Error 4005 fix for Windows 7

If your iPhone is stuck in Recovery Mode, this fix should restore your iPhone to the factory settings, but a backup should have been created automatically when the OS was updated so you will have the option to restore from backup once the repair is made.

If iTunes is open, exit iTunes

Disconnect iPhone from computer USB

Click Start menu on desktop

Go to Control Panel

Go to Programs

Go to Programs and Features

Select Apple Mobile Device Support and click repair

Connect iPhone to computer USB (device should install automatically)

Open iTunes

When prompted, click restore iPhone

OS should install now and restore factory settings

iPhone will automatically restart when OS is successfully installed, and you will have the option to setup as new or restore from backup. If you wish to keep your files and settings, click restore from backup and wait until your iPhone is fully synced. If there are any discrepancies in your contacts or whatever, you will have the option to choose the correct contact to sync now or sync later. Once your iPhone is fully synced, follow the prompts on the iPhone and that's it! Now the next step will be figuring out how to use your iPhone with the fancy new OS!

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

i uninistalled my Apple mobile device support program to try and reinstall the drivers. Another error message popped up Couldn't "No drivers available for: Apple mobile device(Recovery Mode)". Maybe this is the problem no drivers available for the an iphone in recovery mode?

My phone was set to backup to my computer, not iCloud on the last update that caused a reset to both my phone and pad, so, sorry, but Agehanon's solution didn't work for me.

Thank you! This worked on an iPhone 6+ my wife had used for years on her MacBook, but I had taken it a year ago and loaded iOS 10.2 on it from a Windows PC; until I tried to put 10.3.1 on it last night from PC (to pair to a series 2 Apple Watch). Stupid Windows 'bricked' the phone (phone stuck on the 'illuminated' black display after software extraction in iTunes; waited 30 minutes, hard reset = brick!). After trying DFU mode, rebooting the PC, etc I plugged it into my wife's iMac and it restored\updated in 25 minutes or so (relief!). I then plugged it up to the Windows PC to restore my backup settings\apps\music\etc. Stupid Windows!
