How can i get a iphone 3G out of recovery mode without restoring it

Need Help, How can I get a iPhone 3G out of recovery mode without restoring it. it has never been backed up so restoring it will loose all contacts etc.

You can't get it out of recovery mode without restoring it. 
If it's in recovery mode, your data's almost certainly gone anyway.

    You don't.  so hopefully you've been keeping regular backups.

  • How do you get your iPhone 5 out of recovery mode without restoring it?

    I plugged in my phone and tried to update it to iOS 7.1.1 but something happened and it told me to plug my phone into itunes and restore it.
    I have an iPhone 5, it's not jail broken.
    I haven't gotten the chance to backup on phone on my new laptop yet so I have no way of getting all my photos and contacts back.
    Please help!

    There is no way to recover your content if you have no backups and once it is in recovery mode it is too late to back it up. Are you sure you didn't set it to back up automatically to iCloud as prompted when you first set it up? How about the backup from your previous computer?

    You CANNOT get your phone out of recovery mode without restoring.  Either restore your phone, or sit there with a broken, useless phone. 
    Your choice.

  • How can I get this iPhone 5 out of Recovery Mode?

    I'm sure there are many questions asking the same thing, but my situation seems a little different than what I've read so far.
    I was attempting to restore a new iPhone 5 from a previous backup from an iPhone 3. After waiting for the 5 to download the new update (6.0.2), it started the restoration process, but stopped right before it was finished and gave me an "unknown error 6". I can't seem to make sense of what error 6 is, no matter what I read in forums.
    Since then, the phone has been in Recovery Mode. I cannot get to the home screen, it WILL NOT restore completely, and every time I try I get the error 6 message. This phone is useless right now, and I am unable to restore it.
    I've tried TinyUmbrella, restoring in DFU, and nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have a clue as to where I can go from here? Any ideas are much appreciated.

  • Is there a way I can get my iPhone 4 out of recovery mode without restoring it?

    I recently came back from an amazing trip to Europe and I took so many photos on my iPhone, sadly on the way back it froze so I put it into recovery mode because it wouldn't connect to iTunes. Finally it did, but now I have to restore it and I didn't even get a chance to sync my photos, apps, contacts, etc. Is there some sort of third party software that can assist me?

    Hi,
    Firstly, very sorry to hear this has happened to you, have you simply tried holding the home and top button in until you see the apple logo and seeing if this will reboot the iPhone?
    I can understand your pain , there are some apps out there but I would not recommend for the novice user and I unfortunately there is no guarantee, if you are more novice, try googling "recboot", if your more advanced, you should google "ibooter"
    Good luck.

  • How can I take my iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and the power button is broken?

    How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?

    Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

  • How do I get my iPhone 4S out of Recovery Mode w/o restoring? (got stuck when upgrading to ios 7)

    Last night I upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios 7, and this morning when I went to use it I was stuck in Recovery Mode - How do I get my iPhone 4S out of it w/o restoring? I have photos, contacts, etc  Iwant to get off the phone. I tried Tiny Umbrella and RecBoot but no dice. I was not able to get any help from the Apple tech on the phone. They only suggestions offered were to check to see if iPhoto or the Finder would show my device so I could copy over my photos.
    Thanks, Chad

    See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    That error usually means that your computer antivirus is blocking the update.
    It can also mean that your phone was jailbroken, or your computer was used to jailbreak some iOS device in the past.

  • Is there a way to get iphone 4s out of recovery mode without restoring it?

    i was just using my iphone 4s normally and it just froze randomly. i held down the power and home button like i usually do, because my phone freezes up on me somewhat often. i saw a "connect to itunes" screen that i have never seen before, and once i connected it to itunes, it said that it was in recovery mode and the only way i could use it is to restore it. problem: i don't want to lose everything on my phone! everytime i've tried to back it up something crashes so i've never been able to back it up, so if i restore it i've lost all my pictures for good. is there a way to get it out of recovery mode without restoring it? please help!

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

  • How do I get my iphone 4 out of recovery mode

    I am having trouble getting my iphone out of recovery mode. While getting my upgrade my phone became detached from the computer in the middle of the download and went into recovery mode.  I have tried to restore the phone however while itunes is extracting data my phone will reset itself after so long before itunes can finish extracting data and when it does my itunes will not pick it.  Any suggestions??

    You can try this it has always worked for me:
    Try holding both the home button and power button until it shuts off and you see the apple logo come up.
    After that does take your finger off the power button WHILE STILL HOLDING the home button.
    This should send your phone into DFU mode where you can use the recovery option to kick it out of that mode.

  • How do i get my iphone 5 out of recovery mode after trying to install ios 7

    Alright, so i tried to install ios 7 and i got an error saying that the ios 7 update got a problem and so then my phone went into recovery mode. i installed tiny umbrella to get it out of recovery and it worked, so then i tried to install ios 7 again and it got another error this time my phone had already been switched to the ios 7 format but was not completely done, so my phone went into recovery mode again. so i tried tiny umbrella again and it just kept going back to recovery mode. i tried to restore my phone after trying to look for another way to get my phone out of recovery mode and i got nothing so i decided to restore my phone and i then get another freaking error saying that itunes could not restore due to a problem, then i just decided to try tiny umbrella one last time and it didnt work. so i tried to restore again but now my phone is not being detected on itunes so i cant do anything, and my phone is stuck in recovery mode... all i was trying to do is get the new update and now my phone is dead, it wont do anything please help!!

    Use tinyumbrella. Connect your iphone, click on the random string of numbers that appears in the recover devices window, and click "exit recovery". That solved my problem, and it may solve yours. Give it a shot.

  • How do I get my iPhone 5 out of recovery mode?

    I went to update to ios 7, and when I did my phone automatically shut down and went into recovery mode. Then, I hooked it up to the computer and restored my phone. It told me that the restore could not be completed. I have attempted the restore multiple times and I still can not get the phone out of recovery mode. Help!!!!

    If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are gone.  The only way to get your phone working again is to restore.
    Sorry for your data loss, but let this be a tough lesson learned about the importance of backing up data frequently.

  • I can't get my iPhone 5 out of Recovery mode, help?!

    I plugged my phone into my macbook pro and Itunes asked me to update the phone's software, and now I cannot get out of recovery mode. Does this mean I have to restore my phone?

    Yes.  You need to restore the phone.  If you connected the phone to your computer, it should be backed up in iTunes.  Possibly iCloud as well.
