Iphone 32G 3GS crashed during upgrade now wont turn on or restore in itunes

i was performing the latest upgrade last night (4.0 i think) and half way thru i accidentally knocked the USB cable from the laptop and the upgrade did not complete and now the phone will not turn on except to tell me to connect to itunes and when i do its wont retore the phone to the original settings either. i cannot use my phone at all - HELP!!!

I had this same problem before. You have to put your phone in DFU mode to be able to successfully restore your iPhone. I'd recommend not restoring from a backed up profile and just starting a new one when you do get it restored. For instructions on getting your phone in DFU mode, check out the following link: http://limitededitioniphone.com/how-to-put-the-iphone-into-dfu-mode/
I'd recommend one of the "Alternative Methods". The first method is tricky because the timing has to be perfect.
Just a word of advice though, I'd strongly recommend staying on iPhone OS 3.1.3 until Apple releases iOS 4.1. There is an increase of people having performance issues on the 3GS with iOS 4.0. I was one of them, but just downgraded back to 3.1.3 and am not having any of those issues any longer.
Hope this helps!

My iphone 4 crashed (black screen) and now wont turn on or restore! help, my iphone 4 crashed (black screen) and now wont turn on or restore! help

i can put it into recovery mode but wont finish restoring advise please

Here are Apple Steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You can try a DFU Mode Restore:
Open iTunes on Computer, connect iPhone to Computer with USB Cable, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button, keep holding the Home Button until iTunes says it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds longer. If the iPhone Screen is Black, Blank this is DFU Mode, Restore the iPhone Firmware. If something is on the screen this is not DFU Mode. Keep trying to get DFU Mode, which is sometimes difficult even for experienced users. DFU Mode = iTunes says Recovery Mode and iPhone Screen is black, blank.
If your iPhone Restore results with an Error, write down the Error Number so you can look up the cause and the fix.

Iphone 5s got blue screen and now wont turn on and is broken.

I've had the iPhone 5s for little over a year and it has been the worst phone ever. But unfortunately with my cell plan I couldn't get a new one for another 2 years. Anyway, recently I have had TONS of issues when I opened apps my phone screen would just turn blue and then restart. (And most of my apps did this) Well yesterday my phone finally bit the dust and wont turn on at all. I had it on a charger all night and even tried to restore it on my computer. Nothing worked. I want to know if I can do anything to save the pictures and information I had on this phone(its backed up on my cloud too) and transfer it to another, cause there is no way in **** I am getting another iPhone after this. I just want my stuff back.

Hi there iroam_soljah,
I understand that your iPad is not responding when you attempt to power it up or charge it. You will want to use the following article for information on how to address this issue:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

While updateing iphone 3gs, lost internet connection. now only option is to restore in itunes. I just want to finish update!

I was updating my iphone 3gs. I lost internet connection when my went to restart (I forgot I was using hotspot). Now when I connect my phone to finish, the only option it gives me is to restore. I don't want to do this. I have disconnected and restarted phone and macbook pro. Software is up to date. What can I do?

If the only option is giving is to restore or has a connect to itunes logo - then that is the only option you have. You may need to put it in forced recovery mode in order to restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US
Once restored you can restore from a backup or sign into icloud in order to recover any contacts, etc that you had on the phone previously. If you are still missing contacts, which is usually one of the most important things on a phone than make sure you have added any and all email accounts you previously had on the phone.

My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.0

My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.o

I've also got this annoying problem, but it seems to vary how long the phone wants to last before crashing - i think the longest conversation i've had with iOS4 is 15 minutes and it was an important phone call (my son was in hospital at the time and i was away on business)
i was hoping that iOS4.2 would fix the problem, but alas nothing but more crashing..
being a user of Apple products since 1984, having this trouble is pretty disappointing as i used to believe that Apple made a quality product..

I just upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 but now it isn't compatible with my itunes 10.6 please help?

I just upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 but now it isn't compatible with my itunes 10.6. I have tried to download itunes 10.7 however my macbook is only 10.5.8 so I can't. So now I can't connect my iPhone to my itunes, what should I do?

Hi guyz just fixed mine just now, I used an app named iREB please refer to the below link. Make sure youre iphone is plugged in to your USB then launch the app as admin. As soon as the app is running go to the "Recovery Mode Loop Fixer" tab & hit the "Set Auto-Boot True (Fixes 1015 errors / Recovery Loops). It will restart your iPhone in just a moment & get you back to your homescreen.
I hope this will help those whos undergoing this horrifying iPhone problem.
Just additional info.

My (new) iphone cut out & now wont turn back on

Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

From iPhoneWiki:
Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

Iphone turned off whilst plugging it into a docking station and now wont turn on

Hi everyone.
So i plugged my Iphone into a docking station to play the radio last night and it completely turned off and now wont turn back on.
I have done the following:
12hour wall charging
Computer connected
All resets done.
Still nothing. Anyone shed any light? I'm going crazy!
Thanks

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually takes 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

Where is memory.dmp if server crash during upgrade?

I am updating a server from 2008r2 to 2012, but server keeps crash during upgrade.
I am trying to dig into memory dump and core dump. It usually locate at \windows\memory.dmp if server crash.
Where does the file locate during upgrade?

Hi,
Based on my experience, the memory dump file will be created by the operating system in its own folder in the MEMORY.DMP
file by default. Windows keeps a list of all the small memory dump files in the %SystemRoot%\Minidump folder if you have choose the “small memory dump” option in the Startup and Recovery page. Of course, you can change the folder location for the memory dump
files.
If you can access to the page of
Startup and Recovery, you can view the location of the memory dump file.

my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, any ideas??

Let it cool and then reset it... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
