IPhone 3GS Won't turn on after trying to install OS 4.1, HELP!

So i updated iTunes to the newest version earlier and then plugged in my iphone 3gs and downloaded the newest OS, 4.1 i think, it downloaded fine and then started to install then came up with an error on itunes and then the iphone turned off or something and wont turn back on, ive tried to charge it and leave it and its not working, help me please :S

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.

  • 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??

    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.

    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.

  • 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

  • Ipad won't turn on after trying to backup from ICloud

    I need help getting my Ipad to turn on after trying to restore from an ICloud backup. My Ipad is up to date on software. I went back to factory setting and that worked. Then when I tried to restore from an ICloud backup, it started the process and somehow got frozen in the process. After a few hours, I pressed the button athe the top and the home button simultaneously and turned it off. When I turned it back on all that comes on is a black screen with an apple in the middle of the screen with a bar below it that is only about a quarter complete. Please help me.

    It sounds like you need to restore your iPad and you will probably need recovery mode now.
    Recovery mode - Support - Apple
    You could try resetting the iPad one more time, but I don't think it is going to work.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 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.

  • Mac won't power up after trying Leopard install.  Black screen of death.

    After trying to install an upgrade from Tiger, the installer said that if I wanted to continue, it would install a new volume and erase all my data. That sounded bad, so I hit cancel and chose quit installer from the menu bar. My mac asked which OS I wanted to use to restart my computer, and naturally I chose Tiger, not Leopard. My mac tried to restart and I got the apple logo and the little wheel spinning and then...off. Shut Down. Happens every time I hit the power button. Logo, wheel, off. I was on the phone with apple support for 2 hours and they sent me to a store finally. There they said it was a problem with file corruption on my computer. Not Leopard. They said they were having no problems with Leopard except for people trying to install it on an older model and similar issues. HELP!

    This doesn't sound good at all . . .
    Did the Apple store test your power supply? It would be good
    to know that the basic hardware functions properly.
    And did you try booting from your Tiger install DVD? Assuming
    you can get this far, run Disk Utility from the DVD and check the
    disk - if it finds bad stuff on your disk, and can't fix it, you
    probably do have a corrupted disk. The only solution may be to
    reformat the disk - hope you had a backup copy . . .
    A big guess on my part is this happened when you hit Cancel on
    the install.
    If you have Apple Care (and everyone with a laptop should have
    it), take it to the store, and let them fix it. You'll have a
    nice, clean 10.4.10 on it (or Leopard if you want), and you can
    start over . . . :^(
    Good luck . . .

  • IPhone won't turn on after trying to restore to beta version.

    I was trying to restore my iPhone to the latest beta version and during the restore, an error occurred and my iPhone won't turn on, and iTunes does not recognize it anymore. Now, when i try to turn it on, the logo appears and then appears the "connect to iTunes" image and IMMEDIATELY the screen turns white and Apple's logo appears again and starts all over again.

    If you're a registered developer, you have access to the developers forums. iOS 5 beta can NOT be discussed in the public forums. If you're not a developer, bummer... you shouldn't have installed a stolen beta on your phone, should ya?
