HELP! iPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to udate

HELP! My iPhone 4S is stuck in recovery mode (the iTunes usb plug in screen) after trying to update ios 7.1.1? Wont come back to normal, someone please help! I have already turned off, restarted, tried wondershare dr phone's free trial and nothing is working. I dont want to restore and loss all of my data and am scared even that wont work.
I will be forever grateful for any help I can get to just bring my phone back to its pre-update state.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, if you are in Recovery Mode then all your data is already gone.
You need to connect to iTunes to restore iOS then restore from your latest iTunes or iCloud backup.

HT201263 iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to download ios6

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it, it seems to download the new software (ios6) but nothing is restored. I still get that recovery screen. How can I get out of the recovery mode?

Hey Justinjoly,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
Either of it can try!

Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

So basically i was on iOS 7.0.0 and when my phone was below 10% and i tried to charge it, it would keep turning on and off every 2 minutes. Somebody had told me to update to the latest version of iOS, so I did. While downloading the new version onto my phone an error code popped up (error 29) and the update bar was only half full. Ever since then my phone has been stuck in Recovery Mode and I have tried everything I know to fix it. Please help.

IPhone 3G Stuck in Recovery Mode After Trying to Update to 3.1.3

I have read through the similar issues posted on here and there have been no definitive answers.
My dad hadn't updated his iPhone 3G to 3.1.3 yet, so we connected it today and chose to update. It downloaded the update, went through the install on the phone, then went into recovery mode and iTunes says it detected phone in recovery mode you must restore. I tried to restore and it just does the same.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, deleted and re-downloaded 3.1.3.
My dad's computer is Vista 32 that we are doing this on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Awesome, thanks!! I actually read on another forum about doing that on an XP computer because Vista and 7 drivers get screwed up for the iPhone, so I just got done doing it on an XP computer and it WORKED!!!!
Thanks for the reply!

Stuck in recovery mode after trying to udate

My laptop recently caught a virus, and I just got it back. It's bean wiped, but it still has files like my itunes music. I connected my touch to it, and downloaded the new iOS 4 update, but at the end, instead of installing the update, my touch turned off and then showed the connect to iTunes sign. It said I was in recovery mode and to restore it. When I did, though, it went through all the steps until the end, when it just said it wouldn't work. I think it also said it was an unknown error but then it said (21). I can't use it now, so any suggestions would be helpfull. Also, I do have a warrenty, so if it turns out there's nothing I can do, I suppose I can always turn it in. Thanks

It turns out the place I downloaded the update has some sort of problem, and about 50% of downloaded files get corrupted. I'll just turn it in.

Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

I tried to update my iPhone 4 via iTunes to iOS4.3. and after a while, iTunes gave me a error saying that my iPhone cannot be updated because of an unknown error (10) it's now stuck on a screen showing a USB cable and the iTunes logo. I tried restoring again and now i am getting the unable to restore error 11 message and it is still stuck on the screen showing a USB cable and the iTunes logo. I've also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling but nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks.

No, i phoned Apple and they suggested the following:
1) Power off
2) Hold down Home button
3) Simultaenously plug into computer whie holding down Home button
4) Hit restore button in iTunes
Still does not work for me, but i think my iTunes may haven been corrupted during installation, so will try it on another computer and see if it works. I read error 10, is something to do with iTunes.

Hello..
After updating my iphone 4s, my iphone got stuck in recovery mode. I don't really care what happens to my contacts, old texts, or apps.. All I want are my pictures. Anyone have any idea on how I can get them back? I have over 1,200 pictures & I none of them can be found on my iCloud. Someone help me save my photos!!

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Ipad stuck in recovery mode after trying to update in ios6

my ipad is stucked in recovery mode since trying to update in ios 6 any help?

Hi there rmarr1,
The only way to get out of recovery mode is by restoring the device via iTunes. If you initiated the update on iTunes on your computer, there may be a back up of the device that created before the update. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

HELP!! iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

Ok my phone is stuck in recovery mode, Ive already restarted my computer & tried to shut down itunes & start it back up, it gets almost done with the restore verification and then it gives me a 1013 or something
what to do?!

Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

My iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after updating to ios5.1

i got my iphone 4 updated to ios 5 months ago and it was successful. However, i was updating my software to ios 5.1 using the phone itself and it went into recovery mode after that. The moment before updating it was fine and now it stuck in recovery mode, showing the itunes logo and usb cable.
I connected my phone to the itunes on my laptop and it shows that my iphone is in recovery mode and must be restored.
I've tried restoring it but after the restoration cycle was done, it pop up a window saying there's an error (1) occuring and my iphone was unable to be restored.
I've tried it again and again for hours from yesterday evening until now but it's still the same. Anyone can help? I got no more phone to use at the moment.

download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.
