Hi, I have an Iphone 5 (A1429) that randomly went into dfu mode… I wasn’t able to get out of DFU nor do a restore (itunes would hang on “waiting for device”). After charging the battery for a night (it gots charge now, checked it with voltmeter) i got it to a stage where it is dispaying the itunes logo with usb cable (recovery mode) but i can’t get out of that either (tried holding home and power for 10 sec, restarts and goes back into the same recovery mode) if i connect it to Itunes now, i get it to actually starting to restore but 10 seconds after the status bar displays on both my laptop and iphone, itunes stops with error 14. I already tried re-installing itunes, deleting old IPSW and tried other wifi/ computer. I’m desperate so pleas help, i’m willing to open up my IPhone and i’m in possession of a mac, windows and ubuntu PC. here is the log i get (only error section): [15:25:29.0492] Failure Description: [15:25:29.0492] Depth:0 Error:AMRestorePerformRestoreModeRestoreWithError failed with error: 14 [15:25:29.0492] Depth:1 Error:The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error 14 - Failed to handle data request message) [15:25:29.0492] Depth:2 Error:The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error 14 - Failed to handle image request)
just fixed the problem by doing a restore on an apple macbook… it looks like itunes for windows is not supported as much as the one on itunes as 3 windows pc’s gave me the same errror and the mac just restore without a problem
Change battery and try again. .
Try entering DFU mode to solve iPhone stuck in recovery mode: Plug your device into your computer Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping it off Hold the power button for 3 seconds Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.
