iphone won't turn on past apple logo, can't restore. HELP

For me (iPhone 4) it worked to just disconnect the battery and then connect it again. Now everything works just as before. No need to replace the battery!!

hi guys

my iphone 5c boots to apple logo, stays there for 10 - 15 seconds then turns off. same on battery or on charge.

it doesn't get detected by windows at all. itool, redsn0w etc can't detect it.

cant get into DFU mode coz if just does the above.

does the same if i hold the home button from being off and plug the usb cable in.

any ideas please?

Yeah me too, and people tell you to go to DFU mode and use itunes to reformat and the problem is my computer is ******** and itunes didnt work and once i fixed it, it led to another problem and kept leading to more problems and eventually i got so mad and gave up

Thank you! I've been messing with a working iPhone 4s on and off for over 12 hours because it just showed the 'connect to iTunes' screen after I first attempted to restore it to factory defaults. Every time after that the extraction process would take forever and the phone wouldn't be found by the time it got done. I was beginning to worry that it might be bricked after reading some of the comments here. All I did was simply..

Unplug phone > close iTunes > turn off Avast and Zone Alarm > load iTunes > plug in phone

Now it's restoring perfectly. Thanks!

Hi guys,

So I have been without my iPhone 5S for about 17 hours and it's really starting to frustrate me.

This is what happened... I was listening to music thru my phone doing whatever I'm supposed to be doing and I decided I wanted to check Twitter, once i did, my phone started freezing up here and there. I thought, okay maybe I should just restart. Once I restarted, I found it strange that it brought me back to my lock screen right away when usually during restart, it takes quite a while. So I logged in and saw that Snapchat and Picsart were the apps trying to update. As I paused picsart's updating, my phone seemed faster like it wasn't freezing. i decided that maybe I should just delete these apps, so as I tried to delete picsart, it wouldn't leave my dashboard, I kept trying and trying to delete it but it kept asking me if I was sure if I wanted to delete it. After a while it froze up again and I thought... okay one more restart, as I restarted, it right away took me to the lock screen again and once i put in my touch ID, it froze and didn't want to take me into my phone at all. I must remind you, (Since all i have been reading in this forum about battery problems) my phone was at 97% and was charging during all this happenings (I did unplug it after the last retry of restarting).It froze and I thought, okay, I'll just turn it off, so after freezing it wouldn't let me into my phone but it let me turn off my phone, and so I slid it into off. I waited for about 2-3 minutes knowing that turning on your iPhone should take a while, and after 10 mins, it still wouldn't go past the white Apple logo. No flashing involved, just Apple logo as if you are waiting for it to restart. I tried restart again and turned it on and it was there for 30+ mins.

I've read forums saying to put it into DFU Mode, but I can't trust myself and I don't want to mess it up even more than it already is at this point. I'm not sure if i should go to my local T-Mobile or to schedule an appointment for the Apple Store, can someone please let me know what's going on?! thank you! &&& sorry this is so so so late and at the end of this thread

Thank you so much. I've been ignoring software updates for a while now and I guess this is why my phone was acting weird. My mom and sister, both still have the same problem and I can't wait to fix theirs! Thanks again.

Awesome just spent 2 hours trying to restore, when I read further down this post and realized that when I replaced my screen I had knocked the battery connection off and must not of reconnected it correctly... 10 minutes later job done

Honestly, this is now happening to me and I'm livid. I officially HATE Apple now. You guys need to get your crap together or lose all your customers. You've already lost me as one so see ya!

I need help

You need to post what you've already tried. There's a lot already discussed in this trread.

I have same issue on 5s but goes to recovery and gets stuck at password any help would be very appreciated

I replaced my battery and it did the same cycle. Is there another issue it could be? I’m thinking maybe it the board where it plugs in maybe. I really don’t know.
