HT201210 my iphone 5 will not restore

my iphone 5 will not turn back on at all

Hey Jrivers87,
Thanks for the question - to me, it sounds like the issue started when you tried to restore, and now the iPhone is unresponsive? If that's the case, I'd take a look at this article which goes over a resolution:

Have a good one,

  • My iPhone will not restore. What do I do now?

    My iPhone will not restore, I have tried DFU mode, recovery mode and simply just on mode. iTunes will not finish restor, gives error 3194 right after extracting software. What do I do then?

    I have also done the editing host file thing, and it didn't work either.

  • My Iphone Will Not Restore, Please Help.

    Hello,
    I fell asleep while facetiming, I woke up and found that my iphone will not turn on, which is odd, since I was charging it. I then took it off my charger and then put it back on. The Iphone 4 then showed the Apple Insignia for about 10 seconds, then became a dark screen, then back to the insignia. It did this repeated flashing for a good ten minutes. I then took it off the charger and the phone stopped flashing and it became totally dead. I tried pressing the home button, and the top button, but there was no effect. I then plugged in my Iphone to the computer and put it into recovery mode. I tried to restore it, but it continually keeps getting an error (21). I tried it on a different computer, will not restore, but got a different error (I believe it was the error (1604)). I tried restoring it multiple times, I updated my Itunes to the latest version, I made sure my connection was well. I tried taking my Iphone off of recovery mode, but it did not work.
    I suspect that my problems are due to the fact that my Iphone will not stay on without being connected to a power source, and that is the reason for all the errors. I tried it on different USB ports and different computers. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please help me figure out what I should do next. I do not mind losing all my contacts, but I do mind if I have to spend money on a new phone, afterall, I barely even had this phone for a year.
    So Please, I am begging. Please help me and tell me why doesn't my phone stay on without being connected? Is it because I fell asleep while facetiming and because neither of us hung up it over-heated and killed the battery? Is there an easy way to fix this since I am technologically-impaired? Is there any hope for me and my Iphone's future?
    Any answer will be very much appreciated.
    Thank You.

    It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help  with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

  • HT201210 the iphone could not restored because the firmware file is not compatible

    this my qeustion ?
    the iphone could not restored because the firmware file is not compatible

    Generally a sign that the iPhone has been hacked or modified
    to work with other than the original wireless carrier or an attempt
    was made to return to a version of iOS earlier than the version
    currently installed on the iPhone.
    Google may provide some direction, but discussion of hacked

    Please help

    i also had this problem with my iPhone, i put it in the dock, iTunes came up on my MacBook, then the iPhone restarted a white screen came up for about 25 seconds then an Apple came up, then the connect to iTunes logo appeared, I was puzzled as to why this had happened since i'm extremely careful & certainly would not ever jailbreak it, because its against Apple's EULA. So i click restore expecting everything to work, then I get something like "iTunes cannot connect to the iPhone "iPhone" an unknown error accrued error 21. Then i put it in DUF mode, the screen went white again, looked like the firmware was installing then that failed & now its displaying error 2001, what shall I do

  • My iPhone will not restore or update in iTunes.

    I have tried everything to restore my iPhone and update it but it still will not work, I get the same error "the iphone could not be restored. the device isn't eligible for the requested build." I have tried this with 2 seperate iPhone 4's and the I get the same error. I am sure its nothing to do with the handsets and something to do with iTunes but any help on the matter would be much appreciated.

  • Iphone will not restore Error 21

    Here is a little background to this problem. I had an original iPhone that the Wi-Fi quit working on this past week. The phone was 2 1/2 months out of warranty and Apple would not, or could not do anything to help me other than sell me a new 3G. I just purchased the 3G tonight (16g black) and they activated it at the store for me. I made a phone call on the way home and all is good.
    I get home and was going to check to make sure the Wi-Fi on the phone worked when all of the sudden the screen goes to the Apple logo and then starts freaking out. A lot of text flies across the screen saying something about a PANIC and Darwin Kernel. I read online all sorts of issues about this, before I finally come across how to start the phone in recovery mode. I finally get it started in recovery mode and hook it up to my PowerBook G4. I click RESTORE and it gives me this message:
    The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error ocurred (21).
    I literally had this phone for 1 hour! My original iPhone was a Christmas gift from my wife and it bothered me that it was no longer working, but then to have this happen immediately is sad. Can anyone help? Does anyone have any information about this error or how I can get my phone restored, or should I just take what appears to be a lemon back to the Apple Store?

    i also had this problem with my iPhone, i put it in the dock, iTunes came up on my MacBook, then the iPhone restarted a white screen came up for about 25 seconds then an Apple came up, then the connect to iTunes logo appeared, I was puzzled as to why this had happened since i'm extremely careful & certainly would not ever jailbreak it, because its against Apple's EULA.

  • IPhone will not restore and is stuck on low battery screen?

    I let my iPhone 3g's battery run flat a few days ago by accident, since then I have not been able to get the phone to recognize it is being charged. I plugged it into my mac and put it in DFU mode (i think), but my iTunes popped up with 'Unknown error, this iPhone can not be restored'. Now when ever I try to get it into DFU or restart it nothing happens except the red flashing no battery sign shows?
    Can someone please help?

    my iphone 4 will not come out of recover mode

    Hi arthur183.
    You can exit recovery mode by doing following steps:
    1. Hold down home and power button for about 15 secons, this shuts off the phone.
    2. Then press the power button to turn the device on again.
