How to restore my iphone 3G when is on recovery mode all the time.

My iphone 3G is always in recovery mode showing on the screem an usb pointing into and Itunes icom.  I can not unlock it.  How I can restore when I am using windows 7 on my pc? As well I would like to let you know that I am not sure what kind of programs I need to download to resolve my issue. I have heard about "tinyumbrella".
I have some pictures and videos that I do not want to loose. I would appreciate any kind of help to sort out my problem.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Joseph

1.  The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5.  Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?

2.  "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error."  What EXACT error?
3.  "i restored but some things were erased"  What "things"?  Did you get an error again.  Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
4.  Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

  • Iphone 3g randomly goes into recovery mode all the time?

    I have an Iphone 3g version 4.3.5 (8L1). It works fine and i've never dropped it or anything like that. But the first time the problem happened i had just got done sending a text, pushed the lock button, and put it in my pocket. Then a few minutes later i pulled it out to check it and it wouldnt turn on. I held the lock button down and the connect to itunes icon came up, but nothing else. No emergency call option or anything. it wouldnt go away. i connected to itunes and it said it was in recovery mode. I tried to restore it but it came up with an error. i left it and tried again later. i restored but some things were erased. then it worked fine again. but later that night it did it again. so i just plugged it into the charger. in the morning i tried turning it back on again and it turned on without the connect to itunes icon. worked fine all day. but it does this every now and then. when i plug it in it goes back to normal after 10-20 mins. its annoying tho and if im not home my fone is stuck like that until i get back. why does it keep randomly going into recovery mode?

  • Is it better to turn off iPhone at night, or just leave on all the time?

    This has often been asked of computers as well - Is it generally thought better to turn the iphone off at night and charge it (if needed) or just let it stay in standby mode all the time and plug in to charge when needed. In other words, just leave it on all the time and sleep when not in use (like my MBP), or on/off, on/off, on/off, etc...

    I'd leave it on. I would however shut down and restart the phone once a week or so. Not that it will do anything (i don't think)... but it may keep your phone healthy if there are any bugs in memory.

  • My icloud restores my iPhone, but when it starts to re download the apps it stops halfway through

    My icloud starts to restore my new iPhone but when it gets partially through downloading the apps, it stops. It also never downloads the photos from my icloud

    Did you provide the password for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the apps when prompted?

  • IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time.  Only a restore fixes it.  What can I try?

    So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this.  I mean like missing peices.  I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem.  It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use.   For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari.  This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while.   Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails).   The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any.   Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting.  Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work.   The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse.  Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about.  That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together.   This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it.   Do I have to live with it?   What can I try?  Should I maybe replace the battery?  I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

    Please don't respond with useless comments.  I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago.  My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone.  It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find.  Don't be a dickhole.

  • My iPhone 5 restarts after 2-5 minutes all the time!

    My iPhone 5 restarts all the time.
    Worked fine for about a week, but after pressing use for development in Xcode, it started happening.
    Restore to new iPhone did not help.
    Anyone with the same problem?
    - Christian

    I have the same problem man.
    Iphone 5 16g black
    Keeps restarting itself every 2-5 minutes.
    I restored it, did not back it up and start as new phone. Problem still occuring.
    The typing on the phone seems too glichy as well as scrolling on the screen
    Right before the iPhone restarts itself, wavy lines appear and shuts off and reboots.
    Battery fully charged, however the percentage is off. (when charging the % gets stuck at random, not giving accurate reading.)
    As I typed this my iPhone 5 has restarted itself 3 times.
    Apple, please help us out fast. I dont want to drive to the apple store thats 50 miles away either. Thanks!

    Dear All,
    To my recent notice, my iPhone 4S has not been backed up from the time I bought it (4 months ago). After which everytime I go into the <Back-up now> option, it says that 'Last backup could not be completed'. Any suggestions on solving this please
    Not with they limited information you have provided so far. Are you backing up to iCloud or to iTunes on your computer? Do you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer? Was it installed from a Windows or Mac user ID that had administrator privileges? Does the phone show up in iTunes? What is your operating system? Are you using a USB port directly on your computer (not a hub)? If it's a USB port on the computer and you have a desktop or tower computer is the port on the back, not on the front?

  • Is there a way to go back to previous version of software as I don't like vers 1.1. Restoring it does not work and it turns off all the time after around 10 secs

    Is there any way to go back to prvious version  of software befoe 1.1 on ipod nano 6th generation. After update it switches off all the time after about 10 secs and I preferred it when I could listen to songs when in sleep mode without using too much battery power

    Peter,
    That was the problem. They were there, just not properly linked.  I used the one I completed in CS6 trial version (after preflight). When I exported that one and opened it in CS5 all was good.   I think I will make the upgrade as soon as I can afford it, but at least now I can make the system work for my needs. Thank you for your help!

  • How to restore my iphone 3gs when it won't get out of the apple logo loop?

    So my mom's friend gave me her iphone 3gs so she could use it to listen to music. She says that she completly erased the phone but whenever I try to turn it on, it stays on this loop that is charging but with little charge and to the apple logo. The volume button is gone and so you can't press it. Is it possible to make the phone work again? Will the upgraded itunes recognize or is it possible to obtain an itunes version that can recognze it?

    depends on what you have
    do you have vista, 7, or xp
    firmware is like the iphones security that helps run programs
    Firmware is the name given to the set of programs that are an integral part of the operation of a computer’s hardware. They enable to hardware to function properly and allow software to run on the hardware.
    It is called firmware because it’s not software (i.e., the programs that users run on the computer), but it’s also not hardware (the physical objects that make up the computer).
    On the iphone, firmware is the set of operations and tools that sit between the hardware that the phone uses and the software that runs on the phone. It enables features, fixes bugs, and attends to the functioning of the phone.
    Periodically, Apple releases firmware updates to add new functionality to the iphone, correct problems with it, and close security holes.

  • How to over write VBBE data when Delivery is created if at the time of SO creation stock blocking is there

    Hi,
    I want to know how to over write VBBE data after delivery creation if stock blocking is there at the time of SO creation.
    That means I want my confirmed delivery quantity to over write the SO quantity in VBBE table after delivery creation. Please help me with your valuable suggestions...
    Thanks
    Tanmoy

    Hi Tanmoy,
    This should happen automatically. The VBBE entry should reflect the quantity of the delivery requirement. Is it possible for you to post screenshots illustrating exactly what is happening on your system?

  • How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

    I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
    I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
    Please help me.
    im

    My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
    You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
    There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.
