Why did my iPhone go in to recovery mode because it failed to update?

Probably because the update did not complete and/or the files got/were corrupted.

  • IPhone 5S trapped in recovery mode after mistake made in update process.

    My iPhone 5S is trapped in recovery mode after I option-clicked "update" and selected the iOS 7.1 beta build 11D5099e ipsw, when I needed to option click "restore" before doing so. I'm really getting desperate because I have no backups of my iPhone anywhere (not icloud or computer), and cannot boot out of reecovery mode. I can put the device into DFU mode, but it makes no difference. Attempting to update the iphone to ios 7.1 from recovery mode produces error #17. Attempting to update the iphone to 7.1 from DFU mode produces error #11. Both errors are not mentioned in apple's updating and restoring support page. Before I try just clicking "restore", is there anything else that I can do? Restoring the phone is NOT an option, as I have a ton of data on it.
    Please don't just say "no", because that's not very helpful. If there's truly nothing I can do, and I mean NOTHING, because I am fairly tech savy and can perform pracically any solution you give me, then I will accept that and just restore the phone.
    But if there is ANYTHING I can do, tell me...
    Please...
    TL; DR: My iPhone 5S is trapped in recovery mode and I refuse to restore it unless it is my only option. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

    Actually, I just fixed it with tinyumbrella. I thought I had already tried it when I posted this, but I guess not.

  • Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

    I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

    Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

  • My iPhone 5 went to recovery mode when trying to install update 6.1.4

    A couple of hours ago, I got a prompt on my iPhone 5 to install update 6.1.4 over wifi (for the speakers). I turned on wifi in phone settings and clicked install and saw a tiny message saying 'Verifying, ..'
    The next thing I saw was a symbol for connecting iphone usb to iTunes. When I did, Itunes said that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. Trusting that Apple would know what it is doing, I clicked okay, but stopped short of actually resoring when itunes warned me that my data would be lost and phone will be restored to factory settings. Data is everything!!!
    I have important family pictures that haven't been backed up and I don't want to lose them. What do I do? It would have been so much better had Apple update warned me to backup before starting update. iPhone does not even turn on now. Help please!!! Very disappointed in Apple. Their own updates should not crash their own devices, and without any warning of data loss whatsoever.
    Apple has become a big bully!!!
    Please Help..

    firstly dont panic my friend..  if your phone is not turning ON, try a hard reset
    Press and Hold down the Lock button [wch is on top] and the Home button...hold both of em together for 10 secs or till the time you see tghe apple logo
    once you see the apple logo release the keys the phone will come back to life
    if you find the the handset is in recovery mode you have no other option but to restore the device. Sorry but tht is the only thing you can do.  good luck

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after IOS 6.0 update

    My iphone 4S is stuck in recovery mode. I connected to iTunes earlier today to update the IOS to 6.0 and that's when it got stuck.  From reading phones stuck in recovery mode, it seems like it is happening with this software update.  Why didn't they tell us there would be an issue and pull the update.
    I have an appt at the Genius desk later today.  My question is this; I have phone messages on my phone,   I listed to messages that ATT saves on their server and the older ones on my phone are not in their current 20 list.  When my phone is restores, will all of the phone messages still be on my  phone?  How about all of the photos I took this week?  Last time I synched was more than a week ago.
    The phone messages are very important to me. I can't loose them. My son died this summer and 2 of the messages are from him.

    If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on the phone are gone.  If your messages were not previously backed up, then they are forever gone.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

    As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode.  Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times.  Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo.  I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either.  Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

    Update:  I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account.  None of these did anything for me.  I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.

  • My iPhone 5 went into recovery mode after I tried to update it to iOS 8. Any suggestions?

    I have tried those apps that allow you to exit out of recovery mode. But none of them worked for me. I don't want to restore my iPhone because I haven't backed it up for a while now...

  • IPhone is stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update it. What can I do?

    I tried to update to iOS 4.3, It seemed to be working fine until it displayed this error notification - http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblrlhuulwwGjV1qbpguwo1500.png My phone is now stuck in recovery mode and I cannot restore it, I can only "restore and update" and its the update which isn't working.
    Someone told me to download 4.2 online and restore it, I have downloaded it but I don't know how I can install it back on my phone
    Please can anyone help? this is urgent!

    This reply isn't to shorty2006, that post was awhile ago. This is for everyone that updates itunes and gets an error that their phone is now in Recovery mode. 
    I've been researching all night and even thought about downloading several different things that were suppose to get my phone out of "Recovery" mode.  Then I thought about taking my phone to the Apple store after work tomorrow.  I then found this blog and read coltonkj's entry and tada!  I took a big breath and hit "restore".  It worked, it put me back to the page where you can select to restore the last back-up.  Shooooo!!!!
    Thank you coltonkj !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Iphone 3g stuck in recovery mode(error 14) after failed 3.2.1 update

    My Iphone is stuck in recovery mode after it failed to update to operating system 3.2.1 . When I press restore in itunes, the process stops at around the 20% mark and come up with error 14. I have already manually deleted and redownloaded the update 4 times, reinstalled itunes twice and created a new user on my pc and downloaded and update through this new user and disabled all security but I still keep getting the same error message. My pc is only six months old. I successfully updated the phone to operating system 3.1 a few months ago with no problems. Has anyone found a way to fix this?? This is ridiculous!!

    This is the only way to make sure you've uninstalled itunes completely:
    1. Restart your computer.
    2. After the computer restarts, open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your programs are installed on.
    3. Open the Program Files folder.
    4. Right-click the iTunes folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if iTunes was successfully removed.
    5. Right-click the iPod folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    6. Right-click the QuickTime folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    7. Right-click the Bonjour folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    8. Open the Common Files folder.
    9. Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    10. Open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your operating system is installed on.
    11. Open the Windows folder.
    12. Open the System32 folder.
    13. Right-click the QuickTime file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    14. Right-click the QuickTimeVR file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    15. Right-click the Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recycle Bin.

  • Why did my iPhone 5 get hot and shut down?

    Why did my iPhone 5 get hot and shut down?

    I would contact applecare about this issue. a hot phone is not normal , a warm phone is.
    but if you contact applecare that way you have a record of the issue incase it gets worse in the future.

  • Why did my iphone add a  1 to all my contacts?

    Why did my iphone add a +1 to all my contacts after shutting it off? Now my contacts have disappeared because it does not recognize any of the numbers due to the +1.

    Did you change your region settings?
    If so, change it back to the country you're in.
    The reverse has happened to me from Austria to America, now my phone has old messages from austrian numbers but it doesn't show their names anymore because the implied +43 country code is gone.
