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.

Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...

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.

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?

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 if it wont restore?

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.

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.
