my iphone 5 shows no signs of life, and will not get out of dfu mode. when plugged into my pc, it gives the error message as shown in attachment. i have tried updating, and restoring, and it is a loop every time
iPhone 5, iOS 8.3
After I restore it brings the exact message up again.
If you Restored to Factory Conditions, checked if it eliminated the problem, then Restored From Backup and are still experiencing the issue, it's likely that the corruption is part of the backup, do restoration just brings it back.
In iTunes Preferences, select the Devices tab. It should list all the backups you have saved. If there is one that precedes this issue, Restore using that backup.
Otherwise, unless someone else has other suggestions, you'll likely have to restore as a new device and start from scratch. Whatever you have in iTunes will be synced once you set up the device with the same ID and all your iTunes, App Store, etc, purchases can be re-downloaded for free.
iphone needs to be restored to factory settings
