Why won't my iphone 5 reset to factory settings? - 1

My iPhone is jail broken and I tried to sync it with my laptop and it kept coming up USB not recognised. So I went to the settings on the phone and tried to reset it through there so now all its doing is spinning like the phone is turning off! Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Plug your phone into iTunes. Hold down the power and the home button at the same time.

once the screen goes off, wait 5 seconds, then release the POWER button, BUT KEEP HOLDING the HOME button. This will force your phone into DFU mode, and will allow iTunes to recognize and force restore the iPhone.

Please help me restore my iPhone 5 every time i try to plug it into iTunes it says iPhone must be restored so i try to restore it and then it prompts me unable to restore iPhone any solution in this matter would be greatly appreciated

  • Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…

  • What will happen if I reset my iPhone to factory settings? And how do I do it? I just got iOS7 but I have to say, I'm very disappointed with the outcome. If I reset it to "factory settings" will it go back. Also if I do that will it delete everything on my iPhone. Actually, scratch that.iOS7 already deleted EVERYTHING. I very much dislike this. How do I go back?
  • What settings will it change if I press reset all settings on my iPhone? Also, will this help speed up my iPhone because that's what I've heard. Because my iPhone has been so slow lately and taking like 3-5 minutes to send 1 text. If you know of any other ways that could help speed that up please also let me know that.
