This might happen while you trying to JailBreak then something went wrong, and you end up with a iPhone which had nothing but Apple Logo in it. And you can’t do any thing with it. You can’t turn it off completely or restart or even no response while you connect it to PC/Mac and no response from iTune too.
Here I will explain solution to this problem and details about DFU and Recovery Mode.
Best solution will be, put your iPhone into DFU Mode(Device Firmware Update mode). Then restore firmware via iTune. Putting iPhone into DFU mode might be pain in ass, but it not so tough just follow the process few times if you can’t reach in DFU. Here to remember DFU mode and recovery mode is different. DFU is good for Firmware update.
Recovery Mode : Recovery Mode is a state of iBoot used during standard upgrades and restores. As iBoot is active, it does not allow you to downgrade your device’s software. Also, unless it is ‘pwned,’ it will not allow custom firmware to be flashed.
DFU Mode : DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot. The screen will appear totally black in DFU mode, so you can’t guess whether the device is in DFU or powered down from simply looking at the screen. Because iBoot and the OS are not loaded this exploit makes us able to downgrade your iPhone firmware or upgrade with a custom firmware created by Pwnage tool.
How to Put Your iPhone in DFU mode
1. Connect your iPhone via USB with PC.
2. Shut it down but keep connected.
3. Press Power Button for 2 sec.
4. Without releasing power button hold Home button too(use another hand may be) Keep both button pressed for 10sec(exactly).
5. Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
6. A few seconds later iTunes should detect your iPhone.
7. If the Restore Logo is present on the screen, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU.
Check This Video Tutorial
How to put your iPhone in recovery mode :
1. Turn the device completely off and disconnect it from cable/dock.
2. Hold down the home button.
3. While holding down the home button connect to a computer with a cable (easiest) or dock.
4. Keep holding down the home button until you see a connect-to-itunes screen You are now in recovery mode.
Doing both will solve create a oppurtunity to solve that iTune Logo stuck situation.

I purchased a refurbished iPhone 4 from AT&T but it didn’t work out of the box. I found your site and followed your guidance. It took a couple of attempts – I received a series of error messages in iTunes. However, each attempt seemed to bring me closer to full restore. Ultimately, it succeeded. Many thanks!

hello sir
I am restoring my i phone 3gs’s setting at that time it hang and showing only apple’s logo…. neither it restart nor it turn off please suggest me what to do?
I have tried to put the phone in recovery mode and dfu mode countless times. I can get it turned off and on and I can get it to the connect to iTunes screen. Each time I try to restore it on iTunes nothing comes up. It’s like the computer doesn’t know the phone is even plugged in. I have also tried using the red sn0w program I used to jailbreak the phone in order to restore the phone- it keeps saying that I didn’t put the phone into dfu mode, but I know that I did. I need some help on this one. I have been through countless forums and websites. I have tried SO many different options and nothing has worked. Please help me if you can. I am desperate and am getting ready to just call it quits. Thanks so much

i had a jailbroken 3g. i used blackra1n to unlock it before when i accidentally updated my iphone. just last week my battery was drained then when i charged it, it’s wasn’t charging and now stuck in apple logo. searched online and i was able to have the screen(connect to itunes logo appeared) recognized itunes when i press home button after connecting it to a usb which is connected to my mac. but i am afraid to restore since there might be versions that will prevent me from jailbreaking it again and they said blackra!n is no longer updated.
i don’t know the version of my iphone 3g
i don’t know what software to use to jailbreak it
will it require the original sim which i don’t have
and what’s o2?

thank you so much, i thought the phone was done for.
i’m getting mixed answers and was wondering if someone can say for sure if iphone4 4.1 or higher is unlockable or not
thanks again
My Iphone 3gs will not shut down. Everytime i connect it to my pc it just turns itself back on.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEEDED THIS I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND MORE $$ FOR ANOTHER PHONE.
THANK YOU A BILLION!
I jailbreaked my iphone4 and then by accident I clicked on up-date itunes which sent my phone into recovery.
I used Tiny Umbrella to get out of recovery and used redsnow to jailbreak my phone again. I got into Cydia and had to reboot. My phone then got stuck in reboot and went between recovery mode and reboot. I tried restoring my phone but now that says there’s been an error and it cant be restored. Is there any other way of getting it to work? Even using RecBoot doesnt get it out of recovery mode, it simply goes back to the connect to itunes screen.
I am right in thinking that Apple wont repair it cos I jailbroke it, right?
thank you a billion times..keep it up..up up up up..
thank you so much..keep up the good work and more power to you..i fix my iphone4 by myself..thank you a billion times..
now its asking for my password.. which I know but the phone hangs up as soon as it restarts… and I cant enter anything… stucked… any recommendations.. ??

i have updated my iphone with 4.1v once i bought it. then i tried to jailbreak it using blackra1n. it happened that my phone is hanged with usb&itunes logo. i tried to restart the phone, and the logo still remain. i reckoned that the latest version (which is 4.1) is hard to jailbreak. isn’t it? i don;’t know. now i’m still waiting for recovery mode downloaded in itunes to restore. hope somebody will help me by email at khairi.traswaja@gmail.com
I’m having a crisis here. I was updating my iphone 3g and thought it wasn’t going to take long but it took longer than I thought, which was stuck at the same place for about an hour. I had to leave so had to turn off the pc and took off the usb in the middle of updating. Now it is stuck on the apple logo with the loading thingy. It’s been like that for hours and the recovery mode is not working. What do I do? How do I get out of it? I tried using a different usb port but it still doesn’t work. Help!
thank you sooo much! you’re a lifesaver I was going to take it to the apple store! xxxxx a million thanks
thanks
thank, thank you very much, i appreciate people like you
