IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and can't update and restore

Hi everyone,
I need a little advice.
I was updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 yesterday and during the installation/updating process something went wrong (I have no idea what!) But now it is stuck in recovery mode. I have tried and failed to get it out of recovery mode. So I decided, I'll just take the loss and restore it, losing whatever I haven't backed up.
However, when updating and restoring my device I get the some error message each time: Can't restore iphone: error 3194.
I've tried updating iTunes, even trying using iTunes on my other computer, no luck.
So I decided to book a genius bar appointment.
Will they be fit to fix it? Also if not fixable can I get a replacement phone even though it's out of warrenty? And what help or charges occur when out of warrenty?
I would really appriciate any responces!
Thank you!

If that Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode, I can't even reset it to factory settings

    I wrote a post before this but it seems like it got deleted???
    My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode and I've tried everything but nothing works! I can't even reset it to factory settings because I keep getting the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Is there any way that I can reset it to factory settings without using iTunes?
    I've searched all over the web, haven't found anything on this... I've tried all the apps that help exit from recovery mode but none of them work!
    Please, any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    Do you have to restore your iPhone again? You could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. You could also try checking out this link.

  • Zen MicroPhoto or Micro stuck in Recovery Mode? Can't update firmware? Try this

    I got these instructions from here:
    http://blog.opsan.com/archi've/2005/09/3/472.aspx
    This is the only thing that worked for me to get my broken Zen MicroPhoto up and running again. It was stuck in Recovery Mode and my XP SP2/WMP laptop wouldn't recognize when trying to load firmware or in Creative Media Explorer or WMP.
    To Fix any problems with broken firmware form attempted "playsforsure"
    firmware updates etc where your pc finds it as a 20mb dri've and it sits
    in recovery mode and does bugger all:
    1. Uninstall all creative software & drivers
    2. Uninstall Media Player and Media Player runtime (will require a
    reboot for each thing). This is done by going to add/remove programs and
    uninstalling (this will put your pc back to wmp0).
    3. Re-install the Zen Driver from the creative website and reboot (I just reloaded Media Explorer using my ZMP install CD).
    4, Plug Zen in.
    5, Make sure you have the firmware update ready, run it but don't click
    the language bit yet), leave the mouse hovering over your language
    selection. (for ZMP, just start firmware exe file, there is no language selection. You can get the firmware update from Creative's site, go to SUPPORT and then DOWNLOADS).
    6. On the Zen- select "reload OS" (on ZMP I believe it is Erase or Reload Firmware, something like that, don't have it in front of me).
    7. As soon as it flashes up "reload new firmware now via USB" click the
    language button
    8. Now the pc should find it and allow you to re-load the
    firmware. (it may take a few attempts)
    9. Once complete, click close and restart the pc. Everything should now
    be fine.
    0. Once all is working, you can re-install WMP and it will work fine.
    I hope this helps somebody.

  • HELP!!  iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

    Ok my phone is stuck in recovery mode, Ive already restarted my computer & tried to shut down itunes & start it back up, it gets almost done with the restore verification and then it gives me a 1013 or something
    what to do?!
    Message was edited by: PsychedelicWonders

    Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
    I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
    Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode, itunes can't get past 'waiting for iphone' after I repaired the broken screen...

    So awhile ago the screen broke so I bought a kit on ebay to fix it, my boyfriend did a beautiful job using a tutorial on Youtube, it turns on, tells me to connect to itunes. I did that and now it's been connected to my laptop for 9 hours and the status bar never moves. I'm getting very frustrated! I've tried putting it in DFU mode but nothing changes.
    Please help me! What do I do?!

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

    After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

    hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
    first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
    second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
    Either of it can try!

    MY IPOD IS STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS

    Withour knowing whar happens when you try to restore the iPod all I can suggest is:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
