exactly the same problemHELPPPP!!!!!! people
![]()
Good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. All the posts I read say that it is user error. I just don't believe that because of the amount of youtube videos I've watched, and I'm doing exactly the same thing!
The problem is: When I hold down power+home (when the iphone is powered on), it just brings up the red "slide to power off" button, and just stays like that. It doesn't go to black screen after 7 seconds like it should.
I'm sad.![]()
Here is what I do, maybe its the order one does stuff in:
While the iPhone is plugged in and connected to iTunes:
Press the Home key.
Reach and push the on/off/sleep key.
Hold the on/off/sleep key for 10 seconds. The display should turn off regardless what the phone is doing about 8 seconds into it.
Release the on/off/sleep key, keep the Home button down.
Eventually iTunes should pop up and say something along the lines of "there is a device in recovery mode here, and needs restored to be useful."
Disclaimer: This is on a 32GB iPhone 4.
Try this:
Connect phone to computer while on and keep connected through rest of the steps
Turn off phone. Verify it is off by pressing the home button.
Hold power button for 3 sec
Hold power and home for 10 sec
Hold home for 30
Take off any cases. They sometimes interfere.
Thanks again, but it again did not work. And just to prove that I'm following everyone's suggestions, I took video of me following these instructions to show proof I'm not lying. It's not working!

In your video, I don't see the itunes screen. Where is it? Just like the other DFU variation, itunes needs to already be up.
Dude, thank you for your reply, but it's just not working! I tried it again IN THAT ORDER (which by the way, is pretty much the same prescribed order as the 50 YouTube videos and step-by-steps that I've already watched), and it didn't work, again.
What happens is that the red "slide to power off" screen comes up, and just stays like that for about 15-20 seconds, then goes back to the home screen like nothing happened.
Again, I am on iPhone 3G, 4.0.2 iOS, iTunes 9.2.0.61.
I seem to be having an issue that I just cannot find an answer to...I have a
3G iphone that was jailbroken for use with T-mobile sim cards. The phone worked perfectly, until I connected it to my computer to download some game apps. Everything I tried to download wouldn't because it said that the phone wasn't properly updated to use with the apps. Not knowing any better I pressed update and it completely wiped my phone. I have tried EVERYTHING, and nothing works. I tried installing custom firmware that someone was helping me with, but the problem seems to be that I my phone won't go into DFU mode. This is what happens...when I turn off the phone by pressing the sleep/on off switch....it just goes black. There is no red slide button at all. Then when I press and hold both the sleep button and the home button, the apple icon flashes and then all I get is a pic of a usb cable and the itunes icon. It doesnt go away...the screen does not go black, it just stays there. Now, here is the weird thing...if I turn it off and then just simply turn it back on....the usb cable and icon are back. Wethor its plugged into the computer or not...thats ALL it does.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me what the problem is??
Hey guys,
I have an iPhone 4 on iOS 5 GM, without a baseband - this happened because my computer had shut down leaving me with the phone in recovery mode during a restore. I kicked the phone out of recovery mode using tiny umbrella. Yet because my phone was unlocked I dont have the official sim carrier.
Now my problems: 1) My home button doesnt always respond - i.e you have to click it twice to bring up the options.
2) I thought i'd try and do a stock restore from itunes so it would update my baseband, yet that fails at 60% through and puts the phone back into recovery mode.
3) Now im stuck with an iPhone that wont enter DFU mode so I cant even do a custom restore which I could do before! Also I could enter DFU mode without any problems whatsoever. Although now all of a sudden it doesnt want to!?
PLEASE HELP ME - I just need the phone to go into DFU mode, and NO it's not a user error. I've entered DFU mode countless amount of times on other idevices. Also the funny thing is, when i turn of the phone and follow the DFU method of redsnow/snowbreeze it leads me into Recovery Mode somehow (And this happens only by holding down the home button while it's still booting) So im really confused on whats going on with this phone.
Any help is appreciated.
