Another case of phone in recovery mode after ios6 install

I see that many others are having the same problem.
What do I do to fix it?
I get the picture telling me to connect to itunes and when I do I'm told that the phone is in recovery mode and must be restored.
itunes is currently downloading the ios 6 software even though it has already been downloaded and installed on the phone.
Do I have to wait for the second download to complete and what steps do I take then?

Just click on the restore button and continue with the restore. It'll reuse the already downloaded ios6 and start from scratch.

  • Phone in recovery mode after update???

    Update did not work, now i have discovered how to turn the phone back on as it wouldn't  it says i must restore it. Seriously?

    NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!
    Both my daughter and I had the same problem on different computers. Hers is an iPhone 4 and mine, a 5. Both got caught in recovery mode. I did follow the above mention troubleshooting however to no avail. Took it into the Apple shop yesterday and they restored it back to the factory setting for 6.0.1. Lost all of my content on the phone.
    The Genisus stated that is it a Windows problem.
    Yes, I agree, that Apple has lowered their delivery and service. It is true, that Apple is the new Microsoft, that it is ok to have problems when upgrading and when it hangs, just reload.
    AVOID THE UPGRADE AT ALL COSTS.

  • Recovery mode after IOS6 update.. don't know aht to do.. please someone help..

    I just updated my iTouch 4th generation to the IOS6.. after the update, when I open I-tunes, it has an error "I-tunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with I-tunes".. don't know hat to do afterwards.. I don't want to click on restore, since it will delete all my videos and pictures, and I haven't made a back-up yet of those stuffs.. please soneone help me.. thanks..

    Actually, I suspect you did something with TinkerTool, anyway way back when I played around with it, when it was free, I seem to remember it allowed you to make the Dock transparent. So launch it, and go to its Help section and see what you can find.

  • IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

    hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
    I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
    help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

    It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

    You don't. You have no choice but to restore at this point. The update did not complete successfully. iOS needs to be restored using iTunes.

    Hello Andyoneill9,
    It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
    Resolution
    Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
    Check your "hosts" file
    After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
    If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
    In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
    Open Terminal.
    Enter this command and then press Return:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
    Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
    Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
    Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
    Restart your computer.
    Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
    This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

    How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

    In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
    Install data recovery app on your computer
    connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
    display scanning result
    choose local folder to store recovered items
    You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud.  More details can be found out here.
