Updated 4.0, stuck on "slide for emergency"

Everything updated pretty quick, and I went to turn it on and now I get this "slide for emergency" message, anyone know what to do?
iTunes won't recognize it, I get this error message:
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)."
So I can't restore to the backup I did before I updated.
Tried restarting iTunes. And no this isn't a jailbroke phone. It's straight from Apple/AT&T.
I've tried restarting the phone by holding both home button and power button. Still frozen.
Please help!

To put the iPhone into DFU or recovery mode:
1. Connect your iPhone to your PC.
2. Open the iTunes application.
3. Hold down the top button on your iPhone and the circle home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds.
4. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes"
5. Just click OK. Your iPhone screen will be black as well.

  • Slide for emergency

    My iphone is stuck at slide for emergency though it was working till date. I bought this Officially unlocked iphone from UK and I am in India for last one year. It was working fine and today it stopped working.
    Error message displayed:
    There is a problem with your IPhone
    We are sorry the iphone you connected is not recognized and cannot be activated for services. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information.
    I have tried DFU 3-4 times but of no use.
    Can you please guide me as phone is bricked.

    You say you bought 'Officially unlocked iphone from UK'.
    Where did you buy it and who unlocked it ? I ask as we have about one person a day here saying they have an officially unlocked iPhone bought in the UK which turns out not to be from the UK at all.
    Its probably awaiting a valid SIM card from the original country and being activated with account details, which you would not get unless you had it on its original network.

  • IPhone 2G - Stuck on Connect To iTunes/Slide for Emergency

    I was going back to my original iphone 2g where I'm stuck on "Connect To iTunes/Slide for Emergency" screen.
    This is not a jailbreak phone as it was working phone until I choose an upgrade and went back to orignal iphone. I was told at AT&T store I have to activate with iTunes. With latest version of iTunes, I get connection time out error[no error code] on connecting to iTunes store after activation is complete. I get an email from apple my phone is activated, but I still see Connect To iTunes... As soon as I plug-in the iPhone I get connection time out error.
    Per AT&T everything provisioned as per my account and even they put the sim in a diff phone and it works. Thouhgt I could try with old version on iTunes and got atleast a stage I can see everything [Name, Capacity, Software Version and Serial Number] in ituens. This is with ituens version 9.1. But I still see Connect To iTunes... As I run diagnostics from itunes I see that orange for 'No iPhone or iPod found' under 'Ports'. Interstingly, if I take out the SIM, I can see everything [including my screenshot] and I can browse using Wi-Fi but no calls as there is no SIM. This is sixth day that I dont have working phone and still counting... 
    Since I dont have a back up and not sure how best I can bring my phone back online without restore. Plz help.

    This has been taken care by sr advisor at apple.
    The problem seems to be an issue as the apple server does not know my iphone at all based on the serial number. They manually updated the s/n and sim on their servers and I dont see connect to itunes window anymore by connecting to iTunes and phone is back online without any restore.
    Per my understanding I should get an email as it updates the content on the servers, but I never got one and ended up calling again after 48hrs. Then I was told you should be good, goahed and connect to iTunes, ofcourse I was also told if that does not work you have to try restoring.. scary!!
    Now, I'm back on searching to upgrade my phone
    Happy Thanksgiving.

    I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • Slide for Emergency - Stuck on Lock Screen

    Recently on my new iPhone 6,  I noticed that the battery percentage was not going down with the use of my device.  I held the lock button to power off, and I turned the phone back on.  When I saw the lock screen,  the time was not being displayed and the "Slide to Unlock" prompt was changed to the "Slide for Emergency" prompt.  After sliding to input my passcode before Touch ID could work, my passcode would not allow me to access my phone and instead, my phone vibrated once and sent me back to the slide to unlock screen.  These screens seem to be very glitchy, often times not responding to wake button presses or home button presses.  The screen will also often go black for no reason.  My device is running iOS 8.1.2 without any jailbreaks. I've already tried turning it off and back on, and holding the lock and home buttons at the same time.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Try the following testing after each step
    - Reset the device. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • IPhone Message "Slide For Emergency" - Please HELP

    I got my new iPhone the other day!! It was working fine until I updated it...
    When i updated it, i turned the phone on and how it is saying "Slide For Emergency" in different languages!!! It wont let me do anything exept from dialing an emergency number.....
    Please Help

    Your iPhone has updated and is waiting for you to validate the AT&T account it is supposed to be registered with.
    If you hacked it to work with other networks, then you modified the software in violation of the license agreement for your iphone.
    One of the downsides to hacking an iphone is you can't update it the normal way afterwards.

  • Brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB, put sim card in, turned on, Slide for Emergency.

    I just bought an iPhone 3GS with 32GB black, I used the pin to eject the sim card socket, and put the sim card in.then i pressed the silver power button at the top right corner for 3 seconds, it turned on with the gray apple. Then it comes to "Slide for emergency" with this itunes icon.
    Now what do I do?

    Ok seems to work. Thanks very much. Connecting to iTunes solved the problem. I presume I was one of the few cases where the iPhone didn't work without being hooked up to a computer first.
    (I had read reports about this happening to people after they had upgraded, or 'jailbroke' their phone, but since I had done neither of these things, I was worried)
    All iPhones have to be activated through iTunes. Usually it is done at the store when you buy it.

  • Iphone 3gs stucked on slide to emergency lock screen

    i updated my iphone 3gs 4.1 to 5.1.1 but it stucked on recovery mode then i restored it from itunes(itunes said that it will update iphone to latest version but it updated it to ios 4.3.5)however to  when it completed the restore my iphone starts and stuck on lockscreen and instead of "slide to unlock""slide to emergency" is written and itunes logo and usb cord is also on lockscreen and in tunes it was written that "the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be suppoted"please tell me what can i do

    Same problem is occuring here.
    When powered on and slid to unlock phone will work fine (if the phone is not unlocked immediately and the screen is allowed to turn off before unlocking, step 2 happens immediately).
    If the phone is allowed to lock itself and I try to unlock it will "freeze" with the slider all the way to the right.
    It remains at this screen for around 2 minutes until the screen goes black and the loader image displays in the middle of the screen (the same display as if you switch the phone entirely off by holding down the power button)
    The phone remains here for around 30 - 60 seconds and then will reboot.
    Go back to number 1.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.

  • My flash update has been stuck at 30% for hours. Is there anything I can do to actually get it to download?

    I have been trying to download flash to watch an exam review and it has been stuck at 30% for hours. I tried restarting the download and it went to 30% and stopped again. I am using a Mac with the most up to date software available for it.

    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • HT4623 updated my 4s to iOS7 last night today when I turnedon phone it says iphone is disabled  slide for emergency

    updated 4s to iOS7 last night today I can't open anything phone displays iPhone is disabled What do I do?

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • Software Update Not Working - Stuck at "Checking for New Software"

    Hey Everybody,
    I have recently been experiencing problems with my Software Update. After I open it, it gets stuck at the screen and times-out after a while asking me to check my network to see if I'm connected to the Internet. My internet is working fine yet the Software Update is still not working. I have tried removing the Software Update pdlist and trying to change the cache.db yet nothing is working. I have run the verify disk and repair disk utility with no result. Anyone got any other ideas other then a clean install?

    See if the following fixes the problem:
    Fix for Software Update
    See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
    Delete the following files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist
    "xxx" is a number.
    /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)

  • IPad Stuck on checking for updates

    I have an ipad 2 and I want to update to iOS 6.1,3 but when I pressed software update it is stuck on checking for updates what do I do

    Gave up. Attached my iPad to my iMac, updated through iTunes. Went back to iPad settings, Same prob.
    Was really hoping the update would fix iMessage, FaceTime, Notes and email but I guess my hopes were set too high to get this brand new iPad Air 128 to work like it's supposed too.
    Sorry, long day. Negative results. Feeling beat.
