I tried to let it for a couple of hour but nothing happened.


I already tried to edit my host file by adding and removing:

#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com

#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com


but its not even working...


and i cannot even enter Recovery Mode (with itunes logo and charging cord in the bottom)...

i did the combo thing like:

Pressing Power/Button simul for 10 sec. and release Power Button but continue Home button for another 10 sec. but nothing either..


Pressing Home Button for 3-5 sec and connect to PC with itunes, but no itunes logo and connector in my Iphone Screen (its just stays in DFU mode)... I even tried to trigger Silence Button...



So I was thinking it is an hardware or battery problem so I opened my Iphone and disconnect/reconnect my battery, but it doesn't solved my problem....






PLEASE HELP ME ITS JUST STRESSING ME OUT LOL :-(



Your reply will be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance...

iPhone 5, iOS 10.3.3

It is usually not a good sign, try restoring with only a battery and charging flex connected. Disconnect the display, the power button flex, camera and everything else.


If it’s an option, try restoring with an another battery, that could case similiar issues.
