How do i get my iphone 4s out of recovery mode after trying to update to ios 8.1

Okay, so, my iPhone 4s has been crashing a lot lately and I find myself having to reset it several times a day just to get it to stop. IMessages wont send properly and neither will text messages. Today I decided that maybe it keeps crashing because it is not up to date with the latest software. I plugged my phone into my laptop, backed it up and tried to update it... it crashed...  About 90% of the way through the update, my laptop told me there had been an "Unknown Error (6)" ... after 2 hours of continuously trying to update it, and failing miserably, I downloaded ReiBoot... nothing happened... after a further half an hour my phone has now decided to stop showing the "connect to iTunes" thing on the screen. instead, every time I press the lock button or the home button, it comes up with the apple logo as if my phone is turning on, then nothing happens..
After hours of trying everything I could think of I have given up..
CAN ANYONE AT ALL HELP ME?!?! :/ xx

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.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • 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!

  • How do I get my Iphone 4 out of recovery mode after an update without restoring it?

    I need help trying to get back my iphone to normal. I can't restore it because I didn't back up the video I made 2 days ago and I need it for school. How can I keep everything without restoring it to factory settings or back to what it was when I last backed it up?

    If the device is in Recovery Mode, its contents are toast Now, the best you can do to recover a working usable phone is to plug it via USB to the computer running the latest version of iTunes (11.1.2) where you presumably have the last backup you made of it. And Restore from that.

  • 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

    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 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 4s out of recovery mode if it wont restore?

  • 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.

  • 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.
