iPhone 3G force Restore consequences
Hi all,
I bought my iPhone 3G two years back and was really happy with it till yesterday.
All of a sudden I see apple logo on my screen. I tried to turn it off by pressing and holding the sleep button, but it didn't work. I tried the Home+Sleep option and switched it off. Then switched on and all I see is apple logo and after few minutes the white processing circle goes on for few seconds and it stops there, but it doesn't go forward to home screen. If I leave it as in this condition, I see the screen flash after few minutes and then the apple logo again. Finally the phone switches off and when I turn it on, I saw the red colored low battery, so charged the phone.
The whole above mentioned, is happening since two days. I can only think of force restoring the iPhone now, but was afraid if I lose all the data.
I thought of this option to force restore by "pressing Home button and hold and plug into my mac, open iTunes, keep holding the home button till I see a message saying - New iPhone discovered, would you like to restore- then press OK. " If I do this then does it take my phone back to as when it was bought, and do I have to do all the updates again??????????
I have a backup done last week though.
All your support will be really thankful as its really difficult to live without my Phone.
