iPhone 5s - Unable to go recovery mode

  1. Have charged my iPhone 5s to 100%
  2. Since i used this phone after long time, couldn't remember the passcode and now its disabled
  3. FingerPrint is mine, however since the iPhone has started it was looking for passcode
  4. After multiple attempts, iPhone is now disabled with message - "Connect to iTunes"
  5. Connecting on Macbook Pro, makes the iPhone buzz 3 times in a row and sometimes multiple times over
  6. Tried going to recovery mode by keeping the power button and home button pressed till i saw the apple logo and kept pressed but then the screen goes blank and doesn't enter in recovery mode.
  7. Tried this multiple times, recovery mode to reset the iPhone completely is just now working.

Any suggestions? Any alternatives? Request help please.

If you have forgotten your Lock Screen passcode, or if a message says that your device is disabled, learn what you need, what you get and what is lost.


You need a computer to follow these steps. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend.


Forgot? Click below to reset…

Regarding your data, If…

  1. You have an iCloud or iTunes latest backup, then there is nothing to worry. If not read more...
  2. You have synced your data to iCloud, then what you will get back is what you have synced to iCloud and uploaded to iCloud Drive; like the information that are synced and stored in iCloud are, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memosshared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive. (*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.)
  3. You have imported your Photos & Videos to Mac/PC then they are safely residing there on Mac/PC
  4. You have uploaded some of it to Cloud Drives using Files app (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc). The data remains there.
  5. You have not backed up or do not have latest backup, nor imported nor you have synced nor uploaded your data to cloud drives prior to forgetting the passcode then I am sorry, all your data is lost.
