FEBRUARY Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If it won't boot at all, then I'd go to the nearest Apple store and have them take a look at it. If you can't go there, go to your service provider's store and see if they can do anything about it. This happened to my dad, turns out it was a defective unit. This was an iPhone 4S though.

Linoleum Knive Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Follow these steps and see what happens. http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/08/iphone-recovery-mode/ Only follow the steps to get into recovery mode, and then once you’re in recovery mode, you can restore the iPhone firmware, if that is the problem.

Lateralus Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ever actually trying a manual reset of the device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--------- Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Hmm. Never heard that before! First I would try exacly what TeenRacer6 has suggested and then if that doesn't work I would ring Apple Support. They will help you from there. Check if your warranty is still active at https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do Did you recently upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 or are you still on iOS 5.0?
