Phone stuck on loading screen, red LED flashing, will not turn on.

So I just bought this phone two days ago and have not dropped it or anything, it keeps flashing on the loading screen then just turns off and the red LED light goes off like I am receiving a message. It will not start up, i've tried charging it some more, i tried removing the battery and yeah.. i'm just not sure what else to do.
I've had a horrible time with this phone(The guy I purchased it from told me it was activated, then when I called virgin a day later they told me he forgot to...), and im really not sure what to do, please help :/
Thank you, any info is appreciated.

We can certain try troubleshooting. I know that some people may just prefer to send it back if it's not working when they first get it. The steps to reload the OS are as follows:
First download and install the Desktop Manager from here (4.7 without Media Manager is recommended): https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Next download and install the handheld software from here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Afterwards try reloading the OS by connecting the device to your computer, open the Desktop Manager, then go into the Application Loader. This will open a wizard that steps you through reloading the OS onto your device. More detailed steps can be found in here:

If the device isn't recognized when you plug it into the computer then try using the following 2 methods to reload the OS:

HT1688 When I receive a picture or take one, I use to be able to turn the phone to fill the screen now the pictures will not turn when I rotate phone iPhone 4. Help please

When I first got my iPhone when I received a picture or took one I could turn phone and picture would turn to fill the screen. It will not do this anymore, is there a setting I need to correct? Ty

Rory,
I have the same issue, but my screen is not locked as you instructed Little5571. Neither images or webpages rotate to landscape when I turn my phone. Do I need to do a factory reset and restore to fix this issue?

Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool. I'm afraid it will start a fire.

light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool. I'm afraid it will start a fire. Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire. It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down.

more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update. I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen. I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it. Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month.

LED light will not turn off

All of a sudden my red LED light is not turning off now. I have no new messages and it will not turn off. I shut my BB off and then it goes away, but comes back and stays on once I have a message. Anything I can do?

My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Try Hard Reset -> Hold down these two buttons at the same time [Sleep/Wake & Home] the moment you see the Apple Logo 'release those buttons' allow device to reset
If still no resolution -
Restore
[back up information either via iTunes or iCloud if no recent one has been done]
Erase All Content an Settings - FIRST Set up As New - Test Camera Flash
Works? Great! - restore back up
[NOTE - if the flash does not respond again after restoring back up then sorry will have to Erase All Content and Settings Again and then the best part 'Set up As New and manually enter data/information']
If the first time done and after setting up as new and still not resolved - then Id suggest call AppleCare Support or set an appointment up with an Apple Retail Store
Best of luck

My phone all of the sudden is off and will not turn back on. It's a brand new iPhone 5

My phone all of the sudden is off and won't turn back on.

Hi Ashley0607,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone 5.
Follow the steps below if the iPhone is not powering on:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
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 LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 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.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

My phone stuck on loading screen, HELP!

I tried updating to ios8 through iTunes but my phone got stuck on the loading screen. Thinking I could help I restarted my phone and iTunes then asked me to restore my phone and now it is stuck on the loading screen AGAIN. All it is showing is the Apple logo and the status/loading bar (which hasn't loaded at all) and has been like this for over 2 hours. I'm leaving in an hour and need help ASAP. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

NVM... broke down and called Apple Care. Pressed on/off button and held it for a few minutes before pressing home button. In recovery mode, but at least it is doing something now!

Flash will not turn off

My iPhone 4S got very slightly wet, while in a "Life Proof" case. Now the flash/spot light will not shut off. It drains the battery in about an hour. Even when the phone will not boot up due to low battery, the flash is still on.
What should I do?

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and take your credit card with you. A replacement will cost you $199.

MBPr screen and backlight logo will not turn on

Just need to confirm if it is a hardware fault with my screen.
The screen and the Apple logo on the back cover will not power on even though my laptop will work fine with an external monitor, only thing is; is that the external monitor is not being detected as an extended screen but the primary screen.
would anyone be able to confirm if this is definitely a hardware fault with the screen?
Kind Regards.

Ipod touch 32gb red special edition will not turn on - looking for advice

my daughter has a red special edition ipod touch 32gb but for some reason it is refusing to turn on - looking for any assistance on this?

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