iPhone 3GS stuck on Apple Logo incl Loading Circle

Dataw0rm · January 15, 2015

Hi guys, first of all ; the pics im using are from google so some will be better then others... Im sorry for that

My iphone 3gs is stuck with this logo:

The famous apple logo incl the loading circle... Ive tried so many things, too much to mention (pwnd DFU mode , itunes , recovery mode etc etc etc) nothing works... itunes doesnt recognize the device

it stays at this screen....OR it starts from:

And goes back to the Apple logo incl the loading circle...

BUT maybe you guys have tips and tricks, or else im gonna get my screwdriver to open this baby up.

Was it Jailbroken or something? Does it have charge and how long has it been turned off for?

Pop that back off your iPhone and experiment with it if you don't need it.

I dont need it, this was an experiment device

it was jailbroken with lots of firmwares and was turned off for months now...

It hops from the apple logo incl loading circle to the apple logo only and back again...

Then im gonna open her up Nice and gently ofc.

Found a great tut tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAibzqx0Cfo

If it's been dead for months it probably needs a good charge and maybe some cleaning up the hardware? Removing moist?

I was gonna say DFU but then I actually read the topic.

Good luck

Its probably Bricked bro, meaning its useless, or you can do 1 more thing i dealt it will work, but worth a try! Hold down the 'Power' Button and the 'Home' button and the 'Volume' Button.
