Iphone 4 IOS6 stuck in recover mode and won't restore?
I live in england, my iphone 4 button stopped working and voice control kept popping up out of nowhere. Then it wouldnt turn on and said plug into itunes, so i did and it went througgh the recovery and restore phase, but once it was done, it restarted my phone then came up with the same message all over again saying i needed to recover and restore it. I've done it 8 times now and it just keeps finnishing then showing the message again.
I can get the iphone on by doing the hold home and unlock button trick, but once its on the home button still does not work. And also everytime i plug it into itunes you can't do anything because it asks to recover and restore which evidently doesn't work.
I bought this phone off someone from work 2 months ago and has been working fine since then. This also means that ii can't take it back to the shop as i'm not the original owner of it. This means i could pay for it to be fixed but i have no money what so ever. I do not live near an apple shop and i really do not know how to fix this problem without paying with money i do not have.
You could try letting the battery run out until the phone is completely dead, then charge it fully and try again. Or do a battery pop, where you remove the battery while the phone is on, and replace it. I can't vouch for this method, but running the battery out has fixed a couple of issues for me!
- Upgrading from ios6 to ios6.1.3? I got ios 6 on my iphone, but when I try to upgrade to ios 6.1.3 using iTunes I keep getting a error message 3194, I don't want ios 7
- My iPhone's stuck in restore mode after jailbreak, how do I fix this? I jailbroke my phone a few months ago and it suddenly quit working. It says it's stuck in recover mode when I plug it in to itunes and when I try to restore it, it just fails when it's nearly complete.
- My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode & I don't want to restore! - 1 ITunes failed an update on my phone so it's in recovery mode. I have over 1000 pictures that I don't want to lose. I tried the redsn0w thing that's supposed to work but you have to put your phone in DFU mode which I can't do becouse MY HOME BUTTON DOESN'T WORK. What can I do?
- My iphone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes won't recognize it? They don't recognize it neither in recovery mode and neither in DFU mode. Is there a way to ''hard reset'' or reboot it without itunes? This happened while i was trying to install ios 8 GM.
