Update stopped during ios update own iphone now phones broke

I connected my iPhone 4 to my computer (iTunes) and started doing the update through iTunes. About five minutes into the update iTunes in my computer stops working, causing the update to of course stop working. Now my phone will not turn on. On the screen it is black with the 'charge symbol' as if it were low on battery and an iTunes symbol. I have tried turning my phone off and on, but of course it didn't respond.

Google "putting an iPhone into recovery mode" and do that, if that doesn't work "DFU Mode" is another option Google it and it will show you how to put it into that and restore it.

Have you tried charging it.

I'm going to just assume you have…

1. Try plugging it back in
2. Let it completely run down and try plugging it back in
3. Best option: Go into an Apple Store - they're great with things like that. They can have it fixed for free in no time usually.

Your phones in recovery mode. Update itunes and plug phone in… Itunes will show a pop up that it recognizes a phone in recovery mode… Just follow the prompts. Hope you have a backup.
