Iphone 3g frozen while updating to os 4

my iphone froze while updating to os4. my phone is licensed in india with airtel and it is an official phone. the software got downloaded on itunes and the update was also amost done untill in the last process of restoring i received an error 043... unfortunately i dont remember the exact error but after that its not starting at all. it is not even getting restored an error (9) shows on the screen and if i try to restore it on another computer (1611) error showsup. i have become helpless as apple india has no support service they have asked me get in touch with the subscriber who will send it to their technicians.. till now i have updated to all the new versions but havent faced a problem till date but this is quiet different and no one seems to hv a answer to it.

Welcome to the discussions,
Apple is not listening, this is a user to user forum. Some people solved the problem by restoring "as new iPhone" without using the backup made prior to the upgrade when running 3.x firmware.
Since I "handed down" my 3G, I did the same and experienced no big difference in the performance after that.

  • Iphone 4 frozen while updating to 4.3.4

    have decided to update to version 4.3.4. after waiting for a long time.. it suddenly got frozen. my phone just shows the itunes logo and the USB  on the screen. i turned off the pc and turned it on again. itunes popped up and prompted me that i have to restore my iphone. WHY??? can i not do anything now except restore? it says i will be losing all my data.. and be restored to Factory Settings. AM I LOSING ALL that i have on my phone>? Notes, messages, Photos?

    If you synced your iPhone with that computer before then you should have a backup in iTunes it will just restore the backup after it finishes resetting your iPhone.

  • My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my phone

    My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my pihone?

    Thank you Roger Wilmut. I am grateful for your response.
    I bought the iPhone new and set up by myself. I still remember apple id details. The problem is that while the update was on, I needed to enter my apple id on the phone to complete the update my screen lock has been activated. Now the phone only displays the iTunes logo and the USB cable being inserted. But I can still access my the phone contents through my laptop. I need to force the phone to restart. How can I do that?  mind you I have pressed the home and power buttons together for a couple of minutes. It will only display the apple logo for a few seconds and then return to the iTunes and USB cable display. Maybe the phone is hanging. So please help me.
    Thank you very much

  • Frozen while updating iOS 5.1

    My phone has frozen while connected to itunes to update to iOS 5.1 what do I do?

    Same problem. When updating to 5.1, my phone went into recovery mode. It won't reset or start; it just says that I need to plug it into iTunes. When I plug it in, iTunes says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then, when I try to restore, it makes it through the restoration of the software, but when it gets to the part about restoring the firmware, I get the same message as some of you: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unkown error occured (1)."
    I've tried restoring it with a different computer, changing it to DFU mode before restoring, restoring to the specific ipsw by pressing shift+clicking on restore, re-downloading the 5.1 firmware, updating iTunes, restarting the computer, etc., all to no avail. Note: I do not have a jailbroken phone and do not intend to jailbreak it.
    Please, if anyone has found any other fixes (other than bringing it to the Genius Bar), please post them.
    I have to say that I'm extremely frustrated with Apple. How can a company get away with releasing a software update that harms the hardware of so many customers' products??

  • IPhone 4S Frozen whilst updating 10.5.1.42

    I have been trying to update my phone to my iTunes, and I was returned with error 1603, and now my iPhone is frozen on the download screen of update.
    I cannot turn it off, I hold the off button down for 10 seconds plus and nothing happens.
    When I connect my phone to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognise that there is a device connected, and when I run diagnostics through iTunes, it says no iPhone found.
    The phone is completely frozen.

    The same thing is happening to me (same itunes version, windows 7 and iphone 4s).
    I found that if you reboot and try and reboot and try and reboot and try and reboot and try it will eventually work once.  but then on the next sync it hangs again.
    also it seems to hang in different places (the progress bar is never in the same place when it hangs).
    Let me know if you figure out a better way to fix it.

  • TS1702 apps frozen while updating

    while updating apps they have stopped updating and are now "waiting" how can i stop them and try again.

    If rebooting doesn't help, (holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen) here are a couple of other things to try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
