My iPhone 5C won't restore

I was trying to sync my iPhone 5C with iTunes on my computer and it told me I needed to restore my iPhone and put it in recovery mode.So, I did. It started "Extracting software" and it fully completed that step. My iPhone then displayed a screen with an apple and a loading bar. The loading bar would show up for a couple minutes, but would not fill up at all before it would disappear. When that screen would disappear, my iTunes would display this message "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4013)." And my iPhone would go back to the recovery. I tried shutting off my phone and unplugging it and tried restoring it again and all of that happened again. I now can't turn on my phone because every time I try it takes me back to the recovery screen. Now that I have to restore it and it won't work, I'm panicking. I don't know what to do to fix this! My iTunes and my iPhone are both up-to-date. Please please please help me!

After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
1. Restart your computer.
2. Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
3. Use a different USB cable.
4. Uninstall third-party security software.
5. Try restoring using an alternate computer.

If none of the steps are working for you, you might have to kick it out of recovery mode. Get a program like iREB. After you get iREB, do the following steps:
1. Open iREB.
2. Click on Recovery Mode Loop Fixer / SHSH Blobs Grabber
3. Click on Set Auto-Boot True (Fixes 1015 Errors / Recovery Loops).
4. Wait a few seconds for it to do its thing. It will restore the boot-args to the device, save the device's environment, then reboot it. You should then see the Lock screen when it boots up.

If that won't work, go to the Apple Store and explain your situation to them.

Hope I helped!

  • When you restore an iphone from itunes backup does it restore messages? I need to restore my iPhone 4S in iTunes, will I lose my messages or will it leave the messages from my most recent back up?

  • IPhone 3GS won't fully turn on, stays on Apple logo, won't restore? Earlier today i was simply using twitter on my iphone when it crashed. This has happened before and it usually goes back to the apple logo and turns back on. But this time the screen remained black. I pressed the lock button and the logo appeared, only to have it turn off again, and then back on to the logo. This has been repeating now for hours. I tried restoring it in both Recovery Mode and DFU Mode and it didn't work in either. Anyone have any idea what i could try at this point?
  • If you disabled FindMyiPhone to restore your device, will the app be enabled again after the restore? A few weeks ago I upgraded to the iPhone SE and I restored the data from my iPhone 4s onto it. (I had to disable FindMyiPhone in the process). Little did I know that it would be lost/stolen 2 weeks later. Really need to know if FindMyiPhone would be enabled because I want to know if I still have any hope at all finding it. Thanks. I tried the app already… Says it's offline. Been waiting since.
