Doing a search on Google revealed this:
if you ever edited your hosts file ...change it back. basically do the reverse of this to about step 5:
mac
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7556
windows
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7557
(editing the file back to the original worked for me)
Follow those instructions and see if that helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What does Error -1 mean? It wont let me restore my iphone 4s HELP? its stuck in recovery mode!

    Got my iphone sceen replaced by a local guy... iphone 4s is only 4 months old.. got the mobile back and it had no signal so i went to do a restore on the iphone and it came up with Error-1 and is now stuck in recovery mode.. tried everything possible, New computer.. updating itunes etc... Just wont move from recovery mode and wont restore at all. Think my warrenty would be void as i got my screen replaced by someone else..? Would apple accept this mobile back as ts only 4 months old

    Error -1 is most often failure of the iPhone baseband chip. You are correct about warranty lapse, however Apple Genius can be very helpful. Let them try to Restore the iPhone at the Apple Store. See if they have fix for Error -1. Make Genius Reservation so you can avoid long wait.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode, I can't even reset it to factory settings

    I wrote a post before this but it seems like it got deleted???
    My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode and I've tried everything but nothing works! I can't even reset it to factory settings because I keep getting the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Is there any way that I can reset it to factory settings without using iTunes?
    I've searched all over the web, haven't found anything on this... I've tried all the apps that help exit from recovery mode but none of them work!
    Please, any help is appreciated! Thank you!

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed update.

    Hi, I have a bad situation here... My iPhone 5 got stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update to iOS 7.1.1 from 7.0.4 and it failed (error code 6). If this was my iPod touch I would just restore it because all I have is music, but this iPhone has all my sisters graduation photos, important photos, important school documents, contacts, app data, videos from concerts. Etc. I was wondering if I could get the photos off the phone before restoring it, because they are important. I know I should've backed up my photos and made a backup of the phone, but I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if there is any way to get the photos and app data back. The app data doesn't really matter but the photos do. The device was not jailbroken or hacked in any way.
    If you could help, tell me ASAP.
    -JP

    When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed.  The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.   
    You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet".  This is Apple's technical support forum.  We do know what we're talking about.
    since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them?  This is how the phone is meant to be used.  Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish.  Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update?  As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
    I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson.  BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer?  I'm sure you have important data on your computer.  Hard drives WILL fail.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted to downgrade from iOS5 Beta

    Hi,
    There was a bug being reported in one of my apps, but I couldn't replicate it.  I tried to downgrade back to 4.3.5 to see if iOS 5 was the reason that I couldn't replicate it,  but now my phone is stuck in Recovery Mode.
    I have restored Xcode 4.1, iTunes 10.4.1 to remove iOS5 from my mac.  Now I'm stuck in the cycle: connect me to iTunes screen -> Preparing to restore -> Unknown error code 1604.
    Will I get help at an Apple store? Or do I now just have an expensive door stop?

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

    I GOT THE SOLUTION!!
    This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
    The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
    Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
    Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
    Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
    Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode URGENT

    Hi there. My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode when I tried recovering it a few hours ago. I've used two different USB cables, re-installed iTunes twice, followed all the methods for iTunes not recognizing my iPhone and still it doesn't work. It just simply doesn't recognize it and when I connect it it wants me to install 'Apple Mobile Device Support (Recovery Mode)' which I do already seem to have installed if I go into 'Manage Drivers'. I've tried re-installing Apple Mobile Device Support and using DFU mode but that doesn't help either. Help! I really need my phone for tomorrow!

    Take it to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) and see if they can help you...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
