  • How would i fix my iPhone 4 that is stuck in recovery mode and wont properly restore with error code 21?

    I've already updated my iTunes to the latest version available for PC. The phone is stuck in recovery mode and if I disconnect it from the computer it goes black and then cycles in the reboot screen.  All im trying to do is restore to factory settings.

    Hi Richard_NMLB,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone is currently stuck in Recovery Mode, and/or you are unable to restore it from iTunes, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (bit unclear what exactly is happening when you try to restore):

  • IPhone 3GS - stuck in recovery mode and does not reset

    I cant restore my Iphone 3GS. I get the restore message, pushed the restore button and the progressbar starts. Then I get the message that an "unknown problem has occured" after a while in the process. When I push the ON/OFF button I get the connect-to-Itunes-picture and the same restore message pops up. I've tried everything.
    Can someone help me please?

    FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
    Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
    Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • I tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??

    i tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??

    Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
    If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

  • My iPod (4 gen) is stuck in recovery mode and it will not restore. How do I fix it?

    So here is what happened: my iPod went dead and when I went to plug it in to charge I noticed it wasn't doing the normal little battery charging symbol nor did it pop up with the apple symbol. When I opened up iTunes it told me that my iPod was stuck in recovery mode and that the only way to fix it was by restoring it. As much as it pained me to do so I did it anyways. It did the routine update and restore window, I waited the 28 minutes, but still nothing. Now when I go to restore it a window pops up that says that the iPod cannot be restored because the iPod update server cannot be contacted or is currently unavailable. I'm at a loss. This the the only form of communication that I have available to me and I need it fixed A.S.A.P. Please help!
    Additional Details
    My iPod is NOT jailbroken.
    Now it says and unknown error occurred (3194) please help!
    The lock/hold button on my iPod is broken. My iPod cannot be locked, unlocked, or shut down using this button.

    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

    How do I eject a DVD that just keeps turning in drive but will not eject?

    check out Kappy's user tip:
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following: /usr/bin/drutil eject.
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above.
    To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • TS1538 My ipod 4th gen. is stuck on recovery mode, and it is stuck on the screen that says connect to itune. I tried plugging it to the computer with an undamaged cabel and bringing up itunes, but itunes or my computer isnt reconizing it.

    My ipod 4th generation is stuck on recovery mode and is stuck on the screen that says to connect to the itunes store. I already tried using a non-damaged cable and connecting it to itunes, but the ipod is not showing up as a device on my computer or on itunes. I cant fix the recovery screen until i can coinnect it to itunes... so does someone have any suggestions?

    Try:                           
    - 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.

  • After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past.  How can I get the flexible orientation back??

    After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past.  How can I get the flexible orientation back??

    I agree with what FoxFifth has said, but I want to add a little to the discussion and put my own twist on the explanation.
    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen.
    If you are running iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
