Plug it into iTunes and then press and hold both buttons for what will seem like ages and iTunes will eventually cone up saying it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Then simply restore it.
 
hi

ok,pushed aslong as i could,the apple sign is on the screen,nothing still,the sign is thereand the star sign freezes. just dont do anything.thank youfor helping by the wayany other ideas????

the star sign does move for a second then freezes.then the phone does nothing,five minutes andthe phone trys again
 
Put the iPhone in DFU mode (google it) and connect to iTunes. You need to restore the software.
 
thank god the shop opened today,i spoke tothe guy who sold me the phone and found out the system has crashed.thats why my phone was not updating.so i went to him and he has it working again for me.will not be doing that again.
