Problems with the software may occur for users who install on their device a large number of applications. Some of them turn out to be created for different versions operating system, resulting in a conflict between them. The result is a decrease in the performance and performance of the smartphone as a whole, and periodic failures called “glitches.” Reflashing your iPhone allows you to completely correct the situation.
Indications for reinstalling the OS

Reflashing a working device
A separate reason for reinstalling the OS is buying an iPhone abroad. Designed for markets and mobile operators in other countries, versions of the gadget often turn out to be incompatible with domestic SIM cards. In such a situation, flashing the iPhone is the only way to adapt it for use in Russia. At the Appleking service center, the device will be “unlocked,” that is, existing restrictions on working with any operators, including Russian ones, will be lifted.
Regarding upgrading the operating system version, latest firmware versions Apple devices usually received “over the air”, and the intervention of specialists is not required here. It's a completely different matter when the owner intends to return to previous version. He will need to either roll back to factory settings or reflash the iPhone with the selected version of the platform. For users who do not have the relevant experience, it is more advisable to do this in a service center.

Why does the wi-fi module fail?
There are several options why a wi-fi module fails. Firstly, the antenna elements may break off on the 4th series, or a break may occur at the junction or fastening of the coaxial cable clamp on the 5th series. This happens due to strong mechanical impact (a powerful blow or a fall from a height). Otherwise, the problem may be that the microcircuit is damaged (sometimes there is a manufacturing defect). These are hardware problems and flashing the firmware cannot be solved here. However, more often than others, failures in software settings occur, which can be cured by updating the software. In any case, you cannot do without competent advice from a relevant specialist - contact the centers presented and they will solve your problem.
Many smartphone owners already know that there are cases when the firmware for iPhone 5 causes normal operation smartphone. But the result of flashing is not always positive, and this is evidenced by the appearance of an error on the screen. All re-flashing work is carried out in iTunes program, where we see pop-up codes of various errors that arose when the 5s firmware for iPhone was incorrect. There may be several similar errors:
No. 1 - may appear if you have downgraded the firmware for iPhone 5s. However, your smartphone does not support this version;
No. 2 - occurs in case of problems with custom firmware with ASR;
No. 9 - shows that there is a malfunction in the kernel itself;
No. 10 - may appear if you do not have LLB firmware, the absence of which does not allow you to boot the system;
No. 11 - the firmware does not contain BBFW.
In fact, during the firmware update for the iPhone 5s, other errors may appear, but in general it is already becoming clear that with such messages it will no longer be possible to complete the process. Moreover, in many cases, iTunes may not restore your previous system either. What to do in such circumstances?
There is still a way out, we are talking about the possibility of implementing iphone firmware 5s using DFU mode. Let's explain in more detail, this mode provides for turning on the mobile device, but does not boot operating system. It is this mode that is provided for flashing the gadget, and therefore only one function is available in it - updating the firmware. Those interested will immediately ask, how can you enter this mode? It's actually quite simple:
1. Turns off mobile devices and iTunes launches. Then it should be connected to the computer.
2. After these steps, you must simultaneously press Home button and a power button.
3. After ten seconds, the second button can be released while the first button remains pressed. This is carried out until a message appears on the screen that a device has been detected that requires restoration.
Thus, you have entered this DFU mode, as evidenced by a black screen, which is quite natural. You should know in advance that during this process, all data and programs that were previously on your device will be lost. It is recommended to perform a preliminary backup before all these actions.
A few tips for those who decide to carry out this process on their own:
the mobile device must be connected via a guaranteed working USB cable;
during the process, all antiviruses that are installed on the computer are disabled;
For a successful process, you should only use the latest version of iTunes.
Do not be upset if you were unable to install the firmware the first time. You can repeat your attempts an unlimited number of times, but if the attempts are still unsuccessful, take a different USB connector, since this may be the reason for the failures. In the event that the problem with the smartphone malfunction is more serious, its solution should be entrusted to qualified specialists.
