My phone(4) won't turn on after latest update

I ran the latest update last night & now can't turn on my phone. All I get is the iTunes emblem & a picture of the plug in on a charger. any suggestions besides a reboot. Don't think I've ever backed up my phone.

If you get that screen then your iPad is in recovery mode.
You will have to restore it on a computer using iTunes:

    P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Help! Phone won't turn on after ICS update

    So I just updated my phone a few hours ago. I looked down at it to see if it was finished and noticed it was off. When I tried to turn it on it wouldn't power up. I've had it on the charger for an hour now. When it goes on the charger, the red Motorola insignia comes on the screen but nothing happens after that. My phone may have died during the upgrade so that could be the problem. I've reset it about 10 times and it still won't turn on. Any suggestions???? I had a baby a month ago and would be devastated if I lost my pictures.

    Jess i can tell Ya is Hook your Razr up to the Charger and Leave it on there for about 3 Hours Maybe 4 and then with the Charger Hooked to it Try to Restart it.. if you Can See were your at on the Download it Takes about 15 Minutes for the Initial Download then the Phone Will Power itself but should Come Back on and Finish the Rest of you Will see the Little Android Character And Below it A Rectangle box and you should see another Bar in Yellow moving across it. When that's Finished Give it some Time and it Reboot itself and then Update you Apps then it should Finished After That.. But hopefully By leaving it on the Charger for a While Will pull it out of the State it's in Now..

  • IPhone5S won't turn on after software update

    iPhone5S is bricked after software update.  Apparently this is becoming widespread.  Hello, Apple??????  http://www.techienews.co.uk/976861/apple-ios-7-0-6-update-allegedly-bricks-iphon e-5s-ipad-air/  http://www.thebitbag.com/iphone-5s-and-ipad-air-bricked-by-apple-ios-7-0-6-updat e/70286

    Hey Stheus3,
    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:

  • Battery won't stayed charged after latest update on iphone 4

    I cannot get the battery on my iphone 4 to stayed charged.  I charged it to 100% before going to bed by morning it was down to 35%. I had turned off automatic push services, made sure there were no open icons. I had spoken with an Apple rep that morning so he instructed me on what I should do.  I've had the iphone 4 since January with no problems at all until I downloaded the latest update ....that's when all my problems with the battery began & my facetime freezes so bad I'm unable to use it & it worked great before the battery problems started.... the battery has lost all charge and I have recharged to 100 % several times and still will not hold charge......any information would be greatly appreciated...I'm so frustrated!!!

    Please define "not working".

  • IMac won't boot up after latest update

    Hi
    I'm a newbie to this forum but any help would be greatly appreciated please
    We've had our iMac for 2yrs now no issues but when I went to do the latest update today it's gone a bit weird!
    I did the install and relaunch like I always do but when rebooting it got stuck on the white start up page with the apple logo and a circular timer
    Ive rebooted it several times and performed a PRAM and SMC reset but still same issue. The fan started to run fast but the resets seem to have solved that?
    Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it please?
    Thanks in advance

    The reason Allan was asking what update is this will affect how it's handled. However without knowing I believe the most wise thing to do it take the machine into an Apple Store or AASP where they can help you. One of the most recent updates was a EFI update for 2011 iMacs. If your iMac is a 2011 machine (released after May 2011) and that is the update in question then the only recourse is taking it in as mentioned.
    There are a couple of things you can try though, first is restart using the Install Disk or if you are on Lion restart and when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option Key. Then choose Disk Utilities and run Repair Disk Permissions, do this 2x. Then exit DU and try to restart normally. If that doesn't work then try rebooting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more has become corrupt. If neither of these work then definetely take it in.
    Finally please  please please complete your profile, use Your Stuff in the upper right of this page then click Profile and complete. This is vital to helping you. At this point we know nothing about your system, what version of OS X, which iMac, etc...

  • E71 won't turn on after marketplace update

    Hi,
    My phone does not boot anymore. When I try to turn it on I can feel the vibration and see the keyboard and display light. However, the screen remains blank. Not even the Nokia logo comes up. After a minute or so the phone turns off again.
    This all happens after OVI marketplace update. I was going to the application folder and it said I had to load a marketplace update to proceed. I did that and the installation seemed to be successful. It then asked to restart. I confirmed and boom...now my phone is deard.
    Please please help me. I tried to do a hard reset (3 + * + green + on) without success. When I connect the phone to my computer, the nokia suite does not recognize it anymore. What can I do?
    Thanks

    Remove the battery for about 10 minutes, remove the memory card, try the 3 finger reset again. If that doesn't work you've to bring your E71 in for servicing.

  • IPhone won't turn on after software update

    Last night I went to update my iPhone 4S to the latest iOS 7. I went to sleep while it was updating and it was charging and when I woke up it wasn't on and it kept vibrating every few seconds when it was charging. I tried to turn it on, then I tried to restart it and held the home and sleep buttons for 20 seconds. I tried connecting it to iTunes and iTunes won't detect a device. Any help??

    I tried to restart it and held the home and sleep buttons for 20 seconds.
    Try it this way ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • 6700 Classic - won't turn on after software update

    HELP!!!!!!!!
    I decided to update my phone software on my phone (not through a pc/laptop) It said installing 1/3 might go off for 30 secs ........ an hour later it is still flashing a blank gray screen with a line across the top, I took battery out and left for 20 mins but nothing changed when I put battery back in ......
    Please help as this is my only form of contact as  I'm housebound

    Sorry for the delay, I don't check the forums all that reguarly. You have to send the phone back to the retailer who in turn sends it to nokia - the whole process took about 2-3 weeks if I recall correctly.
    On a better note, some progress on this has been made! I ordered a 6700 classic on Vodafone through my Vodafone Platinum business provider, but stipulated it must be running v13.1. They came back saying Nokia wouldn't authorise this on the batch of phones they had.
    So, as my girlfriend's Sony Ericsson was failing, I took a 6700 classic running v10.5. When I received it, I knew not to attempt the upgrade over the air, so just before handing the phone to her, I plugged it into my Ovi suite and ran the update checker - and v13.1 was available!
    Some progress indeed.So, it might not work for all networks, but certainly for a 6700 classic from Vodafone, it seems this can be upgraded to the latest version - OK not over the air, at least I don't think so, I am certainly not going to try that again but there is a solution for some nonetheless using Ovi and being on the right network - its a network/country lottery it would seem.
    Perhaps Nokia or someone who has recently used the phone's built-in update method can confirm or deny this method working?
