Iphone4- new IOS update- how to face restore problems?

Hi. It has been a year since I last update.

Guess I could never have the time for this blog to work properly. huhu.

I'm going for a US trip again this year. Alhamdulillah..
But then again, I do not know if I could have the time to sum it up in this blog. Bz me..

Here's the listed pending task though. Yet to update... Trips to:
- USA - NASA visit Apr 2013
- Hong Kong Disneyland - Nov 2012
- Korea - Nov 2013
- Bali - March 2013



This is the one - download one accordingly ok  - (1) windows or (2) apple mac

Ok. Now, let's go back to the restoring your iphone. Just to capture it in this blog for future reference.
It's very useful.

This is what just happened to me:
- Wanting to update my Iphone 4 from IOS 6.2.1 to IOS 7.1 as my iphone keeps hanging on me on apps such as FB, camera etc
- So I 'Back-up" & sync as usual
- Then I click "Download & Update"
- Then I left my hp with the computer coz I know it will take some time for it to work
Then woke up in the morning only to discover that it asked me to "restore to factory settings" (note: all the while the iphone is connected to ITunes, computer never shut down, screen never off & I don't have any illegal jailbreaking & stuff)
- And it said that my iphone is 'rejected' so it needs to restore per such.
- So I start to google & found out about this very beneficial site. Firstly- I do not have to restore to factory settings, Secondly -  I can view the normal start-up screen normally - if not it keeps asking me to restore to factory settings & I can't even get to the normal passcode entering screen.

- So here's the site for reference. Just follow the instructions.
