Iphone 4s frozen with low light on

My iPhone 4S just went black - but the low light is on on the back of the phone.. Tried restarting and also resetting without any success. Battery had 80% charge. Any help is appreciated.

@Zerole
Try putting your handset in DFU mode.
Plug your iPhone to your computer (don't worry if iTunes doesn't pick it up)
Power OFF the device
Press BOTH the Power and Home key at the same time for at least 10 secs
Release ONLY the Power button (keep the Home key pressed)
iTunes will have picked up your handset in Recovery Mode
*Screen MUST still be black and not showing the iTunes USB logo* If so, repeat above.
Now click Restore
You should see iTunes download (if not already) the lastest iOS firmware, you'll see the progress bar on the iPhone finally as it updates.
See how that goes.
It can take several goes to get the handset into DFU mode, the key is the iPhone screen is still OFF!

    Unknown "source"?  Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

    Follow the instructions in the article.  When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

    Hi there beee19,

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • Trouble with low light action shots on 70d

    I just went from a T3i to a 70D. I seem to have trouble with action shots in low light situations, any suggestions on setting...
    Solved!

    "I just went from a T3i to a 70D"
    ... and didn't upgrade your lens inventory?  Although the 70D will be better in most cases compared to a Rebel T3i, it is the lens.  It is always the lens.

  • HT1430 My Iphone is frozen with a screen message restore failed -can't turn it off nothing no response?

    My Iphone 5 is frozen with a screen message restore failed ...I can't even turn it off ?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

    iPhone 5 was fine until I restarted the device... now the screen flickers on and off (with the white Apple logo
    and frozen progress bar overlayed on the screen).
    When I try to restore, I get a "-1" error.
    Well I just looked over at the screen, and everything is now fine. No flickering, no logo... the screen looks normal.

  • My iphone is frozen with the instructions of plugging to Itunes but nothing happens.

    When I plugged my Iphone 3G to my computer to update it, it decided to freeze the screen on the Itunes logo indicating to plug the lead to Itunes.  It is frozen on that.  When i try to open Itunes I get a message that it is recovering an Iphone and nothing else happens.  I cannot do anything to unfreeze it.  Has anybody got any bright idea what to do??

    Sounds like you have to put it in recovery mode and restore it.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • IPhone screen frozen with the "restore" logo on it

    I can not get my computer to reconize the iPhone anymore.
    My phone is stuck on the "restore" screen and iTunes won't reconize it. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, rebooting the computer, holding down the power and home keys for 10 seconds .. nothing.
    Is there any way to "cancel" a restore on the iphone?

    Hello, Mayhem300. I am sorry to see the inconvenience you are experiencing today.
    What image are you seeing exactly?
    An Apple Logo?
    A USB cord with an iTunes Logo?
    A connect to iTunes message?
    If iTunes is not seeing your iPhone to complete the restore try a couple of the steps below. Sadly there is no way to stop the restore process as it seems like it already initiated and needs to finish.
    1. While iPhone is connected to the PC/Mac.... Hold down the Home Button, and Sleep/Wake Button.
    Do not let go to you either see a Yellow Yield Sign, or a USB Icon saying connect to iTunes. After this iTunes should see it. And inform you it detected an iPhone needing a restore.
    Proceed with this. At this time all Data on iPhone will be lost. If your restoring on the original PC/Mac you will have an option to restore from backup file. and or Re-sync your content from your PC/Mac back to the iPhone.
    If this fails. Repeat the steps with a different USB Port, or a New user, or even another PC/Mac
    If you feel you need better assistance. Please call 1-800-My-iPhone or make an appointment at your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/

  • My iPhone is frozen with USB + iTunes image. What can I do?

    I tried to update my iPhone but it got stuck in the middle of it with the image of USB and iTunes. Now I can´t get out of that and my computer doesn´t recognize my phone any more.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    I have tried shutting the phone down with "sleep" and "home". Same image appears anyway.
    I have uninstalled iTunes and other apple software and installed them all again. But it still doesnt recognize that there is a phone connected. Though I can hear the sound when I connect it to the USB.
    All this happened after the update that didn´t finish (or that did get stuck).
    Now I can´t use my phone and wonder if anyone have tips of what I can do.
    Thanks in advance

    Turn off your phone. Make sure it's disconnected to your computer. NOW, plug your phone back to your computer while pressing the home button. Keep pressing until iTunes prompts you this "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode....". Then choose restore.
