So my phone has been stuck in Recovery Mode for quite some time. But every time I open iTunes and try to go through the process where I can Update or Restore, my serial number suddenly becomes unreadable or ’non-applicable’ and the entire buffering stops. In fact, it buffers to the very end with ‘Downloading Firmware’ and seems as though it has an inch left. What would be the reasons behind this, such as why it can’t extract the software. Has my phone slipped into a state where iTunes can’t read it? Thanks a lot for those who answer!

This could be caused by a number of reasons but I would suspect a faulty NAND if it cannot read the SN. I don’t think the outcome will change but you could ·         Put your phone into DFU mode and try a restore with iTunes. ·         Try restore with a program called 3uTools.

Do you receive any error number?

Try flash the phone with 3utools it-s more simply program and sould work. Put the phone in dfu mode.
