    The article came out before 2007.

     

    You need to skip step 2 because that step is for the iPod only.

     

    You want to copy and paste which computer system applies to you in step 3 into your start menu search engine and follow the rest of the steps

     

    After you finish you should follow the DFU Mode link and restore

    Recovery mode automatically installs software and updates firmware

     

    DFU Mode allows the software and installs new firmware.....

    Hi Katie, "DFU Mode allows the software" mean what??

     

    If I confident with my existing downloaded firmware (IOS 5.0.1 built 9A406) which I believe does not have problem, then can I just directly restore using DFU mode without delete the existing firmware & download a new firmware again?

     

    How to access to Recovery Mode instead of DFU Mode? Is it almost same procedure with accessing into DFU Mode but the difference is DFU mode is releasing the sleep/wake button in black screen before apple logo appears but the Recovery Mode is releasing the sleep/wake button in apple logo screen after the apple logo appears?

     

    Secondly, iphone screen will remain black after accessing DFU mode but in Recovery mode, it will turn into screen with itunes & usb cable pictures appear, right?

     

    Will it be IOS 5.0.1 built (9A406) has bug problem but IOS 5.0.1 built (9A405) no problem? Because my friend's iphone 4 & even 3GS with IOS 5.0.1 built (9A405) so far has no problem. So, If iphone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 built (9A405) really no problem, then maybe Quitin might downgrade to IOS 5.0.1 built (9A405) & see the response.

     

    Tq Katie!!

    Hi Quitin, what IOS version u having the problem & using now? 5.0.1 (9A406) or 5.0.1 (9A405)?

     

    What version u used before u had all of these problem? IOS 4 or 5? Because last time u mentioned that u do not have these kind of problem before u upgraded to IOS 5, right?

     

    What is the date u bought your iphone 4 in Qatar?

    I believe im on my ios 4 then upgraded to ios 5.

    My friend bought this march 2011.

    I checked my serial number that you give, then here is the info

    Generation : 4

    Production year : 2011

    Production week : 8 (february)

    Factory : 85 (china)

    Machine model : iphone3,1

     

    Then it says : So far 18 hardware problems have been entered for this model.

Your email address is needed to prevent fake entries but your address will not be shown on our site. Please give a brief desciption of the problem with this machine (max 500 characters):

    No worry Quitin. U just tell them what are ur problems & see what is the responce from them. But don't let them repair or etc first. I believe that is not your hardware issue cause I just bought my 4S on Jan 2012 but also have the same problem with your March 2011 iphone 4 problem. Somemore, u mentioned that before upgrading to IOS 5, u got no problem. There must be something wrong with IOS 5 or IOS 5.0.1.

     

    Anyway, what IOS version u having the problem & using it now? IOS 5 or IOS 5.0.1 (9A406) or 5.0.1 (9A405)? U can check via Setting-General-About-Version.

    If you are not going to delete the firmware file there is no reason to place in recovery mode or DFU Mode

     

    You do as you please

     

    This is the last procedures Apple Support would attempt to resolve the issue before servicing the phone

     

    Perhaps you should go to your carrier and see if there are issues on their end too

    Ic. Can I just move the firmware folder file to other location in my PC as my backup purpose without deleting it & then download the new firmware?

     

    Actually, previously I don't know there is DFU mode exists (is it DFU mode is in black screen condition?). All the while I restore firmware using Recovery Mode only (is it Recovery Mode is with iTunes & USB cable logo?).

     

    The latest firmware restoration i did previously was using Recovery mode & download a new firmware. Is it DFU mode is better than Recovery mode for this issue solution? If so, I will do it again using DFU mode & delete & download a new firmware again.

     

    Tq Katie
