IPhone keeps returning to DFU Mode, Screen turns white then yellow when restoring

I recently got a iPhone 3GS, I didnt jailbreak or anything. I was planning to restore and update to 6.1.3. After the restore it went directly to DFU Mode and wont exit. When I restored again, the screen turned white, when the itunes said preparing to restore,  the screen turned yellow and restore proccess wont continue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. An iPhone 4S, 6 months old, stuck in DFU mode, black screen and iTunes can't restore (error 1600). Tried reloading iTunes, tried 3 different computers (Win 7, Vista, OSX) all report the same problem.
This phone has never been jailbroken (don't need that in Oz because my carrier doesn't lock their phones). It still had the original iOS that it came with from Apple.
Like migsiliciousI read lots of post about using jailbreak software to kick the phone out of restore mode without installing a custom OS, but I'm not going to try that as the phone is still under warranty. If there is no simple solution to the 1600 error, then I'm going to have to travel 40km to the nearest Apple Store and see what they can do.

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • IMac screen turns white, then won't restart

    24" iMac running 10.6.8
    Just installed MacKeeper software and did a "Fast Cleanup". It says my system is running "excellent". Then, one day later, I am on the internet and the screen goes white. Pulled the plug as that was the only way I could get it to shut down, restarted, screen is now 50% white (frosted) but I can see the type. As I am talking to MacKeeper on the phone, it goes completely white again. Third time try to restart and button won't even turn it on. Fourth time restart (as above)  and have the 50% white screen again. Long enough this time to figure out my Apple ID and password and type in this question.
    Do you think this is software related (MacKeeper)? Or is this my first Mac to ever have a real problem.

    Didn't get a response here, so I read some other similar posts. I've tried everything: rebooting to safe mode, uninstalling MacKeeper, and running disk utility (which said it could find no problems).
    Any other suggestions out there folks?

  • Iphone keeps returning to recovery mode after successful restore...

    Alrighty... my iphone 4 decided to randomly shut off during normal operation today. When trying to turn it back on, it would try to boot, shut off, try to boot again, shut off. Then randomly after trying to charge it and turn it on a few more times, it went into recovery mode with the connect to itunes pic. itunes claimed it needed to be restored. Unable to get it into dmu mode, so none of the nifty little programs other's recommend worked for it. It randomly turned on long enough for me to save my contacts and pics and then shut itself off. I then went ahead with the restore. It took a few tries because the phone would power off and disconnect from itunes, but I finally managed system restore... only to have it boot up in recovery mode again. Tiny Umbrella and all those other programs cant force it out of recovey mode either. What to do...?

    You need to discuss this on the developers' forum. Did you not read the NDA you signed?

  • Screen turns white and freezes when I click on a link

    also freezes when I click on the screen or try to use the right slide bar. Also getting firefox is not responding.

    First, make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser. Ref: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]] and [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]. If links in Outlook Express that should open Firefox freeze the entire computer, you could try temporarily setting Internet Explorer (or another browser) as the default (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser#Using_Set_Program_Access_and_Defaults for one way to do that).
    If clicking links in Outlook Express still freezes the computer, you should seek help in a Windows XP forum or an Outlook Express forum ... for example, I found these with a google search:

    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...

  • My iphone 4 is in DFU mode.  However I still want the photos on the phone so I cant use the itune recover option.  Does anyone know of a work around

    My iphone 4 is in DFU mode.  However I still want the photos on the phone so I cant use the itune recover option.  Does anyone know of a work around

    actually its not in DFU which is suppose to be a black screen.  When it powers on there is an image of Itunes logo and the usb cord.  What happened is I did an update before I backed up my photos the phone worked great after the update no issues till it powered off.  When I turned it on again it had those two icons and was forcing me to sync with Itunes to system default which will wipe out my media. 
    Have you heard of any data recovery services

  • 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.

  • TS1702 My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting options with the exception of re-installing the app, because I fear I will lose a number of recent projects I have

    My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting chart (no updates available, tried restarting app, restarted device) all I have left is to re-install the app... My main fear is that if I do this I will lose a load of recent projects that are saved to the app that I've spent the last few days creating... Help...

    I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
    What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
    I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
    Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
    I really hope I don't have to erase it.
    It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
    If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
    Thank you

  • I have.i phone 4 i update it into ios 7.1.2 now.my iphone.only start in dfu mode.it is not start normally

    i have iphone 4 i update my iphone 4 into ios 7 .1.2 now my iphone only start in dfu mode my iphone cant start normally .please tell me what is reason its not start normally .

    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

    I am having the same problem with my ipad air but mine is so severe that it's just rebooting non stop. I guess the battery will die eventually but it has rendered the device useless. I guess I will be taking it back to apple. Very disappointed. Never had an apple product in 20yrs have such a severe problem.

  • Iphone 3g goes into DFU mode by it's self

    hi guys
    my iphone 3g goes into DFU mode by it's self is there someone who knows what should i do for it?
    by the way i made a restore and updates and everything possible i thought maybe there was an application pushing it to go in dfu mode so i left only the necessary apps but still the same it goes off when someone calls me they hear the ringing like if it's on i connect it to the pc and it's detected as dfu mode!!

    from a back up of course otherwise i'll loose all my informations as contacts, mails,...etc
    to be more clear last thing i did is:
    it was running on os 4.0 so i did update it to 4.2 then restored it from the back up
