I have tried every trick that I know of to restore the software on my iphone 5s. Ill go into detail below...
Currently I am running a jailbroken version of ios 7.0.6. I looked into the jailbroken forums, however this is more of a technical question so it was placed in this forum.
I've started running into issues with my phone not automatically finding wifi signals, as well as bluetooth signals, and sometimes not being able to connect to them at all, when they are familiar connections to the phone that have worked for months (including while jailbroken). I am finding that rebooting the phone usually fixes the issue, however, the wifi/bluetooth have recently stopped working all together. I am unsure if this is due to the jailbreak, or perhaps the phone getting older. Either way, my priority is to restore to a non-jailbroken version, and update to the newest ios.
Here is what I have tried:
- A basic restore within iTunes (iTunes default feature is to restore and update, which is fine, however the software download never moves past 0%. I have tried turning off antivirus, turning off firewall, and using googles DNS servers based upon other similar issues that were resolved in these manners)
- A manual restore within iTunes (When loading the past .ipsw files that are in my 'library' folder, iTunes is throwing a 'does not have compatible firmware' error)
- A restore through DFU mode (still requires iTunes to provide the default restore and update, and same issue on the software download)
I distinctly remember having to use a workaround for downloading software updates through iTunes, however I cant seem to think of what exactly I did. I remember (pre-jailbroken) just downloading the update directly from the phone because it was so much easier. However, I'm puzzled that with anti-virus/firewall down and using a static DNS, that it still is not allowing the software download.
Looking for any additional ideas you may think of.
Appreciate any help!
