iPhone 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s random reboot fix

[i7pi]

thanks

[Muhallil17]

wow! it really works!! my Iphone now can be use normally! thanks! :D

[ihatework2]

Thanks you've just fixed my phone! :)

[mkoo33]

Oh boy, you need the entire day just to say a few words :) Hold down the home button, which is this one here, right this one here, look at it ... LOOL. Anyone to get here knows what is the home button and where to find it.

I guess you just like to hear yourself talking :P

[slvrhwks]

@mkoo33 HAHAHAHAHA!! You would be surprised as to how many people do not know what the home button is. They know how the button works, but not the name. It is always better to show people what you are talking about instead of thinking they know what you are talking about.

Any good reviewer / self help video maker know it is always good to "Pete and Repeat" several times to let the info sink in. :-P

[mkoo33]

@slvrhwks

To me, somehow i find it offensive. Right from the start being treated as a potential retard :) But, if you do this kind of things for a living.. i guess you know better.

Peace !

[slvrhwks]

@mkoo33 How do you think I got so many hits on the video? Simple terms and repeating info.

I am a support tech for a company. I do this kinda stuff for a living. :)

[snowflakelord]

ive had my iphone 4 for like one year now and it only happened about 4-5 times. but it happened twice today. does it get worse? im planning on buying a 4s soon

[slvrhwks]

@snowflakelord I only had the issue once. However, I started to have Sim Card issues and ended up replacing mine because the sim errors kept happening. On the way to replace it the phone actually died completely on me.

I suspect you may continue having issues as it could be hardware at this point, but that's just my opinion.

[slvrhwks]

@TrackManiaTrials then I suspect the hardware is faulty. Was it purchased 3rd hand or from Apple?

[TrackManiaTrials]

Ok, I did it with cfw snowbreeze, but it still reboot after 1-3 minutes ;(

[TrackManiaTrials]

Im getting 1600, 1601 and 1604 errors, please help :(

[gengpan]

thank you for your video dude, but it did not fix my iphone4s. I booked an appointment with apple store hoping they are able to replace me a intact one. finger crossing.

[RingDingPranks]

This method has stopped my iPhone 3GS from continuously restarting! Just one question though ... how long will this last? I just bought a second hand iPhone 3GS and this issue arose pretty quickly ... the company are willing to replace the iPhone with another but if this method has worked already will it last forever or does ANYBODY have experience of this reoccurring and iPhone has began to restart randomly again? I will sub to the first successful helper!

[gengpan]

any one found this work on their iPhone 4s?

[pilotman123321]

my phoen turns off befor i can get into the mode

[foxghost04]

Thanks i will be looking forward for some answers because i have 2 3gs and both have same issue anyway thanks and hope someone will fix it one day

[foxghost04]

Hi! Im not sure you are still reading this messages but i have same problem but phone works fine without sim card i replays it with new one crap one more time. Do uou thing it will help anyway? Or issue is bigger. Btw if you didnt bought iphone in apple shop they not gonna help you, so maybe there is someone that can talk with them and mayby he not gonna hear REPLACE PHONE thanks for help looking forward for answer

[slvrhwks]

@foxghost04 if the iPhone is crashing when the sim card is installed and you have the same result with a replacement sim card then there is definitely something wrong with the internal components of the phone or how the iOS is attempting to read the card.

I do not believe that running the fix in the video will help.

[slvrhwks]

@foxghost04 Also, I purchased my phone from Apple online and was able to get it replaced without issue when I started having other problems. No questions asked. They should help you even if you did not get it from them. As long as you have a valid warranty they have to honor it. Otherwise they will charge you for their services if outside the warranty period.

[slvrhwks]

@foxghost04 I am sorry if you dont like my answer but I truly believe the is something wrong with your iPhone.

[hkane10]

i got error -1

[slvrhwks]

@hkane10 please see my comments to @MrBladeTeam concerning the -1phone error.

[GameSlayerAl42]

I have a problem win I am on it ..it turns off and reset what should I do

[slvrhwks]

@GameSlayerAl42 I assume you have watched the video. If you are still having issues after doing as suggested then I recommend getting the phone replaced.

[GameSlayerAl42]

@slvrhwks nvm i just had to reset the phone setting every thing and know it works

[umahs7]

hi,

thanks alot. i was struggling with this restarting problem. you helped me.!! thanks again!

UHS

[slvrhwks]

@MrBladeTeam not sure of you got my message as youtube may have blocked it. The -1 error occurs when one uses the "last ditch" method for preventing baseband updates on the iPhone 4. The baseband does not get updated using this method. Ypu can use TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery mode if the phone is jailbroke.

[slvrhwks]

@MrBladeTeam is the phone crashing (rebooting), the restore crashing (giving error), or iTunes crashing (giving error, then closing)?

[MrBladeTeam]

@slvrhwks Hello, thanks for the response. :) The restore crashes and itunes gives me the error message (-1).

[slvrhwks]

@Tim3zSquar the DFU mode does not affect your Cellphones bill plan. It only restores the phone to factory settings then allows you to restore the software that you had installed from a backup. You will not be charged money when you do this.

[slvrhwks]

@samartz The Restore option in iTunes does not redowload the phones firmware. It only restores from a previous backup of current settings and installed apps. The DFU is a full factory reset that forces iTunes to download the latest firmware for the phone and install it, then it will ask if you want to load software from a backup (if available).

[MrBladeTeam]

hi my iphone 3gs radomly restarts like you said. When i do everything on your vid, on itunes when the phone is almost fully restored it crashes and it says error -1. Help me please :(

[samartz]

so why cant I just press RESTORE in itunes???

[Tim3zSquar]

My phone is iphone3gs on ios5 and it's doing exactly what your explaining but if you reset all these things and it works perfectly or whatevr will the network be the same? Like say if I'm on a network with a plan of bill pay or anything will it still b ok when I do this? I'm just making sure!

[Tim3zSquar]

Thanks

[barbecuedcat]

GREAT VIDEO! ONLY GUY ON YOUTUBE THAT HELPD ME .. THOUGHT I'D BROKE MY IPHONE .. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[fanandascope]

will this get ride of my contacts/text messages/photos?

[slvrhwks]

@fanandascope Yes. I discuss this from minute 2:37 - to minute 3:15. This process with set the phone to factory defaults which will wipe everything off the phone. Make sure you have a current backup of your phone BEFORE proceeding otherwise it will default back to factory specs and you will not have a restore point to copy your personal data back to the phone.

[Nuttynanna01]

Thanks so much showed my brother this and his iPhone 3 gs is working perfect

[slvrhwks]

@SaintBlueC I mention the backup Incase the user doesn't want to loose what they currency have in the phone. Also, I didn't have any 3rd party apps on my phone at the time. Started happening while using the phone out of the box with native apps. I got this info from multiple sites.

[SaintBlueC]

!!!ATTENTION IMPORTANT NOTE**********ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRESS AND HOLD BOTH THE LOCK BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON UNTIL IT SAYS "slide to power off" CONTINUE TO HOLD DOWN BOTH UNTIL IT RESTARTS. You do not have to have it plug it in. You do not have to have a back up because it does not have to reset to factory settings to solve the problem... IN MANY CASES IT IS A BAD APP. DID YOU RECENTLY DOWNLOAD AN APP?? IF SO IT MAY BE THE CAUSE. DELETE AND REINSTALL THE APP AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

[24gothman]

Thanks my nigga

[johnNcupCaKES]

when i did this my phone completely turned off and it wont turn back on fml -.-

i did something wrong

[HuntingMatt123]

thanks very much this is the only thing that actually worked for my phone cheers

[Maseko66]

[slvrhwks]

@rinku26twinkle yes, these steps also work for iOS 5.

[rinku26twinkle]

[DontPettMyGoose]

I LOVE YOU!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH

[21thAcoustic]

THanks it work but what if you are having trouble with your ipod being read

[slvrhwks]

@21thAcoustic the PC cannit see it?

[mailove1000]

well my lock button is broken, so FML .

[slvrhwks]

@jedanjedini007 if you are unable to get into DFU mode per the video instructions then I suggest replacing the phone as there may be hardware issues related to your particular situation.

[jedanjedini007]

My iPhone is restarting all the time ... I can't put my iphone in DFU mode .. PLEASE HELP .. :/

[Energy12ful]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slvrhwks]

@redblur150 Yes the phone will be in a recoveryode that will completely reload the phone to factory defaults. As stated in the video, make sure to have a valid backup of your data BEFORE proceeding.

[redblur150]

if i do this will it deleted my pictures and stuff

[mexicodriver]

@redblur150 yes, everything will be deleted from the phone.

[israr43014]

i get iphone 4 new and it have the same prob its 4.3 can i do the same

[slvrhwks]

@israr43014 Yes. I made this video while my iPhone 4 was on iOS 4.3 or lower. This is a function built into all iPhones from the factory.

However, plese note that my iPhone 4 was brand new, pre-ordered unit when the iPhone 4 first came out. I eventually had to replace the unit because of other issues I had.

Hopefully yours will be ok after this first from my video.

[israr43014]

if it helps me i will like u r video 1000 times

[EnriqueL0C0]

slvrhwks can you email me on te-te-amoZ@hotmail stuck with this on my iphone 3gs. Can you help??

[slvrhwks]

@EnriqueL0C0 I only know what is on the forums. I am not an iPhone guru sorry. Tell me what your issue is an I attempt to find a solution for you. Thanks.

[zweisteinJ]

thnx a lot, i think you just saved me!

[slvrhwks]

@ForestEvilz I suggest getting it replaced then. My phone had lots of issues and it finally died on the way to the store to be replaced. Not sure if you jailbroke it but if you did you may have to pay full price to replace it :(

[ForestEvilz]

thanks buddy its work for me. but only in windows.(after do the steps in the video then shutdown the iphone around 2 hours and then turn it on )

[gta4fan1013]

hey ..i have the same problem..its stuck on the apple logo with a spining circle...is there anyway i can get all back ..i mean my iphone is jailbroken and its unlocked with tmobile ..if i restart it...is it still unlocked ?

[slvrhwks]

@gta4fan1013 I am finding different programs online that are for certain jailbroke OS versions

if on iOS 4.3.5 try using The Firmware Unbrella: thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.c­om

[mattygold99]

[aliciaaleman100]

DUDE U ROCK THIS HELP ME!:)

[voiceofutube]

I tried doing same as you said with my iPhone 4 because it was keep restarting after 3 minutes but iTunes showed this message at the end of downloading software.

(There was a problem downloading the software for iPhone "iPhone". The network connection timed out. Make sure network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.)

What does it mean???

[slvrhwks]

@voiceofutube Sorry for not replying sooner but my PC crashed and I had to replace some parts.

Where you able to look at any forums about the error/correct you issue yet?

[SouL3JuZ]

hey man,when the 1st day i get iphone,it happen this problem,every 3min keep auto restart,what should i do ? =( did the problem can fix it by myself?

[slvrhwks]

@SouL3JuZ I am not understanding the statement or the questions you are asking. Can you explain it better?

[SouL3JuZ]

god dam man you saved ma life

[unhappy98]

Hello i had Jailbreaked my iphone and i was gonna reset it on The iphone(3gs) And the apple mark is just showing all the time how shall i fix it?

[slvrhwks]

@unhappy98 I got this from another video on YouTube and have modified it slightly. It may help:

NOTE:Keep iTunes up.

NOTE: Hold the home button through all these steps

1. Unplug the iphone from the PC/Mac

2. Hold the HOME button for 3 seconds, then while holding HOME plug the iPhone back into the PC/Mac

NOTE: Do NOT let go of the HOME button

3. Hold LOCK AND home at the same time for about 35 seconds.

This should correct the problem.

[CoolDudeJahid]

@slvrhwks DUDE UR AWSOME I HAD THE PROBLEM AND I WAS WORRIED NOW ITS FIXED THANKS 

[supastauk]

hi i cant get out of recovery mode on my iphone 4,i jailbroke it with os4 redsnow,i wanted to to back and restore the phone to its original factory settings on itunes,now its not restoring it and keeps saying its in reocver mode error code 1013 can u help me thanks

[slvrhwks]

@supastauk Check out TheTechJournal website and look up the article titled: Fix iTunes Error 1013,1611 on iOS 4.2.1 iPhone 4,iPhone 3GS[How To Guide]

This may help you.

[MVDHee]

Hey, thanks for the nice explanation. But my iphone still randomly reboots all the time, I also get the error 29 message during the restore. Do you know how to fix this problem?

Thanks anyway, great vid ;).

[slvrhwks]

@MVDHee Read the reply I have to simonhead666 about error 29. It may help :). Also, sorry to hear that your iPhone is still rebooting itself. I started getting other issue with my iPhone and eventually had to replace it because the sim card error. On the way to replace it the phone actually died on me :) My replacement is working like a champ. You may want to do the same because of the reboots.

[MVDHee]

@slvrhwks Hey, thanks for the response.

I already read the reply to simonhead666, i found the forum and followed the steps. But my iphone is still not working, how do you mean replacement (did you buy an other phone)? I'm sorry but I'm dutch so understanding English sometimes is hard for me :(.

Thanks for your help!

:)

[slvrhwks]

@MVDHee I took my iPhone4 to an Apple Store and they replaced it because I was having many problems. I do not have a jailbroke phone and not sure if you do. If you do not have a jailbroke phone I believe that Apple can replace it for free if it is not damaged.

[ConfusieHughesie]

Thank you. You save my iPhonie 4. By the way you look like the guy from Malcolm in The Middle :D

[TNillz15]

@ConfusieHughesie haaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[simonhead666]

hey!! thanks for the video!!

I get an error 29 right before it ends.. I'm installing 4.0.1.. can you help get around this?

I'm running the restore on a mac

Thanks again!!

[slvrhwks]

@simonhead666 I can't post the links on here for some reason but look up the apple forum for Topic : error 29 iphone locked in recovery mode. JJLee has some info that might help. It involves authorizing a seconds PC to allow the phone to update. He was updating to an older OS on a 3Gs but the principle should be the same.

Hope that helps.

[musicmakerman101]

hey thanks for addressing this issue. i have iphone 3G and tried upgrading to OS 4. Backed up all data before hand. Now i am left with an expensive paperweight. After successfully installing OS 4, it fails as it tries to sync data or back up or watever. I have tried factory reset with it a few times. and its still not recovering my data. Found out apple wont allow going back to older stable 3.1.3 OS. got any suggestions for me? ive tried lots of online forums too. Cheers

[slvrhwks]

@musicmakerman101

Any specific error number cause I had that problem yesterday with iPhone 4 and had to uncheck the music sync, get error. Then recheck, get error. Disconnect, close iTunes, reopen. Then error went away.

[slvrhwks]

@musicmakerman101 Not sure if you got my post below but I am willing to try to help. I dont know much about the iphones but I google pretty good :)
