Hi Osky Im really having trouble getting my iphone 4 out of the recovery loop. I always get the error 16 with itunes. I already tried 3 times with this method and it didnt work. I unscrewed and removed the battery connector and connected it again - for 3 times. Then I tried to restore in DFU and it didnt work. Do you have any other suggestions that could help me ? I would be damn greatful... Im really trying now for weeks and im getting to the end of my patience with my iphone and apple in general

Update to latest iTunes before proceeding on

2. Use [third party software] to enter your device into recovery mode to fix this.

3. If still not work, try to update your iPhone on a Mac, because it is possibly the problem of Windows iTunes, so operate on a Mac to see if problems fixed.

Reading in a forum Apple several people made ​​it out of that mistake again by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery several times and returning to restore with DFU.

Step # 7: You see the screen of your model will go on white or red and IREB may give an error, this is normal.

Step 8: Now go back iTunes, this will detect the iDevice in DFU mode. Press the Restore (Restore) at the same time leaving tight SHIFT key (Windows) or ALT / OPTION (OSX).

Step 9: Select the customized firmware.

Ready, let iTunes now complete the restoration process.
