Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?
Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
I've already updated my iTunes to the latest version available for PC. The phone is stuck in recovery mode and if I disconnect it from the computer it goes black and then cycles in the reboot screen. All im trying to do is restore to factory settings.
Hi Richard_NMLB,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone is currently stuck in Recovery Mode, and/or you are unable to restore it from iTunes, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (bit unclear what exactly is happening when you try to restore):

Ipod touch 3g stuck between recovery mode and apple sign
Hello everyone,
I was hoping someone could assist me... I have an iPod Touch 3g (32gb) that is stuck in recovery mode. Once in a while, it'll go to the start up Apple Logo... but then it'll go back to the recovery mode/connect to iTunes screen. To add to the fun, sometimes it would go into regular iPod mode and I can surf the net, and do regular things. However, when it goes into that mode... the screen would flicker between the regular screen and a greyish screen. At that point, I shut the iPod off... but when I do that the iPod will turn itself back on (yes, it's strange).
Anyone with any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried to recovery the iPod on iTunes... once it "succeeds", it goes back telling me to recover the iPod again so it's basically looping. I've tried to recover this device with another computer with iTunes... same result. I can't get this thing on DFU mode.. as it won't respond to it. I've also tried various USB cables.
Is there any hope? (or any ideas in terms of what could be causing the issues)
Thanks a bunch.Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here. It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

Restored ipod, it is stuck in recovery mode and the driver cant be found
My ipod touch screen was nonresponsive, so I retored it. It is now stuck in recovery mode. When I connect it to my computer it says it is unable to find driver software. How can I resolve this issue. Is there a site I can go to for Apple to download the missing driver, if so how do I do this?
Remove an reinstall iTunes, this should bring your needed drivers back:

IPod Touch 4g stuck in recovery mode and lock button broken
A few days ago my lock button stopped functioning, and seeing as I'm not brave enough to try and fix it myself and I haven't been able to take it to get fixed anywhere yet, I just enabled the internal lock button feature and, frankly, hoped for the best. This afternoon I connected it to iTunes because after updating to iOS 6 too many things have been going wrong. There was an error message (I can't remember which one :S) but stupidly I decided to restore it (mainly in the hope that iOS 6 would sort itself out I guess). Once it had finished extracting files, there was another error message, which again I can't remember, but it was something along the lines of iPod cannot be restored basically. Then it went into recovery mode, and I've been unplugging, plugging in, shutting down my computer and all sorts of things all evening. As far as I can tell, the only way out of recovery mode is to hold the lock button and the home button down for thirty seconds ish until the apple logo comes up. Except my lock button doesn't work. I guess I'll just try and get it fixed this weekend but if there are any other solutions that would be awesome! Thanks!
- Let the battery fully drain and try again to restore after charging for at least an hour.
- Try on another computer

IPhone 5 stuck at recovery mode. Can't recover, unknown error (2001).
I've upgraded my 3GS to an iPhone 5 about 3 weeks back, and I was resonably happy with the 6.0.1 installed.
After upgrading to 6.0.2, the battery in my iPhone 5 began to drain and could only last for a maximum of 4-5 hours. I've tried it all, tweaking the settings to conserve power, even tried some solutions posted on other forums, restoring back to factory settings, doing a soft reset, hard reset, even tried redownloading the iOS 6.0.2 and I think the worst just happened ...
Battery died (cuz I'm out of power right.)
Charged it to Apple's USB power outlet.
Stuck at Apple boot logo, wouldn't proceed but instead it tries booting again, and again, and again....
So I tried a hard reset, and put it into DFU mode, hopefully it will be stable again after recovery.
Plug my iPhone back to my Mac OSX 10.8.2, iTunes tries to unpack the OS and attempts the restore...
Instead, it's now stuck at the recovery mode, and iTunes gives me, "The iPhone cannot be restored. an unknown error occured (2001)."
And then, the iPhone attempts to restart, goes back to connect to iTunes mode (DFU) and the cycle then repeat itself again.
Any of you guys having the same issue? I can't seem to find a fix anywhereI've sent it in to my local telco to get a replacement because I simply can't find another way around it.
Has anyone tried with the new iOS update to 6.1.0? Let me know if it works. I'm still waiting for a replacement from Maxis (Apple's Authorised iPhone after sales support here in Malaysia).
They have a stupid policy of waiting up to 2 weeks before I get a replacement. At the meantime, Maxis just expects me to be phone-less for 2 whole week although they have prepared back-up iPhone5 stocks for a 1on1 exchange. Their reason: Oh, we cannot read your IMEI no, we need to send it back to the distributor.
This frustrates and furiates me. Why can't Apple Malaysia be more professional about it like how it's done in U.S.?
Gahhhhhhhh.... -
My iPod Touch is stuck in Recovery mode and would not respond. Please Help!
Hi! I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. Yesterday, I tried to update to iOS 4.0 from 3.1.3 by way of shift-click restore because my iPod was jailbroken. When the restore process was about 95% done, I received a "Send Error Report" and in every time I do it whether if I am downgrading back to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3.
My iPod touch is still stuck in DFU/Recovery mode. I tried using another of my USB cable, USB port, and computers but to no avail. I even reinstalled iTunes and I still get the same result.
Please does anyone know how to fix this?Restoring and updating normally also produces the same result.

How do I get out of recovery mode, that my ipod touch suddenly went into, after updating last night? It does not recognize my ipod anymore and I don't want to restore it back to factory conditions. I have tons of things on the ipod and don't want to lose them! Is there any other way to get out of this 'recovery mode'??
No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
- A reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode.
