    HI,

    It sounds like you may need to put it into DFU Mode and restore, or you may have to wait it out.

    Hi, i have a iphone 4 on what i believe is basic 4.0 firmware, it is not jailbroken (although my 3g was, and i carried over that restore file when i got my new phone, if that is at all relevant.) and when it was running a little slow i figured id turn it off and back on again to speed things up, and during that process it just went into the connect to itunes screen, i tried using Recboot to kick it out but it now it just goes from the apple logo to recovery/dfu mode then off again. I do not know what to do, as i have thousands of photos and numbers and other precious data i dont want to lose. I havent synced it in awhile, and other than manually SSH'ing it out (which i dont know how to do, and if it is even possible). im really stuck here, if anyone has any adivce, id greatly appreciate it.

      Yes, but it may not work with the latest iOS version because its lagging very much behind in terms of an update.
