HT201210 iPhone Recovery

Will restoring my iPhone delete photos on the phone?
In recovery mode and won't do anything.

Restoring iphone will delete everything form the iphone.  Anything that is not on your computer will be gone for good.
Why is everything not on your computer?
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
If it is in recovery mode, the pics are gone from the iphone anyway.

I have apps and media that I did not transfer but I don't seem to be able to get back and do this. Can anyone help?

    Your data in your iPhone is losing in recovery mode, and it is hard to restore.
    It is difficult to say it can recover all your data, but you can only have a try. That is a third iPhone data recovery software.

    my iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

  • HT1414 Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    A quick Google search for Error 2001 would indicate that this occurs when you have a jailbroken phone or were trying to downgrade iOS. Is that true for you?

    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • Iphone died. "please connect to itunes" message. iphone recovery no go.

    After 3 days of working fine, my iphone died. it only shows "Please connect to itunes". iTunes does not recognize phone (Windows asks for "iphone (recovery mode)" device driver). I tried holding all button combinations down for many seconds (reset) to no avail.
    I'm stuck. And I'm out of town for a week without a cell phone (in NYC). I hope to get a replacement fast. Is this common? I barely used the phone.

    I had that problem, upgrading to the latest iTunes (7.3.1) and QuickTime fixed it.

  • My phone keeps on turning itself on therefore interrupts the ongoing "iPhone Recovery Mode" in iTunes. This then makes me go back to square one: restore and wait 4 hours over and over again. What do I do to make it not get up again?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

  • HT201210 iPhone 4 stuck in recovery mode and will not restore.

    My iPhone 4 randomly turned off a few days ago and wouldnt turn back on. I plugged it into iTunes which said it was in recovery mode but will not restore as error 1600 keeps propping up. Someone please help, I have tried lots of ways but none are working.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    Hi there...
    Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
    To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
    1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
    2-Restart your Windows.
    If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
    1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
    notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 
    2- look for gs.apple.com
    3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
    4- Save the file and try restoring again.
    Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
             put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
    I hope this helps. It did for me

I have tried everything, i have updated windows, updated itunes, removed all third party usb's from computer, plugged iphone usb round the back not the front, checked security settings and restarted my home computer, but when i try to restore through itunes i always get the same "itunes could not restore iphone from an unknown error (1)" I have been to the apple shop and they told me £120 for a new phone, i said no as this isnt really my fauly a new update and its ctashed my phone. PLEASE HELP???

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS which I updated with the last firmware (iOS 5) 2 weeks ago. Everything goes ok.
    And suddenly, while the phone was recharching. It asked me to activate it but I was unable to do it as it was rebooting constantly every time I connected it to iTunes.
    I tried both 2 restore modes (Restore and DFU) but since I can't achieve a restore with the last Apple iOS 5 firmware. I got the error code 1.
    I I tried on 3 different computers but same error. I really don't know what to do next...
    I already called Apple Customer Care and I'm still waiting for an answer. I let you know.
    And you, did you manage to get your iPhone back alive ?

  • HT201210 iphone  5 in recovery mode wont restore

    I have tried to restore my iphone as it requires because my phone is apparently in "recovery mode".  Itunes tells me it can restore because of application 9.
    Should I just go to the AT&T Store?

    Did you try to restore it using the recovery mode as discussed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    You may also need to try using DFU mode, power down the iPhone, start iTunes on your computer, then while holding the power button on the iPhone connect it to the computer.  Continue to hold the power button for three seconds, and while still holding it press and hold the home button.  Hold both for another ten seconds and then  release the power button.  Continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
    If you take it anywhere it should be the Apple store, the AT&T store will not be able to do anything.

  • HT201210 iphone in recovery loop

    I have an iphone 3 gs stuck in recovery mode.  I've tried restoring it through itunes and it gets stuck when itunes says "waiting for iphone".  What can I do about this?

    Stop trying to downgrade the iOS.
    From the article which your question was posted from:
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
