iPhone 4: How to Hard Reset on iPhone

Is your iPhone 4 smartphone becoming unresponsive and won't power on not matter what you do? You can try to perform a hard reset.

Resetting the iPhone can be done in 2 ways, either a soft reset or a hard reset.

1. On your iPhone 4 press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for about ten seconds. After ten seconds you should see the Apple logo showing up.

2. Now try to run you phone again and see if it works.

Some people have jail break their iPhone and find that after a hard reset the still can't get the device back to a working order. If you have jailbreak or installing some Cydia app then try this:

1. Plug in the device to the computer and start iTunes.

2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake + Home for 10 seconds.

3. Once you see the Apple Logo appears, release the power and continue to hold down the home button for about 5-10 seconds. Look in iTunes and see if your device have shows up.

4. iTunes will notify you that you are now in Recovery mode. Click on OK to continue with the restore process.

5. Next press and hold on the SHIFT button and click on the Restore button. Select the latest IPSW file and the prompt appears.

To learn more about IPSW file go here.

6. iTunes should now attempt to get your device back to the manufacturer setting.

7. iTunes will later give you an opportunity to restore you content from the PC. Every time when you do a sync, iTunes makes a backup so you can choose the latest backup from the sync.

If you have forgot your password then you will need to do this as reset will not work: iPhone 4: Fix Forgot Password

Like this Tip?

Once your iPhone is resetted, if you have a backup of your data you can also restore it back to your iPhone. But be aware that all your data store after the backup on your iPhone will be erased if you restored.

Now that you have your problem solved, you should take a look at how you can protect it with these top 10 cases, Protect iPhone 4S With Top 10 Cases.

  • paulcb  - incorrect posting
    A Reset will not erase any data or settings. Using the "Erase All Content and Settings" feature will. Get your facts straight before posting.
  • John
    thats right reset will not erase data, but after restoring all data is lost.
  • Alijan  - Yeah right
    Hard reset worked, but it is not deleting anything, in fact it is not hard resetting it is like reset the memory or flash maybe.

    Just did it myself. And No - call history and SMS history is not affected by a hard reset. In fact absolutely nothing was affected. Thanks for this original tip which I found here.

  • ADMIN
    Check and see if your phone isn't set to silent. Also if you set a song or some sort of ring tone as a default ring tone, ensure that song or ring tone isn't deleted and that you still have it. Good luck. :D

  • kev
    i tried to do a hard reset on my iphone 4 but after the apple logo appeared then the greenpoison one did, and now the screen has the greenpoison logo on it. it seems to be frozen with that logo
    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
  • kev  - re:
    please help
  • ADMIN
    Hi Kev, please give this a try:

    1. Connect your iPhone to your PC and run iTunes.
    2. Reset your iphone by holding home button and lock button for 10 sec.
    3. When you see the Apple logo you should hold home button for about 5-10 sec and you will see your iPhone in iTunes.

  • Frannie  - Iphone 4 battery died
    Hi all,

    Earlier, today, my iphone 4 battery died. The phone then became very hot and it would not turn on again.

    I have tried a soft reset, a hard reset, plugged the usb cable into the computer where itunes won't even acknowledge it.

    I have tried recharging in the car and in the house but still nothing happens. I am so upset because I have only had it for 2 weeks, and I really rely on my phone for appointments and all sorts.

    I was playing music at the time, and then I paused the song for a short time and then when I returned, it had switched itself off. I thought that maybe I was stuck on on the applications, however, I'm positive that I wasn't running any other apps at the time, only the ipod function.

    I hope someone can give me any answer to this dilemma. I have noticed through many other forums that other people are in the same boat with this problem, but no-one seems to have any answers.

    Look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    Thanks.
  • Jon  - Oh boy
    I did all of the above and it gets all the way through to verifying the software on the phone then "an unknown error occurred while restoring your iphone"...do i now have a really expensive paperweight?
  • Anonymous
    Jon - give this a try as suggest from one of the forum:

    Quote:

    Try DFU mode (iPhone plugged into the computer, iTunes launched, press the power button and home button for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds passed, the iPhone turns off, release the power button but keep pressing the Home button. iTunes will suggest the recovery mode and your iPhone will remain off).

    •Restart your computer
    •Be sure to have administrator rights
    •Change session on your computer
    •Change the USB port
    •Update your computer (drivers, Windows)
    •Change the USB cable if you can
    •If you go through a router, connect your computer directly to the Internet
    •Change your computer (Yes, it is not given to everyone)

  • George Padilha  - Hard Reset
    Hello,

    I have a i-phone 4. I have had it since it came out with Verizon and have had no problems.

    Yesterday I recieved an error message(do not remember what it said) and it said I had to do a hard reset. After doing so, everyting is mostly back to order except for my I tunes. When I try to sync, it says it is completed All songs and movies are even listed on my iphone icon folder. However, when i check my iphone, there is nothing there.

    Please help!!

    Thanks!!

    George Padilha - Try to clear all files on the phone and do a resync with iTunes. Make sure that there are no interruption while you perform a sync.

    You can download iFile to easily view iPhone files. http://bit.ly/kuSKU1.
    Look in the folder iTunes_control\Media\ or something like that.

  • iPhone fanatic  - Frozen while restoring
    Hello

    Not too sure if you can help but any help appreciated please. I carried out the Jailbreak operation on my new iPhone4. It showed the running pineapple and all was well. However I did not like the end results so decided to restore back to its original condition. Now all that happens is that ITunes gets as far as "Restoring iPhone Software" and the phone seems to be working and the "% Completion" bar freezes at 60%'ish and nothing more happens.

    If I then execute a hard reset and select the "iPhone3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw", it goes through the restore routine picking up from previous percentage and then freezes again.

    I don't know what to do, please help

    Regards

    We are happy to use your help.
  • Empress Susi  - Try, try again...
    Just FYI, if you do a hard reset & get "stuck" on either the Apple logo or just a blank screen try doing it again (holding down home/power buttons & do t let go until the Apple cycles up again (past the "slide to turn off", past the blank screen, can take 10-30 seconds). I had a random "dead phone" issue and the Apple Tech/help line advised me to do this 3 times in a row. (Did it w/my iPod touch 4G too as it basically reboots everything). This will not erase anything.

  • C.Chandler  - iphone 4 stuck because of voice over settings
    I went to a conference for the visually impaired.There was a presentation about using the iphone so that so that it could be used by blind people, and the phone would work by the phone talking back to the owner, like speaking out loud the names of the icons when the hand moves over them.

    To do this I went to Settings : General : Accessability : and turned "voice over" on.

    The phone didn't like this. The icons are still there, but when I touch the icon a black rectangle appears around the icon but it doesn't open up.

    I think this setting changed the way the touch screen works. It does not respond to a swipe.

    I've tried the reset that I found on the internet; that is: pressing the off button and the home button simultaneously ....the Apple logo appears but no reset happens.

    Another suggestion was to go to setting ; general ; reset etc etc. The problem is that I go to settings; it opens reluctantly but then it will not scroll down to the "General" settings, it just...

    IKram so how many GB does your iPhone 4 suppose to have? Use iTunes to see how much GB you actually have instead of see it from Windows.

    JIM - try to plug the phone with the sync cable into the PC and see if it turns back on.

    Unfortunately you will have to reset and restore the phone. Soft reset will not let you get back into the device. http://www.itjungles.com/iphone-tips/iphone-4-fix-forgot-password

    I connected it to itunes and hold die home and power button for 10s.

  • Paul  - iPhone 4 has no response, will not turn on or hard
    iPhone was working fine, had approximately 60% battery power. Phone had no indication of any problem with battery or anything else for that matter. I checked email put phone away 2 hours later went to text and phone had turn itself off it appeared, held power button to turn back on no response, held power button and home button for hard reboot, no response. Plugged phone in using car charger, wall outlet, and even connected to computer, still no response of any kind. Does anyone have any clue what it could be.

    My iphone 4 has just turned it off by itself when i was shopping. And it does not turned it on although I charged it. It was jailbroken. And I have not 100% backup it in my Itunes. So if i hard reset it by press both buttons, will any data include those photos, apps, music in my phone be clear or remain?

    Your right a reset will not erase data but a restore will read before you post.
