Iphone 4s reboot/apple logo problem - restore not working

My iphone 4s is stuck in the reboot cycle. The apple logo appears for 3/4 seconds, dissapears and the returns. it does this constantly.
I have already put the phone into recovery mode and tried to restore twice. about 15 mins from the end of the restore process the flashing apple logo reappears and that is the end of that.
Can anyone help? i dont mind losing data just would like the phone to work again.
Thanks
Chris

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
If this procedure does not work, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there.

  • IPhone 4 and Apple Component Cables do not work

    I have an iPhone 4 and my Apple Component Cables no longer work.
    I have had an iPhone 3G since July 2008, and a first gen iPod Touch. They both have and continue to work with the cables.
    I have the Component cables hooked up to an Apple universal dock... it's been a great way to watch movies and TV shows on my bedroom TV, as the remote control works through the dock. I've become so accustomed to using it, I no longer even use a DVD player (all my media is digital). That's the main reason I upgraded to a 32Gb ip4. I have tried plugging the cables directly into my phone, rather than going through the dock, to no avail.
    I am now on my second replacement iPhone 4, and the Genius at the Apple Store had the same issue with his demo unit. Oddly, the ip4 appears to work fine with the lower quality composite cables, but not at all with the HD compatible component cables. My question is, have any of you experienced the same problem? How is this not a bigger issue? (I can't find any threads about this issue), Am I the only person who uses his iPhone this way?
    I have been in contact with Applecare. A nice rep has been trying to help me, but as of yet, has not been able to offer an answer. On the Apple Store, you can clearly see iPhone 4 listed as a compatible device for the cables.

    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

    I know this is of absolutely no use to you at all but...
    Same here!
    Paid nearly 40 quid (GBP) for the component video cable from apple, same for the universal dock!
    Nothing, nada, nought... through my theatre system or direct into the TV.
    Shame really, iPhone 4 latest patches, really BIG TV (latest, greatest everything input's) fairly simple theatre system (again, everything inputs) but no joy at all getting a picture (video) out of the component cable.
    Bah...
    I read somewhere there could be a fault in the iPhone 4 OS, but I'd have thought that they would have fixed this by now!
    NOTHING WORKS!!!
    This is not a good 40 quid value !!!
    Is there a solution?

  • HT201263 I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. I tried to charge and not charging. What I should do now?

    I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
    What I should do now?

    Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • I have an iphone 3gs in which sleep/wake button not working. i have got stuckn  in an apple logo in my phone screen. is there any software or any solution to turn on or restore my phone??

    i have an iphone 3gs in which sleep/wake button not working. i have got stuckn  in an apple logo in my phone screen. is there any software or any solution to turn on or restore my phone?? Please help...and thaks in advance

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    Add me to the list of people furious with Apple about this problem...
    ...I have just got back from a 2 week holiday in Spain, and on day 3 of the holiday my iPhone rebooted itself and stuck at the Apple logo.
    What's more annoying, I'd purchased a data abroad plan from o2 for £50 and hardly used it because I couldn't use my iPhone because it was stuck on the **** Apple logo. o2 will not refund the plan I purchased because I had started to use it (about 2.3MB to be precise).
    Good job my girlfriend had her trusty Sony Ericsson phone because at least it WORKS as a phone, unlike this **** iPhone 3G which only has one use - as an expensive paperweight.
    Come on Apple, at least admit there is a problem and show your loyal customers that you are actually aware there is a serious problem that is causing your iPhones to become utterly useless.
    I'm seriously thinking of gettting rid of this iPhone and getting a cheap no frills phone - at least I can use it to make calls.

  • Iphone stuck at apple logo after every reboot?

    I came to know d solution of first holding home and sleep button then press + button but why is it happening after every reboot i am doing?help

    Hi kstbespoo,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone won't get past the Apple Logo even after a reset.
    If so, you may need to restore the iPhone with iTunes.  Note you should have a good backup.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    5.  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 about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    6.  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Best Regards,

    You may have to let the battery fully drain
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone stuck on apple logo and loading bar.

    Hey guys,
    My itunes seemed to crash while i was restoring my phone and now its stuck with an apple logo and an empty loading bar, also my sleep/wake/lock button doesnt work so i cant enter recovery mode, please someone help or point me in the right direction!
    Anthony

    I will help you to solve your problem, don't worry just follow as I say.
    1. Firstly it is not a big problem just do as I say.
    2. Connect your device to the PC and then launch the iTunes software.
    3. And then go for the option of 'Restore' in that iTunes.
    But if your device doesn't respond to it.
    4. Then try to update the iTunes software to latest version.
    And using windows OS means you need to uninstall the whole previous version of software and need to download and install the latest version of it.
    5. And if you are having the third party apps such as Antivirus and etc are installed then it will object your phone to respond to iTunes. So you need to update your iOS software at any cost, which is the only way to fix iPhone stuck on Apple logo.
    All the best
