Iphone 4 stuck in DFU - GSM-Forum

bc03productions · 04-24-2014, 05:38

I recently purchased an Iphone 4 Verizon 8gb from ebay so I do not have any shs blobs and I am not sure what ios it is running on. The iphones is not water damaged. The phones screen is off and when I plug it into a computer it automatically is recognized as being in soft DFU mode. If I try to do a restore I get stuck on waiting for iphone and the phones screen displays the apple logo with a empty loading bar. This happens in both regular DFU mode and soft DFU mode. If I try and jailbreak the phone using redsn0w it throws an error and put the device into recovery mode. While in recovery mode, I have tried restoring using itunes. Initially I got error 3194 so I went and edited the host file which corrected the error 3194 and when I tried restoring again itunes gave me error 21.

I have used TinyUmbrealla to try and fix recovery and that results in the screen sometimes turning white and other times I get text that states "Unable to find gBdevList Unable to find fs_mount Unable to find fs_unmount Unable to find fs_load _file Greenpois0n initialized". After being stuck on that screen for a while it will either boot back into soft DFU mode or it loads a page of code, get stays like that for a while and then reboots to soft DFU. I'm not sure if I have exhausted all my options but if you have any suggestions please help. Thanks

There are 2 methods to help you recover deleted photos on iPhone.
1. Directly scan and recover photos from iPhone
a) Connect your iPhone to the computer
b) Enter DFU mode and scan iPhone
c) Preview and recover iPhone photos

2. Scan and extract iTunes backup to recover iPhone photos
a) Scan your iTunes backup for iPhone 4S
b) Preview and recover iPhone photos
c) Do backup well
