Iphone 4s will not recover after going on holiday

So i have just come back off holiday,
After going on holiday with my new Iphone 4s (less then 5 weeks old) it worked perfectly the entire holiday, i got to the airport on the way home and switched the phone off in the airport....
After switching the phone back on when i got home i got the error 1611
I then tried to restore the Iphone but got more errors...
Firstly i got 1611 error, followed by the 021,2009,3014,1611 and many more errors.
The phone was in perfect working order until i switched it off, there were no issues i had before i switched this phone off in Italy...
Trying to restore the phone i cannot get passed the restore, every time i restore the phone i keep getting different error messages which freezes, restarts and then gives one of the messages above, the phone itself was not knocked or anything while it was in my bag (sat on my knee on the way home on the plane), there is no physical issues with the phone, its brand new, no scratches, never dropped or anything like that....
There is no reason for this phone to have issues, it has worked perfectly...
I went to the Vodaphone store and they will not even look at it because it is 2 weeks out of warrenty, even though this phone is acutally 5 weeks old.
I have tried so many ways of getting this phone back up and running, I have tried restoring the phone to previous versions... only got more errors...
I am now at a dead end... please does anyone know of a way of restoring an phone 4s without being switched on or another way without being in restore / DFU mode.
Please Please Please can someone help

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?, My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?

My Iphone 4 will not charge after ipdate to IOS 7.0.4, Does anyone have a solution ? I have tried apple cables and chargers. I see many have the same issue. Anyone made progress ?

No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS Just have a quick Google!
Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

IPhone 3G will not sync after recent update to software

I began a sync for my phone and new software was available and I allowed the update. Now my iPhone 3GS will not sync. continues to give an Unknown Error -39. What do I do?

Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

Iphone 4 will not sync after restore

Iphone 4 will not sync via itunes via USB cable after restore. Rebooted PC and iphone. Latest version of itunes and iOS. Device appears on left hand window, but the main window only shows the Apple logo, and empty white box, and a small LOCK symbol. Other iphone and ipad still sync properly, but restored iphone will not. Please help.

I had the EXACT same thing and I have appeared to fix it thanks to Amand99:
1) Make Sure you are running latest Itunes.
2) Plug usb cord into computer with itunes on. DO NOT PLUG INTO PHONE.
3) Do a hard shut down of your phone, where you hold the home and lock button and don't let go until the phone completely dies.
4) Hold down home button for three seconds. DO NOT LET GO. While continuing to hold, plug chord into phone, connecting it to computer. DO NOT LET GO. Hold for an additional five seconds.
5) A window should appear in itunes saying that a phone is connected which needs a system restore.
6) Itunes should allow you to restore and update.
7) Now this was key for me because this might have been my mistake which originally caused this issue. After the restore, Itunes shows the iPhone grey with a spinning wheel (like bofore). I looked at the iPhone and it looked like it wanted me to go through the setup options. DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE. Be Patient, iTunes will eventually recognize the phone and finally ask if you want to restore it. Choose "restore from backup", and let iTunes do it's stuff.
My iPhone is back, Baby! <phew>

My iphone 4 will not sync after upgrading to ios7

After upgrading my iphone 4 to ios7, I cannot sync with itunes. It either goes through 4 steps and then "canceling sync" or it hangs up on "waiting for files to transfer" and never gets past that. I tried some suggestions in other support articles. I synced with itunes in safe mode. I reset the phone and did a restore. Nothing seems to help. I upgraded to 7.0.2 but no changes. Please Help!

No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.

IPhone 4S Will not sync after step 2 on iTunes.

Hey guys. I just purchased a new iPhone 4S, unlocked for T-Mobile and jailbroken. Everything is working fine until I tried to sync ringtones, apps, and photos on it. It will not get pass step 2. Once it hits step 3, which is "Determining apps to sync", it stops syncing entirely. I have no idea what's going on. My iPhone is backed up with my computer, not iCloud. I can sync music but not apps, ringtones, photos. I have re-installed iTunes and did a hard-reset on my iPhone. Still no luck. Any help please?

Iphone 5 will not charge after water damage. Tried various solutions.

Hi all,
A few weeks ago i put my iphone 5 in the washing machine for about 30 seconds. I got it out ASAP but it was still noticably wet. I quickly padded it down and put it in a bag of rice for several days (luckily it was already out of battery when it went in).
After i had left it to dry out i plugged it in only to find the lightining cabel symbol comes up and it will not charge. So what i have done so far;
Changed battery- new battery still will not charge. However, when i did put a new battery in that held some charge the phone did turn on and everything was working fine.
Tried new lightning cable
Changed dock connector- still would not charge
Removed battery and cleaned entire phone with 99% isopropyl, dried and phone still would not charge.
I'm pretty lost here??? If everything was working fine when i put the new battery in apart from being able to charge i asssumed it must be the dock connector but apparently not.
I have heard it might be something to do with the USB/Power IC on the motherboard?? But im not sure if these can be replaced. I would just like to try everything myself before taking to apple as i know they will charge me a small fortune for out of warrenty repair.

So your telling me as soon as i open the phone the out of warrenty service is void as well (even if i were to put the old battery back in)?
Yes.
Is their an indicator to show the phone has been opened?
Yes. There are tamper indicators inside the phone.
People should have the right to change their battery or open their phone if they want instead of being forced to make a genius bar appointment for any type of service (apple stores are few and far between where i live).
You do have that right. But if you choose to exercise it, you forfeit your right to an out of warranty replacement.
Note: I took it to a repair shop re dock connector change. They changed it and it wouldnt work so they replaced old one and said apple wouldnt have a problem fixing it on the out of warrenty repair service.
They lied to you.
If the service is void i certainly will not be buying another iphone. I guess this is how apple make their money.
Go ahead. Try the same thing with another vendor... let us know how that works for you.

IPhone 5s will not activate after erasing data

I Reset my iPhone 5s and now it will not reactivate
error message reads activation server is temporarily unavailable
been been this way for several hours

That error message means either that your phone was previously jailbroken, or, if you are using your computer it was previously used to jailbreak or hack some iOS device, or your antivirus or router is blocking access to Apple's activation servers.

Iphone 5 will not activate after iOS7 update.

Ive tried over the air and through iTunes, no luck either way. Says the servers cannot be contacted.
Is there a number I can call to activate this another way?

Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. Calling AppleCare will not really help as the servers are what allow that to happen. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

Here's what you do
1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
     a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
     b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
     c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
You're welcome
