iPhone 5 stuck on recovery mode error (9).

iPhone 5 stuck on recovery mode error (9). My iPhone 5 will not restore, shows a strange graphic under restore (See video), and shows "the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)," and goes back to restore mode. The phone has never been opened and no parts were replaced before this issue.

"SoS Mac, try what Apple suggests:

Error 9:

This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Also, read How to fix iTunes error 9. I hope this helps. Good luck."

Yes, it solved my problem too. Error (9) basically means there is a non original hardware installed, and the phone simply wont accept that and generates error 9. So what I did was turned it off, disconnected the LCD screen, home button and restored from iTunes with those two devices disconnected. It worked great, I disconnected both because I had replaced both devices and they were generic.

"Hi there,

It has been a week that i bought an iPhone 5. It has error 9..4014...3007...and with black screen.

But! Right now at 27/08/14 12:09am it's unlocked :D.

1) First no need to go on DFU mode, it's already on just by checking with tinyumbrella ""log"". it says ""DFU device connected"". => then close tiny.

What i will talk about is not ""THE"" solution, because ERROR 9 is from everywhere...

**some ppl would tell about changing front camera flex wire, plug off camera wire while restoring, change charging port, put on DFU mode...etc etc etc...*

2)About my computer :

_I put it on ethernet so no wifi. I use win 8 x64. *i have tried on XP, Win7, Win8, macbook 2014 retina and macbook i5 2013

_Install itune x64

_I've closed all apps

_Checked if host file was good

_Download firmware 7.1.2

3)About my iPhone 5

I went across a lot of site about error 9 iphone 5/5S/4/4S....

_I changed the charging port

_changed the battery

_changed The front camera

_Changed usb wire

4)Process

1_Unistall then install itune.

2_Reboot computer

3_Plug in your iPhone. Itune pop up with ""a recovery device .....detected...etc""

4_Do 2 or 3 ""hard reboot"". *If i did not do this error 4014 will pop up

5_Each time you hard reboot, don't forget to push ok on itune

6_Shift+restoration then select your firmware.

7_And what you need is to try this 1,2,3,4....10 times until it get better!

Don't know if this will work for everyone, but i hope it will !

Error 9 Resolved."
