IOS 4.2.1 GM won't finish installing (Stuck in DFU)

I downloaded the latest 4.2.1 GM from the dev center. Running iTunes 10.1 (54). It just gets stuck every time. TinyUmbrella wont kick the phone out of DFU. I also tried modifying the host file.
Nothing works. I've had this issue before and sometimes it revolved around what iTunes version I was running.
Please help. I have a brick right now.

Best to ask in the developer forums. They would definitely be more familiar with unreleased products.

  • Ipod touch 4g won't finish installing a few apps

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation, 64gb -- works great except I recently downloaded/installed a few apps (through the app store on the device)... Most of them installed just fine... But I still have a few that won't finish installing... The status bar looks like its at or very near 100%. They just won't finish...
    I have tried turning the wifi off and back on.
    I've tried logging out of app store and back in (on the device).
    I have tried syncing with my computer. I've also looked for updates through itunes (on my computer) and performed a backup successfully.
    None of those things have fixed my problem.
    I can play games, access the internet, use other apps, heck even move the unfinished installed apps around on the screen. They just won't finish installing nor are they deletable.
    I won't reboot my ipod because in the past when I have had this it put the ipod into a endless boot loop (brick mode) and need to restore to get out of it.
    Suggestions? Thanks!

  • Ios 7 to 7.0.2 battery failure / won't finish install

    I'm stuck.  After first installing the initial iOS 7 upgrade, my battery meter showed 100 or 98 percent ALL THE TIME even after a long day.  Suddenly, for several days, it showed 2%.  It never seemed to enter shutdown mode due to low juice so I figured it was an iOS 7 problem.  Last night on Amtrak from NYC to DC I found a wib site that told about the 7.0.2 release, and another iPHone 4s user said that had 'fixed' or stabilized his battery problems.  Cool, I thought.  SO...I got home, and over wi-fi started the update.  IT went all the way through to downloading and beginning the install, but then crapped out-  it was plugged in the whole time to power.  It seems to have seen the battery low indicator and isn't recognizing that it is plugged in to wall power.
    Now it's stuck mid-update.
    Any suggestions, oh wise and learned ones?

    Hi!
    I am having the same issue.
    I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to the new iOS 7 and since then my battery indicator is stucked at 44%. Now regardless how much I charge or how much I use, it is showing the same battery level.
    Although this get refreshed when I restart the iPhone and it shows the current battery level and then again stucks at the same percentage. This was working fine on iOS 6.1.3, but is showing issues after the upgrade.
    I have tried to restore it, reset settings by selecting Erase All Content and Settings, hard reset (power+home button for 10 sec) but still no good, it shows the same level of battery percentage at which it is since last reboot.
    Although I was having iOS 6.1.3 ispw so I downgraded it again as Apple was signing iOS 6.1.3 at that time. Now the battery percentage is working fine. Therefore its not a hardware issue for sure and is just some bug with iOS 7.
    Now I have again upgraded to iOS 7.0.3, and I am facing the same issue again. And now I can't even downgrade to iOS 6.1.3.
    If you get some tips on how to solve this, then please share the same.

  • Elements 10 won't finish installing. it says installing required shared technologies and wont go any

    I tried installing elements 10 last night and part way through it just kept saying installing required shared technologies and stayed on that and won't go any farther. I've tried uninstalling it and starting over but it won't let me do that either. It says I need to finish installing what was already started. I'm very frustrated. I'm a photographer and I need to get this problem fixed so I can finish my work. Can you advise me to do anything to fix this?

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Won't Finish Installing

    I have had Elements 12 running previously on my machine. I have just upgraded the hard drive and am in the process of reinstalling. My version is an upgrade to V11. This installed correctly and is running. Whenever I try to install V12 it gets right to the end and install an icon on the desktop and then just runs. I have left it for 3 hours and it still won't finish the installation. Any help please?
    Thanks

    Try installing from a different source by using the link below for the free trial. After installation you can validate the product with your serial number. Some users find this download method more intuitive than the Akamai method or using a DVD. After you click the download button, you start by downloading/updating the Adobe Download Assistant. Then select the PSE12 product and start download and installation.

  • 3.0 Won't Finish. Stuck in iTunes Store Error (-4)

    Are they crashed or what? My 2g phone won't finish up and have the emergency phone only on the screen. I try again but, no luck. Anyone Else???

    I got that error also. Due to the extreme amount of people downloading we seem to all get stuck.
    I kept docking and undocking my phone until it snuck in during a space in the 'line' of people downloading.
    My phone is running great now

  • Won't finish install

    I tried to install the upgrade but it apparently never finished the install. When I open Firefox, I get a blank white screen with no menues or toolbars. It won't let me uninstall Firefox because it says it needs to reboot to finish the install. But I have rebooted several times and it won't finish the install. I get the same thing if I try to install the upgrade again.

    racingjourno,
    SpyCatcher has been linked to this problem. Even though you may not have SpyCatcher installed now, if any of its files are left behind you will experience the problem. If SpyCatcher is installed, shutting it off first is not enough. You may find this user's experience helpful.

  • Reset to factory, won't finish installing windows updates

    My computer has been running really slow, so I decided to reset the computer to factory. After resetting I went to find updates to reinstall, and it says it has updates that need to finish installing by restarting my computer. However I've restarted my computer numerous times and yet it hasn't bothered to install my updates (keeps saying I need to restart it still). What do I do?

    For Dlblady, there's a question for you:
    Are you having slow connection to download iOS 6.1.3?
    If fast, try download again.
    In future still the same, try iTunes to download update instead.
    1. Connect to your Mac or PC to iTunes.
    2. Click iPhone/iPod/iPad.
    3. Click Check for Updates.
    4. Click Download and Update.
    5. Wait until finish.

  • After update to iOS 7.1, iPhone 4 won't work. Stuck in recovery mode. Won't restore.

    Hello,
    So I'm pretty baffled at this point. Last night I started downloading the iOS 7.1 update as my iPhone 4 was plugged into iTunes. The update did not complete on my phone. Instead, the dreaded "Connect to iTunes" logo appeared. After researching last night and again this morning, I have not found a solution.
    When I plug my phone into iTunes, this message appears: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then, I have the option to restore iPhone.
    So, having come to terms that I will lose all data - luckily my photos and videos have all been uploaded to my computer - I began restoring it. As it's downloading, this message then appears:
    I've read through the "More Information" page several times. Checked my host file, added the "# " in front of the gs.apple.com IP address, restarted the computer, and still no luck. I haven't tried updating or restoring on another computer yet, but I have a feeling that won't change anything - I've read other people's accounts and that step just didn't work.
    I updated my iTunes to the lastest version and restarted. Nothing.
    I downloaded tinyumbrella and RecBoot to try and exit the apparent recovery mode. This didn't work. I have tried numerous times restarting the phone (holding down the home button and power button) with different variations of unplugging the USB from my laptop, letting go of the home button when the Apple logo appears, holding down the + volume button along with the power button, etc.
    Does anyone know what I should do? Would calling Apple help? Or would going in person to an Apple store be better? Would they replace my phone? I don't see how this can be resolved unless the Geniuses have a universal restart method that bypasses everything. I need my phone for work and would be okay with just restoring the phone. Note: My phone has not been jailbroken.
    Really hope someone can help. I would greatly appreciate it...
    Thank you!

    The fact that gs.apple.com was in your host file to begin with is an indicator that your computer was used to jailbreak or hack an iOS device at some point in the past. You can not get help here for a hacked or jailbroken device. If your phone was hacked or jailbroken, Apple won't touch it.
    RecBoot and Tinyumbrella are hacking tools.
    Google "iPhone DFU mode".
    Try restoring in DFU mode. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar and see what Apple has to say about it.

  • CS5 Master Suite disc 2 won't finish installing. Help!

    I have an iMac running OS X v. 10.6.8. I am trying to install Adobe Master Suite CS5. The first disc had a little trouble being read at first. It would self eject after a few moments. Then on the third attempt it worked just fine. It finished its part of the installation then the Adobe Application Manager said, "Please insert Disk CS5 Master Collection Disc 2 to continue." I put the disc in, then it self ejects after the computer attempts to read it. I've tried this about 20 times hoping it was just a glitch like on the first disc. It still won't work. In order to make sure it wasn't my DVD reader in the iMac, I played a DVD movie. The movie worked perfectly.
    My only conclusion at this point is that there must be something wrong with the disc. Please help me figure this out. I have a few days off of work and I want to transfer all my photos and work into the new software while I'm off. Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you!
    -Ryan

    Also, I found the CS5 trial download at http://prodesigntools.com/cs5-free-trial-downloads-now-available.html. However, everytime I click on the link for the master collection it says that there was an error processing the request.
    Adobe support isn't open on the weekend. Please help.

  • Apps won't finish installing on brand new Ipad Air 32 gb

    I bought a 32 gb Ipad Air and I've been going mental trying to get apps onto it.  Most of the time, they look like they are installing but icon turns grey and an error message pops up stating that the app could not be downloaded and I can choose to be "done" or to "retry."  I've re-set my network settings, I've done a hard reset, I've powered down, I've reset to factorhy settings.  You name it, I have tried it.  The new Apple made apps that came with it took ages and ages to download into my iTunes as well.  I thought they'd never finish.  I've updated to the latest ios already too.  Any ideas????

    Since it is so new, I wouldn't put too much effort into trying to fix it, but......
    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.
    If this doesn't work, it my be advisable to return for a replacement.

  • I have updated to IOS 6, the App store won't work, is stuck in update mode for 1 day and the battery now goes flat in 3 hrs without use. Can I go back to IOS 5?

    Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
    Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
    Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
    Thanks

    Just FYI - the situation is resolved.  I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works.  I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.
