iphone shut down while Erasing All Content and Settings

[seaofcrap]

I chose to Erase All Content and Settings from my iPhone via Settings ->General -> Reset. While it was doing so, my iPhone shut down and has not been turning on since. It goes to the Apple logo and shuts down. What should I try before going to the Apple Store?

Did you plug it in. if the battery dies, it will continue when you plug the phone in

Hey thanks. I plugged it into a plug but it still won't turn on. And when I connect it to my Mac, my Mac doesn't recognize it because the iPhone won't turn on. I made an appointment at the genius tomorrow night. Thanks again!

Here's what you do:

1. Make sure the phone is off.
2. Plug it into a computer.
3. Hold down the Home button + the Sleep button
4. When the apple logo pops up, count to 5, then release the Sleep button, but keep the Home button pressed down.
5. Wait another 5-8 seconds and release the Home button.
6. Now a USB Dock cable picture should pop up then just restore the iPhone.

Same exact thing happened to my 3G last night.

Great! I'll try that out when I get home.

When you say plug it in do you mean in the wall or on my macbook?

Sorry, plug it into a computer. It doesn't necessarily need to be plugged into anything, but you'll have to connect it to your computer to restore anyway.
