After an 'error' occurs to update iOS 6 , phone is stuck in recovery mode and only option is to restore? ):
I don't think I back uped anything. I assume it was already going to do that like most times..
I downloaded and updated the phone with the iOS6, but then an error occurred saying that the phone can't be updated. It then turned into recovery mode and suggests that the only way to use the phone is if I restore it.. which I really can't do! I still have lots of photos..
Please, I regret not having backing up just in case, but is there any way to somehow 'undo' the recovery mode and bring it back to normal (regardless of which iOS it has)? Please, I really would appreciate a solution, any solution.
Thank you.
What's wrong with you guys.. you must ALWAYS back it up before anything major like this.
If it's not too late, and i do not know if this will work or not.. but download something like TinyUmbrella or any program that will allow you to kick it out of Recovery Mode and back to regular. May or may not work but worth a shot.

If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

i tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??
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. -

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. -

This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Can anyone help me with my phone being stuck in recovery mode? I have looked all over the internet and have had no success. I have not tried to restore it with Itunes, because my data is not backed up and I don't want to lose it. Tinyumbrella would not work and the apple support website is completely useless!
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.

My iphone 5s became stuck in recovery mode while I was trying to backup to icloud. How can I get it off of recovery to save my photos? It wants me to restore in itunes but I'm afraid I will lose my photos.
IF your phone is in recovery mode, then there is no data on it.
If you didn't import your pics or have photos stream enabled or have a previous back up, then sorry your pics are gone. -
I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.
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.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode and iTunes doesn't detect it.
I'm not sure what happened. I connected my phone to sync music and iTunes told me I had an update that I've been avoiding. I continued to try and update my phone and it finally told me the update was unsuccessful for some reason. Now my phone only displays the USB connecting to iTunes on the screen. When I turn it off and on, this screen is still there. What's worse is that iTunes (and my computer) are not recognizing my phone at all right now. I can't find it even though it is plugged into my computer!

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.
