to the black start-up screen with the Apple logo and refused to budge.
I have managed to get it into recovery mode several times, and each time the process appears to be working at first - but as soon as I get to "Waiting for iPad", the screen freezes up again, this time with a grey bar below the Apple logo that's stuck on 0%. Still no action after leaving it this way for several hours.
I've tried every recommended solution I can find (short of taking it to the Apple store, but I'm currently travelling overseas) but nothing seems to work.
Any thoughts?

Try the following:
1. Reset
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
2. Restore:

    please lets me know since im getting desperate...
    thanks

    Your post indicates you have used Cydia, which is a software application for iOS that enables a user to find and install software packages on jailbroken iOS Apple devices. Since your iPad has been jailbroken,  we can't help you in this forum. Best bet is to Google for answers.
    You may have "bricked" your iPad and now have an $$$ paper weight. Plus your Apple warranty has been voided and the Apple Genius Bar/Support will not help you.

  • My iPhone 3gs is stuck on apple logo even after a restore on DFU mode, what can I do?

    Hi guys, I just got an iPhone 3gs from my girlfriend and it was working perfectly, I restore it from the phone by erasing all data on it, and it wont boot after that, it is stuck on the apple logo, I've tried restoring it in recovery mode and even in DFU mode, but it's not working, what should I do?

    If you live near an apple store make an appointment.  They will perform a DFU restore using known good equipment.
    If that doesn't work you probably have liquid damage.

  • IPhone 6 plus stuck with apple logo, won't turn off!

    I got my new iPhone 6 plus today. I set it up as a new phone I couldn't restore from backup as I needed iOS 8.1 to restore the backup of my 5s.
    So after upgrading to 8.1 I reset my 6 plus to restore the backup and now its stuck on the apple logo.
    I can't turn it off to get it into recovery mode, I've tried holding the home and power buttons, the device appears to restart, after a few minutes it flashes on a red screen for a split second then its back to the apple logo. I've restarted multiple times and same thing keeps happening.
    iTunes won't recognise the device so I'm really at a loss to what I can do from here. Can't get into my local Apple genius bar until Wednesday and I'd really like it sorted before that.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    Hi there thatgurlwho,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if your device isn't booting past the Apple Logo.

  • HT201412 Ipad stuck on apple logo, tried suggested fix's

    Just updated my iPad 1 to the latest software, (12May2012) and I'm stuck with the apple logo after re set.
    Tried all the suggested fix's. It refuses to budge.
    It will be a long wait but if I leave it on, does a battery discharge fix the problem? or should I leave it on charge?
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you try holding the home button and sleep until the iPad power down?
    Discharge it first, I'd say. By the way, plugging in the iPad charger with the wall socket turned off sometimes increase the rates of battery discharging.

  • 1st gen ipad stuck on apple logo only when on charge

    I have an iPad that got wet in the rain, when I brought it in it still worked ( i pressed the home button and the homepage came up with all the apps) so I quickly dried if off and put it in the airing cupboard for 6 days, now when I plug it in to the mains with the charger the apple logo comes up for about 15 secs then disappears then comes back on after about another 30 secs and this keeps happening and won't go any further and when I unplug it and link it to my apple laptop nothing happens at all it nothing happens at all (doent show the apple logo or charging logo)  i dont think its taking any charge please let me know if anyone knows how to fix x

    Bluequasar-

  • IPod nano stuck on Apple logo; won't boot.

    I have an iPod nano that seems to charge, but won't boot. There's no sad iPod logo or anything, just the Apple logo. I can boot it into diagnostics mode, and it seems to be fine. However, it won't go into disc mode.
    Any advice?

    This tread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=723183) is about the same problem you're having. At some point it's said:
    "Hold down Select / Menu (to reboot the iPod)
    As soon as the Apple logo appears, hold down Rewind / Select until...
    ...you see a backwards Apple Logo.
    At this point, you will have entered Diagnostic Mode. It'll test the RAM, and then tell you to HIT PLAY TO CONTINUE. Hit 'Play'.
    You'll be in a menu that you advance by hitting FF (Fast Forward). Advance to the 'DISKMODE' entry.
    Hit 'Select.' This will put you into Firewire Disk mode. The screen should change to the familiar 'Do Not Disconnect' mode. At this point, connect it to the computer.
    Run the restore utility; it should now recognize the iPod and offer to Restore the factory software. Do so. You'll lose whatever's on it, but you'll avoid having to send it back in to Apple and paying repair fee."

  • Stuck on apple logo, won't connect to itunes

    My iPod touch 4th Genereation is stuck on the apple logo after updating it, it also can't be recognized by itunes.
    Really stuck as all answers seem to either be about one.
    Please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 3gs Stuck in apple logo cycle even after restore!!

    I hope someone can help me with this. I was given an iphone 3gs to repair for my girl friend (the hold button had fallen off) I've succesfully repaired it but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I have fallowed all directions and succesfully restored the phone to factory settings with recent updates. The phone shows up on itunes as would any iphone when plugged in by USB, in that respect it functions as it should. The problem is that the screen only every shows one of three images; The apple logo, the revolving circle or the 'connect to itunes screen'.
    Can anyone please help me get it up and running properly? It makes no sense that that everything functions correctly except the screen. And it's not even that the screen itself is broken!
    I'm just plain confused at this point.

    I also discovered that If I push it to DFU and then use Recboot to exit it it will show 4 lines from the console over the logo and than screen turns black until the battery will die.

  • Iphone 4s stuck in apple logo and couldn't restore

    Hey guys,
    I woke up this morning with my iphone 4S stucked in an apple logo screen. I did put it in DFU mode and tried to restore which ended up in having errors: 1603, 1611, 1604, 21. each of them in a different trial.
    Do you have any solutions on how to start it up?
    It doesn't have jailbreak or any 3rd party software on it. It was running iOS6.0

    I also discovered that If I push it to DFU and then use Recboot to exit it it will show 4 lines from the console over the logo and than screen turns black until the battery will die.

  • Ipad stuck at apple logo

    Hello everyone,
    My iPad freezes at the bootup screen. I can't do anything. That on itself isn't a problem as I've read a solution for this on this site. The real problem is that my power button doesn't work anymore. This doesn't bother me all that much because I use Assistive Touch and it works fine. But because of my problem I can't use the fix. Any solutions? Thank you in advance.

    Have you tried connecting it to your computer in iTunes and do a restore? Make sure the battery is fully charged by plugging into the wall outlet for a couple hours first.
    Also take a look at his article:

    and go through the steps.
