Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

I have attempted to update my iPhone to ios8. My phone has gone into recovery mode. I have tried all of your recommendation and it will not come out of recovery mode. HELP!
Without knowing what you did and exactly what happened (error messages) all I can suggest is:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

my phone has gone into recovery mode on its own. says to connect to itunes. i have restored it 10 times and it does nothing please help me i am out of the country and desparate
Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

My iphone 3Gs has gone into recovery mode after updating via itunes..help..
I plugged my iphone 3gs into itunes yesterday and it started to update the software - presumabley to 10.5? - came back to it an hour later and it was displaying an image of a usb cable and itunes symbol which i now undertand means its gone into recovery mode.
I tried to restore it to the factory settings as advised but it won't work. Its telling me "This device could not be restored, it is not eligible for the requested build"
Please help - this phone is not jailbroken!Ok, after 2 nights searching forums and trying different things I have managed to find a solution. I had to add a '# ' at the begining of the host directory. This means nothing to me and I had to follow the steps in the following link but it worked perfectly -

Is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?
is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?
No, by the time its in recovery mode it's too late. The contents of the phone are gone. Did enable any of the ways that Apple provides to back up photos?
Backup the phone to your computer
Automatic daily iPhone backup to iCloud
enable Photo Stream
Copy photos to your computer using a USB cable and a compatible photo management utility on your computer
Enable Photo Sharing
Enable Photo Library backup
OR any of the 3rd party photo management solutions, such as Google Picasa, Google+, Facebook, Shutterfly?
OR any of the cloud sharing services such as box.com or dropbox?
If you have set up any one of these your photos can be retrieved from it. -

hi, please help i have just tried updating the software on my phone and it says it has gone into recovery mode and it wants to reset it - how do i get it out of this without losing everything?
If the iPhone is in recovery mode, everything is already gone. Restore from
iCloud or your back up. -
I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. I have been doing it for last 12 hours. Help!
Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?
