IPhone Jailbreak Restore Problems?
I have a jailbroken iPhone 4S, running 5.1.1 software, but I wish to un-jailbreak the iPhone. Fistly, iTunes isn't recognizing my phone at all, and isn't showing up under devices. Second, when I put my phone into DFU mode and try to restore, iTunes says that it couldn't restore, because it couldn't recognize my device. I really want my iPhone to be restored to factory settings, but I don't know how.
You must of done something wrong… You can try updating to iOS 6 and then restore from an ispw with iTunes by clicking and holding shift the check for update button and selecting a downloaded iOS 5.1.1.ispw you can download on the internet.
You should also update your iTunes to the latest version iTunes 10.7 and making sure your device is connected properly or you have to do a custom firmware with redsn0w, then use iTunes to restore it.
Just make sure you're device says Connect to iTunes instead of DFU Mode.
- 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 4S jailbreak/restore? If i jailbreak my iphone 4s (which causes the warranty to become voided), will the warranty still be void if i unjailbreak it by restoring my iphone? I prefer answers from those who have tried this, but anyone may answer my question.
- IPhone 4S Jailbreak Problems? I recently jailbroke my iPhone 4S with firmware version 5.1.1. The jailbreak was doing well for about 2 days. I went to Cydia to download another tweak and when I went to respring, it locked on the black screen/activity circle. It stayed that way until the battery died and when i rebooted. It was fine. It seems to only lock up when i have to respring straight from Cydia. Anyone have any solutions?
- 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.
