Iphone in emergency mode after trying to download 3.0 HELP!

I can't seem to finish the download of 3.0. Any tips? My phone is only in emergency mode and didn't take to the download.

I have the same problem. I have a 3G Iphone 3.0, I wanted to update to the 3.1 new version. I had problems with some apps. that's why i've decided to restore to the original factory version. the restore process failed and my Iphone is stuck on emergency mode. I don't know why. I had the 8.2 Itunes, i couldn't upgrade to the 9 new version therefore i had to eliminate completely the Itune and install it again. BIG Mistake. I have lost all information of my iphone there as well. Now i have lost everything and my Iphone still doesn't work. I have tried everything that I have found on forums. I won't risk eighter with jailthing. The same message appear on ITunes over and over again: "ITunes could not connect the Iphone because of unknown error." I am Tired after 6 hours. I give up. I think i'll go to the apple store and see if they give me a new phone.
This is the second time. The first time It was a miracle. It fixed itself. Today I haven't been so lucky. But I've learned that apple has a huge weakness with Iphones and Itunes, lock and unlock war.
I have to say I am really disappointed. Steve jobs is not doing his job. Bloody block & unblock war that doesn't have any sense. The only people who is suffering are people like us that just want to enjoy and use the bloody phone we've payed for. This market is not regulated. It 's the bloody wild wild west. Why people are so greedy...it's never enough.
Next day...
I went to the apple store, they fixed in 3 minutes. My iphone is now activated. They said that probably is the low connectivity on the internet that could lock the iphone as the software couldn't download properly.
Unfortunately all my data is now lost. However I have downloaded the Stellar pheonix recovery data tool to get all the information tat I have deleted from the Itunes. for thois I will need an external disk drive to save all the recovered information. It cost me US$99.00. Lets hope i can get all my data back, contact, photos, music, etc...

  • IPhone won't open after trying to download software update

    I was trying to download the latest OS update for my iphone 4S.  Now I can't access my phone because the screen just shows the iTunes symbol and a pictogram of my charging cord. Apple wants $19 from me for what I consider to be their problem, not mine.  Any ideas?

    What backup?
    Oops ...
    Tech savvy or not, and regardless of how much you have in your head, you need to understand the concept of backups.  Not understanding backups is much like not understanding insurance, then getting very sick and wondering why you have to spend thousands of dollars for medical bills that most have insurance to help with.
    All electronic devices fail at some point.  When they do, you should expect to lose everything you had stored.  The only way you should expect to recover any of it is from a backup.  If you don't have a backup of, say, your computer's hard drive, once it crashes (and it will), you can expect to lose all your photos, financial data, contacts, and whatever precious personal data you have stored.  Do you really want to take that risk?
    So either you backed up your iPhone by syncing with iTunes or iCloud in the past and can recover what you backed up then, or you did not back up and will lose everything.

  • HT201263 iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to download ios6

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it, it seems to download the new software (ios6) but nothing is restored. I still get that recovery screen. How can I get out of the recovery mode?

    Hey Justinjoly,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

  • ITouch frozen after trying to download updates..help!

    I downloaded the updates to my iTunes yesterday and then tried to sync my iPod. my iPod completely froze. I figured the battery would run out and it would fix what evers wrong with it, but it's be 18 hours and it's still forzen on the same screen. I've also tried a hard reset and it does nothing. This iPod is only 3 months old. I have a picture of the screen, but don't think I can load it here.

    There is no "iTunes 12" and you don't download iTunes to your iPad anyway. Can you please explain your situation in more detail?
    As a quick suggestion, have you tried resetting your iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons until you see the Apple icon?

  • Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

    iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
    Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
    At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
    Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

    omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
    plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
    now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

  • Can't use my iPhone 3GS after trying to download iOS6?

    I do I Reset my iPhone 3GS after trying to download iOS6?

    To echo Tim:
    Was your phone jailbroken or unlocked by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to before you updated? If so, it's now permanently bricked.
    If this is not the case, you should be able to force restore in Recovery Mode:

  • When I sync with my iphone i get an error reporting message but the sync still works.  After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds until I quit Entourage.  How do I turn this message off?.

    Question: 
    When I sync with my iphone I get an error reporting message but the sync still works.  After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds as long as Entourage is open.  This continues until I quit Entourage.  How do I turn this message off? It interferes with any other work I am doing.   I appreciate any suggestions.

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

    modular747,
    Had same problem, got answer from supprot community and it worked.
    Hold down your power bar (on top) and your Home button (on face at bottom) for about 10 - 20 sec. and your phone will be restored - nothing lost or changed.  Worked like a charm for me 20 sec ago.
    Good luck
