Q: can't restore iPhone, stuck on apple logo...

I have a iPhone 4 and was working fine until today, it suddenly switched itself off and I can't turn on unless plugged in to a computer or charger.

It will stay stuck on the apple logo no matter what, and switch itself off after a few seconds.

It is currently in DFU mode and I have tried restoring my iPhone on itunes, when it gets to "Preparing iPhone for restoring" the iPhone switches off instantly and I get the error "the iphone could not be restored...(2001)"

I've tried this 4 times and it always happens.

The iPhone switches off immediately when un plugged....

 

What should I do, what could be the problem? Should I take to repair??

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2

    Hello Mari1996x,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like there’s an issue turning on your iPhone 4, and you’re also seeing a ‘2001’ alert when attempting to restore the device with iTunes. The article linked below provides information and troubleshooting tips that will resolve most issues like the issues that you’ve described.

    Check your USB connections

    Errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014. You might also see a message that includes "invalid response."

    If you still see the error message, check for hardware issues.

    Hi Jason, thank you for the reply!

    I have chatted online with Apple Support yesterday and he told me the same thing.

    I will try on a different computer, since the other options did not work.

    If it continues, the iPhone is experiencing hardware difficulties and I will have to take to Apple Genius Bar for a repair/replacement.

    Take care

    Mari
