Downloaded iOS8. Now phone crashes and wont go into recovery.

Hi All,
I updated my Itunes and downloaded iOS 8. When I plugged the phone in and selected update phone, it started updating, and then said there was an error. The phone just keeps crashing and the screen goes all different colors and fades out. Wont enter recovery mode or anything. Once or twice over the last 4 hours it has come on completely like a brand new phone, but before I can back it up it cuts right out again and can't be found.... HELP!!!!

Have you tried to restore from DFU mode?
If not, follow the instructions here.
If that doesn't work, your phone may have a hardware issue and you'll need to schedule a Genius Bar appointment.

My iPhone 4S crashed and then went into recovery mode. What happened?

So I was using my iPhone today, and the screen wouldn't turn on. I assumed it had frozen and power-cycled it using the power- and home-buttons. Then I turned it back on, and it told me to plug my iPhone into iTunes. So I did, and iTunes attempted to update my device to iOS 8.1.3 (which it already had). It couldn't, and I had to restore my device to factory settings and then I had to restore from a backup. I'm curious as to why this happened?
Side note: When I plugged iPhone into iTunes, the serial number was marked as n/a, and instead of "[my name]'s iPhone" it was named iPhone 4S. Why is this? What happened?

Try plugging it in to iTunes. If I'm correct, when you plug it into your computer and open iTunes it should say "Device in Recovery Mode" or something. The only negative is that the only option from there is to restore your phone. If you have an iCloud backup you should be able to restore and back up once again and have the same data.

My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on

Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.
Try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Try to reset the device:

1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Colton,
You'll need to connect your iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Phone crashes and locks up

just installed latest update about a week ago and now it crashes and locks up 30 times a day. Help

I get the same problem only it's not 30 times a day. I can't remember exactly what it was I was doing it first happened but it scared the **** out of me.
Since then I do remember it's happened most often when I'm removing recently opened apps from the multitask tray.
I don't think it's a particular app that does it but it might be that I'm clicking on one after the other in quick succession but I can't saw for sure.
I can't say for how long it lasts either but it seems like forever yet it might be about 2-3 mins.

What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked Settings>General>Restrictions? Have you done a Spotlight search for it? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Mine just did this today too. Holding home/lock worked just fine. Does anyone know if this is becoming a common issue?
It is not "common" but not "uncommon" either. After all the iPhone is a small computer and things happen.

My laptop crashed and i lost my recovery key. All my bookmarks are still showing up on my android samsung galaxy 4. How can I recover my recovery key?

My laptop crashed and i lost my recovery key. All my bookmarks are still showing up on my android samsung galaxy 4. How can I recover my original recovery key? I tried deleting my account and creating a new one as suggested but now I get a sync error saying the recovery keys don't match. Also is there a way to export my bookmarks from my mobile device?

If you have lost your recovery key then unfortunately there is nothing to do, it can be regenerated but that will cause all data in sync to be deleted. You could try syncing your phone, then disconnecting it from sync, create a new sync account and connect your phone to send the data to that account, but there is a potential for the data to be lost there as well. sorry.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.something to get rid of a notification and it went into recovery mode!!! My photos are not backed up or on icloud. i havent restored yet bc i cannot lose my photos but tinyumbrella wont work. HELP! please:(

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.something (something about the speakers) to get rid of a notification and it went into recovery mode!!! My photos are not backed up or on icloud. i havent restored yet because i cannot lose my photos/videos, etc. but tinyumbrella wont work to exit recovery mode. HELP! please:(
i tried tinyumbrella (and another similar software) to exit recovery but it only remains on the apple logo stuck there. please is there anything else i can do? i've contacted apple and they have told me the only choice i have is to restore and lose all my data.
my iphone isn't jailbroken and i've updated before without this problem so i'm not sure what has happened. is there anyyy hope please ???

First I would try to hold down the power and the home button for about 15sec, but at least as long as the iPhone restarts, if it is still stuck or still in recovery mode then I can suggest you the tool "Wondershare Dr. Fone for iOS", it is both a Windows and Mac tool and I just used it today to get my iPad out of the Recovery mode.
Tell me if any of these options worked for you.
