IPhone 5 can't restore - Stuck at 'Waiting for iPhone' I have an iPhone 5 that's really giving me a headache. At first it started up but the screen wouldn't come on = it synched with iTunes and vibrate on/off worked, but replacing the screen didn't work. I tried doing a regular restore to 9.3.5 on my iPad 2,4 using iTunes, but it kept hanging on waiting for device. I then decided to use libimobiledevice so I could get some verbosity, but it got stuck waiting for NAND as shown below.

Besides, please keep a good connection between your iPhone and PC. Step 4: After this process is completed, please activate your iDevice using 3uTools or manually.
Jul 03, 2013 We have tried to restore but it gets stuck on 'waiting for iPhone'. (iTunes) This is both in restore mode and DFU mode.
