How to restore an iphone 3g?
Please help
my brother in law was kind enough to give me an iphone 3G as my phone is broke, only problem is he said it needs rebooting because its in shock mode? How do i do that?
the phone won't turn on all i have is a blank screen, i plugged a charger in and it said on my itunes page to enter a passcode but i can't as its a blank screen, i have my own itunes account for my ipod so will it recognise this iphone as its registered in my bro's name?
the battery is fine as far as i'm aware i just want to restore it to factory settings and treat it as new, how with a blank screen? Any help will be appreciated
theirs a switch on the side of the phone when i switch it it vibrates? Good or bad? I'm new to the iphone world
You should be able to see it pop up on iTunes. When in iTunes go to the 'Devices' tab on the left hand side, a screen will appear showing your phone, then under the sub screen 'Version' there should be a 'restore' button, click that! See how you go.
You can also restore your iPhone by recovery mode press power and home botton till it show like connect your device to itune and connect to iTunes, it say restore than click restore.
- 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?
- 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.
- If I restore my iPhone will it restore other devices using the same apple ID? My mum using the same apple ID as me an is worried that if I restore my phone then it will delete all of her photos and stuff to. Our phones are kind of linked through the ID but that's all.
- If I restore my iPhone I'll have to get iOS 8.4 I don't want it. But I need to restore my iphone? Okay if I restore my iPhone I'll get iOS 8.4 which I do not want. So if I restore it and iOS 8.4 is now on my phone, will I be able to downgrade to iOS 8.3? But I need accurate answers. Because if I don't this and I can't downgrade then it'll suck!
