IPhone 4S in an endless reboot
iPhone 4S on iOS 7, not jail broken, powered down last night because the battery died. Plug it in to start charging and now it's stuck at the apple logo, and the apple logo will appear for like 4 seconds, go away, and come back.
Try restoring your phone - they just released 7.1 about an hour ago so you can kill 2 birds at once.

The story is, put them ios 6 .., test the week, then decided to 5.1.1 - put and here begins the endless reboot loop ...
You're not making much sense. If you installed the iOS 6 beta, you will hve to take your question to the discussion group provided for registered developers to discuss it.
Beta software can not be discussed in the public forums.
If you are not a registered developer, you are out of luck (not to mention, a thief). -
Just downloaded iOS6. My iPhone is in an endless loop switching from Apple logo to sign in screen. What do I do?
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

my iphone has gone into an endless reboot after an OTA update. pls help me fix this. :((
Just in case anyone at apple is paying attention. This has happened to me four times now. Iphone 3G 16GB. The phone rebooted while installing and app (once while syncing an app from iTunes and three times while doing AppStore installs OTA). This leaves the phone completely useless until you do a full recovery on the phone. It is very irritating to be stuck without your phone for a whole day until you can get back to your computer.

Need help plz my iphone is stuck in a reboot loop
my iphone is stuck in a reboot loop i cant get it to stop itunes dose not detect
my iphone so i can restore it i don't know what to do plz helpI am experiencing the same problem, and i have attempted NO jailbreak or other iphone hacked software. My screen will slowly fade to white, and then go into an endless reboot cycle, or just glow bright white til the battery dies. I have tried restoring with itunes via recovery, and i receive error (2003).
(EDIT)
I successfully restored my iphone, and it worked GREAT! until i removed it from the cradle, and my screen jumped straight to apple logo, descending into the bottomless pit of reboot cycles.

I'm stuck in an endless reboot, meaning it powers on to the apple logo , sits there for a few minutes and then powers off and restarts the same cycle. This only started out as occasional reboots, then the next day it was rebooting a lot, then the third day I tried fixing it with hard restarts and using itunes to restore it. It didn't help any. So this time I tried to reset all my setting on phone, it loaded and turned on- then started the constant reboot process again.
I tried hooking it up to itunes in DHU but itunes tells me the the "Software update server could not me contacted" and didn't give me anyways on how to fix that.
I really need my phone for work and other jobs and having a brick of a phone isn't going to help.
My phone just stopped showing the symbol to connect to itunes and began the reboot session over again.
What can I do?To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, without using the latest backup. Set up your settings manually and see if the phone works after that.
If yes, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup contained damaged data causing these issues.

or without iTunes and your computer:

If the phone does not work after setting it back to factory settings, your problem might be hardware related and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Support:

Endless rebooting, lock button no longer works, restart comes up unwanted
Hello all! I tried to search online but I was not able to find an answer. My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 (recently updated but had similar problems with 3.0) is practically in unusable condition. It will no longer let me lock the phone, at times, it wants to restart on it's on non-stop and it will go to an endless rebooting cycle on its own. The only time I can stop the endless rebooting cycle is when I plug the iPhone to my computer or stereo integrated car jack. It appears that my phone works ok when it's plugged in but obviously this is an inconvenience. Is this a software issue or has something shorted on the inside? It seems to be getting worse and worse. I hope we can help each other by starting this discussion. Thank you all in advance!
Welcome to the discussions,
first thing to try would be a reset, hold the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up.
If this does not solve your problem, restore "as new iphone" and don't use your backup to get your settings back, your backup may contain corrupt files causing this behavior.

Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in endless reboot loop
This is a detailed bug report so please bear with me.
If you can help, or can confirm you've had the same happen to you, I'll be grateful.
I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I even used to work for Toshiba so rest assured I like the machine. But I've got a problem with its recovery software. I just bought a laptop, Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I will occasionally have to field panic calls along the lines of "it's become too slow", "how do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe it's got a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was the automatic recovery, i.e. how to bring the HD back to "as new" state.
So I booted into the machine, answered the questions until I got into the OS proper, and then ran the "make a recovery DVD" program. Double layer DVD verified ok. With the freshly made DVD, I swapped the supplied HD for a spare I had (much smaller: only 40 GB instead of 320) and booted the rescue DVD hoping that it would remake me a clean system on the blank drive.
It did repartition the drive according to its scheme, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for Data including the recovery files. It did install the system in the Windows partition. It then rebooted into the installed Windows 7 to finalize the installation. There, trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until I stopped it.
Loop:
* reboot
* black screen with bright 4-colour windows logo "starting windows"
* black screen with light blade and "setup is preparing your computer for first use"
* blue "welcome" white screen with "please wait" and horizontal bar with green blob, saying "Finishing the installation may take several minutes. Please dont interrupt or shutdown the computer!"
* blue screen saying it's shutting down
Repeat the above forever.
I have seen it reboot way over 10 times over the course of several hours. And every time it pretends it's the first time it does that. Surely that's not normal!
I tried stopping it with ctrl-alt-del and task manager but the white screen would go on top of even the task manager, making it hard to kill any processes or even inspect what they were. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it switched off. Then when it rebooted it said if I wanted safe mode. I tried that. It went into the routine above and at some point it said it couldn't proceed with the installation if it was in safe mode. So it rebooted into regular mode and then... finished! It finally broke out of the endless loop!
Then it asked me all the usual questions about language, registration etc, as it had done the first time I had turned it on. This seemed good. I finally got back into a newly installed OS and all seemed fine, except I later discovered that some programs that were there before were not installed.
With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even re-did the procedure on the supplied hard disk instead of my spare one: first I nuked the windows partition, then I did rescue from the HD (with F8), not with the DVD I had made. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboots.
After I stopped it, it sort-of-worked, as above, but now some other programs were missing, notably the Toshiba DVD player.
(*) motivated by: better try this now, with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, than when the computer is away at its owner's home and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a phone line. Been there before.
Now, that specific one (DVD player) I could download from the support page and it installed fine; but what else might be missing or not working that I didn't notice? Clearly the restore process isn't working as it should.
Am I the first or only one to whom this happens? Am I doing anything wrong? Is there anything else I should try?
I need to make sure this restore procedure works flawlessly while I still have the computer in my hands. If it doesn't, there's no chance I'm going to be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie once I am asked to clean up the laptop over the phone a few months from now.
Thanks in advance
[Update: while looking for the right place where I could post this I found that other people are reporting the same problem. It's definitely a bug in the distributed recovery software for W7-64, not an isolated problem of my machine. See for example
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&tstart=0 where user kwarc is describing the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.I am glad to report some unexpected SUCCESS!
I left the computer at what it was doing when I wrote the previous
post. I came back to it an hour later or so (I had stopped counting
the reboots, though occasionally I'd hear that typical chime from the
other room, saying it was doing one more cycle) and I noticed
something slightly different: the white screen with "finishing the
installation may take several minutes" had a blue blob, not a green
blob, in the progress bar, and the blob was rectangular rather than
rounded. Very odd! Something different had happened, like a change of
theme. And a little while after that, the process really finished and
I got to the white screen that asks about what language etc etc, like
when I first turned on the new computer.
Great!
All I can conclude from this experience:
Even a reinstall that works will DEFINITELY involve many reboots that
seem to be getting nowhere. Apparently, progress is being made, even
though it looks like the process is stuck in a loop of reboots.
It would just be nice if it said something like "Before I finish
restoring, I'm going to have to reboot 26 times, please hang on; now
doing cycle 8 of 26". (Numbers are made up.) It doesn't, but just
knowing about it is helpful.
Perhaps worth redoing the install once more and making a note of how
long it really takes from beginning to end when it does work.
I still don't know if the process I described in the first post was
really stuck because of some other error or whether it would have
ended eventually. If I wanted to be really sure I could re-restore
everything on that hard disk once more.
I have no idea whether wiping all partitions from the disk before
reinstalling did any good or not: it shouldn't have made a difference
since, as I said, I noticed that the first thing the restore program
did was redo all the partitions itself. On the other hand we have
experimental proof that the restore can work on a HD without any
partitions.
Thanks again PauPau---the most useful thing you said, for me, was the
data point that for you it had worked. That's what made me try again
and leave the computer on indefinitely through the innumerable
reboots, just in case.
I'll repost a definitive answer on how long a successful restore
process should take once I get round to redoing it on the supplied 320
GB HD. -

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it. -

IPad stuck with endless reboots
It gets stuck on the apple logo and then shuts off. It does this over and over.
I have got it into recovery and dfu mode and restored it.
But after it completes it, it goes back to the endless reboots.Sorry your iPad is acting up, (I had issues with my iPad air) I couldn't get it to work the way it should so I took it in to an Apple store and they completely took care of it, (it was still under warranty.) So since you have an iPad Air 2 the best suggestion is what kromern posted, but be sure to back up your iPad on your PC or in iCloud if you have enough space then try to restore it using iTunes on your PC. (if you haven't already,)
Go here for info on doing that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
and if that doesn't work try and locate an Apple store near you... call first and check what the store can do for you, and what, if any charges they may require.
Good luck, I hope you are able to get some assistance and have your iPad working as it should.
