Wake up to find fucking iPhone 4 in dfu mode and unable to recover
3 replies, posted
I go to check my emails and shit but find my phone isn't turned on. I try to turn it on, but it's not doing anything, not even the low battery message screen when it needs to charge. I start becoming confused. I plug it into my wall outlet and it doesn't do anything. So I plug it into my computer and it recognized it only once, the first time. It says it was in DFU mode, so I install iTunes (uninstalled for a reason) and click restore. Since it said I would have the option to restore my contacts and other settings I gave it a go. It downloaded 4.3.3 and attempted to install. Then it gave me an error message. "Not enough space on disk" or whatever. Since I had ~1gb of space left on my boot drive (apparently apple cannot have the option to move firmware downloads to another drive) and now had 20mb, I figured it was my main drive. I delete as much files as I can to make space for the firmware and iTunes and attempt it again, all while my phone was plugged in. This time I had ~500mb space left after the firmware was downloaded. I continued to repeat the process only to get the same error message.
Tl;dr I wake up to find my iPhone 4 in dfu mode, unable to restore with error message "not enough space on disk" when there is.
Note I had dropped the phone in the toilet about a month ago, but it shouldn't be affecting it now.

My phone will not be recognized by my computer anymore.
Best thing I can suggest is go to the Apple store either try and get them to fix it or get them to replace it.
dfu, as in black screen right? well what sometimes works for me is press and hold power and home button for 7 seconds and then release home button while keep holding on to the power button until you see the apple logo.
It works for me
