How To Factory Reset IPhone 4 That Has Been Disabled Without ITunes
Jun 2, 2014
I have an iPhone 4 that my friend gave me. Her younger siblings were playing on it and it's disabled and must be connected to iTunes. I have tried to restore it, but it was never synced with iTunes. The computer doesn't even recognize it at this point. It has iOS 6, but I don't know which version. Is there a way to fix this? Like a hidden reset button? I have held both the home and power button to reboot, I have put it recovery mode many times...I've done every method I have found on the internet. I've done over 5 hours of research and nothing works.
Info:
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1, Was never synced with iTunes.
I have an iphone 4s... I put a password on and I cant remeber it now my phone is disabled...I am on i tunes and can not figure out where or how to do a factory reset on the phone to unlock it?
All apps have been wiped from my 4s. this also includes the iphone factory settings app. i cannot do a factory reset on iTunes because it asks me to turn off my" find my iphone app" which i cant open because it has vanished....
Attempted the 7.1.2 update. Immediately went to screen to connect to itunes. Tried hard reboot- that did not work. Know phone connected to itunes for a SLOW 5 hour factory reset. Now Im afraid Ill lose everything. WHY did this happen & how do i get my phone back to working condition?
Anyways, I have managed to change my homescreen, widgets and subsequent screens so much that now I'm bored with it. I would like to reset all these screens back their original state.
My Iphone 5 is disabled and it does not say how long for. I can not reset it because i need my photos off it. Is there anything i can do to remove the password or sync the photos while it is disabled ? Is there anyway i can do it at home ?
My Iphone 4 is disabled and is saying connect to I tunes, when I try to connect it says that I need to enter a password on my phone but my phone is saying emergency calls only?
My iphone is disabled and it says connect it to itunes. I connect it to itunes and itunes says to enter the passcode, which I can't do since the phone is locked. I can't turn it off or to DFU mode.
I have a new iphone 4s I barely used.I cant recall if I ever synced or backed up my iphone.I forgot my password and my phone is showing "iphone is disabled connect ti itunes".Ive followed the instructions to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device however when i do this itunes says " itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode" next I choose ok and the only option i can find is to restore I dont see the option for new device. Ive choosen the recovery mode which takes about a good 30 to 60 minuets. Once complete my iphone still shows"iphone is disabled connect ti itunes".
Info: iPhone 4S, Mac OS X (10.7.4), iphone disabled connect to itunes
