IPhone 3GS hung on reset

After a hard reset my iPhone 3GS is stuck on the restart logo. It's been there for five hours and is unresponsive to anything, including another reset. When I plug it into my computer, I get an error code. Anyone have advice?

do you have a jailbroken phone?

My iPhone 3GS won't reset itself.

I've pressed the power button and menu button together fir ten seconds, I then get the apple sign which is normal; howler instead of loading onto the main screen, I just get the thinking circle. I've tried doing it with the charger installed, but get the same thing. I'm not sure what to do now.

Try restoring via iTunes. I really think it's time for an upgrade. You should really consider an iPhone 4 AT LEAST since they aren't so expensive used. If you check on Craigslist, you can find one for $100. The Retina Display part is so much better than standard resolution on the 3GS and below's screen.

You are getting this error as your iPhone appears to be jailbroken.

My iphone 3gs is factory reset now for three hours and the charger still!

I do not know what to do for it to work. Have tästat try to stop but you can not have tried to take out the sim card but it does not work either! For help with this now!

Sounds like a trip to the Genius Bar is in your future.

Why cant i drag and drop from itunes library to iphone 3gs

I have had numerous problems with iphone 3gs so I reset it to factory settings but now I can't drag and drop my music from itunes library to iphone. I have checked the box to manage music manually but still no joy, any suggestions pls?

Because you do not have manually manage music selected?

My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

TS4006 Is there a way to show last location of a iPhone 3GS if its offline now or been reset!?

I had a iPhone 3GS I was using As a iPod basically to store music in my car and play videos and things.
However, someon broke into my car stealing said phone and radio and misc other stuff. And I cannot locate it on find my iPhone or anything like that.
So i figure someone wiped the phone and reset it.
However, it would be invaluable to see where this was done at and find out who stole all my stuff and broke into my car. So I could at least eliminate that person as my friend. Cause I think it was a person that knew me that did it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I only have the box the phone came in and the imei number from at an t.
Thanks in advance.

Best help that anyone can give you here is advice to contact police.

HT201328 after unlocking from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this . Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks
Joe

ITunes crashing when syncing with my iphone 3gs on a Vista machine post upgrade..have tried the netsch winsock reset but no luck...any ideas?

Upgraded my iTunes to the latest version and upgraded my iPhone 3gs to IOS5. Unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes after upgrade and is getting stuck on Step1. I am running my iTunes on Windows Vista PC and have tried the solution of netsh winsock reset and still no luck.
Also, I am not able to see any of my music on the phone post upgrade, but it shows on iTunes. Again not sure on how to make it appear on my phone. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Cheers,
Kishore

my advice to you is to SWITCH TO SOMETHING BESIDES "VISTA"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook2010 Calendar and Outlook2010 Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.
