IPhone 3GS stopped working after update

When I updated my iPhone to the latest version today everything went OK when downloading, but suddenly it told me that the disc (C:\ om my PC) was full. When I cleared some space it continued, but didn't find the software afterwards. In fact my iPhone froze with the image of the white plug and the blue iTunes music-logo afterwards.
I've tried resetting my PC and reinstalling iTunes. I've also held the on-buttons on top an at the bottom in 'till the white Apple appears, but my phone won't go any further. Neither do I have the option to reset anything from within iTunes, as it doesn't recognise my phone.
Now I'm wondering: Is there a remedy?
Appreciate all the help and guidance I can get. In advance thank you!

See if you can get it into recovery mode using RecBoot so Itunes will recognize it. Then try a manual install.

  • Iphone 5 stopped working after updated to IOS 7.1

    I have just updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7.1 and unfortunately it stopped working. I can not turn it on. Anyone got the same problem? My phone is already out of warranty so I have no idea how much it would cost to fix my died phone

    My sons iPhone 5 did the same thing after updating to iOS 7.1.
    You may have to connect the device to a computer running iTunes and do a restore on the device. Restore as new. If you don't have a backup everything will be lost but you may get the device working again.

  • My iphone-4 stopped working after updating it to iOS 5

    I tried upgrading my i-phone 4 to the new oerating system iOS5 and now it stopped working. it says connect to i-tunes and when I tried doing it my pc does not detect I-phone. can anyone help?

    Same as I posted to another user:
    well I only have a 3gs so I'm not all up on the current but the way I see it you have a few option's depending on the route you want to take,
    If you don't mind loosing what's on the phone (if you want to try save info try 2 before 1)
    1. (Best Chance) put the iphone into DFU mode, (1. turn off iphone while plugged into computer, then hold the sleep button count to three 2. then hold the home button whiile still holding the sleep button, count to 10 3. release the sleep button but keep home button,) then itune should detect the phone and offer to restore it, this should restore it
    1b.  I would repeat above with a active SIM card, doesn't make a difference where I live but you never know
                   I'd suggest this if your having problems connecting
    1c.  I would try On difference Computer (rule out bad download, currupt driver's etc etc)
    If you want to try save the information then I would say you are doing some of this at your own risk as I'm not sure about apple rules regarding these, the steps should all be legal but might void your warrently so be warned!
    2. Download a utility call Tinyumbrella ( http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ ) and have you phone connected and run the program, on the left should be a list of connected devices (make sure itunes is closed) click on the device connected and on the right click exit recovery, hopefully your device will reboot normally, (there's also an fix recovery option but I've never used that)
    2b this option is to jailbreak your phone as that "hacktivates" your phone if using this option and it works I suggest a FULL backup then follow option 1 above, download a program call Redsn0w ( http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w ) and follow the instructions that come with it, again if this works I suggest a full backup then follow option 1 about even if you do wish to stay "jailbroken"
    this advice is just some idea's as you have given no information on what happen or firmware involved current mood of phone ^^ I can only hazard a guess at the problem< if after these steps is doesn't work i suggest trying to bring it back and get someone professional to look at it

  • My iPhone 3GS stopped working after one year one month, and is totally unresponsive.

    I went to plug my phone into my stereo as I do daily and it just stopped working. Totally unresponsive.

    Charge it for 30 minutes with a wall charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    BTW, it's a holiday in the US and UK, so amazingly enough, many users are out enjoying themselves, which is why you didn't get an instantaneous response. Even then expecting an answer in less than 30 minutes in an all volunteer forum is optimistic.

  • HT201210 the iphone 3g stopped work when updated to os6, is this happening to everyone?

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • Earpiece stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.

    It worked fine the night before.  Then it stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.  I can only hear calls on speaker.  Did anyone else have this problem.  I have tried all the fixes, restart, reboot, restore.  No debris in the headphone jack, and when volume is turned up or down it doesn't show headphones on the screen.  Nothing covering the earpiece.  Tried to blow out headphone jack with compressed air.  I'm thinking it is a glitch in the software.  Using Iphone 4 on Verizon.  Any thoughts or ideas?

  • I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?

    I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?..and what features are missing for 3gs

    I have iphone3gs just upgraded to iOS5 just now.
    So far i am not experiencing any slow down because of the new iOS.. Rather i feel like its slightly faster than the previous version (4.3.5)..
    One of the first thing i want to try was the location based reminders.. After upgrade i coudn't find the option, and went trough the user manual to find out that it is not available for 3gs..:(

  • HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

    Good morning to all,
    My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
    It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
    I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
    I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
    Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

    Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

    I hate it when updates break things instead of fixing them. Can't Mozilla leave well enough alone? At the very least, each new release should be tested so it works with ALL PREVIOUS extensions!
    Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.
