Hi I bought this phone from a friend . The phone says “IPhone disabled connect to iTunes” so I looked up videos on how to do it & I turned my iPhone off , held the home button & plugged it in . It went to recovery mode . I hit restore on iTunes & it says it will take about 60 mins to complete , so I waited & waited when it was at about 45 mins remaining , my iPhone turned back on to the screen that says phone is disabled , & on iTunes it pops up must need passcode …. Blah blah blah . The restoring is still counting loading and counting down.. What should I do ? Leave it how it is until the restoring is complete or does the iPhone have to be in the recovery mode to restore it ? Idk I’m confused , I just want to get his phone working :/
When it gets into recovery mode, there is a timer that will automatically reboot itself out of it which is shorter than downloading the iPhone firmware (iOS Operating System) on a 4.5 Megabyte per second connection or slower. Just simply boot the phone into recovery mode again once it’s finished downloading and click restore.
