Hi I am Ashik. I think i can help you------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Do you have iTunes installed on your computer ?
yes
Hi,Since it is locked and if you don't know the password, you must restore it. Once the restoration is completed, you can re-sync it.Connect your iPhone and open Itunes. Press the restore button under Summary Tab. This should restore your iPhone and you can use it again (you may need to resync it). If it didn't worked then you need to restore your iPhone's Firmware through DFU Mode(Device Firmware Update)
I have tried to connect the iphone to my pc, but it isn't being seen by itunes. the phone has the apple logo on the screen but won't go any farther??
Ok..then you can enter the phone into DFU Mode and then restore it.
when I push the power button it doesn't turn off. sometimes the apple log dissapears for a half second then comes back
First leave the phone for 5 minutes...then hold down the power key. Once the apple icon dissappears, immediately release the power key. It should turn off.You have to be very patient ! (Keep trying till it turn off)(only click Accept after it worked)
i haven't tried hold the button until the apple goes away. i have held it for several seconds & nothing happens. approx how long do i need to hold the power button down?
You have to hold down the power button until it automatically turns off.(only click Accept after it worked)
ok, held it until the apple icon dissapeared & then released. it immediately came back
Hi,Keep trying until it turns off...Or hold downboth the home button and power button, when the apple icon appears relase the power key but keep holding down the home button. Keep trying till you get the iPhone's screen like the image below.
I held down the power & home until the apple logo disappeared then released the power button & held the home until the above image appeared. now what?
To make sure, does the same image appeared on your iPhone ?
If so, then open iTunes and connect your iPhone. Wait for it to tell you that your iPhone is in restore mode. (or recovery mode). Then restore your iPhone by clicking Restore button under Summary Tab. (only click Accept after it worked)
I finally got it back working but now it's locked to ATT - again??? do you have any way to unlock it for use with other companies. it is not a 3g, but an older 8G version
