Stuck at Verifying iPhone restore

Hi,

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6 plus.

I manage to factory defaults my phone using dr.fone software (selected advance option - fully wiped) on mac & luckily I get to restore my iphone 6 plus from my backup in itunes 😓

iPhone Stuck On Verifying Update? Here Is The Quick Fix! - dr.fone

Hi I still havent fix it, but ill try change the battery by my self, maybe is that...😟

Update... I just talked with the Apple folks and they more or less told me to you know what. When I mentioned several others ran into the same problem, they tried to tell me there was no coincidence. I was told no one has reported this issue. Evidently they don't monitor/ read or consider reports on their Communities page valid.

Also interesting that someone from Apple has now clicked “recommend” to the answer above about taking the faulty phone to the Apple Store, which we did. So they are obviously and undeniably aware of the issue now.

I request you to clearly outline the steps you took. By hard reset do you mean that after pressing the power and home button to turn off the iPhone, you released both the buttons on seeing the apple logo or just released the power button?

Can someone confirm if they have the same problem with recovery mode and DFU mode, as I have?

I can make my phone enter DFU mode... (press home and power button for 10 seconds, release just power button while keeping home button pressed for another 10 seconds), however, I cannot make my phone enter itunes recovery mode (the one with connect to itunes logo). To enter recovery mode, you have to keep the home and power button pressed until one sees the logo with itunes and the lightning cable. I have tried it for about 2 minutes. No Go.

Have the same problem, Phone seems perfectly OK, but iTunes get stuck on "Verifying Iphone Restore" with the connected phone showing a black apple and empty progress bar.

Looked for other solutions, but have no idea if the money for programs that offer to reset th OS is working -- like Dr.Fone from https://www.wondershare.net/

I got same problem, stuck at verifying with apple logo and status bar, and after 5 seconds it back to restore mode loop, and a message unknown error (9). So, i did it more than 100 times, and its loop in the same way. Frustrated!

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 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...

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.

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.
