RESET IPHONE 3G AND NOW IT WON't START, TRYED EVERYTHING?

I recently lost my phone so a close friend of mine let me have her old iphone 3g. She still had lots of old photos, contacts, apps, and ect. So i thought it'd be easier to reset the iphone instead of erasing everything. It said it'd take up to two hours and it was doing fine but then instead of starting up again its just stuck with the apple logo and a loading sign. The loading sign freezes after a couple seconds and that's it. I've tried plugging it to itunes but it won't come up, i've pressed the sleep and home button like everyone says but nothing. I'm so stressed out help please. Also instead of shutting off when i hold down the home and sleep button the screen goes black but then the apple logo imedaitly comes up again even if i didn't let go of the buttons yet.

You need to factory reset. Connect to itunes

Si sir

Put the iPhone in DFU mode, and restore it in iTunes.
Now, I'm not really sure if you realize either way it will delete everything on it.

  • What language should I start with to start developing iOS apps? If I want to develop iPhone apps, should I learn Python first or just go straight to objective C or learn something else? I have 0 programming skills and have only done some web development. I have a Mac and Xcode.
  • Reset my iPhone 5s and now it won't turn on? I got a new phone today and someone is meant to be buying this phone tomorrow so i went to factory reset the phone but when i did it went completely black and wouldn't turn on or do anything. I plugged it into my computer and went on iTunes, it told me my phone was in recovery mode and that i need to restore it through iTunes and so i did. 2 hours of waiting went by and when it was finished it said my iPhone was not "eligible". Has anyone else had this problem?
  • I'm stranded right now. My car won't start, battery? Engine lights work, AC works.etc but car won't start. I was in my car for an hour and a half with my iphone on charge using it at the same time. Is this obciously a dead battery?
  • I'm going to start re selling thing, where should i start? Okay so i have items new (phone cases, chargers, clothes, etc. ) but i don't know where to exactly start instagram or twitter or ebay or amazon? I want to be local maybe but ill ship if i have too. & how much should i list items for? example would $8 be a good price for a new iphone 5/5s/5c charger that is 5 ft. everything would be new shirts price around $5 -$10? i want every thing to be at a reasonable price.
