My phone won't turn on for me to update it.... HELP!

I can't turn on my phone to update it. What do I need to do??

press and hold the top power button and the home button at the same time for about 6seconds until you se an apple apear, then release both. Your phone should then boot up.

    Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

  • HT4623 just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.

    Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • Phone won't turn on - Xperia Z

    My phone won't turn on whatsoever. It is not unresponsive, the LEDs work, they go red when it is charging. I have looked for a solution but I can find absolutely none. I've charged it for 24 hours so it is not a matter of battery drain. When I connect it to the computer it says that "SEMC Flash Drive connected" and it plays the sound, not sure why it doesn't say Xperia Z connected. Sony PC Companion won't recognise the phone so it won't let me restore it. I've tried to put it in recovery but whenever I try to do it, the phone just vibrates and does nothing, same with turning it on, it just vibrates, does nothing and then vibrates again. Is there a way to wipe the data in it's state currently or is there a fix because right now my phone is as useful as a brick. The phone isn't stuck on the boot logo, it just won't turn on

    Try running a repair, but ensure you start the process with the phone not connected to the PC and do not connect till it prompts you to do so after the repair option is selected. What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

  • I plugged my phone into my computer, it tried to update the phone and the update failed. Now my phone won't turn on.

    My phone won't turn on. The update failed when plugged into the computer and now it wants to restore it to factory settings. I don't want to lose everything. What do I do?

    Hi,
    With your iPhone plugged in can you see the Summary window?
    You may be able to restore from backup, if you have backups on your computer.
    If not, maybe you should try Recovery

  • Android 5 update, battery died now phone won't turn on on xperia z1

    I started the lollipop update but my phone battery died halfway through. The phone now won't turn on. It did start charging, but now won't charge. It won't talk to my computer, it keeps saying USB not recognised and that it has malfunctioned. I have tried pressing the power button and volume buttons but not working. Tried the reset button, but it's not working. Phone won't turn on at all.

    Performing a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Phone won't turn back on

    My phone won't turn back on.
    I put it in a music dock, than took it out.
    After I took it out, my phone completely shut off and has not been able to turned on again.
    I've plugged it in the wall charger and into my computer...no luck
    Someone please help me!

    Try resetting your iPhone. Press and hold the on/off button and home button for around 10-15 minutes (maybe a little longer in some cases) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider).  You should not lose any data by doing this.

  • Updated my iPhone 5s to 7.0.6 and the phone won't turn back on.

    Phone won't turn on after Apple update 7.0.6. Any ideas of the problem and solution?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

  • My phone won't turn on.. but it was working five minutes ago perfectly.. help!!!

    So i woke up, was texting on my phone that works perfectly or so i thought.. Come back from getting something to eat and the phone won't turn on.. I've used 2 different charges to try to charge it, plugging it into my computer and 2 different wall chargers. When i Plug the phone into the computer it recognizes a phone was plugged in.. if anyone can help please !!!!!

    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

    I updated my phone to IOS 8.2. Now my phone won't turn on. I tried to reboot but it won't reboot

    The first two approaches is reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  If that does not work, then the second, and more drastic approach is to use the recover mode to connect to the computer running iTunes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and summarized as:
    But note you will need a backup of your content as the recovery mode erases all content and settings.
