Get past the Iphone's spinning wheel of death without restore.
Thats right ... why restart and lose everything .Its happened to me many times so now ive found away around it .If your iphone just so happens to get stuck on the spinning wheel we all know how bad that can be so here is the remedy........
1.hold the home button and power button at the same time until the phone turns off.
2.grab your usb cable and plug only one end into your Iphone.
3.Plug the other end of the cord into your computers usb port.
4.the phone should turn on and will bring up the Import pictures and videos.(leave the tab open)
5.go to computer,Iphone (or portable devices)digital camera and double click.
6.open internal stoage.
7.then open dcim folder.
8.then open the 100apple folder.
9.Now you want to open some pictures and close some pictures in this folder until the phone restarts itself again.
10.Now when you turn it back on still hooked up to the computer , you should then import all pictures and videos .
11.Next let the phone restart itself again.( that is if by this point it dosent turn on in safe mode) NO SAFEMODE YET ? CONTINUE BELOW
12.unplug the phone from the usb port and hold the power and home button together again one last time until the phone powers off.
13.Then turn it back on.
14.Your ipone should now restart either normal or in safemode.(If it dosent the first time wait... just let it sit it will come back on AND THATS IT!!!!
15.I would also like to say when it does come on if still in safemode uninstall the last apps you installed to get it to boot normally again.
16.I assure you this process will work ! it takes a while sometimes but has never failed me.I hope this helps all the other ifans out there to keep there Iphone kickin ! ( in my case cant let it die ! dont want to restore because 3.1.2 is still my fav so i will always find away... its only a plus to be able to help out all the ones who need this. ENJOY!
