How to restore a bricked iphone that will not turn on?
My husband tried to update his iPhone 4s to iOS 7. Somehow in the process his phone bricked. It will not turn on, (and yes we have tried to hold down the home and power button. It does not work) iTunes does not recognize it when plugged in, and when we plug it into a power outlet nothing happens.
Is there a way to save this phone? Or should I just toss it?
When he updated he proably not have it plugged in so it not fully update
do not throw phone away
be a software issue or battery
uninstall itunes
reinstall itunes newest version and try again
sounds like battery issue
take for repair if all fails
- Will my iPhone 5 get bricked if i get ios 7 beta for free? I was just curious because i really want to get ios 7 for free after seeing a few youtube videos demonstrating on how to get it but i heard that when beta 2 releases for ios 7 that my iPhone 5 will get bricked. If that's the case i don't want to get ios 7 but if it's possible to unbrick my iPhone 5 can someone tell me? Can i downgrade from ios 7 to ios 6?
- My bricked iPhone won't support a charge. It was previously non-tetheredly jailbroken? It's a 16gb iPhone 3gs. I jailbroke it but it was untethered so it became bricked. It started with not charging on the computer and then not charging on the wall charger and then eventually not holding a charge.
- IPhone 4 is it bricked or just the battery? Okay so i dropped my iphone 4 in the sink by accident for like 10 seconds and now i tried to restore by using tinyumbrella and now the apple logo appears (no longer in recovery mode) but like 5 seconds after the apple logo appears and then fades and it does that process the whole doesn't it get past it so is it a dead battery or is it completely gone iphone 4?
- Iphone 3gs is bricked and the power button is broken, what do I do? I went to check on my iphone and it a black screen so II tried to turn it on but it wouldn't work. (IT WAS 100% Charged!) So I researched what could of happened and apparently it is bricked and I would have to get it into recovery mode, BUT I can't! My power button is broken. Info: It is charged It dosen't respond to itunes.
