  • HT201413 phone is stuck in emergency call only mode how do i fix this

    my phone is stuck in emergency call only mode

    Hi, bit75.  
    Thank you visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like your device may be disabled and can only make emergency calls.  Here is the article that I would recommend going through if this is the case.  
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

  • IPhone stuck in emergency mode

    Hello,
    I'm Shabnum and I've got a problem with my iPhone, I hope I can get some good advice from users within the Apple community. The problem is that my iPhone is stuck in emergency mode after I restored it. I restored it as I couldn't call anyone, I called Apple customer services and explained everything and they told me that I should restore the iPhone to its factory settings etc. Now, my iPhone has been stuck on the emergency mode and I can't access anything at all. I've made a backup of my iPhone via iTunes, is there any way to restore the iPhone with my backup which I created and is there any way to get out of emergecny mode? I've tried O2, Lebara and Orange sim cards but it won't let me activate my iPhone. It just states on iTunes "The carrier isn't supporter bla bla bla) I've done a lot of research on the problem and I haven't seen a single resolution, I hope that iPhone experts/professionals such as yourself can help provide a resolution.
    iPhone 3G.
    OS: I think it's 3.1.3
    Many thanks.

    It depends: if the phone is under warranty then they will help you unless they discover evidence of the phone being hacked - this will invalidate the warranty and you may be stuck. Non-warranty repairs are possible at a price - best to go and find it. I have no idea how much discretion they have at the store but you had better take every piece of evidence regarding your purchase and maybe they can exercise discretion if the situation turns out not to be straightforward.
    Only Apple can tell you for sure what the situation is. You may be able to recover a backup if they fix you up, but I wouldn't count on it - if it was made from a hacked phone then do not use it.

  • Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

    iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
    Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
    At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
    Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

    omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
    plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
    now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

    Any numbers or other details on the mesages given?
    Did you try to connect in recovery mode again? iOS: Unable to update or restore
    In case your network connection timed out, check your security software settings: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode.  Are my photos and videos that weren't downloaded lost?

    I've been lazy about updating my phone.  I plugged it into my computer tonight, the prompt came up and I absentmindedly clicked OK, you get the picture.  It claims the update failed and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.  I can't believe I didn't back up my phone before I did this - I just wasn't thinking.  Have I lost all my videos and pictures?

    They should have been part of the backup. If you have already restored from the backup and they are not present on the phone, then they are gone. If you have not yet attempted to restore, just restore already... you don't have any other choice. Debating whether something will be there or not is pointless. It will, or it won't. discussing it won't change that.

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    Hi, kformagg
    I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
    It worked very well.

    Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work!  It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

    Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
    If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

  • HT1688 I just tried to install the latest software update for an iPhone 5, and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode.  Are there any options available to avoid going through with the recovery.  This seems really lame.

    No.
    You must restore.

  • Tried updating to iOS 6, now my phone is stuck in recovery mode...help?

    I tried updating my phone to the iOS 6 software, and my iTunes won't read my phone at all. It keeps saying that "your iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored." I restored it for an hour and it didn't work at all. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I'm away at college and I don't know how to fix it. Help!

    No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.
