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.

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.

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!

Hello Jeff,
Based on what you stated, it seems that the restore is not going through because if a specific build you are trying to install. Check out the article below to walk you through resolveing the issue by checking the host file or jus ttring to restore your iPhone on a different computer all together.
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

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.

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:

dfu mode
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
Exit DFU mode on iPhone
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch.

My iPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.1.2

I have an iPhone 4s and today I received a notification to update to iOS 7.1.2 so I started to install it, it failed the first time I tried cause I didn't have enough space in my phone, i deleted a few apps and then tried again. While it was installing, the apple logo appeared, I thought the update would be successful, but then the iTunes logo with the charging cable below appeared, meaning that my phone was (is) in recovery mode.
I tried pressing home and unlock/lock button at the same time until the Apple logo appears again but it didn't work since it sent me back to the recovery mode screen.
I tried using Tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode but it didn't work.
I tried restoring my phone in iTunes but I got unknown error 3194 and it didn't work.
I'm desperate to solve this, I've been looking for answers for 4 straight hours.
I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could help me ASAP.

My iPhone 4S is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to 6.1

I was given the option to update to to thenew 6.1, and upon my phone resetting after the download I got the (-1) error and my phone was thrown into recovery mode.
I have tried to restore my phone 5 times and each time I keep getting the -1 error code.
Shutting it down with the home key / powe on off button does nothing but return me to the screen where my phone shows me the "plug me into iTunes" photo.
Anyone else wonder if this is apple's way of hitting people up for a $20.00 service fee right after their one year warranty is up?
Can someone 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!

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.

IPod Touch 4G stuck in recovery mode after trying to update iOS!

so while trying to update to the newest iOS (6.1), the iPod just went into recovery mode and has been stuck there ever since. When I try restoring it, it always begins "Extracting software.." only to then tell me "The iPod cannot be restored at this time because the iPod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable".
I have tried literally EVERYTHING to restore it but it just won't work!
Also when I run Diagnostics, everything is fine, except for my iTunes Store connectivity part, where it says that the internet connection failed, even though my Internet works just fine & I can open my browser as well as browse the iTunes Store.
Someone said to let the iPod drain & then recharge for 1 hour & I'll try doing that now but I don't think it'll help much..
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ANYMORE :-( someone please help!

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

My ipod 4 is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to 8.0.2

I started to download the new update this morning when it said i did not have enough memory for it, so i deleted a few things and re tried and this time it worked. However once it was done downloading it said i needed to install it, which when i pressed for it to install then said i did not have enough memory to install, so once again i deleted a few things and pressed for it to install again but this caused my iPod to go into recovery mode. when i plugged it into my computer and started up iTunes it said i needed to restore my iPod, having a back up already i did not really care so i selected for it to restore and update however all that happens is the loading bar that says connecting to iPod update server which after a few seconds closes and at the same time my iPod disconnects from iTunes. i have tried multiple times to update and restore it but the same thing keeps happening. has this anyone got a fix?

Try the following. Jump to DFU mode.
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also maybe:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
