Hi there..
My iPhone 4 will not boot into iOS Home menu (look at the video).
When the power cable is connected the iPhone boots up initially and displays the apple logo for ~3.5 seconds, then it goes to a blank screen for another ~2 seconds and the process repeats (indefinitely it seems - at least at this point).
When the power cable is removed the screen instantly goes blank again.
Nothing happens when pressing the power button when the iPhone is not connected.
I can get the iPhone into recovery mode by holding the home button before I plug it in, and then it stays on the recovery screen, not coming on and off like the apple logo was earlier. Again, when I unplug the cable it goes back to a powerless blank screen.
The iPhone is detected on iTunes in recovery mode and I have attempted to restore it, both using my MacBook and windows PC. Each time it results in an error at the point where the iPhone appears to restart. Error 2001 on the macbook and 21 on the windows pc.
Latest iTunes version, restarted computer several times, tried different USB ports, change USB cable.
I was also able to get the iPhone into DFU mode where the screen was blank but it was recognized in iTunes as being in recovery mode. Same situation as before, the device will not restore and I get various error codes across my mac and pc.
I have since opened the device up and confirmed that the battery is in-fact securely attached to the logic board.
It is also worth mentioning that my iPhone is no longer under warranty.
My thoughts at this point is that the battery itself is dead, and won't hold any charge which is why the device shuts off immediately after removing the power cable, does this seem reasonable and should I order a new battery
HOW TO FIX IT?
Dont panic!
The remedy is quiet simple, follow these steps to get the iPhone or iPad to home screen to power it down so it has sufficient time to charge up and boot normally and get off the endless loop.
- Plug into wall socket to get it charging.
- Wait until the apple logo appears and wants to boot up.
- QUICKLY hold down home button and reset/sleep button at the same time until it reboots.
- Release buttons now. should now power down and reboot
- Repeat step 3 at least 30 to 40 times which is about 10 minutes in duration everytime you see the logo appear on the screen.
- Now Let iPad/iPhone boot up fully, should see home screen with about 2% battery life
- QUICKLY hit the rest/ sleep button down for about 2 to 5 seconds.
- Swipe the screen to when slider appears to switch off the iPad/iPhone.
- This will now power down the iPad/iPhone which now will not reboot by itself so it can now charge without any interruption’s.
- Allow battery to charge for a least an hour or two without trying to put it on.
- Switch the iPad/iPhone on
- You should now have about 10 to 20% battery Life
- Power it down again by holding the reset/sleep button down again and swipe the screen to power down, let it charge fully to 100% now which will take few hours
- Enjoy your iPad/iPhone again
