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 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.

  • How to get iPhone out of recovery mode?

    OK, i need to get my phone out of recovery mode. The thing is, i do NOT want to restore my iPhone to factory settings, i have so much stuff on there like notes and calendar dates and text messages and contacts that i have put in since my last update. Is my only option to go ahead with the restore or is there another way to get my phone out of recovery mode? Is there a way to save my data?

    I had exactly same problem and when I called apple i-phone support, she told me to select restore the phone but all the data should be in the i-phone backup and will not be deleted.
    I followed her directions and I could restore my phone without deleting any of my stored musics, photos, and other info.
    The tricky thing is after you click the restore, it showed the error message and you need to unplug your i-phone from the computer and restart your computer again. Then open the i-tune without connecting your i-phone. Once you open i-tune, connect your i-phone then restore again.
    After restore the i-phone, it ask you to backup or set as new phone. Choose backup from your i-phone. Then all your data should be restored.
    Whole process takes about half hour but all your data should be recovered from the i-phone backup folder.

  • How to get ipad out of recovery mode?

    how do I get my ipad OUT of recovery mode.  i don't want anything deleted.

    If you are already in recovery mode, then your data is already lost. Your only option is to restore through iTunes then reload your most recent backup which you say was some time ago. This is why you need to backup everything at least once a week. Then when problems arise, you haven't lost a lot of information.

  • How to get ipod out of recovery mode

    I have an ipod 1st generation (I think).  It wouldn't access itunes because it needed an update.  I installed itunes on my laptop and tried to run the update.  It freaked the ipod out so that it is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes is not able to restore it.  I have watched several videos, but nothing is working.  Please help..

    What happens when you try to restore via iTunes? Error message? have you tried another computer and cable?

  • How to get iPad out of recovery mode without restore?

    My iPad randomly went into recover mode when I was updating to the latest ios software, 7.1.2. I had already downloaded the update, and this happened while it was installingthe update. I had not backed up for a long time now, and I am getting really scared that I will lose everything. Can anyone PLEASE help me by guiding me to get my iPad up and running again without losing my data. After all, I have done nothing wrong here.

  • TS1441 How to get ipod out of recovery mode without erasing everything?

    All I did was plug in my ipod to update it to 6.1 and then it somehow got into recovery mode, and I don't want all my bookmarks and pictures to be erased! I plugged it into the exact same computer I always do. Somehow when itunes opened though it acted like it was a new program...when it wasnt.

    Finish the recovery and then restore from your backup.

  • How to get phone out of restore mode or atleast switch on if i do not want to update ?

    I was on a call when my cell went into restore mode. When i connected it with itunes, it offered restore with an update. i got a sucky connection so it's not able to get the download in one go. so the real problem here is, how do i start my phone or restore it without going for jailbreak ??
    And i was able to download the update from a site offering jailbreak. Now that update file is of the same size as that of the update being offered on the itunes so i assume its the same but when i press "shift+restore" and chose that file, itunes tries to verify this update file with apple and then shows "error 40", and then silently denies me the chance of using my phone. can i use that update file in anyway without hurting apple's feelings ?

  • Losing hope on being able to get ipod out of recovery mode.

    I have tried evrything I have found to do. Disable firewall and antivirus, watched multiple tutorial videos on how to get it out of recovery mode, tried(and failed) DFU mode. Just  nohing seems to work. I coninue to get errors when I try to contact update servers, and when I don't get the errors at first and it begins to update and restore, it'll get partially through, then give me an error. I just want my iPod back. It's been 3 long boring days of trying to do the same thing. Please help, anyone.

    It's impossible to say exactly why it went into recovery mode. To get it out, plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

    You don't. Once it's in recovery mode, anything that was on the phone is already gone.
