  • Updating to iOS 4.0 --- Stuck on 'Restoring iPhone firmware'

    So basically, I was updating my phone to iOS 4.0 and all was going smoothly until now. It has been stuck on "Restoring iPhone firmware..." for the past hour and a half. My phone had turned off and I searched around and was told to turn it back on again, but still nothing has happened. My phone says plug into iTunes, but it already is. Can anyone help me?

    alright guys i just got mine to work. im on a mac, i signed into a different user name, i downloaded a fresh copy of itunes from apple, and it all worked.
    dont use the copy of itunes that automatically updated from itunes. REDOWNLOAD a copy from apple. i think that was the issue.
    steps for working
    1. restart computer
    2. log into a new user name/ or try your normal one, new user name worked for me
    3. download fresh itunes 9.2 from APPLE.

  • IPhone 5 Restore Stuck on "Restoring iPhone Firmware" (iOS8)

    I just cannot believe this.
    My cellular data completely messed up, while I was using it. It gave me "Searching..." even when I removed the SIM card.
    Then I finally decided to restore the iOS8, and it stuck on "Restoring iPhone Firmware", then iTunes got error "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9).".
    I had every single iPhone model and this is the first time that it gave me that kind of serious problem.
    I've tried everything, and it just doesn't start working.
    Then, finally, I've found that ALOT of users are reporting the problem.
    I hope anyone here to have a solution, and soon Apple to release working update.
    P.S. I'm using both Macbook Air and Windows Notebook.

    Check for hardware issues

    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • HT201263 iphone is stuck at "Restoring Iphone Firmware".  Please Help.

    I was restoring and updating my Iphone 5 to IOS 7.0,6 and during the process after completing more than 50% of the process my phone is stuck at "Restoring Iphone Firmware".  Please Help.

    Hello nishit.kadia,
    It sounds like your phone became unresponsive when you attempted a restore of the device. Try resetting your device with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    I would try putting the device in to recovery mode, and attempting the restore again:

    I have recently bought an iPhone 4S and I am trying to install iOS7. The install initially failed and I received an error message. I attempted a restore, however, the progress bar is now stuck at "Restoring iPhone software.."
    I'm still attempting to restore it, but the process goes as follows
    - Extracting software.
    - Waiting for iphone.
    - Preparing iphone software for restore.
    - Verifying iphone software.
    - Restoring iPhone software.
    It is at this point where it begins to load approxiamtely 10% and then freezes. I have had the handset connected 7 hours with no progress and this is my third attempt since Friday. Please help.

    Hi there,

    please advise,

    removing volume control doesn't work for me. please don't try. I tried because i have replaced my LCD before and it is easier for me to do so. Removing your LCD will cause whole lot more issue, such as damage to your WIFI antenna, power and volume button, LCD, and all kind of issue.
    The only solution that "experts" can tell you is to restore via DFU mode and this WILL NOT solve the issue, or restore with save SHSH, which i believe most of you don't have. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GET A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN REALLY "WIPE" AND "RESTORE".
    So far there is no solution to fix the "Restoring IPAD firmware" or "Updating IPAD firmware". I really don't know why Apple is adding the check after IOS 7 which is causing so many issues for ipad 2. I guess the reason behind is because the warranty expire and perfect time to force ipad 2 user to buy new ipad, which I personally don't feel like much improvement.  WHY WE NEED APPLE approves when restoring the device that we already paid FULL price for?????
    It is ashamed that the issue caused by update or restore are not covered by warranty too. so stay away from new IOS and it will only brick your device and force you to get new device. it is opened secret that new upgrade for any device will ONLY slow down your device and force you to buy new one, especially when new IOS is not making your FLY.

  • During restore iPod stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE

    As stated by me above, during restore iPod got stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE. Last time tried different computer, it did work. Next, with different firmware file (when the-other-computer-trick stopped working) like 2.0.2 and then upgrading it - worked for a time. Now, I cannot find ANY way to restore it. Just by itself it accidentally and randomly enters the so called DFU mode and this time I just cannot restore it, every time it's stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE

    try have it restored in an apple store mate..
    if that still doesnt work, send it back and have it replaced..

    This article will walk you through troubleshooting error 29.
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
