Chosen Solution

Hello, I am desperatly hoping someone could help! When upgrading to IOS 7 (.02, I think) my Iphone 4 got stuck in a restore loop, only giving me the option to restore back to Factory Settings, which I really don’t want to do. As my home button is hardly working, I read about my options a bit and have already tried Tinyumbrella, Rei Boot, even Redsn0w and nothing… I am not looking to preserve baseband or any of that more advanced stuff - my phone is not Jailbroken thus my only real concern is not loosing all my pictures, videos and recordings (I am a singer/songwriter and this is a LOT of important stuff in there…). The PC I last back up my phone is history and I hadn’t backed up on ICloud in ages, so my only true hope is that someone can help me find/walk me through a program that can pull it out of recovery loop and restart! I will be forever grateful! Many thanks! Help Please!!!

Hey Jazzygirly, I remember when this happened to me two years ago. I fixed it and here are some options you can try today:

  • When the TinyUmbrella window opens it will shows your iPhone on the left, as a connected device and gives a number. Click that number and click on the Exit Recovery button. Then wait till the apple logo appears and IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECT YOUR IPHONE FROM THE COMPUTER.
  • This video could help. -Let me know how it goes. -Hope this helped.
