My iphone 4 crashed (black screen) and now wont turn on or restore! help, my iphone 4 crashed (black screen) and now wont turn on or restore! help

i can put it into recovery mode but wont finish restoring advise please

Here are Apple Steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You can try a DFU Mode Restore:
Open iTunes on Computer, connect iPhone to Computer with USB Cable, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button, keep holding the Home Button until iTunes says it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds longer. If the iPhone Screen is Black, Blank this is DFU Mode, Restore the iPhone Firmware. If something is on the screen this is not DFU Mode. Keep trying to get DFU Mode, which is sometimes difficult even for experienced users. DFU Mode = iTunes says Recovery Mode and iPhone Screen is black, blank.
If your iPhone Restore results with an Error, write down the Error Number so you can look up the cause and the fix.

My iphone 5 has just crashed and my screen is now black

My iphone 5 has just crashed and my screen is now black and i cant see anything but the sound is still working when i press my middle button
HELP!!

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Recently downloaded and (tried to) installed IOS 8.1 for my iPhone 6 (16GB) and now all it does is load the white screen with the black Apple logo and then crashes and shows a red screen. The cycle then repeats. Suggestions?

Title says it all.

Hi Cornelius6505,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone does not start up past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

IPhone OS 2.0 at Black Screen with Apple Logo, Apps crash and not run

Apple Support: Do not delete this. I am complying with your requests. According to your T&C, I must state my problems in question form to ask the community or your teams for help in a constructive way. I believe my original post was only playfully negative, but since I am complying now, I would expect that you do not delete this, otherwise you're simplying just trying to put spin on a buggy release. PLEASE HELP. I have not heard back from Feedback, and phone support continually says to RESTORE the phone, which only solves these problems for a few hours.
1) My iPhone OS 2.0 is very slow, even with a virgin restore with no apps or synchronized content.
2) My iPhone OS 2.0 reboots at random times.
3) My PURCHASED applications crash randomly, under unreproducible conditions.
4) Free applications crash randomly.
5) My iPhone OS 2.0 will not boot after an irregular interval of reboots, showing only the black screen with the apple logo. Letting this sit for 8 hours simply drains the battery until it goes pitch black. POWER+DOWN_ARROW and an iTunes restore is the only way to recover. This process takes hours to complete.
I have gone several days without a working phone while away from the iTunes at home to restore my contacts and other data vital to the operation of my business, not to mention a phone that actually works to make and receive calls.
As stated in the previous post, I'm a loyal Apple customer, and have spent considerable time evangelizing the brand, and have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars by purchasing Apple laptops instead of Dell.
Can you please tell me how to solve this? If there is no firmware problem, please give me a real solution to fix this. I am not the only one with this problem.
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Many of us have this problem. I've had it several times now.
The only way to fix it, is to restore the iPhone.
I know it seems like it wont boot, or wont do anything, but it will... just do this.
Start Itunes. Turn off the iPhone, now put it in the dock or plug it into the USB cable, WHILE holding the top button on the phone down. Keep holding it down. It will then show a connect cable icon on the phone. It should show up in iTunes at this point. Proceed to restore the phone per screen instructions.
Once its back up and booting and working etc...
MAKE SURE... you DO NOT... install any application or delete any application on your iphone. IF you dare do so.... MAKE ABSOLUTELY certain you do not do ANYTHING at the same time. That means NEVER DL an app from itunes store on your phone, and while it is installing, ... avoid clicking on anything, touching the phone, starting a different app, going back to the itunes store...
In other words... If you try to multitask... it causes some weird bug.

my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

HT4061 My iPhone prompted me to download the latest version of iOS7. I did, and now my phone won't power on. It just shows an iTunes icon on a black screen.

My iPhone prompted me to download the latest version of iOS7. I did, and now my phone won't power on. It just shows an iTunes icon on a black screen. When I connect my phone to iTunes on my laptop, the only option it gives me is to restore my phone's factory settings. But won't this erase all my photos, contacts, etc? Any suggestions?

It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. You have to restore the phone. Anything that was on it is already gone.
If you've been backing up/syncing on a regular basis, you won't lose anything except what's changed since the last backup.

My iphone screen is black and now i can't do anything on it. someone help me!!

I just got my phone fixed like 3 weeks ago and i put my phone against a table in the cafeteria at my school and now the phone screen's black and i can't do anything on it.

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

I restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

i restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

I plugged my iphone into itunes on a new computer nothing happened and now even when i unplug it, its just a black screen with itunes icon and a usb...someone please help?

Plug in your phone and launch iTunes on the computer. Then in the sidebar look for something about an iPhone. Click it and set up your iPhone. Has this iPhone ever been synced with another computer?
