My iphone 3gs won't turn on or restore without turning at mid point of the process?
My iphone 3gs turned off yesterday, when i looked at my phone it was looping the apple logo over and over as if it was trying to reboot but couldnt. My phone is completely up to date with software and is not jail broken etc.
when i plugged my phone into a wall it started looping the reboot process over and over with the apple logo coming and going again, however when plugged it into my lap top it displayed the "connect to itunes", i then put it in to the recovery process on tunes
it then extracted the software but after that point the phone would disconnect from the laptop (reboot again) and the process is disrupted, i've done this countless time but the same result, the usual error number is 1611
iver tried a few computers still nothing, this is so f***king annoying, its completely useless.
Can any body give me some kind of solution please, i need my iphone working
Try this out.
Solution for Error 1611:
1- Change the USB port the phone is plugged in to. Do not plug the phone back in yet.
2- Reboot the computer then plug the phone in and immediately restart the phone in DFU WHILE CONNECTED to the computer.
Here is the link on how to put your phone in DFU mode in case you need it: http://jailbreakhome.com/put-iphone-in-dfu-mode
3- Hit restore.
This all works, even if you didn't jailbreak your phone. What will happen, is that your phone will be updated and itunes will download the next update. Your screen should be black, meaning that it is in DFU mode. After the update finishes the downloading, it will start to extract the software. The downloading time takes a while, since it needs to verify restoration, etc.etc. The apple logo should be visible with a progress bar when downloading. It will take a long time. When it is done, itunes may ask you if you want to download your backup back into the phone or just use it as a "new" phone. It is advised to press on the "backup", since you get all your contacts, mail, messages, etc.back.
- Why is my iPhone 5 turning off and not turning back on? This has happened twice now. My iPhone 5 has turned off in the middle of the night with a full charge and off the charger, and when I try to turn it back on it takes a couple tries. Has anybody experienced this?
- Switch to iPhone mid-contract? I currently have an LG Cosmos 2 from Verizon. I'm on a shared plan with my family, and I believe it is a 2-year contract that I've had for a year and 3 months (it was late August of '11). Can I switch to an iPhone before the contract is up? How much will it cost? I plan to get the free iPhone 4 so I don't care about the phone cost, just how much it costs to change before the contract is up.
- My Iphone four crashed mid update and now won't restart? I downloaded the latest update, and in the middle of it, my phone shuts off. Now, whenever I turn it on it just says plug into itunes, and I can't do anything else. It says I need to restore to original factory settings and lose all my data, which I Really don't want to do. Does anyone know if there's a way to solve this so I don't have to lose all my data? Yes I have apples site and they only have one thread about it for the recent crash and it is unanswered.
