IPhone 4 keeps rebooting during final steps of restore...

I had an iPhone 4... never updated to ios 5.... When I first got the phone Nov 5th the following day I had problems with the screen not turning off (sensor not working) and 2 times the sound cut out on my phone. I noticed if I turned my phone on and off sometimes it fixed the problem with the sensor. I took it to apple... they looked at it... turned it off and on... took my otter box off and tried telling me the problem was from the screen protector on my otterbox. I've used the otterbox on every iphone I had and never had an issue. I left the case on and just ignored the problem. Earlier in the week the sound went out on my phone as it does every so often and this time it never came back on. I made an appointment with genius bar... went in the following day. They said they needed to take my phone into the back to look at it. They came back and told me they opened it up and upon opening it they discovered it had water damage. My phone has NEVER touched water. I am very careful with everything I own and have never so much as dropped a phone. They insisted upon the water damage and said I would have to pay 149 for a new phone. I told them I needed to think about it. I put the phone in my pocketbook and went home. When I got there, the phone was off. I plugged it into my charger assuming it died and went in the shower. When I came out, my phone was still off!! I went back to apple the following day. I was told there was nothing they could do and that my only option was to buy a new phone. I paid the 160 or whatever it came out to and went home to restore my phone. Now, since it was a new phone, it automatically had ios 5 on it (which I do not want)... I restored my phone from the backup I did 2 days prior and I had NO TEXTS or APPS!! This is a huge problem because I need to have my texts for work. I have since tried to restore my phone 4 times from backups and the same problem. Just as it's about to finish restoring and it gets to "Synching Apps to Mels iPhone (5 of 5)" the phone turns off and reboots... and continues to do so every minute or so. I'm leaving the phone connected because it seems to still be putting my apps on the phone and I will see what happens when it completes but I'm certain it will be the same thing... no texts and no apps!! What is going on? Is this a glitch between the old os and the new regarding the backups not restoring correctly?? helpppp!!!

Most apps are showing up but the install is incomplete on all of them. And still no texts!

IPhone 5 keeps rebooting since iOS 7.1 upgrade

Since upgrading to iOS7.1 about 36-hours ago, my iPhone 5 keeps rebooting itself. I've also noticed that the screen wakes itself up (as if pressing the Home button) as often as every 10-mins.
Anyone else seeing the same/similiair thing?
Any news from Apple about a fix?

Here are the basic troubleshooting steps:
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
Restore from backup
Restore as new

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting iOS 5

I am at the stage that I am HATING having spent £300 on a phone that messes up every week!
My iPhone was running absolutely bang on on iOS 4.3.3 but like an idiot I decided to update it to 5.0 !
Now that it has been updated it has been running fine for like a week, however last night when I put it on charge it keeps restarting every 3 minutes for no absolute reason!
I switched my phone off and on again and still does the same thing!
I connected my iPhone to iTunes on DFU mode so that I could try to restore it, however no success!
So I went online and checked for new updates, found out that the iOS 5.0.1 was out which could be why Apple is playing with me?
I again connected my iPhone to iTunes and went for the update (my iPhone is still in DFU mode) it downloads most of the iOS 5.0.1 684.9 out of 685.0 MB and gives me an error saying network connection interrupted?! I tried it 4/5 times! Always does the same!
I do not know what to do anymore!
Please HELP!

Here is a solution I found searching the web. It worked for me so i hope it will help you guys out.
OK.........Finally I found the solution for sim problem with update 5.0.1 and the solution for fixing the iphone 3gs keeps rebooting or keeps restarting after 3-2 minutes?
for fixing the sim issues with update 5.0.1 or the rebooting problem do the following:
Take the     sim out
enable     the 3G and cellular date in network     setting
than     insert the sim back
the     netwok will register your sim via 3G not GSM
than after     3 minutes turn off 3G and cellular data
congratulation………your problem had been solved?...Im not an expert…but its seems this update 5.0.1…is not suitable for 3GS phones as they have ( special tapfro turning 3g on and off)this update is suitable for iphone 4?which enable automatically 3G.
The apple should have warn all 3GS phone about that ………not waiting some one not expert like me to solve it out?
Anyway……………have a nice day every one

Hello there, Fernandox26.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

IPhone 3GS keeps rebooting, brand new, never jailbroken

I bought an iPhone 3GS in 2010. Worked perfectly until iOS 5.1, then it started rebooting whenever the SIM-card was in, but worked fine as a iPod Touch whenever the SIM was removed. Also, it needed to be restored after each reboot because iTunes couldn't identify it. I took it to the Apple store (on 5th Ave, if that's any relevant information). The Genius told me it had nothing to do with the software. The phone was broken. He did not specify what exactly was broken, but he offered me a replacement for about 160 USD (that's including tax). I accepted and was happy for my new phone until the same problem occured after just four days of getting the new phone. I'd take it to the store again, but the problem is - I don't actually live in New York. Currently living in Denmark. Brought it to my service provider, and they told me the phone was broken. Called Apple but they couldn't help me, since it was out of warranty.
TLDR
Had an iPhone 3GS, kept rebooting and had to be restored when SIM-card active. Got it replaced to the exact same model (iPhone 3GS 32 GB), same exact problem. Neither Apple or service provider will help me.
Neither phones had ever been jailbroken or used by anyone else.

Your only option is to bring the phone back to the US for exchange. Warranty is NOT worldwide.
There really is nothing else we users can do for you.

My new iphone 4 keeps saying it needs to be restored, but won't restore.

My new today iphone 4 keeps saying that I need to restore it, but everytime I do it says at the end of the restore an error occured and the restore failed, and I can't use the phone until it's been restored....any help?!

Try disabling your antivirus and firewall software. It can interfere with the restore/update process.

My iPhone 6+ keeps rebooting after installing iOS 8.3

I have a 128Gb iPhone 6+. When I downloaded and installed iOS 8.3 via WIFI, it went through the usual download sequence and then started continually rebooting. After about 20 or so reboots, I got a white screen with a carrier signal on the top left, a location icon and a grayed-out bluetooth icon and the battery level indicator on the top right, and a curious "information" icon (a letter "i" in a circle) at the bottom right of the screen.
I tried tapping on the "i" but got no response. Then the iPhone went into the reboot cycle again. After several reboot cycles, I got the same white screen again. Then the iPhone again started rebooting and hasn't stopped.
My iPhone 6+ has been problematic since I installed iOS 8.1.2. Several random reboots (about 4 cycles, before the iPhone returned to "normal") and some other issues that I didn't document.
I brought the iPhone to the nearest authorized Apple repair center. They said that they could not find any problem and neither could they duplicate the issue I experienced. They recommended that the next time reboots happened that I should make a video of the error. Also, they recommended that I keep all of the apps updated (which I conscientiously do). So I decided to make a log of all the errors since the iPhone was returned to me.
Here are the entries to my log:
iPhone 6+ Errors since March 30, 2015

Iphone 4 keeps rebooting... but only when plugged in

My iphone keeps rebooting itself... but only when I have it plugged in to the wall. When its not plugged in, it seems to work fine.
We have two iphones in our house... and I have tried the other wall charger... same result.
I went through the recovery mode restore... and its still doing it.
Any suggestions?

If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, when your iPhone is connected to your Mac, is it connected direct to a USB port on your computer - not connected to a USB hub?
Since the buzzing/beeps continue when your iPhone is connected to the AC adaptor, do you have another USB dock connector cable to try to rule out a problem with your iPhone's USB cable?

IPhone 4 keeps rebooting after multiple restores

When it first started, it was jailbroken and I had turned off all data while in Canada. When I crossed back into the US I made a call and it started rebooting every minute or so until the battery got too low. I have restored it multiple times without jailbraking but it just keeps rebooting.
First it would not charge past 3% then it charged for a bit but now it is back stuck at 3%. I am thinking but I am not sure if it is a battery issue. Anyway to verify this? Also should it charge when off, or in one of the restore modes?

I even have the same problem. After searching the web for long what i now know is that Apple knows this problem. I have even read in some posts that apple replaced the iphones for couple of people. There are even videos on you tube about the same issue we are suffering with. But the bad part is that despite apple knowing this issue they are not addressing or even replying to individuals like me and you for the way forward. I this case you are lucky that you stay in USA and could be having Apple store just next to you but i am in a real mess here in Kenya. As i will have to travel 400km to have the phone repaired or replace the phone.

IPhone 3G keeps rebooting??

I plugged my iPhone 3G into my computer and it crashed on me. So I rebooted it and now it just keeps rebooting over and over. Is there a way to fix this without loosing all my contacts, info and pics?? Or a way to retrieve all my info before i do a hard reboot and erases everything??

Welcome to the discussions,
if the reset mentioned by w7ox does not work, try to connect in recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808) and restore "as new iphone". Restoring from your backup my copy the corrupt files again on your phone. Restoring "as new" may also cure your battery problem.

Iphone 3g keeps rebooting itself - Help!

Since yesterday my iphone 3g has been going very slow. Today it decided just to give up on me completely. Wouldn't let me into any of my apps etc. So connected to my laptop, but gave me two error messages the first one being a number saying it was an error. The second one said that the iphone wouldn't let it connect.
It has now decided to just keep rebooting itself, taking about 5 minutes to load up & then flicks to home screen then reboots again. Tried holding in the off button & home at same time to over write the restart. Nothing.
Any suggestions would be grateful? Phone is just 2 years old!
Thanks x

Restore it from you backup. Use Recover or DFU mode if iTunes won't recognize it.

Iphone 3gs keeps rebooting often when charging on Kensington Dock n Belkin

I recently bought a Kensington Dock and a Belkin FM transmitter *** car charger for my Iphone 3gs (OS 4). When charging on the dock the phone keeps rebooting often. It doesnt happen if I'm just charging the phone using the regular charger OR when USB connected to the computer. Can someone advise why this happens when charging the Iphone using a Kensington dock OR belkin FM transmiter *** car charger. Both accessories are suppposed to be compatible with Iphone 3gs.

Hate to say, but if your phone has been rebooted, restored or recovered. It sounds like a hardware issue. Send it to the refuribish line with the rest of them. Now i know you said you restored it. but there are a couple other ways of doing it that might help.
1. Reboot methods. The first thing to do is try to reboot the iPhone, which you can do by holding the top button and the home button for about ten seconds. In some cases, the iPhone is actually still on, but a bug stops the screen from displaying anything, so you can reverse the problem by doing the reboot. If you still see nothing on the screen, try to plug the iPhone in and again try the reboot methods to see if you can get the screen to display.
2. Restoring the iPhone. If the iPhone shows up in iTunes, but it still doesn't seem to turn on, it's definitely a display problem. When rebooting fails, you can restore the iPhone from iTunes, and this should fix whatever bugs caused the original issue. Realize that you'll have to reload your music if you restore to another software version. To restore, plug the iPhone in, go into iTunes and click the iPhone's icon on the side of the select screen. Click on the restore button and agree to the prompt asking if you really want to restore the iPhone's software.
3. Recovery mode. You can put the iPhone into recovery mode if it has a charged battery by holding down the home button before connecting it to iTunes, then continuing to hold the button until iTunes recognizes that the iPhone's in recovery mode. Recovery mode is a bare-bones way of booting the iPhone that allows you to perform a restore when you're dealing with a serious issue such as the iPhone failing to turn on or display anything on its screen.
try one of these if you havent already. if still nothing, its time to take it in or get a new phone.
