Iphone 4. How to wipe the data if it can't boot up?

iPhone 4 isn't booting fully, want to sell it for parts. How do I wipe the data if it can't boot up?

I've tried the restore from iTunes already.  Each time I eventually get the message: "The iPhone could not be restored, An unknown error occurred (21)." 
Quick recap:  iPhone can not stay on without being hooked to power or the PC.  Once plugged in, it can only display the connect to ITunes screen.  Once connected to iTunes, this message appears:  "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."  I hit OK, then the Restore button, then the Restore and Update button when asked if I'm sure.  Then it starts "Extracting Software."  When that's done, it says "Preparing iPhone for restore," and then you can hear the phone disconnecting and reconnecting several times until the error message .."could not be restored..." pops up, ending the process.
I've looked up error 21 and it comes up as a Security or hardware issue.  Security isn't the issue, the hardware/software simply won't stay on.  What next?  Again, I'd like to sell it for parts, but need to wipe it.  Is everything to wipe stored on the sim card?  Is there a way to simply wipe that, maybe using another iPhone?

    Icloud shows my backup data in storage from two lost iphones. YesI was having too much of a good time.   How do I download this data to my Mac?  I didnt back up the data to itunes previsouly.?

    You cannot download data from an icloud backup (of a device) to a mac.  You can buy a new device and while doing the initial setup in itunes, be sure to perform a restore from the icloud backup.

  • How to find the date my iPhone 4s was manufactured

    Hi, Please can anyone tell me how to find the date my iPhone 4s 64gb was manufactured. I have the serial and i-m-e numbers. For some reason my Insurance company want to know, all I wanted to do was add the phone to my all risks policy. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    That's all you will get, there is no way to know the manufactured date only the warranty status from date of original sale and it is most unlikely your warranty is still "good" on an iPhone 4

    My iPhone says "o death" where the date should be on the lock screen, why is it doing this and how do I get the date back?

    I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
    Thanks for all your replies!

  • How do I wipe the data from my Mac if I sell it on to a new owner

    I am selling my version 1 Mac book air, running on Lion, how do I wipe the data from the machine but leave the OS in place and working for the new owner?
    thanks

    To prepare a computer for sale or donation, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you paid for an upgrade OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstallthe original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.)
    The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

  • On my iPhone, I have lost all the data in Notes.

    On my iPhone I ave lost all the data in Notes.How cn I prevent this from happening again?

    Did you recently remove an email account that synced notes or disable Notes for your iCloud account?
    Backup your iPhone using iTunes, see this for more info -> iTunes: About iOS backups
    You can also sync notes, more info here -> iOS: Syncing Notes

    I lost my iPhone. If I wipe the device will I be able to restore my old iCloud backups to my new iPhone when I get it?

    Yes.  It will only erase the phone, not any data or backups from icloud.com.  If you think it was stolen, you might want to read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.

  • How to pass the data from a input table to RFC data service?

    Hi,
    I am doing a prototype with VC, I'm wondering how VC pass the data from a table view to a backend data service? For example, I have one RFC in the backend system with a tabel type importing parameter, now I want to pass all the data from an input table view to the RFC, I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it.
    I try to create some events between the input table and data service, but seems there is no a system event can export the whole table to the backend data service.
    Thanks for your answer.

    Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to  be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
    Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
    Thanks.

  • How to read the data in excel sheet

    Dear sir,
    How to read the data in excel sheet when i recieve a data serial communication... ie i have store a data in excel such that

    when i recieve A from serial communication i have to display Apple, and when i recieve B i have to display Ball and so on.. 

    Hi, 
    I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached. 
    Trust this would help you solve the issue.
