Iphone 3gs stuck at loading screen after reset all data

I bought my iphone 3gs about an hour ago and to have my privacy i reset first the network and next i reset all my data then it restart and now its still at the loading screen about 1hr. Thank u for the help!

Hello KylaAquino,
It sounds like you are unable to boot your iPhone successfully after performing a Reset All content and Settings. I recommend first attempting to reset the device in this manner:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If that does not get you booted to the setup screen, I would next try putting the phone into recovery mode, and attempting a restore with iTunes. This article will help you with that:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

  • IPhone 3GS stuck on activation screen after updating to iOS 6.13

    Hi!
    I have updates my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.13 and it got stuck in the activation mode.
    I went to see Apple Genius and was told that my phone has locked itself to O2 simcard only.
    I contacted O2 and my iPhone has just been unlocked.
    however, when I try to finish the activation it still keeps failining with the message when I use WiFi:
    "could not activate iPhone, your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    When I try through iTunes, it says: "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
    Next available appointments at near apple stores are only mid-week..
    any advice on what should I do?
    I tried restoring it (held lock button until logo came up), but it keeps taking me to activation screen.
    any help would be much appreciated...

    Is there a SIM in the device?  A SIM is required for activation.
    The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken.  If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • Iphone 5 stuck on loading screen after update. Need help!

    So I lacked space on my phone to update to iOS8 via WiFi so I attempted to via desktop.
    Seemed to be working well until I got to a loading screen on iTunes saying "Restoring iPhone Software".
    Phone is also on loading screen and has reached roughly 1/10 of the way then stopped.
    Tried unplugging it multiple times and it ends up doing the same thing.
    I just want my phone to work without having to take it in to an Apple Store.
    Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Probably should have left it alone.  Sometimes it will act as though it is frozen but it is still updating.  May have to do a DFU restore.  Hope you have a backup.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck at emergency screen after 4.01 update

    1st of all i would like to say sorry if this has been posted before.. i did a search and it turns out to be a gazillion hits... no time to search all of them.
    i bought the iphone from malaysia last week.. and the ppl activate it while it was still on 3.1.3 firmware..now im back in my country ( Brunei Darussalam) and ive update it to 4.01.. and now im stuck at the emergency call screen.. it wont activate with itunes as it stated the sim is not supported...
    if anyone knows how to overcome this please do tell... thanks..
    p/s never been jailbreak before...

    The device was jailbroken when you purchased it most likely.
    When you did the upgrade, it relocked to the original carrier.
    The solution now is:
    1)Sell it and buy an iPhone intended for your country.
    2)Jailbreak it.
    3)Contact the carrier it was originally intended for and see if they offer unlocking.

    Although not illegal, Apple discourages a user from modifying the iPhone OS in any manner, including "jailbreaking".  Apple feels so strongly about this that discussing methods to assist a user trying to either jailbreak or "unjailbreak" an iPhone are prohibited.

  • IPOD stuck on loading screen after ios6 update!!

    My ipod is stuck on the loading screen after updating to io6, when connected to the computer it is saying updated, but it stuck and remains on the update loading screen.

    If not successful try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch is stuck on loading screen after slide to unlock. HELP!

    So, my iPod touch 4G is stuck on the loading screen after i unlock it. Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem. Just had my iTouch in less than a week! Help please! thank you

    - First try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect to computer and restore if you can.
    - If the loading screen still shows, let the batter fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • IPod Touch stuck at loading screen after clicking Erase all Content and Settings

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch running iOS 5.0.1 and I recently jailbroke it. I wanted to update to iOS 6 so I went to Settings>Genera>Reset and clicked on Erase all Content and Settings. It is now stuck on the spinning loading screen and its been like this for 3 hours. My homebutton no longer works so I can't put it into DFU mode. I tried to restore in itunes but it won't even connect to itunes and dosn't show up at all. If you have any info, please post. I really don't wanna have to replace my home button or get a new iPod. Thanks

    Try the following as much as you can without Home button working. When it says to place the iPod in recovery mode use this program.

  • Iphone is stuck on loading screen

    Out of the blue my iphone 3gs just shut off. i tried rebooting it but it just stays on the apple logo screen and it appears to be loading and then it shuts off but cuts back on, on its own!

    I tried that as well. And restoring it from iTunes and the charging idea from above. It still shuts off and then if and when it does power up, it has the apple screen like it's resetting. If and when I get to the home screen, it shows my battery low and shuts off again - even though I just fully charged it. What is the next step - a repair shop? Or hopefully someone has some more tips? Thanks for the original posting of the issues - this is exactly why I came here today!

  • Iphone 5s stuck on loading screen from icloud backup restore

    Just bought my phone last night and went through the setup. I selected backup from icloud and it did its thing and then restarted... now it's stuck on the loading screen with the apple logo. The loading bar is barely loaded... I figured it was because I had a lot of data to load onto the new phone. It's been 10 hours because I left it alone for the night. Please help!

    Had to have my new 5s replaced last night due to the hardware issue and had the same issue with 5s and iCloud restore, just stuck on the apple screen with a partial progress bar.   I was able to kill it and get into the phone but the restore would not finish.
    I realized that my back-ups were from iOS 7.0.4 and the new phone was at 7.0.3 and becuase the restore was in the never ending progress I could not install the latest version.
    I wiped the device,  settings -  general -  reset erase all..    and set it up a new device WITHOUT restoring from backup.    Updated the os to iOS 7.0.4 (settings - general - software update) and let it finish all the way.
    After confirming the device was at the latest iOS version I then wiped the device again, settings -  general -  reset erase all...  and set up again and selected to restore from iCloud backup.
    All is good.... restore finished and life is as it should be.

    Hi FrickJawn
    My iPhone was also stuck for 2 whole weeks.  I thought nothing could be done after I went to the Apple Store in 2 different locations whose personnel told me 'buy a new iPhone'.  So stupid of them technically when around the world, the same problem recurring million times.
    Try this link :  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    It helped me to restore my iPhone fully in working order.  Good luck to you

  • TomTom europe v 1.9 iPhone 4 stuck at loading screen

    I bought TomTom europe 1.9 on the AppStore for 90 dollars but after starting it, I only see the loading screen ( for about 49 min now!) i use an iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1
    Thanks in advance!

    It is a huge amount of data.  If it's the "Western Europe" that I have, it is 1.8GB after loading, and the load will probably need at least 3GB to do the job.  I suggest a visit to a pub, or do some shopping. 

  • My iphone is stuck on loading circle after erasing iphone from find my iphone

    So one night i was just playing on a app and it froze, i waited about 5 mins and it was still frozen, so i turned off my iphone and from their is where all my problems started.  After waiting a long time for it to start up again my pressing my home button since my lock button is broke, i decided to look up ways on how to solve my problem.  What i found was i had to erase my phone from find my iPhone so i could restore my iphone in itunes.  Well, after erasing my iphone,, it just stayed on a black screen with the loading circle in the middle of it.  It won't connect to itunes either so i can restore it and i don't know what to do.  If you have any advice on what i should do please reply.

    is it possible if my phone runs out of batter, i could plug it in and maybe the loading screen will be gone or can i really just do nothing about it
