My iphone stuck in dfu mode but wont restore

I have iphone 4 and 5. I havent use my iphone 4 for awhile and i decided to use it after i found it and update it to ios7. Then it got stuck in the logo and wont turn on. I kept trying and trying for many days and it keep giving me 3194 error. My phone keep rebooting. Then i finally found solution in windows support (fixit) and finally its restoring but in the middle of restoring it, itunes stop working. It gave me apple logo with line below it (like when ur loading something). i waited for awhile but nothing happen and itunes is like normal but wont go back to restore even after i took it off and plug it back. It just give me blank screen. I dont know what to do now. Itunes wont restore but it connect to itune in dfu mode. I downloaded redsnow to take it off from dfu mode but still useless. Im running out of idea. ive done the manual taking the dfu mode but it still give me blank screen but definately my phone still work since it connect to the computer. It wont sync or anything tho. Plz help

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.

    iphone stuck in dfu mode after resoting with wrong BR

    Hi, my iPhone was water damaged, and was stuck in dfu but wouldn't restore due to error 2001, this is what I did,
    The phone is not jail broke or unlocked its straight, I striped the phone and cleaned all the boards and let them dry
    Out, I've heard that if an I-device has error remove the power supply for a few days, and since royal mail thought my battery was a packet of drugs they ript the back of and snapped the battery cable, I am perusing royal mail about the damage they have done, so I got a knew batt and put it all together, I pressed the on button and the home button for ten seconds, then web I started to boot I let go of the on button, waited for ten seconds and the phone came up as normal, no connect to I-tunes screen, I put the USB lead in and restored my phone to a bran new phone and then updated it to the latest firmware, the phone is fine, every thing works and it turns on and of with no problems, I hope this helps people out their.

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

  • My iphone is stuck in DFU mode but i cant connect it to itunes for recovery

    i updated my iphone 4 to ios 7 but then it keep turning on and off at the apple logo. My friend said that it is stuck on DFU mode and i have to connect it to itunes but now the problem is my phone cant connect to itunes

    Hi akitestry,
    If your iPhone 4 will not start up past the Apple logo, you should troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    In particular -
    5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • HT201210 Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode and wont restore , keep getting apple update server not available try later but I have and it keeps saying the same thing, all i did to get in this mess was try to update tyhe phone software , so this is an APPLE

    What next any ideas, thanks?

    Hi there...
    Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
    To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
    1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
    2-Restart your Windows.
    If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
    1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
    notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 
    2- look for gs.apple.com
    3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
    4- Save the file and try restoring again.
    Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
             put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
    I hope this helps. It did for me

  • My iPhone is stuck in DFU mode but it will not restore please help me!

    What happened to my phone was I was having screen issues so i replaced it and it worked normally for about 5 minutes and then the screen went black. After the screen went black, it came back on with the "connect to itunes screen". Since then i've tried to restore it and no good has cone fron trying. Sometimes itunes will tell me that it can't be restored because of the build of the phone or itunes will give me a different error code. Itunes also will make it as far as the restore screen where itunes is saying waiting for iphone and the iphone screen is on with the white loading line under the apple but the line will not move no matter how long you give it time to load. I've tried pretty much all the techniques to reslove my issue. I've even used tiny umbrella, and redsnow to try and kick it out of recovery mode but that does is make the apple logo pop up and fade out until the screen is black and then pop up again. Can someone please help me?

    It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help  with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

  • HT4061 IOS6.1 corrupted during install. Ipad now wont boot, stuck in recovery mode. Wont restore to factory settings, get error 3194. HELP !!

    Hi.
    I have just tried to update Ipad to IOS6.1, but it failed during install. The pad now seems to be stuck in recovery mode.
    I have tried to restore to factory settings but I get a error code 3194
    During attempted restore the restore screen does not show the Ipad name, serial number or software version number.
    Any suggestions, I think it may need to be sent away to be repaired, and i fear this will be very expensive!!!

  • Iphone4s was charging and now stuck in recovery mode and wont restore

    can anyone help (with ways to fix this issue other than the 1's ive already tred) I was charging my phone and when i went to get off off charge it was dead and only displayed the itunes connect image. I have tried to restore it and when i connect it to itunes it displays this message 'itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore ths iphone before it can be used with itunes' so i tried to restore it may times now but get so far and then have an error message. Ive had error 1611, error 21 error 1611 again and error 21 a further 4 times. I have also been to the apple store and made an appointment with the so called geniuis people however after 4 and a half hours waiting to be seen did they take my phone out the back then over 15 mins later the chap dealing with me came back saying ' WHEN DID YOU HAVE A NEW SCREEN FITTED' I replied 2/3 months ago as i dropped it on my table and the screen cracked so i took it to a phone repair shop and paid £105 to have it replaced and my phone was working fine after I wasnt aware that the warranty covered you for a cracked screen that you was caused because you dropped it accedentaly etc.... well any way tghe chap then said ' I can t help you any further as you need to go back to the shop who changed the screen and get them to resolve this isssue. I asked how on earth can a new sceen fitted cause my phone to go in to recovry mode (2/3 months after the screen was replaced mind) the reply i got was ' Its not my issue its out of my hands........' I was more than tamping, raging fuming leaving there as no advice was given to rectifiy the issue i have with my phone. The following morning i went straight to the shop that replaired/replaced my cracked screen and told them what apple had said to me and that i was to come back to yourselves as you need to rectify the issue? to say the repair guy was baffled is an understatement but in fairness at least he tried to help me and attempted to restore it on itunes 6 times in total and changed the battery to a brnd new 1 plus checked the charging port to make sure this was not faulty. after all his help he was still baffled as to why apple felt its his fault after replacing a cracked screen as the error codes being displayed clearly were a software issue not an issue caused by replacing the crakced sceen'
    I was more than happy to pay apple and charges to fix my phone based on the fact my warranty was now null and void (which is pathetic as the replacement screen was an apple origianl replacement screen it was just fitted by someone else whom is qualifed to do so) but wasnt even given the option to pay for any repairs etc.....they simply blamed someone else and offer me no further help.
    so a week later after this first hapen to my phone whilst on charge and i still in the same boat and have run out of things to try (which was all found by using google as apple support secton is a load of fresh air and doenst actually give you the info and help your need.
    Im grateful of any help that can be offered. 

    Sorted it now, took it to Apple store and explained etc. was nothing could do but restore the phone. Was told to make sure itunes on PC was up-to-date version before updating iphone which could have caused the error.
