Chosen Solution

Ok so nearly two weeks ago i plugged my phone into the headphone jack of some old stereo system my uncle has, i was trying to set it up and in the process the phone fell out of my hand, i was sitting down so it was about a 2-3 foot drop. i picked the phone up and it was on the boot up screen (white background and Black apple), it was taking abnormally long to boot up so i held the home and power button, which i now know was a TERRIBLE idea. fast forward to the present and the phone is stuck in DFU mode, when i try to restore it the screen turns on with a black background and white apple and then iTunes gets stuck on “waiting for iPhone” and gives me the error 4005. I’ve tried changing the USB cable, changing the USB port, using a different windows PC and even a mac, all with the latest version of iTunes and no it was not a host file thing. I’ve tried every software solution that my research has brought me and the problem still persists so that leads me to believe it’s a hardware issue so i’m wondering what part is it that i have to replace to fix it, i’m a bit of a tinkerer and i’d rather avoid getting price gouged at a repair shop. Sorry if the post was too much of a read but i figured it’d be best to provide all the details. Thank you in advance for any and all help

My advice is take it to get the chip reballed

If you tried the step without the screen and still error 4005 Why the step after with the flex cables? They in the screen???

Wheelie bin time i think

Hi guys, I am having the same problem. I have an iPhone 5c that is stuck in DFU mode and doesn’t reboot properly. The strange thing is that it’s like dead when connected to my Macbook Pro 2016 (using original USB-C to Lightning cable), but when connected to power, it turns on and reboots constantly on the apple logo. I tried the following things without success:

  • booting it up attached to the current and with the battery disconnected
  • changing motherboard with another iPhone 5c.
  • connecting the battery of an iPhone 5s instead of the (maybe dead) original one
  • connected to my Mac without screen
  • changed the original, cracked screen with an aftermarket one
  • changing Mac with different macOS. Needless to say that I let i charge up for while before doing everything and that the ports on my macbook are working (tried all 4 of them). I really don’t know what it could be. Maybe a faulty flex cable or the lightning port?

Hi guys, I have an Iphone 6s in the recovery mode with black screen (without Iphone logo). I tried to update or restore it with Itunes (with LCD and disconnect the LCD) many times, but I couldn’t restore it and error code 4005 appeared. I also changed the battery, but it repeated again. I would be so grateful if you can help me to solve this problem. Thank you.
