Iphone 3GS won't turn on after IOS6 update.

I updated my dad's 3GS to IOS 6
Now, It says the update is complete, press okay
after you do this, it then tell's you to connect to itunes.
Then once it is connected, it takes a while to bring phone up, then phone turns off and back to apple screen.
I have tried to reset it aswell and it still isn't working.
What else can I do??

HT1222 iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

Hey lillyluv2010!
Here is an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue:

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 LCIsand 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.

HT4623 iPhone 4s won't switch on after ios6 update.

I updated my iPhone 4s today when I was at school. I put it to one side for it to load. Then when I checked back about 1 hour later, it had switched itself off and now I can't turn it back on again. I've tried plugging it in and connecting it to the computer but nothing seems to work. I don't know whatelse to do! Please help me!!

Ok scratch that. My phone's working again. For all of you who might have the same problem. I just conncted it to the computer and pressed the home and the lock key. Your probably don't even have to connect it to the computer for this to work.
Thank you anyway! (:

Hello amonar,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
Have a nice day,

Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops. It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
Any advice gretly appreciated.

Iphone 3gs does not turn on after ios 6 update

After the ios6 update, my iphone 3gs does not turn on. I see the apple logo, after a minute, it boots again and i see the logo again. This process seems to continue like a circle. After a search the net, i see that i am not the only one. A quick fix and suggestions please, as i need my phone of course.
Btw, Apple, i know that this is an old hardware and i will buy the new iphone 5 when it is available here in my country in December. But of course, you claşmed this update supports my 3gs, you should immediately find a fix
Regards..

Well, i don't see an another solution possible; you should try again and again to restore. Btw, my phone seemed to operate strange (even the stock mail app began to crash) so i tried hard reset (home button + sleep/wake button until seeing the apple logo). After that i found my phone again in dfu mode this night so began restoring again now.
It seems that apple didn't tested ios6 enough with the 3GS. I have a 32 GB phone so this will be near 60 gb download from the icloud over my broadband connection.

HT201263 iPhone 3gs won't turn on

My iphone 3G won't turn on after I installed fonts

My iphone 3G won't turn on and it just stuck on apple logo then loading then turn off then that apple logo appears again .Please help me to fix this problem

As I thought, which means your iPhone has been hacked, which is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions. You need to contact whoever you downloaded the garbage from that allowed you to hack your iPhone and/or the garbage fonts for support with this.

Iphone 6 won't start up after new update

iphone 6 won't start up after update, what can I do?

And it stops at that screen and that is all that shows? Then you need to try and force the device into Recovery Mode and restore. See the instructions in this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

IPhone 4 won't turn on after iOS 6 upgrade

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 it won't turn on. The apple logo keeps flashing on a black screen - as it does when it's about to load, then never does load. What to do?

Hold down Power on/off and home button at same time, when apple logo appears again release.
If still have same problem force recovery mode restore with iTunes, set up as new first making sure phone goes to home screen.
If all good - restore from back up
good luck...

My 3GS won't turn on after Restoring it to my new 4S

I have just bought a brand new 4S 16Gb today & successfully Backed up my old 3GS to iTunes and then used this to 'Restore' my new 4S.
My problem is that my 3GS will not turn on now, all I get is the Apple logo on the screen as if I had done a cold boot (lock & home buttons) but it sticks on that screen. When I connect it to my Mac the same screen appears & iTunes doesn't pick up the device.
I was under the impression that I could continue to use my old 3GS as an 'iPod touch' as I want to keep my TomTom satnav app on the 3GS (due to the connection issues the 4S has with the TomTom iPhone car cradle) but now I'm stuck!
If it helps, right after I 'backed up' my 4S I was able to use the 3GS to delete all the apps (apart from TomTom) and also disable iMessages and remove my Mail & Twitter accounts from the phone. I have since turned it off & my issue has arisen.

There must be a SIM card in the iPhone, but I doubt that is the issue as it would atleast boot up but would give a SIM error.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and then restore it via iTunes.
