HELP! iTunes 8.2.1 update and iPhone stuck in recovery mode!!!!

When I started iTunes today it asked if I wanted to update to 8.2.1. I agreed.
Now, my iPhone is stuck in recovery mode (USB plug + iTunes icon on the iPhone screen).
My phone is useless at this point. I DEPEND on having this phone working, and NEED the data stored on this phone.
How can I simply get my phone working again?

Unfortunately, that does not help me either.
At this point the phone will not come out of recovery mode without being restored. All my data is going to be lost.
Thanks for letting me have access to backup my data, APPLE! -- NOT!
I'll be glad when my cell contract is over.

Do you have to restore your iPhone again? You could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. You could also try checking out this link.

IOS 8.1 update and iPhone 5 to recovery mode ?

Ios 8.1 update is taking the iPhone 5 to recovery mode iTunes wouldn't update or restore sighting err=9006 on download of the os.
Any way to save data and get out of the mess ?

Some security software prevents your iPhone 5 from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your iPhone 5. Thus, please read: Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
If nothing is wrong with security software, you can try some recovery tool, like Dr.Fone for iOS to get your iPhone 5 back to normal. Install the tool on your computer and connect your iPhone 5 to computer. If Dr.fone detects that your iPhone 5 is in abnormal mode, click the Restart the device button on the window of Dr.Fone. Then, your iPhone 5 will be back to normal.
Besides Dr.Fone can scan all data on your iPhone 5 and save them to your computer. or,after your iPhone 5 becomes normal, you can also use iTunes or iCloud to backup data .

Iphone stuck in recovery mode trying to update

I was attempting to update to the new ios 8. I did this all in the normal way as i usually do. When it got to the extracting software at the top of the itunes screen it took about 1 hour for this to nearly reach the end. then just before it reached the end it stopped and said it could not be restored as the iphone could not be found. now the iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and every time i connect it to itunes it says i need restore which i do and then the same thing keeps happening. it goes to extracting software bar for an hour and then stops just as it is about to finish.
i have a laptop with windows xp and have installed latest itunes, i have attempted rebooting everything with no joy.
please help.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

Follow exactly what I wrote below to fix iPhone stuck in recovery mode:
Hold both power button & home button for 10 seconds.
Once the device shuts off release the power button and keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds.
The screen will remain black, plug it up to iTunes and see if it detects it.
If that does not work hold both buttons to make device shut down, once screen is off hold the home button while plugging it up to PC.
Do not let go of home button till recovery screen shows up on your device.

HT201263 My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone

My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol, then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.

Hello Hester Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process. I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Take care,
Alex H.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode, what now

iphone stuck in recovery mode, what do i do now pls?

Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.

Was updating my iPhone 4 to the latest ios and now stuck in recovery mode.

Was updating my iPhone 4 to the latest ios 5.1 (i believe) and a error message came up (didn't make a note of the error code sorry) but now phone is stuck in recovery mode with the USB wire and iTunes logo on. PC wont reconise iPhone when plug it in either. I had to delete an old back up before the update as i didn't have enough space on PC to do the update before but was told that during the update it backs up again anyway. I have looked in Device backup's and there is nothing there I have a feeling i'm going to have to restore it but hopefully there is another way as i wont be left with anything on the phone.
Any help please.
Many Thanks.

Sorted it now, took it to Apple store and explained etc. was nothing could do but restore the phone. Was told to make sure itunes on PC was up-to-date version before updating iphone which could have caused the error.

IPhone won't update to 6.1 and is stuck in recovery mode

I attempted to update my iPhone from 6.0.1 to 6.1 today; however, in doing so iTunes informed me that the update could not be verified. Upon receiving this message, I thought that my phone would just go back to how it was, but that wasn't the case. The iPhone 4s is now stuck in recovery mode. It just keeps shutting down and going back to the apple logo. In addition to this, I am unable to put the phone in DFU mode due to the fact that my power button randomly stopped working a few weeks ago. Any ideas on how to regain use of my iPhone? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, I tried to update to whatever the last version was as I hadn't got that 33mb update yet, during the process my phone froze. I tried to unfreeze my phone by giving it a hard reboot (holding the home and power button) but now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.
I tried various programs that provide a "recovery mode fix" none worked.
Manually downloaded the latest ipsw as I failed five times from 5AM to try and get iTunes to download the latest version and restore my phone.
When I try to restore to iOS 8 I get "this iPhone could not be restored (error 2003)" and it has been like this for 12 hours. 12 hours I've been without a phone and all I wanted to do was update my software? What a joke. I have no idea how I'm going to fix this as literally everything I have tried has failed.

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.
