"1- I change the USB cable

2- I removed the front Camera

It works after 2 weeks of trying many things with many software and it was showing everytime the same result : stuck with the apple Icone with the loading circle (Waiting for the phone ) in itunes.

BTW My power button doesn't work"

@joebrownyh. Thanks a lot! It worked for me by connecting it through " iPhone Data Recovery" tool. Just launch the application connect you iPhone. Just remember to close iTunes before launching the recovery app.

I just had this issue and went to a convenience store to buy another USB cable and it fixed it, now I am restoring from backup.

"As long as nothing is actually wrong with your iPhone, you can exit Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode without restoring the device in iTunes. To get out of DFU mode follow the same steps as a forced restart.

1. Hold down the Sleep button and Home button at the same time.

2. After a few seconds the Apple logo appears and the iPhone will boot.

3. Your iPhone is now out of DFU mode.

If the procedure doesn't work the first time, try steps 1-2 again. If something is wrong with your iPhone you may need to restore your iPhone 5 using iTunes."
