Iphone 3G- DFU mode Help
Hello,
I have a Iphone 3g, I bought it about a year ago and have been very pleased with it until now. I was sitting in the car on my way to a hotel and noticed my iphone restarted, I let it do its thing and saw the apple logo, so I assumed that it was turning back on, so i went back to messing around on my new mabook. About 1 hour later I looked down and it was STILL on the loading screen with the apple logo. I have put it into recovery mode after about 2 hours of failing to restart it and make it work correctly.
Now like many of us, I have ALOT of important things on my phone: Contacts, My music( which i did backup but the computer that it was backed up on broke..), Applications, notes, and just everything in general. I would really like to avoid restoring it but I guess I am going to have to. Although I would just like to know if I can back up my iphone while its in restore mode, before restoring and erasing it..
Thank you in advance,
Jacob
Your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - documents, photos, contact info, etc., which should be stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only. If your computer's hard drive fails, you''ll have a backup to restore your most important data from, or it can be restored from the backup with a new computer.
There is no way to back up your iPhone while in recovery or DFU mode.

IPhone 3GS DFU mode won't show up in iTunes
What am I doing wrong that my iPhone 3GS in DFU mode won't show up in iTunes? If it will not show up in DFU mode in ITunes, then I am unable to jailbreak it with redsnow because it can not see it. ITunes sees my phone when I am not in DFU mode but as soon as I go into DFU, it disappears and then the sound on the computer sounds like it is going to see it again but it never shows up in ITunes. I am running Itunes 10.6 and Iphone 3GS 5.1.
We Don't Talk about jailbreaking here.
Sorry
I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.

IPhone on DFU mode and NO POWER.
Okay so I was syncing my iPhone 4 to my PC and it restarted with black screen and went into recovery mode, however, when I tried to restore it the screen went white and so I pressed the HOME + POWER at the same time and it went all the way to black screen. Now, it says the iPhone is on DFU mode and whenever I try to restore it, I am getting an error on iTunes.
I would like to know what are my other options to power ON my iPhone so I can go to recovery mode?Any error number given?
Connecting in recovery mode is the only way to restore, but you can try if you can connect to another computer.

[win 8] itunes not detecting iphone in DFU mode for restore/recovery
Here is the story:
Had my iphone 6 plus for about a month now. Today I hooked it up to my windows 8 machine and itunes (both fully updated to latest versions).
Phone was detected fine, so I ran a full sync and backup to my local machine with itunes. No problem its all good.
Then went to the updates section and it said I had a new one (8.1.2 or whatever I cant remember)
I ran it, in itunes while the device was connected.
It downloaded and was going through the install process... then the screen on my phone went to the "connecting to itunes" graphic (with the cord and the itunes app icon). Thats where it sat.
So now it no longer appeared as a device in itunes either.
OK... went to the forums.
1) Tried all the reboots and uninstalls/reinstalls
2) Tried booting and connecting in "Recovery mode" (default now as all I see is that connecting screen)
3) Tried booting and connecting in DFU mode
Neither mode was detecting the device with itunes but I am getting the chimes of connection for windows itself.
I do see the device in my windows system hardware under "unspecified" as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" (and when i view details its model shows either Recovery or DFU mode depending on how I booted the device)
So here I am... stuck with a phone in either DFU mode OR recovery mode on a botched ios update and itunes wont detect it on windows 8.x
What can I do ?
Looking for some creative or outside the box ideas here. I just want a reset and restore of the backup I made on local itunes today.
If I can get the device back to even a factory reset, I am hoping itunes will detect it properly and can run a restore from it local storage.
Really stuck and been on this for hours now.Hello joeldevil,
I know you have tried uninstalling and a reinstall of iTunes, but have you checked out the additional troubleshooting steps to check the drivers to make sure that they are installed. There is also a section for what to do when your iPhone is in recovery mode and not seen in iTunes. One more thing you can try is to try your restore in another user.

Why do OTA updates place iPhone in DFU Mode
All current iOS updates have place my iPhone 6 into DFU mode during the update process. I am sick of having to spend hours restoring my phone to factory condition, then updating the phone, and then restoring a backup.
I wish to know why this is repeatedly happening.
It is not my network, I have a 5 GHZ 50 GB service.
I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this repeated failure.
EricDid you try top use the 2.4GHz mode instead?

My iPhone is stuck in Recovery Mode. It goes all the way to 100% firmware restore and then stops and gives me Error 1013, no matter what I do. I have followed all the tips from support dealing with this error. I have moved USB ports, computers, I have deleted my ipsw and DL'd while restoring. I have removed my anti virus and still nothing. It's been 2 days, and my business is starting to suffer as I cannot gain access to my contacts. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi there scott, i have the same problem, 3g is stuck in recovery mode, could you please email on how to solve this problem. Thanks

What Can i do?
Not sure there's anything you can do. Your phone is likely permanently damaged from the jailbreaking.
In any case, jailbreaking violates Apple's warranty on the phone, and eliminates your ability to get help from Apple, including from this forum. Discussion of jailbroken phones is a violation of the Terms of Use of this forum.
You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for answers to your problem.
Best of luck.

How do i get my iphone 4s out of being stuck in headphones mode. When i dont even have headphones plugged in, it says headphones ringer. I've tried blowing and sucking in the jack, didnt work. I tried using a blowdrier in the jack, didn't work. I also tried putting it in the freezer while in a plastic bag, trying to clean it with a qu tip, and plugging and unplugging the headphones more than 100 times, still nothing and i also restored, reset, and put my iphone in DFU mode, and still nothing seems to work. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY OTHER WAY I NEED HELP PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! ANYONE ANY OTHER WAYS TO FIX IT?!?!??!? That would be very helpful
I had the same problem. I squirted a drop of WD40 in the headphone hole and then used a plastic dental toothpick and twisted it around in the hole. It amazingly worked.
Good luck -

My 1 year warranty is already expired. is my ipod officially and completely DEAD????
See if you missed anything here
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free. No warranty required

How can i put my iphone in to dfu mode if my home button is broken i am on ios 7
i cannot figure out how to put my iphone in dfu mode with a broken home button on ios 7
Then you use this support document to restore it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 Then, if the device is on iOS 7, you will need his Apple ID and password for Activation Lock. If he cannot remember that, there is nothing you can do to change that. DFU mode will not correct that. It will be locked and cannot be activated, period.
