My iPhone 3GS keeps rebooting and won't stop.

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS 16GB to the latest iOS 6.0.0 version and I am experiencing some problems. I turned off the device before replacing sim-card. After the repacement of the sim card, I booted the iphone. It showed the apple logo, then to the "Slide to unlock" page. I tried to unlock the thing but the phone was frozen, then it rebooted completely by it self. Again it turned on, showed the apple logo, showed the slide to unlock page, then turned off, then started. This repeated and couldn't stop. I did try the DFU method, Restore iPhone (I didn't install much apps after updating). At some times it reboots right after the apple logo.

Try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device.
If that doesn't take care of it, head over to the iPhone Service Answer Center.

Hiya thankyou for the answer.
Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
Thankyou again,

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting, brand new, never jailbroken

I bought an iPhone 3GS in 2010. Worked perfectly until iOS 5.1, then it started rebooting whenever the SIM-card was in, but worked fine as a iPod Touch whenever the SIM was removed. Also, it needed to be restored after each reboot because iTunes couldn't identify it. I took it to the Apple store (on 5th Ave, if that's any relevant information). The Genius told me it had nothing to do with the software. The phone was broken. He did not specify what exactly was broken, but he offered me a replacement for about 160 USD (that's including tax). I accepted and was happy for my new phone until the same problem occured after just four days of getting the new phone. I'd take it to the store again, but the problem is - I don't actually live in New York. Currently living in Denmark. Brought it to my service provider, and they told me the phone was broken. Called Apple but they couldn't help me, since it was out of warranty.
TLDR
Had an iPhone 3GS, kept rebooting and had to be restored when SIM-card active. Got it replaced to the exact same model (iPhone 3GS 32 GB), same exact problem. Neither Apple or service provider will help me.
Neither phones had ever been jailbroken or used by anyone else.

Your only option is to bring the phone back to the US for exchange. Warranty is NOT worldwide.
There really is nothing else we users can do for you.

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting iOS 5

I am at the stage that I am HATING having spent £300 on a phone that messes up every week!
My iPhone was running absolutely bang on on iOS 4.3.3 but like an idiot I decided to update it to 5.0 !
Now that it has been updated it has been running fine for like a week, however last night when I put it on charge it keeps restarting every 3 minutes for no absolute reason!
I switched my phone off and on again and still does the same thing!
I connected my iPhone to iTunes on DFU mode so that I could try to restore it, however no success!
So I went online and checked for new updates, found out that the iOS 5.0.1 was out which could be why Apple is playing with me?
I again connected my iPhone to iTunes and went for the update (my iPhone is still in DFU mode) it downloads most of the iOS 5.0.1 684.9 out of 685.0 MB and gives me an error saying network connection interrupted?! I tried it 4/5 times! Always does the same!
I do not know what to do anymore!
Please HELP!

Here is a solution I found searching the web. It worked for me so i hope it will help you guys out.
OK.........Finally I found the solution for sim problem with update 5.0.1 and the solution for fixing the iphone 3gs keeps rebooting or keeps restarting after 3-2 minutes?
for fixing the sim issues with update 5.0.1 or the rebooting problem do the following:
Take the     sim out
enable     the 3G and cellular date in network     setting
than     insert the sim back
the     netwok will register your sim via 3G not GSM
than after     3 minutes turn off 3G and cellular data
congratulation………your problem had been solved?...Im not an expert…but its seems this update 5.0.1…is not suitable for 3GS phones as they have ( special tapfro turning 3g on and off)this update is suitable for iphone 4?which enable automatically 3G.
The apple should have warn all 3GS phone about that ………not waiting some one not expert like me to solve it out?
Anyway……………have a nice day every one

Iphone 3gs keeps switching off during phone call showing apple logo

My iphone 3gs keeps switching of during phone calls. The apple logo appears and I have to wait until it switches itself back on, this happens without my help, any ideas please

Try restoring the iPhone. If a normal restore doesn't work, try setting it up as a new device.

HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?

IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Iphone 3gs keeps rebooting durning calls after 8mins

ipone 3gs keeps rebooting durning calls after 8mins

My Wife had a similar issue with my hand-me-down 3GS! it turned out she had dropped it a few times and the SIM reader contacts were slightly damaged, so the network was dropping out regularly, causing the phone to search too often and overheat.
Apple may be kind enough to replace it, give them a call.

Not recieving calls or texts on my iphone. Just noticed this about 4 hrs ago. Help!

I just noticed that I am not receiving calls or texts on my iphone. I am able to call out and receive voice mail.. I tried turning it off and back on, and also took out the SIM card and replaced it. Still not working. Any suggestions?

Hey weatherlover!
Wow! I hope the weather is great where you're at and not affecting your phones! That sure is a problem that you are having. Let's see if we can get it fixed.
Now, are you not getting ALL calls or is it just some? Is this mainly indoors? Signal strength may vary indoors just based on the building and sometimes the call will not be able to find your phone and result in a simple voicemail notification. Also, have you made sure like Ann154 stated that your phones are programed correctly? What happens on the one device when you try and make a call? Do you get an error or any error when send/receiving a text? Let us know!
Thanks!

Iphone 3GS keeps crashing and wont hang up after out & incoming calls after repairs

I have had my iphone 3GS back to vodafone after I could not make calls, kept saying call failed!. I did all the troubleshooting tips, was okay for a short time, then shortly started doing same thing.I took it back to the store and on that occasion the assistant took the phone out of the protective cover i always had it in to replace the simcard in case it was this that was causing the problem ,then he dropped it onto the shops wooden floor and it bounced, he picked it up & went bright red & kept apologising , I then said if I have any more problems with it then I will come back & see him & he said yes. Shortly after I noticed the sim cover on top of phone was missing but i could see the simcard inside, so I returned to the store & informed them of this, i was advised by the earlier assistant 'Craig' that he thought that the sim tray was underneath the simcard which he then removed the simcard, then advised me he didn't want to go poking about in it in case it was inside and he would send the phone to be repaired & gave me a replacement phone until mine was back. I waited approx 2 weeks before receiving a call from Vodafone saying they would repair it if I payed over £100! as it was not covered under my insurance, I informed them the assistant dropped the phone in store and then i noticed the problem & was then told they would investigate this and call back, 10 minutes later they called back to say it would be a free repair. Since the repair I have had nothing but trouble with the phone crashing when I access apps , sticking on the hangup screen with in & out going calls for approx 10 minutes or more, when I turn phone on the Apple logo stays on the screen for long periods off time. When I access my music the track will change part way through to another track & also sometimes refusing to charge. I am fed up with going back & forth to the store which is quite a distance from my home & the phone has more problems since it was ''dropped'' & then ''repaired'' & I am at a loss of what to do. I feel I have been treated unfairly and gone along with all Vodafone asked of me. Please could someone from Apple help me!!!

The steps you already took were the correct ones - reset, restore from backup, restore as new phone. You could always try them again, but a Restore with set up as new is the 'ulitmate' troubleshooter - if that doesn't correct the issue, it's usually time for a replacement phone. Unfortunately, you've learned a hard lesson there, although I don't see how Apple screwed you - it's no secret that the iPhone warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase (as a little research on your part would have shown).
See how much money you saved with your eBay purchase? Next time buy the phone from Apple or an authorized UK carrier.

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting into iOS 6 screen

My iPhone 3GS (Which is updated to the latest version, and not jailbroken) keeps randomly crashing and then rebooting to a screen that says iOS 6 on the slide to unlock screen, and then when I slide to unlock it shows a connect to iTunes screen. iTunes says it's in recovery mode, but I've recovered it a million times and it still keeps happening. TinyUmbrella says it's not in recovery mode and I can use it to get into recovery mode and then out of it and it works like normal for like 20 minutes and then it crashes again. Does anyone have a fix or a similiar problem?

Here they are, sorry for bad quality, I can only take pictures with my webcam since my phone broke.
When I connect it to iTunes it tells me it's in recovery mode (Which I'm pretty sure it's not, since recovery mode has a black background and TinyUmbrella says it's not)

Iphone 3GS keeps rebooting

(Feel free to just read "the problem" and skip the rest.)
Background:
My iPhone 3GS recently quit working. I had paid for Apple Care, but when I took it into the store, they claimed it had water damage and wouldn't fix it. B.S. They said water damage could happen from as little as taking the phone from a cold car into a warm building. Why bother with Apple Care if you live anywhere cold then? But that's neither here nor there - it's just a warning to those considering buying Apple Care.
Instead of paying $149 to get it fixed, I decided to take a stab at it myself, since the warrenty is already voided (from condensation?). The original problem was that the phone would only turn on when plugged into the wall, but then wouldn't move past the "connect to iTunes" stage and I couldn't connect to iTunes because it wouldn't power up when plugged into the computer. I ended up puting in a new battery and now it turns on just fine, but . . .
The problem:
It reboots every few minutes like clockwork. It seems that others have had this problem and I've been reading the posts trying to figure out how to handle it. The tactic that seems to work most often is using DFU mode, but it seems my iphone will only go regular restore mode (at least, I think this is the case because the screen doesn't stay black for very long - it goes to the apple screen relatively early in the process). When I use restore mode, it goes smoothly at first, but unfortunately the length of time it will stay on is less than the length of time it takes to do the restore, so it keeps turning off mid-restore and then I get an error message.
Other possibilities:
Maybe this is related to the fact that it doesn't have service now? But the problem happens even if I put it in airplane mode and even if it's connected to wifi. It seems to keep trying to find service and after a few minutes, it reboots. I could possibly borrow a sim card from someone else with an iPhone 3 to see if it works when it has service.
Others have suggested that maybe this problem means an internal part wasn't put back right. Any thoughts on what? I'm afraid to open it up and poke around cause new problems.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hate to say, but if your phone has been rebooted, restored or recovered. It sounds like a hardware issue. Send it to the refuribish line with the rest of them. Now i know you said you restored it. but there are a couple other ways of doing it that might help.
1. Reboot methods. The first thing to do is try to reboot the iPhone, which you can do by holding the top button and the home button for about ten seconds. In some cases, the iPhone is actually still on, but a bug stops the screen from displaying anything, so you can reverse the problem by doing the reboot. If you still see nothing on the screen, try to plug the iPhone in and again try the reboot methods to see if you can get the screen to display.
2. Restoring the iPhone. If the iPhone shows up in iTunes, but it still doesn't seem to turn on, it's definitely a display problem. When rebooting fails, you can restore the iPhone from iTunes, and this should fix whatever bugs caused the original issue. Realize that you'll have to reload your music if you restore to another software version. To restore, plug the iPhone in, go into iTunes and click the iPhone's icon on the side of the select screen. Click on the restore button and agree to the prompt asking if you really want to restore the iPhone's software.
3. Recovery mode. You can put the iPhone into recovery mode if it has a charged battery by holding down the home button before connecting it to iTunes, then continuing to hold the button until iTunes recognizes that the iPhone's in recovery mode. Recovery mode is a bare-bones way of booting the iPhone that allows you to perform a restore when you're dealing with a serious issue such as the iPhone failing to turn on or display anything on its screen.
try one of these if you havent already. if still nothing, its time to take it in or get a new phone.
