HT1414 how to restore iPhone 4 without downloading iOS update

How to restore iPhone 4 without downloading iOS 7.6 update?

If Find My Phone is turned on, login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate the phone, then erase it. This will remove the passcode without having to restore the phone.
If you can't do that, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode, & restore it.

  • How to restore iphone without installing ios 8

    hi,
    my sister wasnt using her iphone for a month (i dont know why), yesterday she charged it and guess what? it has been locked for 44 years (it says try after 23.480.302 minutes later), i tried to restore the iphone but it will install ios 8, i dont want to install it because iphone 4s has 8gb storage and available space is 5.98gb but ios 8 needs 5.5 gb to be installed that is why i dont want to install ios 8.
    how can i restore iphone 4s to ios 7.1.2 ?
    help me please.
    thanks in advance.

    I'm actually having the exact same problem. I switched from 4s to 6, and I bought all new ringtones. Then the update happened, and I had to use the link to restore my ringtones. Now, I lost my favorite ringtone for some reason, and I can't restore it. It's in my library, but not on my phone. And I have to buy it again, apparently.I just don't want to buy it again, only to lose it again, you know?

    how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.
    Cheers, Rob

  • How to restore iPhone 5c to iOS 7.1.2

    My iPhone 5c is pure trouble since downloading iOS 8.0.1 and the fixes in 8.0.2.  Can someone please walk me through a restore to 7.1.2?

    My screen freezes when replying to emails, but the worst is that it is sending my text or e-mail replies to a different recipient. Yesterday it even sent a text reply as an email reply to a different recipient!
    For example, I get a text from A.  Then I get a text from B; I hit the reply button to B's text and type in and send my reply to B. It goes to A. This has happened several times.
    Yesterday, person D sends me an e-mail that I read but does not require a reply.  A few minutes later person E sends a me a text message that does require a reply but guess what? it ends up being sent to D as an e-mail reply.  What in the world is going on here?
    I never had anything like this happen till after the last iOS update.
    I read on line that I could restore iOS 7.1.2.

  • HT1414 how to restore iphone to retrieve contacts

    How do you restore iphone 3gs to retrieve contacts after unlocking iphone

    I assume you have an iTunes backup.
    Restore from a backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • How to restore iphone without updating software

    how do i get my iphone 3 to restore without updating to ios 4.1.2 i have tried unchecking "check for software updates automatically" but it still won't just restore what else should i try?

    You can't.  Part of the restore process involves updating the iOS.
    The only reason why you wouldn't want to update your iOS is because your phone is jailbroken.  Jailbroken phones cannot be discussed on this forum.

  • HELP!  Who knows how to restore iPhone without losing information?

    I don't want to reset my phone back to the factory settings. Is there anyone who has info on how to do this?

    What exactly are you trying to do or accomplish? When you restore, it will erase everything. There is no getting around that. If you back the unit up first in iTunes, you can do a restore, and then select your backup when prompt, and it should restore all your apps and settings back to normal.
