Iphone 3GS keeps restarting after ios 4.3.2 update! Help please.`

So I recently updated my uncles iPhone 3GS from a very old version 3 something to the latest. It randomly restarts within about 5 minutes of using the phone. You could be in a call and it would just shut down. Any help on resolving this issue please?

Sorry unit was upgraded to iOS 4.3.3. Unit is now out of warranty by 23 days. I would like to think out of courtesy that Apple would replace my iPhone for the inconvenience caused by the upgrade as the phone was working perfect prior to the upgrade.
Please help Apple!!!

IPhone 3GS continuously restarting after iOS 6 update

Since I updated it, I've not been able to put it in recovery mode, get iTunes to recognise or turn it out. The apple logo appears for around 3-5s when turned on, but then restarts and repeats until the battery goes flat. Any fix to this or have I just totaled my phone because of this stupid ******* company?

Charge iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 20 minutes, longer will be better, but maybe 20 minutes will work. Then open iTunes on computer. Then connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If this does not work last step would be to perform a DFU Mode Restore.

Hi kaiserleung,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see the information in the article below on troubleshooting this issue where your iPhone is unexpectedly restarting.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support

IPhone 3Gs keeps restarting ever second I've tried everything that I possibly could but nothings working...

Ok I have noticed alot of the same posts but my iPhone 3Gs is restarting every second not minute. It started when I went to restore my phone cause i saw for some odd reason i had over 2gb of memory being waisted by "other" what ever makes that up, anyways so after i restored it I told it to restore from back up ever since then it keeps restarting. help please :-/ ???

Then the next step is to try the process again, this time restoring as a new iPhone rather than from backup. (The restore may not have worked if the source of the problem is contained in your backup.) If restoring it as new doesn't resolve the problem then it is probably a hardware problem and you will need to take it to the Apple store for evaluation. I would save a copy of your backup to your desktop before proceeding so it isn't accidently overwritten. If it is a hardware problem and you end up replacing the phone you will want to restore your new phone from this backup in order to keep your data and settings. You will find the backup at one of these locations:
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Iphone 4 is rebooting after ios 7.1.1 update

Hi,
My Iphone 4 is rebooting and shutting down frequently after ios 7.1.1 update, daily not able to receive calls as it is in shutdown mode and trying to reboot also taking more time, Can some one suggest me the best solution for this problem???

Hi Sekhar_Nutakki,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend these steps if your iPhone is shutting down or restarting unexpectedly:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

IPhone 3GS frozen/rebooting after iOS 5 update.

Hello all,
I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 last night. All seemed well until I noticed the restore was complete. The iPhone was frozen on the Home Screen. The flash of white the runs beneath the slide to unlock is frozen at different intervals everytime the phone reboots itself. I have tried restoring the phone multiple time. I am unable to perform a hard reset because the phone's sleep button is nonfunctional. When the phone decides to reboot itself, about every two minutes, I notice that for a split second it flashes to a gray screen with an iPhone in darker gray. There are words all over the screen but I am unable to read any of it before te phone resets. I think I see a "Peparing to Install" title on the screen, but that is a guess. Any ideas from anyone? I'm really at a loss of what to do.

An update on my problem above. I too restored my software but all it got me was losing all of my ZombieLife progress, LOL.
It seems to me that my phone freezes/reboots when it is trying to grab a signal for an update. It has happened to me several times on the initial visit to a website on Safari and also on Nike GPS. I can still see the page I was on in the background a bit but there is no recovering the phone. I have to then hold down the lock button to restart it and sometimes that will not work unless it is on a charger.
Today my battery went from around 70% to the phone saying it needed to be charged in the span of a few minutes. When I did get it on the charger in my car it went back to 66% after rebooting.
I don't know if it means much but I have AppToolKit Lite and in the System Monitor it shows you memory usage. At the moment out of 254.23MB I have 120M Active and the only I am running is the app. Wired is at 40M, Inactive is at 32.20M and Free is at 63.90. This is after I double-clicked the home key and killed all other apps. When there are apps active the Free memory is next to nothing. Not sure if this is a cause but I hope there is a solution soon with 5.01!

Iphone 5 keeps restarting after update of 7.1.2

Hello Everyone,
I have iphone 5. After updating ios 7.1.2 phone keeps restating itself until battery die. Rare time I can see my home screen during restart. I can't do anything to my phone.Touch doesn't work. But when I connect my phone to itunes it shows me everything. Even I have backed up my photos to my pc when phone was restarting. Warranty is expired. Pls help if anyone have idea regarding this issue.

My iPhone 5 started the restarting problem after I updated (OTA) from ios6 to ios7.1.1. The restarts became so frequent that the phone became impossible to use. I then bought a cheap android phone as I believed apple were going to release an update to solve the issue. Imagine my disappointment today after upgrading to ios 7.1.2, and immediately after the upgrade, the phone goes back to the restarting loop!! I doubt that restoring the phone will do any good, I restored mine many times after my previous upgrade.......& still the problem persisted.I am not prepared to go through that pain again. I think I will just save-up & get myself the Galaxy s5 (never thought I would live to see the day that I would say this ). I am deeply disappointed by apple .

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 4 keeps restart after update to ios5

Hi guys,
I just updated my iphone4 to ios 5 several days before. But then the phone keeps restart when I use it, even unlocking the screen! It just goes blank and restarted. Are there anyone having this trouble as well? How can I fix this? Cheers.

I have been experiencing exactly the same issue with my iPhone 4.
I've checked all settings, made sure the ringer is on, and even restored the phone. No luck. I did not have these issues before upgrading.
Also, text message notifications do no show on the lock screen, and, I receive no indication that a text message was received, other than a badge on the iMessage app (which may take hours to notice).

Why does my iPhone 3GS keep restarting on its own, and when I move the phone while its restarting, a white screen comes up and then it takes a while to turn it back on!

So i have an iPhone 3GS and when i move the phone while its restarting, a white screen shows up, and sometimes i need to punch it to turn it on. HELP i dealt with this problem for months and im sick of it! HELP ME!!!!

Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

My iPhone no longer syncs after iOS 5.0.1 update.

I have an iPhone 3GS (16GB), and ever since I updated to iOS 5.0.1 it has been refusing to sync via USB and WIFI. Apparently it needs an additional 8.32GB of space, despite the fact that nothing's changed with regards to the content being synced. I've attached a screenshot for reference.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I had this issue too. I did an OTA update.
I tried turning off my iPhone, removed and reinserted my SIM and turning it on again a few times without success. I also inserted my wife's SIM, it was OK. When I tried with mine again, it was not. I also tried going in and out of Airplane Mode too without success.
Afte a bit of trial and error, I finally got it to work.
What I did was:
1. Turn off WIFI.
2. Turn off my iPhone.
3. Removed and reinserted my SIM.
4. Turned on my iPhone. Almost immediately I saw the "3G" indicator and after a couple of seconds, my SIM worked!
5. Turned WIFI back on.
From my issue, it seems the iOS 5.0.1 update got "confused" with the network setup.
HIH.

Take it to an Apple store and they will diagnose the hardware, and replace it if it is failing (which is likely).
You can try restoring it using iTunes, set it up as New. If the problem exists before your restore your backup then it is almost certainly hardware.

IPhone no longer works after iOS 5.0.1 update

My iPhone 4 no longer recognizes its SIM card after updating from iOS 5.0 to 5.0.1.
I followed the instructions in the article on the official Apple support site. Removing and reinserting the SIM card did not help, so I used iTunes to reset the iPhone.
The result is that after switching on, the iPhone tells me that there is no SIM card in the slot (even if there there is) and that I should insert a SIM card with no PIN lock into the slot.
I do not have a SIM card with no PIN lock.
My phone company only distributes SIM cards with a PIN lock.
What can I do now?
