iPhone stuck at boot!

**Dragg1e** · 08-13-2007 06:32 PM

I really hope someone can help me.
Yes I've did a few research but couldnt get far. I've googled around and searched this forum and found similar problems but their solutions didnt help me.

My problem:
My iPhone gets stuck at boot. For some stupid reason I decided to reboot my iPhone (Hold Sleep/Wake key + Home button for 10 seconds) and after that it stuck with the apple logo.
When I boot it again it turns off. When I Press the wake key it turns on and again stuck/freezes with the Apple logo. Nothing happens.
When I plug into to the wall outlet it turns on but again with the Apple logo.
I can't do a system restore cuz iTunes doesnt detect it. Even when I turn t on, iTunes still doesnt detect it.

I really hope for some possible solutins.
Thanks in advance!!!

I have the same problem you had.

Could you please describe detaily how you make your iBrick back to the iPhone?

I did exactly like Moshi said. The first time it failed. While restoring I received an error on iTunes. But afterwards I tried again and it succeeded perfectly.

this also happened to me and i couldn't restore at all using itunes on my computer (macPro)
Buuut... i gave it a try on the Laptop (MacBook Pro) and it worked perfectly from the first try.

Both have Itunes 7.3.2 installed, so i really don't know what's causing these errors.

iActivator seems to be still pretty buggy...

I think one of the most useful tools we could use would be one that would a restore the iPhone without itunes. Something that would allow us to backup the iPhone to a "disk image" and restore it at any time to that state. (like restoring from dmg with diskutils in OSX)
