IPhone 4 apple logo loop after update, unique problem.

Please take the time to fully read this question before copying and pasting the generic apple help links please
Okay so today I decided to update my phone to the latest iOS version, and upon completion I got the infinite apple logo loop problem. The standard approach I know is to do the recovery solution on your itunes. Well, here lies the problem. My laptop which has my iTunes is currently badly broken, and cannot be used. I thought that oh I'd be able to use my iTunes account on a different computer, but to my annoyance, my password is different to the one I use to confirm IAP. So I try the recovery methods, first birthday. My birthday is wrong, tried a varied range to no avail. Tried email, non of my 3 only used emails work, till I look and see the Apple ID email is slightly different to the ones I currently use, but I can't even create the email it uses as I don't know of any way I can make a .co.uk email now.
So I am stuck in a very unique situation, need to recover my iPhone via iTunes, but my iTunes can't be accessed. Is there anyway around this or am I completely screwed? I don't want to just cut my losses and make a new Apple ID/wipe my phone as I have lots of much needed information in my notes etc that I can't afford to lose and that I don't remember by heart.
Any constructive responses would be greatly appreciated.

if it is stuck in a reboot loop and u HAVE to do a recovery mode restore. there is no choice. u will have to get rid of that information. call applecare (1-800-275-2273) to get help with getting access to ur apple id, but for now, u need to get ur phone working first.
to help with a loop problem sometimes a hard reset will work. hold down the power button and the home button at the same time for 20 seconds. its kinda like holding down the power button on a computer.
if that doesnt work then u will need to place it into recovery mode and do a restore. that WILL delete what is on the phone currently but if u have a back up either on itunes or icloud u can restore that back up onto the phone afterwards.

IPhone 1st Generation Apple Logo Loop

My Problem: The past few years I've been having a problem with my iPhone 1st Generation.
What's Been Happening: My iPhone has been going into a "Apple Logo Loop"
What I've Been Doing: I've been looking up what I should do. The same thing has been coming up "On the iPhone hold Start/Sleep button and Home button, keep holding it until the Apple Logo shows up. Release both buttons then." I've been doing that but nothing's been happening. What I mean is... the iPhone screen is black. Then, I hold the Power button at the top right until I see the Apple Logo. As I see it, I still hold the Power button but then hold the Home button as well. After that, the screen goes black and then it turns back on. Then, I see the Apple Logo with a little loading sign in the middle, like it's trying to start up. Finally, it just turns off again. Every time I try, it does the same thing. Once, it came up with telling me to plug it into the computer, but then it quickly disappeared. I've also tried to put it into DFU Mode, but it seems that something is blocking it from doing so. It turns off but it seems that something is forcing it to turn back on.
HELP!: I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not sure if it's completely dead and nothing can fix it. I took it to a place to see if they could to attempt to fix it but they failed to do so. If anybody can please be out there and help me that would be completely great. If you do reply, I might not reply back right away, but I will reply sometime during that day.
Thanks

P.S. This is my first time making a post, so I might've done something wrong in the processing...

Hey there,
It sounds like the phone keeps rebooting on its own even during a restore. I would try resetting the device while it is connected to a power source:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists, I would put the device into recovery mode with the following article and attempt the restore 1 more time:

IPhone 5c won't restore, stuck between recovery mode & apple logo loop

Hello all,
I got a lovely little iphone 5c secondhand. The only problem is that it will not cooperate with me.
At first, it was stuck in recovery mode, but I can switch it out of that, and into the apple logo loop or dfu.
No matter what I do though, (recovery mode, dfu, loop), it will NOT restore.
It gives me an error code of 3014 every time.
Once in awhile it also loads a screen of script, that ends in "panic, we're hanging here" or some such.
I HAVE seen it load to the lock screen twice now, but only for a split second. And while it did that, iTunes told me it couldn't connect to "Jessica's iPhone" due to the passcode. So I know something in there still works. Just not sure about what ISN'T working.
I'm REALLY hoping someone on here can help!
And sorry if I don't have all the info you need/posted in the wrong area. First time here.
Thanks in advance!!

My iphone 5s lose Touch-id after update ios 7.1 . What should i do now ? My Iphone is from HongKong but now i lives in Viet Nam . Is there anyway that I can transfer my Iphone to Apple Hongkong

Pls help me
My iphone 5s lose Touch-id after update ios 7.1 . What should i do now ? My Iphone is from HongKong but now i lives in Viet Nam . Is there anyway that I can transfer my Iphone to Apple Hongkong

In iOS 7.1, the setting has changed locations and is in the same grouping with General, Wallpapers, etc. Also, if you have not set a passcode, you cannot see or set Touch ID. If you restored the phone as new and it still does not provide you the option to set a passcode, and then Touch ID, then it is possible there is a hardware error. Since you purchased the device in Hong Kong, as described before, you can only get a friend/relative to take it to Apple, or you will have to do it yourself. Unfortunately that is what can happen when you need warranty work and have purchased a device outside of the country that you live in.

Iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0 and later to iOS 5.1

My iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0. I can no longer make and receive calls. If I am successful in making a call, it will never end even after pressing stop. The problem still persists even after updating to iOS 5.1. How do I resolve this problem?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Endless restarting and flashing on Apple logo loop

My iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.2 is in a endless rebooting loop. I cannot turn it off. I cannot restore or recovery or anything in recovery mode or DFU. all of my programs are up to date. When I plug it in the wall it start in a endless loop, apple logo appears, after 3 second a white page blinking and then it restart again.
I checked the battery and power cable and sensor, both of them are working well.
please help me, how should I do? what`s the problem?

As I posted to another similar question, I got this problem fixed followingly (is that a word?):
For those like myself who don't backup your device regularly and fear you may lose data, there is hope. My 4S started looping the apple logo at start up and wouldn't go anywhere from there, the screen went black and then the apple logo would appear again over and over... Browsing around I found that recovery mode and resetting the phone was suggested, some suggested downloading software to fix the issue but I found that rather dodgy so I decided to try something else.
Now I must remind you that opening your phone will void your warranty or such if still applicable, my phone's maybe four three years old and I've replaced the screen myself so I figured I'd try something to shock the phone back into life somehow (think the last popup reminder said I hadn't backed up in 29 weeks so meh).
What I did was opened up the back cover and removed the battery, plugged it back into the charger (other end in my mac) but the loop would still occur. I plugged and unplugged a few times, unplugging right after the apple appeared, hoping for this to "confuse" the phone which was so stubbornly stuck in "recovery mode" (from what I've understood through other threads). Notice that the phone did appear to turn on without the battery connected, but plugged into a power source (not sure if that should happen since after dead battery you need to charge a while until the phone wakes up), just something mildly interesting I picked up on.
This did not appear to have any effect tho, but I decided to pop the battery back in its place (I did leave out the little black plate that goes between the battery connector and the motherboard, covering the antenna cables connecting point, not sure if that had any effect or how it would effect fully working phones (I only use this phone as an "ipod" since the sim reader has been dead for some time, but I still use the camera and music)). Pressed the power button and noticed the apple logo stayed for longer than before (became hopeful!) and eventually made way for my home-screen!
That's how I got it working, don't know if you can do a similar thing with other models. And sorry for rambling on like that, that's just how I express myself and I can't afford to hire an editor to work my internet posts. But I can leave a TL;DR version.
TL;DR Iphone 4s stuck on logo loop? disconnect battery and do magic.

Apple logo loop / recovery mode

I was updating my iPhone 4s to ios 8 and needed to use my phone. I pressed the power butting but with no luck I held the power button and home button together until the phone shut off. It came back on with the recovery itunes logo and cord screen.
My photos are my work and they're so important that I cant do a restore because I dont have a backup. I read about Reiboot, Tinyumbrella, Recboot etc. I decided to give Reiboot a try and I plugged my iPhone in, clicked "exit recovery mode" and it told me the exit recovery was successful. But my iPhone just went into an apple logo loop. I tried many things to get it out of the loop but the only thing I could do was put it back in recovery mode. Is there any way I can get to my files? Any help would be appreciated!

I'm afraid at this point your data is lost and the only option is to connect in recovery mode to your computer and restore the phone:

I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

Nope
One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
The other thing I could recommend
Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
It may take a day or two with it not being used
Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store
