HT201263 iTunes Recovery for iPhone 4s did not work

What do I do if I used iTunes to restore the device, waited an hour, and it still didn't work?
iPhone 4s
Not jailbroken
Paraphrased error message... "there was an error when restoring device, unable to restore"
Apple icon still blinking intermittently
Here's what I've done prior to subjecting to a recovery...
1) Plugged in iPhone with iTunes open, got the recovery pop-up
2) Attempted multiple times to avert the recovery by holding menu button and power button >10secs
3) When the apple icon reappeared continued holding the menu button, releasing the power button, until the itune logo and usb cable showed
4) released menu button. reapplied hard reboot, apple icon reappeared and began blinking
5) Repeated too many times
6) iTunes restore
7) Typed this email
Any help is appreciative!

Yes, I believe the steps did Restore my device as new. I followed the steps given to me in How to Restore software in my device..still I believe the Unlocking did not work because I'm not able to use other SIM card

    Take it to an Apple store for diagnosis. I assume you have a receipt that says you purchased an unlocked phone.
    Valid, but sadly, this is immediately impossible.

    Isn't there a more immediate option?

  • I bought an Iphone that did not work and return it and no one can answer me as to what happen once it was received by Verizon

    On March 14th I bought an iPhone the wi-fi did not work, I called Verizon support after hrs and days they could not help.(I purchase it on-line from Verizon.com) So I went to the local Verizon store was there for about 2 hrs and finally they said to come back the next day and they would have an answer which I did and they didn't they said to call Verizon to return the phone.  When I called they said to just use the label that was enclosed. I asked if I needed anything else they said no that my tracking number on the label was all I needed.  Well after many calls the last one lasting 90 minutes and the person telling me that she would fill out some form and send it to the return section and call me back.  She never called back.  I have the tracking info that it was deliver to them yet I not received a replacement phone nor a refund.  Can anyone help me?  What should I do now? Can't call the I just tried and again they start with let me transfer to this other section (no answer).  I am so frustrated I hate Verizon Customer Service or lack of -

        I'm so sorry about this experience Appleby. I can certainly assist you in getting this cleared up. I sent you a Direct Message.
    Thank you,

  • HT201328 Unlocking my iPhone 4s did not work after I did the Restore in my device. Need Help

    I received an email confirmation from my carrier that my request to have my iPhone 4s to be unlocked has been sent to Apple and completed, and I followed the instruction given to me for Restoring my device but  still not able to use other SIM card. I was advice that I will be able to get the unlock info from Apple when I do the Restore, I'm still getting the error message "SIM card is invalid...." when I replaced the SIM card that came from my carrier with another. Please help. I need to know what am I missing. Appreciate any help.

  • Mic on headphones for iPhone 4 will not work. What could possibly be wrong?

    Mic for headphones (iphone4) will not work. When I use voice control, the lines are up and down (almost like there is some type of noise) even though I am not speaking into it. Speakers are working, whether it's from music or using the phone. I've tried turning the phone on/off and it still does not work. Not sure what else to do. I just recently bought these headphones approx 4-5 months ago.

    There are three types of 3.5 mm headphone jacks - TS, TRS, and TRRS. Tip, Ring, Sleeve.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
    Currently the two parts closest to the cord (2nd Ring and Sleeve) are used for the microphone. Some vendors use the sleeve for the mic, and some use the ring.
    Could be the problem.

  • Will apple replace phone for iphone 5 camera not working if older than 12 months.

    Iphone 5 main camera not working on iphone 5. Many folks comment on apple replacing phone.  Mine is older than 12 months.  Will they still replace phone?

    No. You can get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone. A an out if warranty replacement will be cheaper than buying a new one.

  • IPhone Block did NOT work...

    Posting this for a friend...  iPhone 4...  I checked her settings on her contact and it was correct - no typos, but her crazy ex boyfriend's email got through today.  Is there another Setting that needs to be changed?  While she's on an iPhone, her computer is PC - don't think that matters.....  Thanking you in advance.

    Sorry. Don't know what you're talking about. Contact blocking does not block e-mail. Only calls and messages.

  • Adobe Videobite for iPhone 5 does not work

    Hi,
    I have been using Adobe Videobite for the last few months and I like the app very much. I use it often for cherishing sweet memories of many families who are my friends and relatives.
    For the last couple of days, I am able to create the video but unable to save to camera roll. When I try to save, the page shows as disabled and gets hanged. I will have to remove the task to enter into the app again. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling the same. Still I am unable to create a video now.
    Please help. I wanted to save my video files like before. Thanks.

    Suggestion... cancel your contract and go to AT&T. Sounds like you might be happier there, especially if you are going to blame Verizon for something that Apple decided on (the inability to do voice and text at the same time).If you had a replacement pending at the time you requested the worry-free return, then I can see them denying it until you got the replacement phone and they got the return or you paid the full cost amount of the phone. Other than the known warts of a new phone version (both design and OS) that are well published I've had nary a problem with either the 32GB one I originally got on release date or the 64GB one that I replaced it with.  Personally for me it's going to be a keeper (and I'm a Android guy from the get go).
    Not trying to be a smart (deleted content to comply with VZW ToS), but unluckily some folks just have bad luck.  It was hard to tell in your rambling statement what the iPhone 4 signals were compared to the iPhone 5 (are you in a 3G only area or are you in an LTE area).  It almost sounds like you are on a fringe signal area with that short of talk time, which would pull the battery down as it searches for signal incessantly if you don't have one or just a marginal one.

  • Security Update for MVC KB2972107 did not work

    After installing the security update KB2972107 I expect MVC 3.0.0.1 assembly and publisher policy to be in the GAC.  They are not.  I uninstalled the update and reinstalled it.  No effect.  Any help?

    Hello,
    I read the following webpage:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2972107
    I saw that this Update seems update only the System.dll file. I'm not sure why this MVC 3.0.0.1 assembly should be in GAC.
    Since the forum is only about .NET Framework installation related issues, please consult on Windows Update forum instead of here:

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • TS1538 Followed troubleshooting for iPhone not found in devices iTunes and that did not work...  Now what?

    Followed troubleshooting for "iPhone not found in devices" iTunes and that did not work...  Now what?

    That's what I tried. The 6 steps and I do not have security software on my phone. iTunes on my Mac is still giving me the warning that I need to download the latest version on my phone, and is not recognizing it in devices, which is the irony because that's what I need to actually update it
