IPhone 4 :: Stuck On Waiting On Phone During Restore
Aug 21, 2014
My iPhone4 needs to be restored but each time I give iTunes the okay to start the restore it'll extract software or w/e and then go to "waiting on iPhone" then it'll do that for hours on end until I finally unplug it, I've tried several times to redo it but it doesn't work. I don't actually use it as a phone I just hook it to wifi and use it that way and keep all my music on it because I have a phone and I received this for free but can't afford the phone service.
Info:
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2, restore, recovery

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before but I NEED HELP!! My Iphone was recently not able to sync on Itunes. Everytime I would try and sync my music it would disappear from the itues menu but still say 'syncing'. Then I tried to restore it after this failed (by getting an error message) I tried to re-jailbreak it and now it will not leave the Apple logo. I've tried everything I know, hopefully someone else knows something.I Have an Iphone 3g with 3.1.2 firmware on it I believe.

My phone was running slow so I turned it off. When I turned it off and tried to turn it back on it had the little connect to itunes symbol so I went and plugges it in. As soon as I did it said that it couldnt connect to itunes server so i got on here and went and updated my stuff and everything and then tried it again. It kept saying there was an error (-23). I have no idea what to do because I got it to where it would start to update and it would stop after about 30 minutes to an hour saying that an unknown error had occured. Help anyone?

I tried to restore my 3Gs. It was jailbroken on 3.1.3. The restore failed. I tried using tiny umbrella and RecBoot and it still said i could only restore and upgrade, so i decided after trying that a bunch of times to just do the manual reset from within the settings on the phone. It was on the apple logo with the spinnging thing for like an hour, and now its just stuck on the apple logo. I put it into DFU and tried exiting DFU (like i did earlier) using recboot but now it just wont leave the apple logo.

My iPhone 4S will not download updates to my existing apps or new apps. Every attempt at downloading simply goes into a "waiting" status. I know it's not my network because my wife's 4S downloads apps no problem, as does my daughters iPod Touch. I have tried completely shutting my iPhone off and turning it back on. No luck. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. No luck.
Right now the only way I've been able to get updates and apps onto my phone is by syncing it, which is ridiculous. I don't understand why this suddenly started happening. I've had the phone since November with zero problems. I know it's not server traffic because my wife's downloads come in quickly on the same network. I haven't been able to download anything in several weeks now.

I recently transferred from an iPhone 4 to 4s, all my apps went across fine. I also downloaded a few new apps no problem. However, one particular app didn't download and now remains 'Waiting...' I therefore atempted to use itunes to download it and then transfer it onto the phone, the farthest the app got then was 'Installing' but no progress followed. The app cannot be deleted either using itunes and on the phone itself. I even removed all the apps on the phone using itunes but it remained 'waiting...'.
Now, the strangest part is I opened Game Center and it showed the game as installed the PLAY option in the top right. To my surprise the app opened and wroks. HOWEVER, the app remains 'waiting...' everywhere else. It cannot even be closed by double tapping the home button. This means I cannot delete the app nor simply close it - it is constantly on 'in the background'. Summary; App appears not to complete download, cannot be deleted, can be opened through game center and cannot be closed by double tapping home button.

I lost my iphone 4s about 2 months ago. I went out and bought a new one but kept putting off syncing it with my computer. Today I finally connected it to my mac computer and it gave me the option to restore this new iphone to the one I had lost a few months ago. I didn't know much about the process so I restored it. But since I had waiting so long to sync this phone I had over 100 photos and many new contacts. The restore did gave my new iphone the same background and I've noticed some of the setting I used to have are back as well as all the old photos I had on my old phone. But it deleted all the photos I had taken on my phone over the two months between buying it and now finally syncing it and it also doesn't have any of the contacts I added between now and then. Is there any way to get those back?

Stuck @ "Downloading update..." screen when trying first time connection/start up.
"Downloading update... Waiting for download
This update is 43.8 MB. To continue the download, select a Wi-Fi network.
Via Wi-Fi only until Nov 26
Update size: 43.8MB".
Back button on "Downloading update..." screen doesn't respond.
6P is connected to Verizon mobile hotspot wifi. Verizon wifi speed more than 6Mbps, ping 60 ms (tested from Dolphin browser without data compression)
The 6P Wi-Fi list indicates
Status- Connected
Signal strength- Excellant
Link speed- 72Mbps
Frequency- 2.4 GHz
Security- WPA2 PSK
The 6P phone "Update phone" screen proves internet access by connecting to Google terms of service and privacy policy web pages and allowing web page links to work. Even able to navigate to the Google search/sign in page from the 6P "Update phone" screen, but can't sign in because no keyboard pop up.
Verified the wifi network works for all my other devices. Tried forgetting/rescaning wifi network many times, tried with and without the Google Fi sim card many times, tried wiping cache, factory reset, and recovery modes many times. Tried leaving the 6P connected to the Verizon mobile hotspot for more than 15 hours. Tried the Fi LTE.
After more than 25 restart/initialization attempts, only the previously mentioned web pages display on the 6P "Update phone" screen, on wifi or LTE.

I have a 3g iphone 4.2. It was unlocked and jailbroken. I was using tmobile so I needed to have it unlocked but I recently changed to sprint. I wanted to restore the phone and find a way to use my tmobile sim card for sprint but when I clicked restore. It had the 1015 error . I tried it one more time and now it is stuck in restore mode. It shows an apple symbol with a bar underneath that is clear.

Yesterday my sister told me she had a problem with her iPhone.She was on 5.1.0 and updated OTA to 5.1.1. When the update was done, her iPhone rebooted and displayed the 'connect to iTunes' screen. She gives it to me, I do what I can and after several restores the only thing that shows up after a restore is the 'connect to iTunes' screen. In iTunes, it says it's in recovery mode and needs restoring....again.

I started to upgrade my ios today. Next time I pulled my phone out it wouldn't respond. After holding the home screen the connect to iTunes image popped up and wouldn't go away. When I got home and connected, I was told to restore. I did so, and after the thirty-minute software update, it was now returned to the connect to iTunes screen and is giving me the same message upon connecting to iTunes.

This morning I connected my iPhone 3GS to my computer and itunes told me it couldn't recognize my phone and needed to restore. This had never happened before but I clicked restore anyways but recieved an error message. After about an hour of trial and error going through Apple's diagnostics I fixed the problem by enabling Itunes in Norton Security, which had just updated recently so I thought that was the issue. Itunes began letting me begin the restore process (without showing an error/failure message) but simply freezes every time halfway through the update. Each time the bar at the top will will up about halfway and then stop forever. If anyone can help me with this issue I would really appreciate it! Obviously I use my phone everyday and it is completely unusable in it's current state.

I have a problem with my iPhone 5s (version 7.1.2)..i was about to restore the iPhone, but iTunes kept telling me to close ''find my iPhone'' and i tried severial times to do that but it didn't work..so i decided to delete it from iCloud, and delete everything.. And after that i turned it on DFU mode to restore it.
It starts fine with '' connect to iTunes'' and i did that, so it can restore its original settings, but when the load bar on my iPhone screen reach to the last, it just doenst move anymore, I've been waiting for hours, but nothing happens..and i've tried many different things, such as restart both mac and iPhone
Everything is up to date (iTunes, and my mac)i tried different computer, a windows and other usb cabel...i also tried Recboot, but nothing has worked.. and now its just stucked in ''connect to iTunes''

Hopefully someone can provide a step-by-step way to fix my problem without having to restore.I have a 32GB 3GS with firmware 3.1.2 (SHSH backed up on Cydia), jailbroken and unlocked using Blackra1n/Blacksn0w. I bought this phone back in July/2009 so this phone doesn't have the new bootrom.
The phone has been working fine for months. Just today, I was using the Facebook app and it looked like a call came in and was cut off. The call sent me back to the Springboard and I couldn't detect my cell network (Rogers). I brought up SBsettings and restarted the iPhone. When it restarted, it was stuck on the Apple logo. It sometimes take minutes after a crash for the springboard to come up so I waited and waited. After about 10 minutes I sense something is not right. I reset the iphone (power+home) and tried it again. No change. the iPhone is stuck at the Apple logo.
I hooked it up to my computer at work to see if the PC can recognize the phone being hooked up (and maybe I can SSH into it to fix it), but the iPhone doesn't get recognized.
So is there a way I could fix this problem without having to restore (I'm at work, so I can't do a restore until I get home tonight anyway). Also, if I'm forced to do a restore, what happens to my pictures and videos that's on my phone?
Edit: After having the iPhone stuck at the Apple logo and hooked up to the PC for the last 10 or so minutes, I see a wait icon appear frozen just below the Apple logo (they are almost on top of each other). But the wait icon is frozen and not moving. I'm not sure what this means but the iPhone seems to be stuck still.
