Laugh a blocked iPhone 4. How to reflash iPhone with PC and iTunes. Refracting iPhone or iPad in normal mode

Hello everyone! The topic of the restoration of IOS firmware has long been reviewed on the Internet along and across. And, frankly, at first I did not want to write about what is already in the network. Why make the same type of instructions? But then it was still decided (these are the torch of the author of this blog! :)) that there is a need for this.

So why another instruction? Everything is very simple - I have a lot of questions, both in the mail, and in the comments about various failures in the iPhone software and, in most cases, you can cure them only with the help of software recovery. So the process is important and bypassing it in any way can not, and I will be easier to answer your questions - simply pointing to this article. Eh, it seems to be justified :) Let's go!

Several important comments:

  1. When restoring the iPhone, absolutely everything is removed from it. It turns out such a phone as if you just bought it in the store.
  2. You can restore only with the help of the computer and iTunes program. "By air", via iCloud or otherwise do it impossible.
  3. The procedure is performed both with a fully operational device and in the event that the IOS system is not loaded (in this case, you need to enter the DFU mode).

By the way, recovery is the only way to correctly remove the jailbreak with the iPhone.

Detailed IPhone Restore Instructions

So, complete and detailed step by step instructions. We start iTunes on your computer and connect the iPhone if everything has passed successfully, then in the main program window, the phone model is displayed, its firmware and other data. At this stage, two errors are possible:

  1. The computer does not define the iPhone - about it.
  2. If the device does not submit signs of life - we try.

As a result, with any successful connection we get one of two windows.

And here we are interested in only one button - "Restore". If you just click on it, then iTunes will begin to prepare the iPhone, downloads the last relevant firmware from the Apple servers and starts it to install it.

Attention! The "Find iPhone" function must be disabled!

The largest "snag" is precisely in the firmware loading. Sometimes this process takes a sufficiently large amount of time, especially with a slow Internet. Plus, if the connection is not distinguished by stability and possible communication breaks, then iTunes every time it will begin to download it again, which will agree not very nice and long.

But there is a way to speed up the recovery process. To do this, you must independently download the software file in format.IPSW (from any third-party resource, such as 4PDA) and save it on your computer. Note - for each iPhone model, will be your different from the other file!

Now, clamp the "SHIFT" key on the keyboard and then press the "Restore" button. A window will open asking you to specify the firmware file. We choose in advance downloaded and waiting - iTunes will do it yourself.

Why can't you restore the iPhone and what to do?

There can actually have a lot of reasons. Moreover, they are connected with both a computer or device, and simply with inattention.

Here are the most basic:

  1. Lack of Internet access on a PC or periodic of its cliffs and shutdowns.
  2. Antiviruses, firewalls and other programs preventing the normal functioning of iTunes. Maybe your security settings are configured in such a way that iTunes elementary does not access Apple servers.
  3. Slow internet. Not even so. Very slow Internet. Now it is rare, but I remember my attempts to reanimate the iPhone in the distant 2009 using the access to the network with a USB modem. I will not paint everything, I will say the result - the recovery failed.
  4. In the case when you independently download the firmware - see if it approaches exactly for your phone model.
  5. Check for iTunes. If so, set the latest version of the program.
  6. It is very desirable, so what is there, be sure to use the original USB cable, not certified can help the appearance of various errors. Unoriginal can only be, and it is not always, but for flashing (recovery) they are not suitable.
  7. It is possible that the problems are already inside, that is, "iron". Faults may be mass - from the loop, to the motherboard. Remember, not or too much.

As you can see, there are really many options. Please pay attention to any trifle - after all, it is because of it that may arise with the recovery of the iPhone. Anyway, something does not work? Be sure to write in the comments - let's try to figure together!

Features of flashing smartphone

You have an iPhone to the service center, where it is 100% will be repaired, but it will have to pay a fairly large amount for it, or try to find a solution to the resulting problem, simply by flashing the gadget. In the same way, the specialists of the service center are most often used. No need to be afraid to independently carry out flashing, as it is not as difficult and long, as it seems at first glance.

Opporting iPhone is the restoration of the phone to a working state. Attention should be paid to the fact that the flashing will lead to the loss of all information from the phone.

Before the procedure, if the gadget is in working form, it must be connected to the PC and create a spare copy. Personal photos, video, as well as audio materials on a hard disk, should be copied, because the disposal of the device will lead to the fact that it will return to the factory settings and will be completely clean.

It should be taken to attention and the fact that beyond the dependence of the variation of the iPhone, be it 3, 4S or 5S, the flashing procedure is identically implemented in all cases. Therefore, you do not need to worry about the inconsistency of the instructions for your phone, you just need to carefully and clearly perform the steps described.

Below will be described in detail the firmware procedure on the example of iPhone 4S.

Preparatory actions

Even before the beginning of the operation, the subscriber needs to download the firmware having an extension. PSW. For a specific model, the iPhone is provided by the corresponding version.

Determine what kind of version is needed for a particular smartphone, it is possible very easily. The firmware files contain a device version (iPhone 3, 4S, 6), as well as its model directly, which is an alphanumeric combination located on the back side of the gadget below the logo.

The main complexity of the selection of the firmware version, respectively, the models is that there are GSM, as well as the CDMA model of "apple" devices. Their difference lies in the fact that these devices are functioning in various cellular networks. The firmware for GSM iPhone 4S will not suit iPhone 4s on CDMA.

After determining the personal device model, you need to download the necessary firmware. Each subscriber may find the latest version of IOS, or if it doesn't like it, you can download a little outdated, standing on the smartphone earlier. The main condition is that the old version, the downloading of which is being held again, was signed by Apple.

Also, before updating the subscriber, you must turn off the option called "Find iPhone". Otherwise, reflash the iPhone 4S does not work out, since this feature prevents the procedure under consideration, therefore, iTunes will emboss the error.

In addition, it is better to make sure that the newest iTunes version is installed on the smartphone, for this you only need to start the program. If the new version is available, the program will automatically put on you knowing you and will be able to upgrade. After performing all the preparatory actions, you can safely move to the process of flashing.

Flashing procedure

In general, to solve the problem under consideration, the iphone 4s holders are offered two options, each of which is absolutely valid, effective, and also allows you to restore the smartphone quite easily and quickly:

  1. With help
  2. Through DFumode.

The first option is an emergency recovery mode. Most often it is used to restore the operational action of gadgets on iOS, after the moment when their proper functioning began to make failures.

The second method is not different from the first almost nothing. The difference lies only in the fact that the procedure is carried out directly using Firmware, bypassing the iphone operating system. Often this method is applied when the device has a jailbreak or when flashing with the first method is impossible.

Refracting with RecoveryMode

To carry out the operation by this method, the subscriber should turn off the iPhone and wait for the full repayment of the smartphone screen. Then you need to connect it to the computer while holding the "Home" button. PC will take a device in RecoveryMode recovery mode.

Subsequent actions must be performed in such a sequence.

It is required to run the iTunes program and wait for the moment when the program detects the iPhone, there may be two options here:

  • iTunes will offer the user to restore the connected device. In this case, you should click OK.

  • iTunes absolutely does not react. Then you should click on the phone icon, find item called "Iphon Recovery", after which it must be selected by clamping the SHIFT button (if Windows operating system is used) or Alt (when the MAC operating system is used).

Next, the File Manager opens, where the subscriber needs to select the firmware. You need to find the file that contains the firmware downloaded before the start of the operation. Then you need to select it and click the "Open" key.

After that, the program will do everything yourself, it is only required to wait for the process final. After completing the device needs to be disconnected from the computer. Then you need to turn off the phone by holding the POWER button. After that, by clicking on the same button, the smartphone must be turned on. That's all, absolutely all iPhone settings are fixed, and it is ready for further operation.

Refracting with DFumode

Even before the start of the process under consideration, the smartphone is required to be translated into DFumode. Then the phone must be connected to the computer and turn it off. After that, on the device at the same time, it is necessary to hold the Home buttons, as well as POWER and count ten seconds, after which the POWER key needs to be released, and the Home continue to hold until the program recognizes the iTunes program of the configurable smartphone in DFU mode.

Subsequent actions should be performed in a strict sequence, and they are almost completely identical, as in the case of recoverymode:

  1. First you need to select the necessary device in the program.
  2. In the Manual menu, you must find the item "Restore iPhone".
  3. After that, it must be selected by pressing the SHIFT button (if the Windows operating system is applied) or Alt (when the MAC operating system is used).
  4. In the window, which as a result of this has opened, you need to specify the path to the file with the previously downloaded firmware, and then click on the Open button.
  5. After completed actions, the subscriber needs to wait for the moment when the program brings to the final flowing procedure.
  6. It only remains to include a restored smartphone, after which you can absolutely calmly and confidently use the perfectly working iPhone 4S.

The problem of solving the problem will be useful to those subscribers who put on their own jailbreak, or as a result of certain reasons, the flashing in RecoveryMode did not lead to success.

Each of the considered flashing options is absolutely valid, and should help solve the problem under consideration. The subscriber does not need to be afraid to independently carry out this process, since nothing is difficult in it. You just need to have the slightest skills in the use of a smartphone and be extremely attentive. Actions need to be performed in a strict sequence, and then the successful finale is guaranteed. The main advantage of the process is that it is not necessary to spend any money, as it happened in the service center. Despite this, a person receives a phone with a little bit of worst settings that the gadget service center provides. But if you still doubt your abilities, or for some reason, you failed to cope with the goal, it is better to seek professional help or at least consultation of specialists. You can do this in almost every area of \u200b\u200bany city.

The iPhones are now very reliable smartphones, as Apple makes a big focus on their quality, but it's still a technique and like any technique whether it is a computer, or a TV touch it tend to break. All these problems with the smartphone put you before choosing, attribute your smartphone to the service center, where you can contemplate a round sum or try to fix it yourself. This instruction is general and suitable for all iPhone models.

Let's deal with what the iPhone firmware is needed:

  1. In the case of software failure.
  2. If you need to establish the current version of the OS.
  3. In the case when you forgot your password (not to be confused with the activation lock of the APLLE ID).
  4. To create a clean system after changing the Device owner.

In this case, you can make very simple actions in order to restore your device to a working state, for this you do not need a programmer's knowledge is very simple. One of the simple ways to restore the iPhone is to reflash it, for this we will need a computer and iTunes. By the way, the same actions are made in the service center.
