Any help would be appreciated. Please though, don't tell me to put the phone into DFU mode and restore or any other obvious answer, I've already tried all the normal routes to recovery. Thanks!
Every time I attempt it, I get a negative audio tone from my PC and the phone is not recognized by iTunes, redsn0w, or any other utility, though the screen is blank. I have a suspicion that the battery in this phone is toast or maybe the connection to the logic board is bad.Does anyone out there have experience dealing with an iPhone 4 with a completely dead battery?
I can put the phone into recovery mode while connected to my computer but the phone cannot be restored. During the restore process, the phone will try to reboot and get stuck in the endless apple cycle. I have managed to put the phone into DFU mode a few times and attempted to restore with stock ipsw and also with pwned DFU mode and custom firmware. It seems that the phone no longer will go into DFU mode.
When plugged into the wall, the phone will boot to the lock screen with the "connect to iTunes logo." When disconnected from power the phone will immediately shut off and is non-responsive. When plugged into my computer's USB port the phone will show the apple logo for 10 sec or so then reboot, incessantly.
i fuken LOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE YYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU and im a guy make it homo if you want nigga thank u so much nigga i want to sick your dick i work my ass off risking jail and get expelled from school just for this ipod to find out i was stupid enough to fuk it up I ♥♥♥
i reallly need help it still says error 21 and when i try to put it in dfu mode it goes to apple sign for a few seconds then goes back to the plug in you ipod to the computer
HEY GUYZ IT WORKS JUST FINE... BUT U HAVE TO SHIFT AND RESTORE THE IOS THT U ALREADY DOWNLOADED... U R AWESOME MAN BUT PLZ NEXT TIME CONTINUE THE STEPS..
You don't have to delete it. just cut it out from there and then paste it on your desktop. This way you can move it back to where it was to avoid facing problems with your other applications which need the host file to function.
THANKS MAN! you are like A FREAKING IPHONE JESUS CHRIST SAVIOR! I SUBBED LIKE AND COMMEMT! THANKS MAN THANKS, BEST tutorial ever! its simple, not many steps and most of all WORKS!!!
mine doesnt work its vbecause its stuck on a recovery loop and i keep trying to restore but it keeps doing that ad my ipod touch is 4th gen and in 5.0.1
if this doesnt work, hold the power button and home button until the phone turns off (while plugged into the computer with itunes open), release the power button, and keep holding the home button until itunes tells you the phone is in recovery mode even know the screen is black. This puts it in DFU mode, you can release the home button at this point. Itunes will generally then do a proper restore with no interruptions, then it will restart and you will be in business :)
Great reviews on this fix.. I'm trying to find the file to delete on my MAC, I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.. Driving me nuts.... I'm getting ERROR 21 .. Thanks for your help.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkk! He was right. I deleted the host file like he said, restarted iTunes, and my phone was restored when I chose it. Give it up for xDarkMaverickx. Man knows the deal. Thank you so much for this. I searched and by chance noticed your video. Thank you thank you thank you.
