  • Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update

    So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
    Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!

    Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it.  And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either.  Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

  • My iPhone 4 will not come out of recovery mode.

    After attempting to update to iOS 7.1.1 (I think, may have been the next update) my phone will not come out of recovery mode when I tried to install the update. It is now stuck, and nothing I can think of will work. Tried redsnow, tried on another computer... Nothing works. Any advice?

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • My iphone won't come out of recovery mode or restore

    My phone started updating and i turned it off because i didn't want it to update.  Then when i turned it back on i never had any service and it told me that i couldn't use my phone until i updated it so i plugged it into my computer to update it.  Then it said that i had to restore my phone in order to be able to update it. Ever since I put it in recovery mode, it hasnt come out of it and i can't use my phone at all.  Its been six hours since i started.

    Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
    If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
    Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
    Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds.  Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button.  Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds.  Release the home button and you should be able to restore.

  • IPhone 3 will not come out of recovery mode

    I currently have a iPhone 3 that I would like to give my 10 year old son. I have an error coming up in recovery mode stating that iTunes has detected my iPhone is in recovery mode and that i must restore the iPhone it can be used with iTunes.
    When I connect the cable to my iMac, it brings up an unknown error "1015".
    The S/N# 8694510JY7H
    Please Help

    See this support document for error explanations.  Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Generally, the 1015 error has to do with jailbroken devices, or computes that have been used to jailbreak phones.

  • Iphone won't come out of recovery mode? (after 6 hours of wating)

    Okay, a few days ago my Iphone froze. Then It turned off and turned back on, and it has had that screen that has the Itunes Symbol and a USB cable (the screen notifying the user that the Iphone has to be connected to itunes). So I connected my Iphone to my computer, and it told me I had to recover or restore my Iphone (which I am 100% okay with, there was nothing too important on it.).....So I clicked "restore"...it began the recovery process, like "extracting software" and stuff, and then it says "wating for Iphone"....and it said "wating for iphone" for 6 hours and didn't stop until I disconnected it.
    I didn't get any error message or anything while it was connected. Can someone please tell me how to get it out of this or how to get it to actually recover?
    If It can't be fixed, do I have to buy a new Iphone? (I've had this one for about 3 months)

    Worry not,
    You would not have to buy a new iPhone as it is covered under warranty for 1 year and you have had yours for 3 months. I would call 1-800-myiPhone and discuss sending it in for repairs unless you live near a Apple store then make an appointment and head on in
    Hope this helps

  • TS3694 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!

    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.

  • HT1414 my iphone 4 running on IOS 5 will not come out of recovery mode and gives the error code -1. Can any one help me please because i've been without a phone for 2 weeks and still not getting anywhere.

    Hi there could someone out there please help i've got a Iphone 4 running on IOS 5 and it will not come out of recovery mode> It comes up with the error code -1 which i've looked everywhere on the web but no one seams to have the same issue.
    This is a reconditioned replacement phone from the apple genius guys which i paid £130 for and only got 3 months warranty with and as soon as the warranty run out it crashed on me and never been able to get it back out of recovery mode. I've been back to the apple genius guys and they have told me there's nothing they can do other than charge me £130 to take the phone off me and give me another reconditioned phone with a 3 month warranty. Which as you can properly tell i dont want to.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME thanks for your time

    This is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.

  • My iphone 4s will not come out of unlock mode ?

    my iphone 4s will not come out of unlock mode i reset the phone back to factory setting still not working

    When you updated did you have to create a different code for the install? I just got another tip from a different user and found out (and didn't think about it at the time) the install code has to be used to open the phone...NOT the previous version code! Got mine open. Good luck.

  • IPhone 5c won't restore, stuck between recovery mode & apple logo loop

    Hello all,
    I got a lovely little iphone 5c secondhand. The only problem is that it will not cooperate with me.
    At first, it was stuck in recovery mode, but I can switch it out of that, and into the apple logo loop or dfu.
    No matter what I do though, (recovery mode, dfu, loop), it will NOT restore.
    It gives me an error code of 3014 every time.
    Once in awhile it also loads a screen of script, that ends in "panic, we're hanging here" or some such.
    I HAVE seen it load to the lock screen twice now, but only for a split second. And while it did that, iTunes told me it couldn't connect to "Jessica's iPhone" due to the passcode. So I know something in there still works. Just not sure about what ISN'T working.
    I'm REALLY hoping someone on here can help!
    And sorry if I don't have all the info you need/posted in the wrong area. First time here.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Install the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Restart your computer.
    3. Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.

  • IPhone will not come out of Recovery Mode. At. All.

    Hi, my 1 year old iPhone has gone into Recovery Mode after a failed restore and im at my wits end. I get error message, after error message. I have windows xp so its a lot harder to use all the downloads that are available. I havent jailbroken my iPhone. Ive tried, iRecovery, TinyUmbrella, and changing the Firmware. Still that annoying cable, arrow and iTunes symbol. I cherish my phone and if anyone can give me any tips to get it out of this endless loop id be much appreciated. If I try to restore it, it gets to the very last bit and then, bam, 'iTunes cannot restore this iPhone due to blah blah blah.' I know the only solution for this is probably giving up or taking it to the apple store, which will cost me just as much as the phone did. Im lost. Help. Please. :'/
