My application hangs. Pressing the home button doesn't return to the springboard anymore. Additionally pressing the power button for 10 seconds doesn't turn the iphone off at all.
Is there any way to force a shutdown?

A:
To force shutdown the iPhone 3G, just press down the power button first, followed by the home button. Hold the 2 buttons down until your screen changes.
That's it... A simple, but undocumented solution. Oh well. So far my iPhone has crashed in a few ways and this worked all the time.

If your application reproducibly hangs the phone, please file a bug report at bugreport.apple.com and attach a copy of your application. This is something Apple would be very interested in debugging. Thanks!

A:
1 - To 'Force Quit' an iPhone application, hold down the Home button for up to 5 seconds.
2 - To force a reset (in rare occassions when 1 does not work), hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 10 seconds.
(this is documented in a Apple Support article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430)

My iPhone hanged during boot when it tried to reset & erase all the iphoe contents.
Following are the steps to get your iPhone booting in Recovery Mode: Step 1: Before getting the iphone in recovery mode, Open iTunes on your MAC or PC & attach the cable to iPhone. Step 2: Hold down the Power & Home buttom simultaneously until the screen changes (around 10 secs.). Step 3: Release the Power Button and keep pressing the Home Button for at least 30 secs.
Folow the instructions on your iTunes to restore the firmware of iPhone.
Hope, that this solution works for all who had problems like me. Thankfully my problem is Solved.
