Alright so here's the thing, I've looked into this quite a bit and just can't seem to fix my iPhone 3. What happens is it only boots up to the apple logo and nothing more.
I've tried going into recovery or dfu mode but it just doesn't do it. It just won't do anything at all... :(
Anyone here maybe know something about this? :(
Does iTunes recognize it? If so, you can use iTunes to factory restore the iPhone.
Nothing comes up on my PC.
Sorry for being so late with my response. Haven't been online too long in a while. :(
I connect it and nothing ever happens. I'm able to boot up to the apple logo and that's it so I'm assuming there's still a slight chance of restoring it right?
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Few things to try though, start it as you normally do but before it reboots - hold down the power button + home button until it reboots itself.
If that doesn't work, try following these instructions to put your iPhone into DFU mode: http://m.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If none of that makes it possible to restore your iPhone, you probably have a hardware issue in which case you could take it to an Apple Store for guidance.
Yeah I'm with Tut. It sounds like hardware. Apple store will probably be your only solution from the sounds of it if the reset doesn't work.
