iPhone stuck on Apple logo!!! PLEASE HELP!

Thanks a lot!
this helped me a lot!!!

Thanks buddy, you saved my day..

For those like myself who don't backup your device regularly and fear you may lose data, there is hope. My 4S started looping the apple logo at start up and wouldn't go anywhere from there, the screen went black and then the apple logo would appear again over and over... Browsing around I found that recovery mode and resetting the phone was suggested, some suggested downloading software to fix the issue but I found that rather dodgy so I decided to try something else.

Now I must remind you that opening your phone will void your warranty or such if still applicable, my phone's maybe four three years old and I've replaced the screen myself so I figured I'd try something to shock the phone back into life somehow (think the last popup reminder said I hadn't backed up in 29 weeks so meh).

What I did was opened up the back cover and removed the battery, plugged it back into the charger (other end in my mac) but the loop would still occur. I plugged and unplugged a few times, unplugging right after the apple appeared, hoping for this to "confuse" the phone which was so stubbornly stuck in "recovery mode" (from what I've understood through other threads). Notice that the phone did appear to turn on without the battery connected, but plugged into a power source (not sure if that should happen since after dead battery you need to charge a while until the phone wakes up), just something mildly interesting I picked up on.

This did not appear to have any effect tho, but I decided to pop the battery back in its place (I did leave out the little black plate that goes between the battery connector and the motherboard, covering the antenna cables connecting point, not sure if that had any effect or how it would effect fully working phones (I only use this phone as an "ipod" since the sim reader has been dead for some time, but I still use the camera and music)). Pressed the power button and noticed the apple logo stayed for longer than before (became hopeful!) and eventually made way for my home-screen!

That's how I got it working, don't know if you can do a similar thing with other models. And sorry for rambling on like that, that's just how I express myself and I can't afford to hire an editor to work my internet posts. But I can leave a TL;DR version.

TL;DR Iphone 4s stuck on logo loop? disconnect battery and do magic.

It works on my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2).... Thank you, sir!!!

Ive done every single thing stated above in this post on my iPhone 5. i can get it to restore and it will be fully function able till about 45 seconds in then the whole screen freezes up and i restart the whole process again. i have done this around 5 times with the occasional "blue screen of death".. if anyone out there has any help, i would be grateful.and my iphone 5 is not worth paying 169$ to Asurion to replace

Thank you this helped me fix my phone i greatly appreciate it

Restart your computer get a Ethernet cable and connect it to your computer and turn off your wifi and try to restore again.

I almost had the same prob, my iphone 4 had frozen and i had spent two days wondering what to do! An idea came to my mind that i should search for help on apple website! When i read this i did as recommended by stevejobsfan0123,in response to alcia160 and it immediately worked. I am so grateful to this assistance!

A similar things happened to my i phone, it was running slowly and kept freezing so i turned my phone off and back on again but when I tired it back on again the screen with the apple logo on it has just appeared and has been stuck on this for about and hour, I have tried holding the lock button and the home button at the same time and when it restarts it just goes back to the page with the apple logo and won't come off it.
