Help/Support iPhone Erase Settings and Content STUCK

beowolf · January 30, 2016

I read somewhere on this forum that if you wanted to delete everything off your phone without updating your firmwire all you do is Erase Settings and Content.. now my phone is stuck and the only solution that I have found is to put it in DFU mode and restore to latest firmwire.

I do NOT want to update from 9.0.2 Its to late for me to download Cydia Impactor.

What can I do to save my 9.0.2

Where did you get that? If you erase all content, you'll be forced to update your iOS( Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Like diversity asked, where did you get that from? I think you read it wrong cause that's not true. But anyway when you jailbreak some of your devices most important files are moved/modified etc. and when you erase all settings and content, I believe you also delete those important files

You shot yourself in the foot, you're going to have to restore to a later firmware as the "Erase all content and settings" option removed important files, needed for jailbreak, ios, among other things, off your device.
