After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages. Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

Perhaps you've been transferring them from your iOS device to your computer regularly, as recommended for any electronic image capture device?
If not, then learn from this hard life lesson, and backup the data that is important to you... regularly.

Please help:( could photos be retrieved if phone went into recovery mode

My iphone was in recovery mode since yesterday. Is there any way that I could retrieve the photos from the phone? I have about 6000+ photos which I have not backed up. Please help.. the photos were important to me:( I wish I have backup up the photos regularly. I have not thought of the phone would suddenly enter into a recovery mode. I read a few posts on the community saying that once the phone is in recovery mode, there is nothing you can do.:(

Updated to iOS 6.1.2, phone went into recovery mode and will not restore, help?

exactly as the title says.
error 3194 came up and well yeah, nothing's working.

Most likely you previously used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella that messed with your computer hosts file, blocking access to the Apple server gs.apple.com. See this:
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

can you help me my phone doesnt want to restore from recovery. it keep on saying the server is unavailale

Usually a sign of a jailbroken iPhone & since Apple does not support jailbreaking, that's what happens. If that's the case with you, we can't help you here...the terms of use prohibit such. Sorry, but you'll have to go elsewhere.

I keep getting a 3014 or -1 error after I tried to update my phone and it went into recovery mode. What do I do?

I was updating from 6 to 6.1.2 and my phone went into recovery mode. I usually get a 3014 error but sometimes it gets past the USB screen and goes about halfway through the apple screen and gets a -1 error. I don't have firewalls, no antivirus, the only thing I have is a mandatory college internet connection program that I don't think I can get rid of. What should I do
Also, I already tried to "Hold both home and power button, let go of the home button at the apple screen" but it didn't work.

That is usually a result of an iPhone that at one time has been hacked, jailbroken, or rolled back. Try it on a different computer.

My iphone 4s was loading a software update and went into recovery mode, I don't want to lose all my data please help me@!

I was loading the latest software update to "fix bugs and security issues" and my phone went into "recovery mode". I've never seen this before. I plugged it into iTunes as shown on the screen of my phone and it says "Iphone in recovery mode detected" and suggested resetting the phone to factory settings. I don't want to lose all my data so is there another way to fix it? All help will be appreciated!

Sorry, whatever data you had on your phone has been wipe off already, since your phone is in recovery mode.
You will need to restore your phone. Then if you have a backup, you can choose that backup to restore from, if you have no backup, your only option is to sync contents from iTunes.
