Restoring a phone via recovery mode

Hi
If I upgrade a phone using recovery moody as a new phone, can I restore the apps from a previously saved backup in iTunes, or do I have to do a manual build again from the app store?

Hi Aag23,
If you have an iTunes backup, then you would first try to restore from backup.
If you restore as new, then you would redownload the apps you purchased from the App store.
The article below will explain this in more detail:

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Hi, dre225.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is in recovery mode, try processing forced recovery mode.

Phone in recovery mode?

I just upgraded from the 1st gen to a 3gs 16g I came home to sync new to old, when i plugged in the old, i needed to update so i did it updated then said it was transfering, then when it got done instead of saying sync complete, it said phone in recovery mode, now on my screen i have a picture of a plug and the itunes symbol and the phone does NOTHING when i press the button..any ideas

Which phone is in recovery mode - the "old" 1st gen iPhone or the 3GS? What happens when you plug it back into iTunes? If iTunes sees it in recovery mode, follow the prompts to restore the phone. If not:
1. Be sure you have the latest iTunes, 9.1.1
2. Start iTunes
3. Plug phone into a USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
4. Press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees the phone in recovery mode.
5. Follow the prompts to restore.

Interrupted update put phone in recovery mode.

An interrupted update to iOS 7.1.1 put phone in recovery mode. The phone told me to connect to iTunes and when I did it only gave me the option of restoring the phone. The problem is though, that the phone hadn't been backed up in awhile and not at all to the computer I had to connect it to. So is there a way I can reboot without restoring the iPhone?

You can restore the iPhone from an iCloud backup or from an iTunes backup once you're back at your computer.
I know that doesn't help too much, but it is an option.

ITunes doesn't see new iPhone for restore -- can I use recovery mode?

I am trying to upgrade 3G/iOS3.0->3GS/iOS4 on a Windows XP box with latest iTunes 9.2. I have backed up (and synched, but who cares) my old phone (3G). I expect, per various docs, that when I plug in the new (3GS) it will ask me to set up new, or restore, but instead it goes through some long registration dance (even though I've asked NOT to do this), which when I cancel out of (or even when I don't), I end up with the new (connected) phone not appearing in iTunes. I don't know what's going on, but I wonder, can I just bypass all this by putting the new phone in recovery mode and then doing the restore, or will that trash the OS as well (which would be bad, bcs the old phone is on 3.0, and the new one is on 4.0, so I don't really want the old phone's OS overwriting the new one! -- I guess I don't understand recovery mode, so I'm afraid of it.)

Update: Actually, I let the scary registration song-and-dance go through and it seems to have done the right thing (or, at least it's doing it as we speak...I'm sure you'll hear a loud scream if it fails!) But my question stands: Could I have don't this by putting the new phone into recovery mode and done the restore that way, or would that have done something untoward?
Give yourself a solved!!!!! LOL
And yes, Apple forces you to go through the registration process. It is what it is.
As for your issue on recovery vs. restore, I'm not sure what you mean. Aren't they essentially the same thing?

Your phone is probably jailbroke

TS2529 iOS update throws phone into recovery mode - HELP

The current iOS update seems to have thrown the phone into recovery mode now requiring restoration through iTunes. Of course I don't have photo stream on and fear losing all my photos. Any way around this?

Reset, hold both the home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. If this works great. If not you may have to Restore the iPhone to get it working again. If you decide to do this you may even have to use DFU Mode to Restore. Here are the steps for DFU. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Hi Amandalee498,
It sounds as if your Windows computer is not detecting the iPad in iTunes. Let's see if we can get that fixed up.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

how do you solve a error 1015 when restoring a iphone from recovery mode?

This error is generally exhibited when someone tries to downgrade iOS. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This is the part you are looking for.
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

I forgot my ipad passcode. I tried to restore ipad using the recovery mode option. However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).

I forgot my ipad passcode. I tried:
1. Simply to restore the ipad on the computer it is normally synced with, but it askes me to enter the passcode.
2. to restore ipad using the recovery mode option. However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" cloud option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).
3. to remotely erase my ipad, but as it is locked down it does not seem to be connecting to the internet and hence cannot seen through my "find my ipad".
I am completely stuck! Any suggestions please?!?!?
