How to restore and recover your iPhone
Reinstall Mac OS X on your device with recovery mode.
Ordinarily, if you want to reinstall OS X on your iPhone, you just plug it into your computer and click "Restore" in iTunes.
However, restoring works only if iTunes recognizes your iPhone. If that's not happening, then recovery mode is the answer. Recovery mode lets iTunes know that the iPhone is ready to be restored. Restoring your iPhone puts it into an almost completely factory-fresh state that includes the erasure of all data, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data that was added to your iPhone after its purchase. Because the loss of all your data can be inconvenient at best, restoring should be your last resort after trying any applicable troubleshooting techniques.
The only more drastic restoration beyond restoration is DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
NoteAt times, you might want to use restore mode even when you're not restoring. For example, you may also be asked to enter restore mode by some hacking applications, because it puts the iPhone in a state where it waits for an application to talk to it, whether that's iTunes or a less official app. And you can back out of restore mode easily. There are a couple of ways to get into recovery mode: Make sure that your phone is off. If your phone is working normally, just hold down Power for five seconds and then slide to turn off. If your device can't boot or is hung, you'll turn it off by holding Power and Home until it powers off. -
Hold down the Home button (Figure B, “Hold down Home until you are told to let go”). Connect it to your computer via USB. -
Keep holding the Home button until your phone displays a screen similar to Figure C, “A device in recovery mode”, then let go.
If iTunes is running, it'll restore your device, as shown in Figure D, “iTunes notifying you that it's found a device in recovery mode”.
The next step, if you're going through with it, is to click Restore (Figure E, “iTunes has made the Restore option available”).
In many cases, you will be option-clicking (Mac) or shift-clicking (Windows) the Restore button. This will allow you to restore to the firmware of your choice. Figure F, “Loading a firmware image” shows the firmware selection dialog.
If you change your mind about recovery mode, it's easy to get out of with a hard reset. If you just leave the device for a while, it will power down, at which point you can simply turn it back on. To speed things up: Disconnect the iPhone or iPod from the computer. -
Hold down the Power and Home buttons until you see the boot logo (Figure G, “Hard reset: press and hold both Power and Home buttons”). -
When you see the boot logo, let go (Figure H, “Let go of both buttons”).
It's almost guaranteed that within your first week of iPhone hacking you will think you've "bricked" your phone. Luckily, it is very easy to fix. When all else fails to bring back your iPhone's functionality, look to the Restore function, either in recovery mode or DFU mode to solve your problem. This trusty technique should fix almost any imaginable hacking- or non-hacking-related iPhone issue.
NoteFully restoring your iPhone to a factory state (including firmware) is called virginizing. Restoring an iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPod touch in DFU mode with an Apple-provided firmware image is all you usually need to do to virginize your phone.
