hey mate, I guess I may have figured it out. I was having the same problem, I tried hard reboot and restore, in the first go it got stuck, saying confirmation needed from phone, then I repeated the same process(hard reboot and restore) but without removing the cable, this time it got extracted and went bit forward, then stuck at verifying, then I did the same thing the third time, this time went bit forward and got stuck at apple logo, and showed progress bar(hope comes in), at the fourth repetition progress bar went to complete end and bingo it started restoring the factory setting.
I have no idea why/how it worked but it did, and my phone is alive again, probably it's worth a try for you too, I mean what do you have to lose, wish you luck.
I have the same issue but with iPhone iOS 11.3.1,
Today my iPhone 7 turn off, after that don't won't to start, so I should connect him to iTunes,
I tried everything, backup, update, dhu, two usb cable and two different computers but it still stuck at verifying iPhone restore ? Any Idea ?
It is really important
I do not use any USB hub, I tried different USB port in my Mac and Sony with Windows, but nothing . I waiting seven hour but it stuck on the same place, Any idea ? Someone know how to install IPSW system on iPhone without iTunes ?
I have tried pro version of reiboot pro but it failed.
If u come accross a free tool, let us know.
It seems this is only going to increase as it looks lile some kind of conmector, commector chip or logic board fault.
Ill wait till apple takes responsibility and replaces them without charge.
I had this same issue. I opened my iTunes, connected my phone, then my iTunes turned my phone on but instead I turned it off. Once it was turned off I held the "power" button and the "home" button until the Apple sign showed on the screen. I continued to hold it until iTunes popped up a notification saying I needed to restore my phone. Then I clicked ok and it restored it successfully. I had made 5 previous attempts and it had kept getting stuck in "verifying iPhone restore" ... so glad it was able to restore!
Good luck!
I tried suggested method multiple times but no luck...
I have the same problem and I was just chatting w/ an advisor. I ended up wasting one hour to just him telling me that he'll schedule the genius bar app.. So disappointing...
had the same issue.....thought of fixing it today...
went into DFU mode and started the restore....it was almost looked like stuck at verifying stage but this was 2nd time so i waited for 45 min or so then it passed that stage and started restore to be completed...
i think you have to try DFU and restore until you get it working...let's say 4-5 times is a good try.....
Had the exact same issue.
> Original battery was toast. Phone restarted every couple of minutes
> Bought non-OEM battery on eBay.
> New battery worked a bit.
> Still restarting.
> Apple store.
> Won't fix. Not original battery. Won't fix anything. Apple will not touch my phone now.
> Connect phone to iTunes to reset all data, maybe restart issue?
> iTunes does a thing, like normal.
> Phone get's loading bar (for restore). Stops. Dead. Just like this post. I don't know why.
> Message eBay seller.
> Sends new batt.
> New non-original batt. Install.
> Same iTunes issue.
And dennn,
The last thing I did before my phone started restoring was removed dust from the lighting port. There was only a small amount. *Shugs shoulders* mayyyybe that was it? I held the cord flexed upward to help the pins make a better connection while the restore happened as maybe it was a pin issue? The restore happened and now I am in the testing phase to see if the restart issue continues. Interesting to note the new battery did not change the iTunes issue. AND the phone restored with non-OEM battery.
Battery issue -> 2.5 months, ongoing.
iTunes issue -> 1 month, complete.
Unrelated, what's left is I need to replace my charging port assembly. The ribbon was cut and I have no headphones. And the screen works but has seen better days.

All of these steps had been done prior to my post. Following gustavofromflumicino's step, 5 was 'Apple no fix, buy refurb 6+ for $400'. A refurb wasn't necessary.
I will add that since my post about it, the phone has no issues at all in regards to software, battery, and random shutdowns. I haven't charged it yet. Still, 20% left.
Hi,
I think the best thing to do for you is to go into your local apple store, and get them to look at it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the pins are on the bottom.? Pull up puts pressure down on the pins.
2 updates...
Try to change your data cable and/or use tool called "ReiBoot"
Has anyone figured this out? This is insane. I have tried everything. Come on Apple!
That's concerning since we haven't simply griped about this issue here, but also through official channels at Apple stores.
I also have this problem and I have tried all the possible hard reboot and restore via iTunes. It's still stuck on the "verifying..." - has anyone figured it out?? Thanks!
Stuck at Verifying iPhone restore
