iPhone 5C only charge/connect in DFU mode - GSM-Forum

cafonabob1 · 05-14-2015, 17:10

Hello friends,

I have an iPhone 5C.

When battery completely drained it will charge until the phone turns on and then stop charging (4%). Does not detect in iTunes.

Then you put in DFU mode and it connects fine. Leave it plugged in for an hour, then exit DFU mode and now phone fully charged.

No liquid damage. Board is perfectly clean with no broken components. I tried a different charge port flex, same result

Any idea what component bad. Maybe gas gauge?

How to put iPhone in DFU mode?
Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"

Solution was flux on connector and hot air 220C for 30 seconds. Wash with thinner. Working perfectly.
