My iPhone 3gs is stuck on apple logo even after a restore on DFU mode, what can I do?

Hi guys, I just got an iPhone 3gs from my girlfriend and it was working perfectly, I restore it from the phone by erasing all data on it, and it wont boot after that, it is stuck on the apple logo, I've tried restoring it in recovery mode and even in DFU mode, but it's not working, what should I do?

If you live near an apple store make an appointment. They will perform a DFU restore using known good equipment.
If that doesn't work you probably have liquid damage.

Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

Ipod nano 4th gen stuck on apple logo even after restore

okay, i have an ipod nano 4th gen. it gets stuck on the boot logo, (apple logo) every time it tries to restart. i have rebooted, gone into the diagnostics, put it into disk mode, and even restored from there. the computer doesnt recognize the ipod unless in disk mode and no matter how many times i restore or reboot, it does the same thing every time. stuck. please help

Since you have the "exact" same problem, why don't you do any of the following:
If you have AppleCare and/or still under warranty, give them a call. If not, take your iPod to your local Apple Store or AASP. Let them properly diagnose the problem and provide you w/a repair estimate.
U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

Iphone 6 its stuck in apple logo

my iphone 6 its stuck in Apple logo how do i open it pleas i need halp!!!!

Hi, denismarko,
you can solve this problem by putting your iPhone into recovery mode and restoring it from backup.
Connect the USB cable that came with your iPhone to your computer, but not to your iPhone.
Turn your iPhone off. If the phone won't turn off in the traditional manner, just keep holding the buttons until the screen goes dark.
Once you've turned the device off, press the home button and plug in the USB cable to the device's dock connector.
When it turns on, keep pressing the home button until the iTunes logo appears on the screen.
You'll know the phone is now in recovery mode when a window in iTunes tells you.
You can then start the restore process by clicking the Restore button in the iTunes window.

Greetings bruce0bruce,
It seems your device is not functioning, and the Sleep/Wake button isn't working as well. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced.

I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the iPhone 3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to update it. It has never been hacked or jailbroken. We and a few others are having the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an update issue. I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this issue and that if there was a way to update it to the update before this last one it might be a solution. I don't know how to get the previous update. Apple probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet. The tech suggested that there might be something wrong with the phone itself, but that couldn't be since it was working perfectly before I updated it and others are having the same issue. It is highly unlikely that a lot of people are not having the same hardware issue all of a sudden at the same time.

Stuck in The Apple logo I cannot open it or use it what can I do??

My iphone 5 is Stuck in The Apple logo I cannot open it or use it what can I do??

The option key is the key that has alt on it...
If the disc is still stuck try these options below:
Keyboard
Hold down F12 as you restart the computer until the CD ejects itself.
USB Mouse
Hold down the left mouse button as you restart the computer until the CD ejects itself.
Good luck.

Screen is stuck on Apple icon even after I reset

Screen is stuck on Apple Icon even after I reset the device ? Sugggestions?

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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Iphone 3GS keep loading in apple logo after restore to 4.3.5

Hi all,
I have an problem in my iphone 3GS. It couldn't boot up to lockscreen and always stuck in apple logo but it able to sync to the itunes. I try many times in restoring to latest firmware 4.3.5 in DFU and recovery mode and also uses different PC, the problem still not resolved. Anyone can advise?

I would try forcing into recovery mode and then restoring again to see if this helps. If not then it would need to be serviced by repair or replacing the device which will not be covered under the warranty due to the liquid.

Ipad 2 stuck on apple logo and won't restore

Is there anyone that can help me, my son has an ipad 2 it worked fine, but all of a sudden apps started flickering and then went stuck on the apple logo, iv tried a hard reset and then eventually restored it several times via an iMac, but still stuck on apple logo, does anyone know how to get it back working, or know how to fix it, thanks

Did you force it into recovery mode to restore it?

If you use Recovery Mode and had no success, them you should seek help at an Apple Store. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar and have the Apple Tech take a look at the iPad.
