How to restore phone after recovery mode

my iphone 5c went into recovery mode after I tried to update to the new ios 8. when I clicked the update option in settings the screen went black then it turned back on with the plug into itunes sign. I plugged it into itunes on my mac and clicked restore but there was an error and it didn"t turn back on. I haven't been able to use my phone for about 4 hours. If you know how I can fix this and maybe how I can do it without completley restoring my iphone please help.     thankyou!

Hi there akira padovan,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. 
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • How to restore ipad in recovery mode

    I am trying to restore an iPad Gen 3 on IOS 6 using recovery mode but iTunes cannot find the backup file on my PC while the iPad is in recovery mode.
    However, on my PC, iTunes shows that a backup exists when I say that I need to do a restore. The restore can't work due to the passcode being in place and not remembered. The iPad needs to be restored becausee the person forgot their passcode.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • ITunes fails to restore phone in recovery mode "Error 4013"

    Here is the deal, iPhone 5 was working all day today, then battery died and when I got home, I plugged it in, but it never powered up!
    I hooked to my MacBook and did a hard reset and while holding down the home bottom, I plugged the USB in, iTunes has detected the iPhone in recovery mode, so I go into the restoring it process, iTunes extracts the software and starts looking for the iPhone, but never finds it. I'm outta warranty, please help!
    Error 4013

    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • Non restoring phone in recovery mode

    My iphone is in recovery mode and says that itunes says it can't restore due to error 4013... while trying to restore, the iphone screen shows what looks like lines of code across the top of the screen and then freezes. This is when the error appears. What can fix this?

    There's another couple of discussions on this. Some suggest disabling your virus protection software, others suggest holding both buttons down as iTunes etc etc. Nothing works.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    
    For without iTunes
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

    HOW DO I RESTORE MY PHONE IN RECOVERY MODE.... THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO BY HOLDING HOME AND OFF BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME?

    are you referring to dfu mode?  I'd only use that if a standard recovery didn't work for some reason.  It's more art than science so you may have to try it a few times...but here is the method I've found to work best:
    DFU mode[1] is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.
    While connected to PC, running iTunes, hold down Home and Power( button on upper right edge) button for exactly 8 seconds. 
    Release the power button.  Continue to hold home button. Restore message will appear in iTunes.  Release home button. The device will be recognized by iTunes, but no display will appear on the device itself.  The lack of a display on the device will verify that it is in dfu mode.
