Have I fried my iPhone 4?

    I was updating the software for my iPhone this evening and really ****ed it up.

    I'm not the most tech literate and it was taking ages and I was doing something else at the time, so I was just glancing at the laptop every few minutes and hitting prompts as they came up.

    What I THINK I did is hit ok to restart the laptop to install the software on it, after the iPhone itself had started updating.

    Once it restarted the laptop isn't recognising the iPhone, either in My Computer or in iTunes and the phone screen has gone black with a silver apple logo and an empty progress bar underneath. Completely frozen, won't even switch off for me.

    The only thing I could make sense of from the Help function was uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, which I did, but it didn't change anything.

    Has anyone seen this before? I really really really don't have time to go to the Apple Store or Vodafone this week.

    Thanks.

    Put the phone into DFU mode as in the link above. Update the software as normal.

    Just hope that you didn't interrupt it while it was flashing bb... else it's just a very expensive iPod from now on!

    You probably didn't tho, as the progress bar is empty.
