Downloaded ios7, now I'm stuck in recovery mode

I just downloaded ios7 via wifi (because I don't have my computer any more, which will be important later), and when I tried to install it, my phone got stuck in recovery mode. It tells me to plug it into iTunes, but to sync it with iTunes I'd have to restore it, which unfortunately would mean I lose everything on my phone because my computer is gone and I am currently using my wife's. Do I have any other options to try to fix this?

Try this. Connect the phone to the charger that came with it, and reset the device by holding power and hte home button until it turns off. Then try restoring again.

Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

Someone tried to jailbreak my iPod and now it is stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix it?

I'm not sure what jail breaking is, however one of my friends insisted on jail breaking my iPod, 4th generation. Now it is stuck in recovery mode and everything has been wiped out. I had backed my iPod up to my computer before everything happened. Thanks for any help!

I suggest that you find a new friend. Based on the experiences of others, the jailbreaking may well be non-reversible. Here are some things to try...
Restore...
Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
If the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
I really don't want to recommend the next step because it's a real PIA after the fact. However...
Restore as new with NO reload from backup!
IF you choose to try it, here are some cautions. Make absolutely certain that all purchased data, such as apps, music, movies, etc., are present in the iTunes library. Also make absolutely certain that all non-purchased data, such as photos, pdf files, Word files, etc., are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive. Be aware that you will lose all game data (scores, etc.). Be forewarned that it is tedious recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it. Finally, be aware that all passwords will be wiped out and all settings will have returned to their default values.

Oh my god, it finally worked ! I restored on an old PC and it worked !
Thanks anyway for your help.
But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

my ipad i have been restore it yesterday my computer shut down in the middel now my ipad2 stuck in recovery mode and cant be detect by itunes and it is jaikbroken ?

Try these steps. If it doesn't work the first time, try a second time.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off. (If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.)
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. (Note: If you see the screen that shows you are out of battery, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.)
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode..."
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Hope this helps!

HT4061 IOS6.1 corrupted during install. Ipad now wont boot, stuck in recovery mode. Wont restore to factory settings, get error 3194. HELP !!

Hi.
I have just tried to update Ipad to IOS6.1, but it failed during install. The pad now seems to be stuck in recovery mode.
I have tried to restore to factory settings but I get a error code 3194
During attempted restore the restore screen does not show the Ipad name, serial number or software version number.
Any suggestions, I think it may need to be sent away to be repaired, and i fear this will be very expensive!!!

My brother's iPod was disabled for 23 million minutes then my dad fiddled with it. Now it's stuck in recovery mode and wont connect to my computer or go into DFU mode. How do I fix it?

It's an iPod touch 4S, white.
I've tried on various computer types (windows, macs, and even a linux) and nothing. None of the computers even recognized a device being plugged in.
I know it's not the cable, our other idevices use that one fine (I bought several more to be sure and no luck).
My dad is at his wits end and I want this insanity to end. Help please.
It's been locked so long I don't know what iOS it's on.
Dear god, what did my brother do.

See what you missed here:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I tried to restore and update my phone and now it is stuck in recovery mode. how do i get it out?

I can't get my phone out of recovery mode. Even if I restart it, all it says is that it needs to be plugged into iTunes. But when I do that, it tries to restore it again and it fails. How do I fix this?

i have this problem too! have you fixed yours yet?

Downloaded App Store / 2.0, now i'm stuck in recovery mode

I tried all the ways I could to get it out of recovery, tried pressing the Power and Home buttons at the same time, when plugged in and not plugged in. Whenever I connect to my PC, it says iTunes must check for updates or something. I press Check, and another box says "iPod software update server could not be contacted." But if I press cancel, the iPod won't show up in iTunes at all. I have internet access and I can get to the iTunes store, I don't know what's wrong. I even erased everything Apple-related and re-downloaded, but nothing works. Any ideas? Can Apple replace it without cost to me?

Sorry, I just disabled the firewall and it is all good. Never mind
