    hi guys
    I developed a problem where my phone would be stuck on the apple logo and looked around and I did the method which everyone was suggesting (press lock and home till phone turns off hold home and plug into usb and wait till itunes logo comes up and on the computer it says recovery mode and then do a restore)
    I did all this and it worked until it came to the backup it won't load any of my back ups and if you say set up as new iphone that dosn't get rid of the apple logo!
    Ive tried it over and over again but to no avail
    please help!
    Thank you

    Did you Jailbreak the phone? If not and its still under warranty I would return it to Apple.

    Nope hasn't been jailbroken I think although I did buy it second hand! But he didn't say anything about it being jailbroken.
    I'm going to take it to the apple store and see what they say

    It's pretty obvious if you are jailbroken

    It's possible that your back-ups are corrupted. Just restore it and set it up as a new phone. If that doesn't work then take it to Apple. If they can't fix it they'll replace it. If it's out of warranty then you may be able to get an out of warranty replacement for $199 or something like that.

    One time when I jailbroke my phone, it locked up on me like that. I was able to connect it in iTunes, and when it went to reload the data, it gave me an error. There is settings in the iphone that tells it to look at iphone servers? or a certain file location to update/restore. When you jailbreak the phone with certain jailbreak software, it changes this information, blocking an update. You have to find certain software, to access your phone files and then change that setting to have your phone look to either apple servers or something like that to make it accept upgrade/restore commands from iTunes. I forget the software, it is free, and I will try to research and post name of software needed. That is probably the problem because until I did that, I could not restore my iphone.

    Update - Tiny umbrella, there is a setting that allows you to change some file setting from either cydia or some other file like that, to apple's servers, I don't remember how to do it, but google using tiny umbrella to fix bricked phone, and im sure you will figure it out.

    Ok, open TU (tinyumbrella) and make sure under 'advanced' you deselect 'set hosts to cydia on exit', apply, then exit.

    then try to restore, this should fix it. :apple:

    ok thanks will bring it to a store soon it was second hand so don't know if its out of warranty. How long is it normally? its a 3gs by the way.
    Also I know its not jailbroken so I don't think it has anything to do with that.
    thanks for your help though

    A normal warranty is 1 year. With AppleCare+, it goes to 2 years
