HT201210 I can not restore my iPhone 4S itunes error says I have 29 and I put it in DFU mode and not working help please

Hello

I can not restore my iPhone 4S itunes error says I have 29 and I put it in DFU mode and not working help please

When i delete a app i have had the dreaded black screen and i have to put my iphone 5 in dfu mode and restore it can anyone explain why this happens

when i delete a app my screen goes black and i have to put in dfu mode and restore it didnt happen till i upgraded software any reason for this

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Why does my iPod touch automatically go out of DFU mode, and not stay in it until I turn it on?

I put my iPod touch 4g intoDFU mode, then after 10 minutes or so, it turns on with iBoot. I know that DFU mode bypasses iBoot. It automatically boots out from DFU mode. Please help me, because I want to restore it.

Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

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.

IPhone stuck in dfu mode

Error Code 21, iphone 4S stuck in DFU mode and will not restore!

Hi All,
My brand new Iphone 4S will not switch on unless it is connected to the charger/usb connection to the laptop, before we go any further the battery is fully charged. When you connect the phone to the charger plug you can go through the set up routine until a point is reached when it displays "conect to itunes" however, as soon as you disconect the usb cable from the charger plug to conect it to the laptop it appears to just switch off and then display the apple logo, the screen then goes blank and then the logo again, it carries on doing this indefinately.
I can get the phone into DFU mode and itunes will recognise it, IOS 5.0.1 downloads and it attempts to restore the phone but I then get an "unknown error message (21)" I just cant get past this point, I have also tried the restore procedure on a friends Windows laptop and a MacBook Pro but still no joy.
I have booked an appointment at my nearest Genius Bar (which is miles away) on Thursday but I could well do without having to make this trip, can anyone please advise me if there is something else to try?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, yes I did disable my firewall and antivirus software staight after my first failed restore attempt but it made no difference, like you I also checked out the error code explination.
What I cant understand is why dosent this phone does not work straight out of the box?...its brand new, I have not tried to jailbreak it, (I have recently seen this as a possible cause in another post) I just want the bloody thing to work!
I also forgot to mention in my post that the phone will not respond to any key presses or show any signs of life unless it is conected to a power source and beleive me it has spent most of the last 2 days conected to one due to this, the battery indicator shows it is fully charged.
Any more help is very much appreciated.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

IPhone 4S stuck at DFU mode, can't exit, can't restore, can't boot.

Ok so,
My iPhone 4S wouldn't boot up one day, so I decided to restore it using iTunes. First attempt was unsuccesfull, but I did it the second time. The next day it wouldn't boot up again (probably cause I restored an iTunes backup I made before). So I decided to restore it again, but after 100 attempts (literally) it wouldn't restore. ITunes is stuck on "Waiting for iPhone" screen, and the progress bar on the phone is stuck at 0%, not moving at all! According to tinyumbrella, my iPhone is in DFU mode, but I get a black screen and I can't boot up. I was using iOS 6.1.3 and I WAS NOT JAILBROKEN!
Things I tried but didn't work:
- Holding home button and power button together in all possible ways.
- Trying the "Fix recovery" option in tinyumbrella.
- Holding home button before plugging in the phone to the pc.
- Redownloading iOS 7 off the internet and trying to restore it via iTunes.
- Using 3 different computers (1 desktop and 2 laptops).
- Disabling my anti virus and firewall.
- Using REC BOOT to enter / exit recovery.
- Trying to recharge the phone, but it wouldn't do a thing.
- Restarting my pc.
- Let my iPhone off for 10 or more hours.
- Removing SIM card before trying to restore.
- Redownloading iTunes and updating it.
- TRYING 100 TIMES THE "Update and restore" OPTION IN ITUNES 11.
I did nothing wrong, it suddenly decided to stop responding and to stop powering up. People get this when they're jaibroken but I wasn't. It's been 2 months more than 45 days of me trying to fix it, but no luck .
Please HELP!

I actually got it for 2 euros from a prize machine at my local mall . That was like 4-5 months ago but I never experienced any problems with it. You could tell the iphone was original, so it wasn't fake...

Hey jestinsinclairr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

I am not able to restore my iPhone 4 from DFU mode.......

I have an iPhone 4 and it has gone into DFU mode, and now when I try to restore it through my windows 8 pc, it shows an error in iTunes (in computer) saying that "Error 1600" and it does not restore and goes back to DFU mode.......Please assist me......

Plug it into your computer and contineously hold the power and home buttons, it will take around 15 seconds, but you will see the Apple logo and your iPhone will be back to normal.

Iphone 4 black screen, tried dfu mode, itunes not picking up device. not able to bring up red phone off slide bar or apple logo if any combination of button holding. HELP

iphone 4 black screen, tried dfu mode itunes not picking up device. not able to bring up red phone off slide bar or apple logo if any combination of button holding.
Phone was given to me by apple 2 weeks ago. Last I saw of it working was phone was off so i did the quick reset. Apple logo came up, it started up and keypad for passcode came up. It said 2% battery then went up to 64% a second later. When I was playing wth it not 5mins before it was at 65% so would make sence that later indication was correct. Before I could type the 4 digit passcode in the phone turned off to black screen. Now I have tried all possible reset options incuding the 10 second hold down of both buttons for less than 10 seconds and longer than 10 seconds. Nothing is working. iTunes is not recognising the device at all. Ive had it plugged into a wall socket for three hours and the computer for 2 hours and no signal of life. Ive tried the forums on here and the youtube vidoes and seem to know what im doing with resets. Anyone able to shed some light?

Not being able to get DFU Mode indicates hardware failure. Since you recently received this iPhone from Apple it has at a minimum 90 day Warranty. Make Genius reservation or make service arrangements and take or send to Apple for resolution. Regarding what is actually wrong with the iPhone, it could be possibility of several things. But some of the features point directly to battery. First step in fixing this iPhone would be battery replacement. Then trouble-shooting from there if still problem. Take it to Apple.

Iphone 4s Stuck in Dfu Mode and Itunes and tiny umbrella dont regnoize

So a couple of weeks ago i put my Iphone 4s Into Dfu Mode. It was not plugged into the computer when I put it into Dfu Mode. The apple logo appeared and then the screen turned black. I Reinstalled itunes updateded it and tried it on 2 diffrent computers. Nothing is wrong with the sync cable nor the iphone's hardware. For some reason itunes does not regnoize the Iphone. I tried to get it out of Dfu Mode but it didnt work. I can press a combo of buttons but nothing happens. It stays black. Iphone does not have any hardware problems because it was working perfectly fine before i put it in Dfu Mode and the syncing cables work 100% because i can connect my ipod to itunes and itunes rengoizes my ipod. Is there any solutions? +Tiny Umbrella and RedSn0w Does not regnoize it either.

Use TinyUmbtrella or Redsn0w to kick it out of DFU Mode. Then just restore it through iTunes if you want.
