My iPhone won't update/restore?

Tried to update my iPhone, didn't work. Says I need to restore my phone, won't restore. It tries to then it goes black. I'm freaking out what it going on.

If you can still get the home menu wipe the phone and try again. I also believe if you plug it into itunes you can also restore the device. Try again.

Do you at least have a valid backup? How are you trying to restore? Their have been issues when trying to restore via icloud.

  • Iphone 6 won't update/restore, previously jailbroken? Trying to go from 8.1.2 to 8.3, now stuck at the "plug into iphone" screen. I've already tried holding the home and power buttons. Excluding going the the apple store, is there any way to get past this screen? Any help is deeply appreciated
  • IPhone 3GS won't fully turn on, stays on Apple logo, won't restore? Earlier today i was simply using twitter on my iphone when it crashed. This has happened before and it usually goes back to the apple logo and turns back on. But this time the screen remained black. I pressed the lock button and the logo appeared, only to have it turn off again, and then back on to the logo. This has been repeating now for hours. I tried restoring it in both Recovery Mode and DFU Mode and it didn't work in either. Anyone have any idea what i could try at this point?
