stuck at apple logo no matter how many times I do factory reset

I already tried restoring my firmware to old and new ones.

Yes, I do this in DFU mode.

No matter how many times I do this, it will get stuck at the Apple logo screen.

Most answers are very generic, such as go to DFU mode and restore phone.

Already been there done that countless times.

The only people who understand my situation are people who are in the same situation.

I have already tried using iPhonebrowser software in the computer, but it is not recognizing my phone no matter how many times I plug and unplug the phone from the USB cable.

nothing is working!!

3G, iPhone OS 3.1.2

dude, you said it yourself -_- you restored it in DFU mode, so what you gotta do is exiting DFU mode which you haven't done yet 😝 and that's why your just on a logo screen lol...

so its really easy!!!

1. download tinyumbrella (look it up on google you'll find it easily)
2. connect your iPhone to the PC
3. open tiny umbrella and then on the left you will see "iPhone Device" right click it and click on "Exit Recovery Mode"
4.Restart your iPhone and I'm TOTALLY SURE IT WILL WORK...

incase ur pc won't recognize your iPhone, then do this:

1. Turn your iPhone off
2. Hold power+home buttons at the same time for 10 seconds
3. after 10 seconds, keep holding the home button and let go the power button until you see that iTunes detected the iPhone.

I'm having the same (or very similar) problem.

I have an iPhone 2g (FW 3.0.1) that I reset all the data on so I could give it to my daughter. While it was resetting (should've taken an hour or 2) it never got out of an Apple logo loop (Apple logo, then logo with little progress circle at bottom, then black screen, then repeat the sequence). I've tried the 'Power+Home buttons for 10 sec; then Home only until it goes black' thing, and all it did was turn it off. When I hit the power button again it starts all over again in it's Apple logo loop sequence. I can't seem to get it in DFU mode (I may be doing it wrong), and I can't get my computer/iTunes to recognize it when I plug it in. Please help.

Hi,

I am also experiencing the same problem. The problem started after changing the battery. iTunes is not recognizing the iPhone 3G (running 4.0 iOS/jailbreak/unlocked) at all no matter what i do. but it is charging using the USB from computer or wall charger. Tried all possibilities like uninstalling iTunes, entering DFU mode, restore mode but nothing worked for me. Finally read somewhere that resetting will get you to the factory settings so did the reset and it took 2 or more hours and finally stuck at apple logo. some times i see the yellow tint screen as well..but nothing after that. How can i solve this problem?
can anybody help? please...Thanks in advance..
