Iphone 3g stuck at "apple logo" after erase all content

Hey.
I was given an iphone 3g from my friend. It worked perfectly.
I wanted to erase all the content and stuff from the phone, so I selected "Erase all Content and Settings".
After the phone perfomed this, it has gotten stuck in a loop. It is continously showing the apple logo on a black screen. After about 5 minutes, it flashes white, and then starts to show the apple logo on a black screen.
Research online says that I have deleted the Operating System. How do I get this working again?
The phone was recognized by USB before I selected Erase all Content and Settings.
Now, if I plug it into USB, it charges the phone but itunes doesnt recognize.
Please help!!!!!
PS: My powerbutton does not respond when I press on it. Its broken,

Had the same problem, do this,
Force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • IPhone 4 stuck on apple logo after ios 5?

    I had iOS 5 for about 2 days, and now I restarted my device and it is stuck on the apple logo. if i go into the dfu mode, it gives me error 3194 when i try to restore and update. pls help, thanks

    "This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."

  • TS1538 iPhone 2G not recognized by iTunes after erasing all content

    Okay, I am trying to fix and iPhone 2G. I decided to erase its contents, which apparently erased the iOS as well. However, how can I add an iOS if iTunes and my computer are not recognizing it? I already have the 3.12 IPSW downloaded so I could have restored in iTunes, but for no reason now. Also, it only shows the Apple logo with a loading, freezing circle. I have no idea what is the cause, and would really like a solution. Thanks.

    You need to put it in DFU mode.

  • IPhone 3GS Stuck At Apple Logo.

    I have an iPhone 3Gs that is stuck on the apple logo screen. Tried doing all kinds of restores and putting it into DFU mode but iTunes wont recognize it and will not even boot up. Just simply stuck at the apple logo screen until the phone dies. Any ideas?

    If none of those work, use all of these:

    Hello Usmanoo7,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    You may need to perform a recovery-mode restore if the device displays the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar for over ten minutes.
    Best of luck,

  • IPhone 3G stuck at Apple logo

    Hi,
    My iPhone didn' t respond anymore.
    I did the recovery and DFU mode but now it's stuck at the Apple logo and reboots all the time.
    I tried it with 3 pc's to get it working again.
    2 are Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit OS) the other one runs OSX Mountain Lion.
    What else can i do to get the phone working again?
    Thanks in advance

    I got it to work again with help of a friend.
    He told me to reset the device twice with holding the power/sleep and home button.
    After that i could restore my phone and after a couple of os freezes it runs well at the moment.

  • Iphone 4 stucks at Apple logo and loading cycle. How to fix it?

    Hi, i have an iphone 4 v4.3.3. After i installed some tweaks, it now got stuck at Apple logo and loading cycle. I try to get into safe mode, but it doesn't work. What should i do now? Do i have to restore it? If so, what version can i restore to? Help me please! Thanks in advance.

    Hello i_rath
    You would need to restore your iPhone by following the steps in the article below. You would need to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. The version of iOS that will be installed will depend on what version of iTunes you are running.

  • My iphone 4g stucks on apple logo

    I had upgraded my IPhone 4 software version 4.3 to 5.0 two days back but today evening when I restarted my phone, it stuck on Apple logo screen and did't bootup. When I'm attaching it with my PC it gives a maqssage on Itunes
    " Itunescould not connect to the Iphonebecause it is locked passcode. You must enter your passcode on the Iphone beforeit can be used with itunes"
    But on Iphone screen I'm not able to see any activity except apple logo.
    Kindly suggest.

    Try to reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.
