Have you tried the remove and reinstall battery trick? Give that a try if not already done. Your cell service provider/dealer may need to do a hard reset.. Don't ask them while it's still dripping. :)- kidding

SOURCE: iphone wont turn on at all help

Have you tried a hard reset? If this doesn't work, have you tried plugging the phone into iTunes to see if you can do a full restore?

Hard reset:

  1. Press the home button (the big circle below the screen) and the sleep wake button (the button on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
  2. Hold both buttons simultaneously for a few seconds, Ignore the "Slide to power off" and keep holding
  3. The iPhone should now shutdown automatically - (fade to black)
  4. Turn the iPhone back on by hitting the sleep/wake button.
  5. You should now see the Apple logo, your iPhone is restarting and thus booting up.

SOURCE: Got unlocked iphone, tried to restore factory

Hi,
Here u can follow the steps

Step 1: Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of iTunes if you haven’t already. Download iTunes 8.2 from the link given below.
Step 2: Now connect your iPhone with your PC. You must connect it to a single usb port on the backside of your computer. Do not use any usb hub or the ports in the front as this could cause an error during update process.
Step 3: Start iTunes 8.2. Sync your iPhone with your PC so that iTunes backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.
Step 4: You will now have to download a custom cooked firmware for your iPhone version (2G or 3G). I can’t post the download links for these files for the reasons you all know very well. Just Google “iPhone 2G Custom 3.0” (If you are using iPhone 2G) or “iPhone 3G Custom 3.0” (If you are using iPhone 3G) and use one of the torrent links to download the custom created .ipsw file.
Step 5: Once you have downloaded the required .ipsw file, Copy/Paste it into this location:
“C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\” (Windows 7)
“C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\” (Windows Vista)
“C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Update\” (Windows XP)
Step 6: Restart iTunes. You will now be prompted to install this firmware you just download. Just close this prompt dialog by clicking on “x” from the top right-most corner of the window.

Step 7: Now you will have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 3.0 that you just downloaded. Click on your phone from the sidebar in iTunes to get to this screen as shown in the screenshot below:
capture2_thumb.png
Now press and hold left “Shift” button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update) button in the iTunes and then release the “Shift” button.
2e_thumb.png
This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your downloaded custom firmware 3.0. Select the downloaded .ipsw file and click on “Open”.
Step 8: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps some of which are highlighted below:
asd.pngafasf.pngggg.png
Don’t do anything silly at this point. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 3.0 on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, iPhone will restart automatically and you should now have a fully unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 2G. iPhone 3G on the hand will only be jailbroken, not unlocked. iPhone 3G users will have to wait for Dev-Team to release ultrasn0w on Cydia in order to unlock their phones.
Step 9: Once you are done with the unlocking and jailbreak process. You can now restore all your settings, apps, music, contacts and photos to the newly installed firmware version 3.0 by restoring the backup that you made in Step 3 from iTunes.

Feel free to ask me any question here should you run into any problem during the update process.

SOURCE: iPhone stuck on Startup logo

Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time. Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.

Resetting the iPhone should not remove or delete any data or settings.

How do I unlock iPhone 5c without passcode

Hello Lawrence Gray,

I'm delighted to say (I LOVE good security)...

According to Apple Corporation's last POSITION to the
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT... You don't.

No way (there actually is a way but it involves some serious hardware intrusion... (highly skilled & sacrificing the phone
(certainly a costly bit of programming & an additional capital investment... well beyond the price of your phone))...!!

The US government took most of a year to do it... they probably couldn't pour "liquid" out of a boot... if the directions were on the heel (programmatically speaking (opinion))...

However... they got there (allegedly).

Probably not what you had in mind.

Take it back to the owner...

Else: Your option is to get the phone RESTORE as NEW
(RE-Sync).

Then you can rebuild the data from the BACK-UP
you created in the PAST... (like iCloud)

Else: SET is aside until we master time travel...
So you can do that SYNC you always wanted... as for me I'll be selling yahoo (before the crash (I'm just saying)).

My Iphone touch screen is not responding. It wont slide to unlock, its not responding to any touc at all. How can i fix it

Hi,

Firstly it could be just a software issue with the phone but if you've had your phone less that a year then more than likely your still in your hardware warranty and to save you some time then try the below steps first, then if that doesn't work ring apple who, if your still in your warranty, will fix the phone for free for you, although if your out of your warranty and restoring it doesn't work best bets is either paying apple to fix it approx £150 or a dodgy stall...

Hope this helps!

To restore as new:-

Make sure you have the latest version of itunes on your comp & power up comp & itunes

-power off your phone
-hold down the home button (around 6secs) then insert USB cable while still holding button then release button when cable plugged in
-itunes will then bring up message saying that the phone has been detected in recovery mode
- it will then give you choice to restore your iphone
-continue with this choice & restore your phone as a new iphone, this will wipe everything from the phone, theres a link below to help with restore if you get stuck
