Iphone stuck on boot screen

[GREG84]

I was using my Iphone and outta no where it restarted, and it stayed on the boot screen.I have tried holding the sleep+home for 25 sec etc and nothing ...while searching online i found out how to make it go into DFU Mode so i can do a full restore with Itunes but while I was half way on the restore it gave me a error and now my Itunes or laptop doesn't even recognize it now ( it doesn't even make the sound of new hardware).

my iphone is a 3g is on 3.1.2 tho. anyway I can fix this?


or Am i just completely f***** lol?

thanks for the help

Why does this happen to everyone!?? Gosh take care of your iphone. Don't download anything stupid that you know will ruin your iphone. I've never had this problem because I never download useless cydia/mobile subtrate add ons stuff.

Symptoms

When you are trying to update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes, the update or restore process may stop, and you may see an alert message in iTunes. You may also see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your device:

The alert message in iTunes may also include one of the following numbers (but is not limited to): 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, -18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 28, 29, -48, -50, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1608, 1609, 1611, 1612, 1639, 2009, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 9807, -9808, 9844, 4026xxxxx.

I checked the Iphone update logs and it shows this one [2312:f28]: iTunes: Restore error 1601

Got it to work

I have the same problem.

My iPhone 3g is stuck on recovery mode.

If i try to enter DFU doesn't work (back to recovery mode when restart).

My PC is not detecting the device (even restarting the USB ports and monitoring the connections. Is 100% invisible to the PC/Win7. Not a driver problem)... So i can't use any software to recover the system.

And is charging by the USB
