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 ?

  • 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...

    I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
    I have tried powering it off
    I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

  • How can I get my phone out of restoration mode without losing my pictures?

    I was trying to back-up my phone on my new laptop, but it somehow disconnected itself, so it went into recovery mode. I was wondering if there was any way of either getting it out of recovery mode, or restoring it, without losing all the pictures I have on it? I did not have my icloud on for my picture roll, so that's out of the question.

    There is a safe boot on a Mac but I have never heard of anything like that on an iPad.
    If you are referring to restore mode where the iPad displays a USB connector and iTunes then the data on the iPad is already gone and you might as well connect it up to your computer and restore so that it works.

  • 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.

  • My iphone 4 is brand new and for some reason is stuck in restore mode, ive tried uninstalling itunes and almost everything else for troubleshooting. how can i get it out of restore mode?

    screen shows USB cord, and an arrow pointing to the iTunes icon. After many attempts to troubleshoot & restore the iPhone 4 with iTunes its still in recovery mode. It  has shown a few error messages like 9 &1013. Can anyone shed any light on this its been two weeks and still nothing?

    Actually, the phone is in recovery mode.
    Error 9 indicates USB connection problem.
    Error 1013 indicates security app interference or alteration of your hosts file by prior use of iphone hacking apps such as tinyumbrella.

    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.
