Restoring Your iPhone, iPad and iPod
OK LET’S START
1. Backup Using iTunes, iCloud or iTools
For iCloud
Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
For iTools (3rd party app)
Download iTools>Open iTools>Connect your iDevice>Create Backup
For iTunes
1. Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
2. Connect your iOS device to your computer.
3. Under the BACKUPS pane front and center on iTunes, click on This Computer.
4. Click the Backup Now button, and wait for the process to complete.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Backup Now.
You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
2. Restore your iOS device
1. Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
2. Enter into DFU mode (no need to turn off your device)
3. Press and hold SHIFT key on your keyboard and click RESTORE in iTunes
4. Select IPSW 7.1.2
5. Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device
6. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
7. Select Set up as New Phone (this will prevent your device to restore problem/bug/error )
If you choose to restore backup and even previous settings of your device, select Restore from this Backup.
8. Wait for few minutes
9. After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart, and you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
10. And we are DONE!
REMINDER!

2. Backup your device and transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
