My iPod crashed 3 weeks ago it died and every time I would put it on the charger it would turn on and go through the iPod starting screen and the shut off (the iPod is a touch 16g 3rd gen jailbroken) My mom hooked it up to her lab top and messed with iTunes for 45 minutes and then it finally let my mom restore it to the original settings without cydia and it added the newest version (that next day iTunes released the new version) when I got the iPod on it had game center and it ran more smoothl

However, whatever the problem was that triggered the frozenness sure took a lot of my battery juice out of my iphone.....from 75%, the battery is now at 20%. But either way I'm definitely saving this video for future references! Thanks!

[arythecloser]

i have an iphone 3g 16gig and its at the plug-in to itunes screen but my macbook or my itunes does not recognize it. I have already put itunes in trash, then restart, then empty trash, then restart again, then plug in iphone, and then open up itunes and still neither recognize it. What can i do?

[windshear33]

This does not work on my iphone, it got dropped. I can not move any sliders even after doing as you have done. many restart vids tell me to slide the red turn off slider. I can not do this. I have tried connecting to itunes to resolve the freeze too, nothing happening there either.

[atozisallright]

my phone got frozen, but in a different way the apple logo is not showing, it just wont let me do anything even the power button isnt working nothing it shows the home screen but wont let me unlock it, i get phone calls but wont let me answer it. any idea?

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

@noname40983 Sounds like digitizer disconnected.

If you want to attempt to open it and try to reconnect. It's the wire numbered 1 I think. YouTube it.

[SuperRobby246]

@DATBOIPatGMAIL How does the digitizer get disconnected?

[kraft283]

@noname40983 hey,i got the same prob..i cant unlock it,cant slide the slider "slide to unlock"...so have u had it fixed?how do i go about it?pls help me out.thnx

[1stnupe05]

[MichellePhannn]

@trippihippie154

Ya Apple deactivated the leaked iPhone so they couldnt turn it on

Most of you people viewing this vid simply can't acquire the iPhone 4g, it's just going to cost so much

Lucky for you I learned on the Apple website yesterday they are giving away a few thousand iPhone 4gs. If your lazy, this will take you to Apples contest webpage ... just copy and paste

way｡com/iphone4gfree26

And the code they ask for at the end is FACEBOOK11002

[pckls83]

man thanks that worked perfect i was getting pissed

[Pavelkovinru]

dude mine is like froze, but when i hold those button in, itunes pops up and asks to restore, so i click restore...and it loads but it gives me error in middle of updating...... my god :( still havent fixed it :(((

[TheHeihachi]

mine is kinda frozen, really solid, i had it on for 20 hours and still frozen. it happened when i was moving an iphone app, not a third party one. It crashed and got stuck in the reboot loop. Think this work? have downloaded, i think over 100 apps since last sync. it sucks to restore.

[mariof27s]

@TheHeihachi hey did u fix ur iphone mine is doin the samething

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

@bollinger1000 sorry it coulent help.

[slimjohnify]

my iphone freezed at the main screen at first then all the apps disappered leaving only the time and the service provider on the top of screen visible what to do? please get back at me....thank you

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

@slimjohnify no clue dude, sounds like u need to restore.

[mrstweety1983]

[chrisv23]

Thanks dude. You saved me. lol

[to0on]

thank you !!

[southpointchrysler]

@thechannel35. There is no such thing as an apple killswitch. There would be no such thing as jailbreaking if there was one.

[coltengangwer]

bro i tried re booting it, restoring it, dfu mode, recoverymode everything and my shit just shows the apple then blinks white and shows the apple agin

[PSPHelp1800]

@coltengangwer

hold the home button before you turn it on

[bishop6998]

hey thanx for your work i am always thankful for anyone who takes the time to help others , that said i would asked if you would be kind enough do redo your video with a tad more light i can be helpful for us dunces to really get the idea and see how you are physically doing your magic ... big thanx !!!

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

lol all good.

[TheChannel35]

@DATBOIPatGMAIL If the Apple Kill switch is off apple can't Mess with your Ipod/Iphone while connected to Wifi. It's Impossible for them to even touch it if that's Off. They Can Kill your Ipod Apps If they were Illegally Downloaded. Like me i used to have Installious. Then I Had it on they Fucked up my ipod for having that. They Killed all my apps untill i restored or Upgraded. That's what a Bricked Ipod is. It's Completely Dead To use. It's trash. Untill you Do some THings to it to fix it.

[TheChannel35]

@DATBOIPatGMAIL Like the screen wont work the Buttons won't Do anything Nothing happens

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

you are so welcome. :)

[colapse]

lol... mine just bricked after i did the jailbreak to 3.1.2 software.... its over =\

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

you might have a newer iphone...

newer iphone come with a chip that puts phone into restore mode if you jailbreak, and you reboot phone. its called a tether jailbreak. sucks.

[MrHippi28]

dude you saved my F*** life i love you :)

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

glad i could help

[Creed3737]

If this doesn't work and your phone won't even start and just crashes after the apple logo do this ,

Plug your iPhone into pc and fire up iTunes

Turn on phone, then keep both buttons pressed, don't let go

It will restart a few times then come up with the iTunes logo and Itunes will say it's found a phone in restore mode

Restore a software image using iTunes

Hope that helps

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

that is one way... but then you can loose a lot of stuff you didnt save...

[TheChannel35]

Make sure you have the Apple Kill switch off.

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

how if your bricked? lol

[peipi1300]

DAMN! your a fuckin genious..forreal.. i was on stuck mode wondering how the fuck to fix ma fone and you helped me out dog..thanks..

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

[Mikebyrne000]

Mine took about 6 attempts

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

[etskimo]

[smartnut007]

this is retarded. Why did i watch this stupid video to get the simple detail thats on the apple support website. its like the second thing listed there.

This does not even talk about how to restore.

This does not solve any of my problems.

[randalln]

this method works quite well for unbricking it, if you have other problems then u need to look else where.

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

I love reading directions and descriptions...

Dont you?

[azn61whyteboy]

[albiner]

[acesmartkiddonald]

nvm, I tried holding the restart button, and it brought that little loading circular thing over my music, and continued to do nothing, then I connected it to itunes, and it just turned off, went to the screen that yours was stuck on, stayed there for about 1 minute, and started again :D thanks anyway =)

[leonardpermana]

bro, i think i froze my iPhone 2G when i decided to restart from settings... never come back to live since...

ive tried ur way, but still didnt work... maybe i done it wrong.

the last step, when you put the music on, what exactly u did?

pressing both button together? or?

ive tried pressing both for 6 seconds, again again again and again... but still it froze....

can u help me?

many thanx

[mounttgrace]

let it die...or restore it..

if it doesnt work then tell me i'll help u

[deividish]

could you give more details or show the iphone entirely so we can see your hands and how long are you holding the buttons. So I would repeat it along

Thanks !
