Iphone 4S stuck in bootloop, it's not jailbroken

Hello Everybody,
as you can see in the title i have a problem with my iphone 4s.
Friday night i was just loading my battary as usual, when i woke up at 5 am everything worked just fine. Since i was tired i went back to sleep and woke up a few hours later. The first thing i saw (in shock!) was the apple logo on my iphone.
I switched it off and on again, no boot...
i tried to restore it via DFU mode, nothing...
then i tried to let the battery run out of power, to reload it again. still no signs of ios to boot...
I didn't jailbreak my phone and never had any problems.
The device is out of warranty, any options what i can do?
ps: i'm very sorry for my bad english...

nothing.
it seemed like everything was alright. itunes restored the iphone.
there was no error message, just itunes telling me that the iphone is rebooting now...

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Hi,
    My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers

  • Iphone4s stuck on apple logo. NOT JAILBROKEN. Fix WITHOUT restoring?

    My Iphone4s is stuck on apple logo, won't go past it. My phone is NOT JAILBROKEN. How can I fix WITHOUT restoring? Is it possible? Even if just to get my stuff off there. I have important data that is not backed up/not synced. Phone was working fine, I have done nothing to alter phone at all. I turned it off because I couldn't get cell signal and then when I turned it back on: stuck on apple logo. I don't know what IOS version. I appreciate the help! Thank you!!

    As already provided:
    You can try resetting the phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    If that doesn't work, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it.

  • Iphone 4 stuck on a black screen not recognized by computer

    So bassically my other Iphone 4 is now stuck in a powered on state between the bootloader (apple logo) and the powered off state. my computers(win xp through win 8.1) all say unrecognized USB device and i checked its not the cable using another iphone.... the iphone is completely unresponsive (nothing happens when it is plugged in the wall or computer, holding home and power does nothing, itunes won't recognize it, vibrations don't work either and if i try calling my iphone after around 3-5 seconds the other iphone i use to call my iphone just says call ended...) please try and help me! this happened after letting it charge from around 9% battery for around 3 hours and when i unplugged it, it was kind of hot to the touch, but that has been happening for a while now due to one of the pins on the charging port being pushed back onto the metal part and causing current to flow through the metal housing of the phone(the antenna i think?) but i never cared about it since i dont really need the antenna so much....
    P.S. if i can get it to get into DFU mode it would be great since i made a program a while back for IOS 4.2.1 and IOS 5 to access the filesystem in DFU mode.... i really need my data but even recovery mode would be fine if i can get the phone working again! PLEASE HELP ME!

    Your iPhone is in recovery mode and any data that was not backed up is already gone. You have no choice but to restore the phone and restore from your last backup.

  • HT201263 iPhone 4 stuck in reboot and will not restore from iTunes

    My iPhone 4 started having a severe battery drain. Today when it went dead, I charged it and received a message to plug it into iTunes to restore. I'm not stuck in a reboot loop and keep getting errors in iTunes such as 1602 and 2001 when I try to restore it. Any suggestions?

    Connect the device and update it.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

    As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode.  Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times.  Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo.  I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either.  Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

    Update:  I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account.  None of these did anything for me.  I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.

  • IPhone 4s stuck in bootloop after "restore all settings"

    Recently, I tried to use the "Restore All Setings" on my iPhone 4S (non-jailbroken), and after it finished, it got stuck in a reboot loop and has been stuck like that for three days. I was wondering how to fix it (If possible without an iTunes Restore) and why this might have happened.

    Hi, TheWasteLandd.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    If your device is in restart loop, I would recommend restoring the device via iTunes.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode loop (non-jailbroken)

    This is frustrating me to no end!! I tried to update my iphone 4 to IOS6 via itunes, didn't work because my mac needed at least itunes 6.3.1 but it said everything was up to date. So i tried using a newer mac with an updated itunes, failed after about an hour, & got stuck in the recovery mode loop. Everytime i try to connect to itunes & restore my phone to update, a message pops up saying "could not be restored. this device isn't eligible for the requested build". I've been watching youtube videos for about this for an hour now, nothing. I'm about to go insane, so if anyone has any idea of how i can get out of the loop, that'd be great!!

    Apple doesn't fix phones they replace them.
    The iPhone warranty is NOT international.  You need to return the phone to the country in which it originated (the EU is considered ONE country for warranty purposes)

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

    Hi, I have an Iphone 3g that is "Not" jailbroken, nor do I want it to be jailbroken. However, I had been having problems with it shuting down and not starting again. So, I tried to update and restore only to get an "error" 1015.
    It is now stuck on "connect to itunes"
    Any help would be great as this is a factory unlocked phone

    Apple in no way blocks devices.
    Carriers can blacklist devices from their network.  If that is what has occurred, only the carrier can remove the blacklist.  This should have nothing to do with your ability to activate the device and use it as an iPod.
