How do I get phone out of recovery mode?

Tried to update to IOS 8 today and phone froze during the update, from reading lots and lots of articles on the internet I have discovered that it is in recovery mode (with a blue itunes logo). My question is how do I get it out of recovery mode? Itunes does not seem to recognise it when I connect it to my laptop and I have tried the hard reset and also holding the home button while reconnecting.....all help gratefully accepted!!

Make sure that iTunes is up to date, as well as windows (if you are using windows)  You will have to restore the device using iTunes  If iTunes is not recognizing the device in recovery mode, you may need to call Apple Care.  Explain that the device went into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8, and they should help you for no charge.

    i tried to restore my iphone 4s because it kept saying "searching..." for service so i decided to restore it, after having already reset all network settings, and after trying to restore all settings. still, it only said "searching..." for service. finally, i tried to restore my iphone.  when using my macbook, 3/4 through i recieved a message to update my itunes software.  i had to close itunes for the update. when i closed itunes, the iphone restore was in pprogress and having to close the program put my phone into this "recovery mode" with the icon of the usb and the itunes disc logo. i also tried updating and restoring the software with my pc which also didnt work. help?

    hello,
    i have no idea why, but the new update for iphone did not work when i was downloading last night and the phone put itself into recovery mode. i havent synched it with my computer for a while and theres tons of stuff on there that i cant afford to lose if i choose to restore.

  • How to get phone out of recovery mode

    Hello.
    I have recently replaced my screen on my iPhone 4S. I have done many of these and have never had any issues. This time the screen wouldn't turn on so I tried a different screen but still no joy. I have plugged it into iTunes but it just tells me that the phone is in recovery mode. The screen is just black with nothing on it.
    Any help much appreciated

    Sounds like something went wrong when you replaced the screen. The iPhone is not user servicable.
    Find a competent repair shop or buy a new phone. You can no longer get that one serviced by Apple.
    It's a shame as it would have only cost you $199 to get the phone replaced by Apple if it was out of warranty...

  • How to take my phone out of recovery mode without erasing all data

    I recently tried to update my iphone in itunes but an error occured and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and it says that if i restore i will lose all my data. How can i just go back to where i was before i tried to update. I cannot contact apple because i don't have a phone.
    If i recently synched my phone(days ago) why wouldn't it go back to those settings. Itunnes wont even recognize my phone now.
    17 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer.

    Found this, might help. Use at your own risk.
