How to get my iPod out of recovery mode when itunes won't restore it

My iPod touch is in recovery mode and will not exit it, i've tried clicking the home button and lock button in the stated order on youtube etc but it has not worked. I clicked restore on iTunes and it downloads it all and updates but then does nothing and gives me the option to restore it all over again. I honestly have no clue what to do about it.

Loop
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did. Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone.
It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones. You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists.

How to get my Itouch out of Recovery mode? Without restoring it

When i plugged in my itouch into a different itunes a message came up saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Since this is not my itunes can is there a way to not restore it?

Authorizing the computer has nothing to do with getting the iPod out of recovery mode. A program like the following may work. However, some error happened in the iPod and necessitated theiPod going inoto recovery mode.

How do i get my ipod out of recovery mode?

It tells me to connect my ipod to itunes and when i do i says i need to restore and update my ipod so i click the button that says restore and update and within a few seconds it says error. I cannot get it out of recovery mode no matter how much i try or do.

Maybe:
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

Hello People,
My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
Any suggestions please post below this thread.
Best Regards,
Kieran

You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1

How to get my phone out of recovery mode so I can restore it? iPhone 5

My iPhone 5 kept saying "Searching..." at the top when I was in a place I normally get full service LTE. After a really long time staying in "searching..." mode, and toggling between airplane mode on/off, and looking through my settings and checking everything, I decided to use my last resort option to restore it through iTunes. I backed everything up from my phone onto my computer including photos so I am 100% okay with anything being erased. I tried to restore it, but after successfully "extracting the software", the restoration process began and then when it was almost finished, it stops about 75% of the way there only to give me an "Unknown Error" message saying how my device cannot be restored. Now I think my phone is stuck in recovery mode and on the device itself there is a picture of a wire being pointed at the red iTunes music note symbol saying to connect to iTunes. Not that it helps. Because when I do that, nothing happens. I could try to restore it again only to have it fail. And now my phone is officially unusable because it appears to be stuck in recovery mode or on this screen that says to connect to iTunes. It doesn't matter if I try to turn it off with the lock button/home button. Nothing gets me out of this screen. I need help! Cannot afford a new phone at the moment. Please, anyone with advice would be greatly appreciated. If you have a similar issue I extend my deepest empathy but please do not comment saying "I have this problem too" or anything like that because I just wanna get this solved. Thank you!!!

*** I should add that it fails when it says "Restoring iPhone Firmware".

How to get iphone 4 out of recovery mode?

Hello I was trying to update my phone and now it's stuck in recovery mode. I have tried everything I could think of and nothing seems to be working. I hooked it up to iTunes to do a restore and it won't restore it just keeps giving me a download message. I will let you know that I had changed my itunes password but had not made the change in my phone so could that be the problem for it not updating or even staying stuck in recovery mode? If anyone can help me with this problem I would love that it's turning me crazy. I need my phone. Please help!!!!
