Why do we argue that iphone or iPad flashing skills should have each device owner? Does not god the owner of such an expensive and exclusive apparatus to run into the service center whenever the program level arose difficulties in the work of the iOS-device or Apple presented a new version of the iOS mobile operating system. Moreover, the process itself takes no more than 10 minutes and from the user, in most cases, a minimum of effort is required.
We consider the subject of today's instructions on the example of the iPhone, it will be easier for us, and you, dear readers.
What is the iPhone firmware?
If we are talking about the iOS-device firmware as a software component, the iPhone firmware is its software or operating system. Apple software for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad is called briefly iOS, which translated from English means iPhone Operation System.
If we talk about the iOS-device firmware as a process, the iPhone firmware is the process of restoring or updating the device software. The term "flashing" is most often used.
Options for flashing iPhone
2 processes include 2 processing of iOS-device:
- restoration;
- update.
In essence, the processes are identical that in the first one that in the second case, as a result of flashing on the iPhone, a new iOS will be installed. Moreover, the concept of "new" in the case of the iPhone recovery refers not to the version of the operating system, but to its state, in other words - "clean".
IPhone flashing methods
You can reflash the iPhone 2 ways, one of them is universal, i.e. Used both to restore and update, second - only for updating:
- IPhone firmware via iTunes;
In the first case, software is booting to a computer and using the iTunes mediacombine it is loaded directly to iOS-devices. Relevant for iOS 4.3.5 inclusive. For iOS 5 and above, a second method is possible, which implies iOS update directly from the device via the Internet via wireless network (Wi-Fi).
What is the difference between the recovery of the iPhone from the update?
As we said, the recovery or update of the iPhone refers precisely to the software component.
The iPhone restore is the process of restoring the source settings of the device. When recovering from the iPhone, all content (photos, video, music) and personal data (phone book, information from the calendar) will be removed, the device settings will be reset to factory.
If we speak in a nutshell, the iPhone restore is a reset device to the factory state and the installation of "clean" iOS is the latest version.
Under the update of the iPhone, the process of transition from the older version of iOS to a more new one is meant. As a result of updating, the entire content, personal data and settings will remain intact and iOS will be updated to the new version.
As you can see, the principal difference between the recovery and update of the iPhone consists only in the fact that as a result of updates, content and personal data from the phone are not deleted.
As a result, it turns out:
IPhone Recovery \u003d Content Delete + Reset Settings + IOS Update
As you know, the iPhone, like any other iOS device, can be in several modes provided by the manufacturer: Normal Mode, (Recovery Mode) and (DFU MODE).
It is possible to restore or update the iPhone located in the following modes:
- in normal mode;
- in Recovery Mode;
- in DFU mode.
How to restore iPhone through iTunes?
In order to restore the iPhone through iTunes we will need:
- the latest version of iTunes (preferably). At the time of writing the material, it is relevant to iTunes 11.1.5.5. ;
ITunes window that updating is not required
- pre-downloaded file with a version that is currently installed on the iPhone (optional).

Is it possible to reset the iPhone settings without updating iOS?
If we talk about the "clean" iPhone restore via iTunes, as a result, the latest version of iOS will be installed on the device, i.e. In fact, the firmware will be updated, and this is not always necessary, especially the owners of jailbroken devices. Why? Because the jailbreak for the actual version of the iPhone firmware appears, as a rule, with a large delay, and as a result, the iPhone update will entail the loss of the jailbreak.
Restoration / Updating "Local" (blocked under a specific cellular operator) iPhone with jailbreak entails:
- blocking the "locked" iPhone - you will not be able to connect the device to the mobile network of another operator;
- loss of jailbreak.
Fortunately, there is a way and remove all content from it without updating the IOS version and without the loss of jailbreak. We have already talked about the semirestore utility that allows you to clear the contents of the iOS-device and reset its settings to the factory without loss. Take advantage if you have "locked" or "jabraken" apparatus.
Update iPhone
We have already mentioned that there are 2 ways to update iOS-device for the latest version of iOS:
- C connection to a computer through iTunes.;
- Directly from iOS-device via wi-fi.
The first method is practically no different from the recovery of the iPhone on the current firmware version. The second allows you to update the iPhone to the current iOS without connecting to the Wi-Fi computer.
IPhone update from computer via iTunes

After the update, you will receive an iPhone with an actual iOS "on board", all user content and settings will be saved.
IPhone update via Wi-Fi
With the advent of iOS 5.0, the developers integrated the ability to update the firmware directly into the mobile operating system. Starting with iOS 5.0 and higher, the "Update software" menu is available in the IOS-Device settings. Update is available only when Internet connected to Wi-Fi. The connection capacity to the Internet connection of cellular networks does not allow you to update the iOS 2G or 3G connections.
1. On the iPhone, go to Settings – Maintenance – Software Update;
Go to update software in iPhone settings
2. Tap on " Download and install"And in the next window, accept the Terms of Use. Wait until the end of the process.

How to flash iPhone 4?
Any phone with time needs upgrades. Choosing a new firmware, you should pay attention exclusively on official releases that are safe for an expensive device.
In our article, we will look at how to flash iphone 4 in order to have more opportunities without hurting at the same time to the device itself.
Before replacing software should be prepared:
- The device itself with a charged battery;
- Cable for connecting;
- Competitive PC;
- ITunes program.
The manufacturer's company simplifted the firmware process as much as possible, thanks to which a regular user can cope with it.
Refracting smartphone
Options for flashing iPhone 4 using Recovery Mode is extremely simple and understood. Starting the firmware, you should clamp two buttons: "Home" and "Nutrition". Having hold them down for a few seconds, the white stripes can be seen on the screen. After that, the smartphone will turn on again, but now in Recovery mode. Confirmation of the correctness of the action will be an image of a cable and iTunes icon on the screen.
In this state, the phone is connected to the PC, which runs the iTunes application. The program will check the latest updates and help establish the latest firmware version. Then it will display the refraid device in Recovery mode. After that, the user can start the update process.
By pressing the SHIFT key and continuing to hold it, you need to click on the Restore point and select a new previously downloaded firmware. File updates will begin, after which it will be possible to use the device.
Most recently, the famous Canadian IOS programmer, known as the IH8Sn0W nickname to version 2.9.9. This application will be very useful for owners locked by Apple smartphones operator, because Only using you can get on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS with the subsequent unlock.
The main feature of this tool is to create a Custom firmware iOS 6.1 with a jailbreak without increasing the modem and with the possibility of activation (hactivation).
By minuses can be attributed to work only on the Windows operating system and support only old devices, such as iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.
What is the custom firmware without increasing the modem?
The fact is that when updating (recovery) iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 (and any other iPhone) on the official firmware, along with the update of the IOS itself, it is often updated and the modem firmware version that is responsible for the unlock of the smartphone.
For example, if you are locked on an iPhone 3GS operator with the legendary version of the modem from iPad - 06.15.00 (or any other), then when updating to the iOS 6.1 official firmware, at best you will receive a "software" (fixed) brick, but if Your iPhone 3GS is released after October 2011, then there is a huge chance to get a "hardware" brick, to restore which can only be replaced, the so-called modem part of the "flash drive". This pleasure is not cheap, the cost of replacement of "flash drives" ranges from $ 30 to $ 80.
From its own observations with 99.9% confidence, I can say that you do not "catch" the apartments failure of the modem part (flash drives) on the iPhone 3GS with 16 or 32 GB of memory. These models have ceased to be released until October 2011. But, with the iPhone 3GS version on 8 GB, you need to be more inactive, I repeat that when updating the iPhone 3GS 8GB, released after October 2011 to the official firmware - a huge chance of failure of the modem part of the smartphone.
The first signs of failure of the modem part - the absence of Settings Values IMEI, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. If the problem is called upgrading (restore) to the official firmware, then on the iPhone 3GS 16 and 32GB it can be cured programmatically, and on the iPhone 3GS 8GB is not always. Taking this opportunity, I invite (pah-pah-pah, of course) in our "Yablyk-Repair" — .
And so, the Custom IOS 6.1 firmware, obtained by using the ability to restore any mounted iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 operator without updating (enhancing) the modem firmware version. Those. In this case, only the IOS version increases, and the modem version remains not modified. What makes it possible to unlock the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 on iOS 6.1 firmware using a utility or turbo SIM-cards (Gevey, Rebel, etc.)
