1) Disconnect your iPhone and turn it off by holding the Sleep/Wake button for about five seconds and then sliding the red slider. 2) press and hold the Home button and plug your iPhone into PC with iTunes installed. Keep holding the Home button until you see a dock cable pointing to the iTunes icon. If you have older iPhone will display a yellow triangle and text which says Please Connect to iTunes. Once you see this image, you can release the Home button. 3)Open iTunes and you will get the message iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Click OK and you will be taken to the iPhone pane. Click Restore or restore using DFU (Direct Firmware Upgrade) mode 1)plug in your iPhone and turn it off. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for about 15 seconds. 2)You will see for short time the silver Apple logo and then your phone will appear to turn back off. 3)Release the Sleep/Wake button and continue to hold the Home button until you see a message in iTunes stating detected an iPhone in recovery mode. 4)Choose Restore and hope will fix the problem.

Other then trying to restore in Recovery mode (iTunes logo) and DFU mode (black screen) I also recommend re-downloading the iOS Firmware. Delete the iOS firmware from the following location Windows XP: C:Documents and SettingsyournameApplication DataApple ComputeriTunesiPhone Software Updates Windows Vista/7: C:UsersyournameAppDataRoamingApple ComputeriTunesiPhone Software Updates Mac: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates If you try to restore your device now the iOS firmware should be downloaded again.
