What you are looking to do is to place the phone into what is known as DFU mode. Try this video to help you out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpinyGlQ8I. If that fails then the chipset may be burned out and you'll probably need a replacement.

Iphone disable connect itunes

It's a common issue. You can follow below steps to fix it.

Before trying to fix the iTunes error with some methods, you need to be sure you have the newest version of iTunes on the computer. Sometimes just updating to the newest version of iTunes is enough to resolve all syncing problems, particularly if the desktop software hasn't been updated in a while. You can always download the newest version of iTunes directly from Apple. After updating to the newest version of iTunes, if you find that your iPhone still won't sync with iTunes, you can follow the tips below to fix the error.
1. You can simply quit out of iTunes, then relaunch the app, and try syncing again. Sometimes this is enough to get your iTunes working again.
2. If syncing fails, the Sync button is greyed out and not available at all, or if you try to sync and nothing transfers over to the iPhone, iPod, or iPad, you may simply need to authorize the computer with iTunes.
3. You can also try restarting your phone by holding down the home button and power button.
4. Sometimes just restarting a Mac or PC is enough to resolve the problem and get things syncing again.
5. Typically use Wi-Fi Syncing? Try using a USB cable instead. Usually use a USB cable? Try using Wi-Fi syncing instead to see if that works.
6. If you find wireless sync to suddenly stop working, you typically just have to toggle the feature on and off again to get it functioning again.
7. Sometimes USB ports go bad, and though it's pretty rare it's very easy to rule out. All you need to do is switch the USB cable from one port to another and see if it works.
8. Reset and restore the iPhone. This should be your last option. You will lose all the data on your device. You will be resetting your phone to factory settings and start as if its a new phone. Only advantage is that you have iCloud backup.

Iphone problem

Try pressing down the off button and the menu button on the iphone at the same time to reset the iphone. If itunes keeps freezing try uninstalling itunes completely, then go to the apple website and download the newest version of itunes. if that still gives you trouble try not to upgrade itunes while iphone is plugged in.

Can install new firmwire

1. Download Winrar here, its a freeware, this will help you open the file

2. Download the firmware here, the newest one is 4.13

3. Unzip the firmware file and select "extract to" using winrar, just extract it to the "desktop"

4. After the 2 files are extracted from the folder, select both of them, right-click and select "cut"

5. Now, go to "My Computer", double-click "P2" (that's the MP4 player) and double-click "internal storage", now, in this directory, "Paste" the 2 files you "cut" earlier, once the files have been successfully pasted (look at your PC screen and MP4 player and make sure nothing is transferring), exit the window, unplug the MP4 player and power it on, the player will be updating and turning of a few times, but once its of, turn it back on until the whole process is finished.
