IPhone 3G not restarting...  Help!

This morning, like every other morning I left the house and put on some music. About 5 minutes later the music stopped suddenly and my phone froze. It took nearly 10 minutes for it to reboot. It's now stuck in a loop of restarting, and getting as far as the Apple logo, then restarting again. I'm at work all day, and really need to be able to use my phone, but I do not have the ability to do a restore at the office, and I would prefer to not do a restore as it's been a little longer than normal since I last synced it... Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with mine right now -- I turned it off and it wont cycle back on past the apple logo.

    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
    The other possible issue is a device running the iOS7 Beta.  If that is the case, and you are a developer, sign into the developers forums for assistance.  If that is the case and you are not a developer, try google.

  • My Iphone 5 got stuck when I did rest all Settings in my iphone 5 and my iphone do not restart or shut down. The phone do not have the ability to shut down.

    my Iphone 5 got stuck when I did rest all Settings in my iphone 5 and my iphone do not restart or shut down. The phone do not have the ability to shut down.

    Did you try to press and hold the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the device.
    If this does not work, try connecting in recovery mode, explained in this article:

  • Iphone 4S not restarting

    My iphone 4s got stuck and now it is not restarting.
    This happened as i was trying to use an App called iClean. The App was working properly but in the end it did not restart my phone. As Iused this App for the first time.
    To restart my iphone 4s I tried -
    To shut down but it would not as it only shows the apple logo.
    I connected my iphone 4s to iTunes and tried to restart it but does not.
    I tried to connect to itunes and tried to restore my phone it started to restore but it  stopped in the middle and shows that there is an error.
    I tried almost all I could do but it does not do anything but it shows only the itunes emblem or the apple logo.
    What should I do Please ADVICE.  !!!

    Hello Kayla.m
    Try the steps out in the article below. If you can get to at least the Apple logo, you should be able to get your iPhone into recovery mode to restore.

    If you tried all that is in the support doc where you posted your query and it did not resolve the issue, it is a hardware failure. Seek an appointment at the genius bar for evaluation.

    I accidentally hit erase all option IN MY IPHONE, as a result, every time I turn my iphone on, first there's a yellow screen and then it starts performing a self test (similar to DOS systems), and at the end of this test it says "ApplSerialMultiplexer: mux-ad(byp)::dormancySetIntervalGated: Setting dormancy interval to 5000 ms with mask 0x1700", stops and reboots itself and then it starts over. I need HELP!

  • The iCloud icon on my iPhone is not responding - help?

    The iCloud icon in the settings menu of my iPhone has stopped responding. It's turned a pale grey colour and won't respond when I tap/touch it. (Coincidentally, the same has happened to my Twitter icon in that menu.)
    I've searched online, but I can't find any guidance on what to do about it, so any help you can provide here will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Wow that was a quick response, and it was absolutely the right answer as that's fixed the problem immediately. Thank you so much!

  • TS1538 my iphone 4 not restarting after upgrade

    Hi, my iphone 4 is not starting after an IOS upgrade

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power button for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • My iPhone will not restart

    Any ideas. This is driving me crazy... All my info, numbers etc will be lost

    DFU Mode Restore.
    With iTunes open, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. This ususally takes 20 seconds more time. If the screen is black, this is DFU Mode. Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you get the connect to iTunes screen this is Recovery Mode, you can try the Restore, but if unsuccessful then do a DFU Mode Restore as I described. DFU Mode has the black screen. Even experienced users can have some trouble getting DFU Mode, keep trying (iTunes Recovery Mode + iPhone black screen = DFU Mode).

    Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
    Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.
