Stuck at Verifying iPhone restore

Hello,

We here at Agent Mobile just discovered something relating to this as we had a number of iPhone 6's in for repairs and deal a lot with these advanced issues. After replacing the battery we were stuck with this same problem (Battery replaced was OEM certified). We feel this is related to an OEM apple battery having the correct voltage and amps to continue the update. After temporarily putting the original depleted batter back in iPhone, the restore process went smoothly. So if anyone is having issues and you still have your OEM battery that is a place to start. If you have never done repairs to your iPhone there may be a deeper issue. Seeing this issue still discussed in 2018 we felt is was needed to mention our resolve solution.

Thanks,

Josh

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.

Just now, I already fixed my god forsaken phone with the same problem, All I did is i quoted above, while pressing the home button and power button, every a couple of second, until the iphone finish filling up its loading bar on screen.

Now im restoring it to my last save. It took me almost 1month to discover/found my solution, as I given up hope. hehe..

Hope this one helps.

1) Disable your antivirus and try again -> if issue persist ↓

2) Try new USB CABLE -> if issue persist ↓

3) Attempt recovery mode as per Se non riesci a eseguire l'aggiornamento o il ripristino di iPhone, iPad o iPod touch - Supporto Apple -> if issue persist ↓

4) Attempt DFU mode as per https://www.imore.com/how-to-iphone-ipad-dfu-mode -> if issue persist ↓

5) Visti an ARS or AASP Apple - Find Locations

Well, I think before going to somewhere else, you should do some homework that can help you to get out of the error you are coming across on your iPhone. I would like to give you few manual methods that works effectively to fix iPhone stuck at Verifying Update screen.

Follow the below methods as mentioned:

Method 1: Do hard reset of your phone

When you come across such error then its obvious thing that you cannot access your device as it get stucked. In this situation, try to do hard reset of your phone as this will help your device to work properly as before.

• For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, just press and hold Volume down + Power button at the same time
• For iPhone 6 or older version, just hold down Home button and Power button together

Method 2: Press Sleep/Wake Button

Many times doing hard reset does not work for many users, so you can try pressing Sleep/Wake button option for get out of iPhone stuck on verifying update screen. Only you have to press Sleep/Wake button for few times

There are even some other methods like:

Method 3: Reset network settings

Method 4: Delete iOS update and download again

Method 5: Update iPhone via iTunes

Method 6: Verify using cellular data

Method 7: Restore iPhone from iTunes Backup

Method 8: Put your iPhone into DFU Mode

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.

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/

Hello,

I was linked to this thread from a thread I had started on the same problem. Here is my find...

I purchased Reiboot based on a suggestion on this thread. reiboot's pro version didn't help. Reading on the internet, a few days back, I came across information that faulty chargers or lightning cable could ruin the charging system, which in turn would mean that even while the battery inside the iPhone is working fine, it won't charge.

I investigated my original apple lightning cables and also took a look inside the lighting port on the iPhone (6s plus, in my case) to see if there are any signs of burnout. What I found is that one of the cables (I have about 3/4 genuine ones and I dont use non-genuine ones), which I had connected to a transcend powered usb 3.0 hub had a black mark (almost like a small dot) exactly on one of the 8 connector 'pins'. Now, even the lightning port on the iPhone, had a similar blackish, burnt like, mark on the connector pin corresponding to the the pin on the cable, when looked at towards the side of the home button (upwards), where the port has the pins that connect to the pins on the lightning cable's socket.

I think this is either a case of a faulty chip inside the 6s plus which maybe causing over current or over voltage, or maybe some bad code in iOS11 which controls these chips, or could be a problem with either the lightning cable or the transcend hub.

I am going to post pictures in a day or two once I run a check on all the cables and the connector pin on my apple lightning dock.

Here is a link to my thread...

Updated to iOS 11.0.0, 2 days later iPhone (6s Plus) stuck on boot logo and wont recover either.

very useful!!! My phone is alive again! thank u!

Did it make any difference?

apple is scamming us

so we can buy their new model iPhones

Did you get this resolved. I have the same issue with my iPhone 6. Tried recovery multiple times but it always hang at the exact place ('Verifying iPhone restore....'). I brought the phone to the Apple Store and the Tech there said that they cannot fix this and I need a replacement instead. Needless to said, I took the phone back; and see (and hope) if anyone in the community has resolved this issue.

BTW, I looked into the iPhoneUpdater log files and it basically shows progress up to 'Competed checkpoint id: 0x619'.

looks like this is a problem with your phone after updating. Apple has even told one of the users on this page they need a replacement phone cos of this. Go to your local Apple store they are the only ones who are going to be able to help you here. If you don't have one close by etc then you can call Apple and they will be able to help you from there.
