This may not fix it if you "jail broke"it:::

Download the latest iTunes to your computer and reset the iPhone. Then re-sync it.

Reset


To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red "power off" slider may appear and the screen may go black, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

If iPhone won't turn on, or the display freezes or doesn't respond

  1. Press and hold the Home button for at least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
  2. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a 10 seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
  3. If that doesn't work, reset iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears


More resets:

Try This:
1. Remove Sim Card
2. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until Apple logo appears
3. Replace Sim Card
4. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until normal phone screen appears.


Also, Try this:
1.) Shut down the iPhone 3G.
2.) Start up iTunes
3.) Hold down HOME button on the iPhone 3G
4.) While keeping the HOME button depressed, plug in the Sync cable
5.) A message will pop up to ask if you want to reset.
6.) Just click YES and the reset process should start.

My zpad wont turn back on its like it crashed

You can try a "factory reset" by holding the power button and the volume up button down simultaneously until a ZTE screen appears. Then use the volume down button to select the recovery option. Then you can highlight wipe data/factory reset. Then press the power button. This will wipe your phone and return it to the condition of fresh out of the box. OR, you can try to restart the phone by pressing down the volume and the home buttons simultaneously. If that works, it pops up a boot menu which you can use to restart the phone.

My iphone screen wont work but the buttons will

Try restarting your device by holding down the Power button. If your screen still fails to respond, back up your data to iTunes on a computer. While still connected to the computer, turn off your device by holding the Power button, and the Home button. Don't release either button yet. When the Apple logo appears, let go of the Power button, but not the Home button. Then your iPhone should show a picture of connecting to iTunes. Then you can set up your device through your computer on iTunes, and your phone should work fine.

My iphone wont restore error 1611 apears when trying to restore it

Try restoring from DFU mode. To enter DFU, shut down the phone and connect it to the computer. Then hold the power button for 3 seconds. Without releasing the power button, hold down the home button for 10 seconds. Then release the power button but keep holding home until iTunes recognizes the device in recovery mode. If you did it right, the screen should be black. Then just click restore. This should help, but if it also doesn't work you may have a hardware issue. In that case, you should take it in to Apple for repairs. Good luck!

My iphone wont turn on, I have tried to hold the on/off button and the home button at the same time, doing this for 20 seconds nothing still happens. The phone hasnt been dropped or water damaged in any...

Holding the buttons doesn't restart the phone it puts it in dfu mode so it can be restored or programmed. Hold home and power together for 6 secs. then release power until itunes sees the phone then you can restore.
