HT201210 How do I get my Iphone4 out of recovery mode if restoring the phone on numerous occasions does not work?

I was attempting to do the newest IOS 7 update and halfway through the reboot my phone froze. I attempted to restart the reboot by shutting the phone off but when it came back on it showed a USB cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol. When I plugged the phone in it stated that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to by restored. When I attempted to restore the phone it "extracted data" for approximately 30 min and then stated the phone could not be found. I tried this 4 separate times and took the phone to the local Verizon store who tried the same thing with the same results. What do I do?

How do i get my iphone4 out of recovery mode?

I attempted to update my iphone4 to the new update ios6 or whatever it is. It downloaded the new update and for some reason an error occurred and i had to restore it, so i thought yep okay righto. during the last stage of the restoring process ('restoring firmware') a popup comes up and says 'The iphone 'iphone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (-1).' So.. my iphone4 is stuck in recovery mode. I cant restore it to get it out of recovery mode.. So now it is just a complete brick.. Its been like this for 24hours and i have spent around 6 hours researching and playing around with it and i am now stumped, i spent an 1 on the phone to Apple and all they managed to solve was that there is a problem with the firmware. I have tried to restore it on another PC laptop and a Mac Desktop. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could please give me a soloution to fix this mess..

Hello kazzi11,
It sounds to me that your iPhone is already in recovery mode but when you connect it to iTunes the computer does not recognize it. If you have not already tried the steps in the following article to put the iPhone into into recovery mode, I would suggest that first. If the computer is not recognizing your iPhone when you go through the steps, be sure to follow the steps for Mac or steps for Windows link at the bottom of the article.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thanks for reaching out,

HT4061 how do I get my iPad out of recovery mode, Apple are asking for my serial number can not do as it is locked can not enter at all

my ipad is locked with the itunes icon & cable on the screen I believe this is recovery mode?? how do I get it to work again

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

You can't. If your phone is in recovery mode, the data are already gone.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

Is there a way to get iphone 4s out of recovery mode without restoring it?

i was just using my iphone 4s normally and it just froze randomly. i held down the power and home button like i usually do, because my phone freezes up on me somewhat often. i saw a "connect to itunes" screen that i have never seen before, and once i connected it to itunes, it said that it was in recovery mode and the only way i could use it is to restore it. problem: i don't want to lose everything on my phone! everytime i've tried to back it up something crashes so i've never been able to back it up, so if i restore it i've lost all my pictures for good. is there a way to get it out of recovery mode without restoring it? please help!

How can I get my ipad out of recovery mode without losing all of my data

I plugged my ipad into my laptop to charge, it went into recovery mode, I cannot lose my data. How can I save my data and get out of recovery mode?

Unplug it from your laptop and try a reset:
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
If it goes back into Recovery Mode then unfortunately your data is already lost.
Restore from your iCloud or iTunes backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

How do i get my ipod out of recovery mode?

It tells me to connect my ipod to itunes and when i do i says i need to restore and update my ipod so i click the button that says restore and update and within a few seconds it says error. I cannot get it out of recovery mode no matter how much i try or do.

Maybe:
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

How do I take my iPod out of "Recovery Mode" without restoring to factory settings?

(iPod 4th Gen, Windows 7)
I hadn't synced my iPod touch for a long time, because just before Christmas, my antivirus stopped working on my laptop, and I got a virus. I was unable to do anything. Because of my circumstances, I wasn't able to get my computer back to normal until just about a week ago. During the time I didn't have access to my computer, I made a lot of purchases in the iTunes app.
Now that I have access to my computer again, I tried to sync my iPod. Since it had been a while, I needed to update it. Something must have happened during the update, but I don't know what. All I know is that now my iPod will only show the "Connect to iTunes" screen (so I can't use it at all), and when I connect to iTunes, it says my iPod is in "Recovery Mode." My purchases were not synced to my computer.
iTunes says to restore it, but I don't want to do that because I would lose all of the purchases I've made since Christmas. They weren't synced, so they would be wiped if I restored it, and only what is on my laptop would be re-synced.
Bottom line: is there a way to get my iPod to work again, without restoring it to factory settings? If not, then I spent all of that money in iTunes, and now what? I'm supposed to buy it again?
Thanks for taking the time to read this; I know it's long. I just wanted to make sure all of the details were there, because I've scoured the internet, and no one has a solution for this, other than wiping the slate clean, downloading a program from who-knows-where, with who-knows-what viruses attached to it, or jailbreaking. And those are not options.

Yu can try to use this program to get the iPOd out of recovery mode.

That is typically indicates a hardware failure.
