iphone wiped by i tunes restore

[NorthernDave]

If you don’t want to spend too much have look at the Huawei pnoes and their budget line Honor. I like mine. If you want cheap as chips but still good consider the Moto models like the C plus and E plus, the latter if you want a big screen, plus it has a huge battery which lasts up to three days. Recently bought one for a friend and they are very happy with it.

Motorola are fantastic value, well specced. I'm currently using a MotoG4 Plus and it does everything you need and more.
The new G5 is even better apparently.

Can't you jailbreak it?

I dont think i can do anything with it . Itunes started the restore by wiping the operating system from the phone and then reinstalling it but it didnt re install anything . I have no idea if there is anything on the phone as i only get a message telling me to connect to itunes .

I think RedSnow has a "Recovery Fix" utility that sorts out phones being upgraded to a newer OS that get stuck?

My Huawei

I heard they were gonna open a factory in Newcastle, where the phones will be re-branded as Hawaay

I tried so hard not to jump on the Apple roundabout. In fact I was the last of my family and friends to submit.
I don't have any words of wisdom, but, I personally would do a lot of Apple/internet/forum searching before resigning the phone to the category of a brick.

Well i'm being forced to buy something now that apple have totally wiped my working phone and turned it into a useless brick of glass .

You may be able to hard reset it without iTunes/Computer. Give this a try.

Assuming you have it turned on and are prepared for it to be fully wiped/reset:

1. Press and hold the HOME button (at the bottom of the phone) and the SLEEP/WAKE button (on top of the phone) simultaneously
2. Keep holidng both buttons whilst the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3. Let go when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.

I bought my Moto because the interweb said it was the only affordable phone that could match iPhone for photo quality. I haven't been disappointed.

Take this pic of a runner, eg:

Not bad.

But it's only when you see the original from which this section has been cropped that you get the full picture:

TBH I don't think my old Nikon DSLR could match that...and the phone's with me 24/7.

You can't go far wrong with Moto.

I'm not particularly into photography but I am impressed with that, which Moto is that?

I love Apple stuff. Android is for losers









@Markymark made me post that.

Don't agree with everything @Markymark says, but, on this, he is spot on, I love all of my Apple gadgets.

Tried everything from the hard reset to shouting at it . Apple support thinks its my pc's antivirus that is the problem

It's the Moto X Pure Edition, and it never ceases to amaze me. Even in poor light, you can trust it to bring home the bacon:

I got 3 photos in a local photo exhibition using the camera on my mobile (Sony Xperia). One of the photos even sold for a tenner
