my 2nd gen ipod is stuck in recovery mode, and when i went to restore it ive tried everything.
Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.

Please help, iPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and will not update.
I tried to update my girlfriend's iPhone 5 (AT&T) from 6.1.2 to 7.0.4 last night and something went wrong so of course I had backed it up so I put the phone into recovery mode and attempted to completely restore it and then restore from back-up (or at least that was my plan) but the problem is that once I got it in recovery mode and started the update it froze mid-update (Not a computer problem, I have a rMBP 2013, 2.3 ghz i7 & 16GB ram) so after about 30 minutes of watching it at the same spot I unplugged it and attempted to start over. Now everytime I attempt to update it it tries to re-download the software and once it gets completely downloaded it says it was corrupted during the download. I have also attempted to download the IPSW manunally and update that way and it now gets partially through the update and throws an error message. I have tried to use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode and it does not work either. I am out of options, I have no idea what else to do. I aplogize for my ****** grammar and sentence structure I am flustered and haven't taken the time to proofread it.
FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best. -

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My 4s is stuck in recovery mode, and when I try to restore it I get a message that the device is not connected
Hi, are you doing it through Settings or via iTunes? If doing it through Settings, try plugging it in via USB and updating with iTunes. Hope this helps.

My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!
AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right? -

My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages. Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

When I turned on my ipad the itunes logo is on it. I cant get to my home screen. I plugged it to my computer and went to the itunes and it states that the ipad is in recovery mode and that I have to do a restore. I have some important photos on it that I dont want to lose. Is there a way I can restore it without losing the photos. I tried the suggestions on this site but it dont work. My last resort is to restore it if I have to. Also, when Im on the itunes site it does say that i can update on March 15th Can anyone help? Thanks
Then you can select that backup to restore from if you want. If it is an old backup - then you will be restoring the iPad to the condition that it was on that date. You mentioned March 15 in your first post. If your only backup is from last year, then you will lose all of the photos that you have taken since then.
When you post back, include details ...not just a one sentence statement. Its difficult to ascertain exactly what you are experiencing without specific details. -
I don't think I back uped anything. I assume it was already going to do that like most times..
I downloaded and updated the phone with the iOS6, but then an error occurred saying that the phone can't be updated. It then turned into recovery mode and suggests that the only way to use the phone is if I restore it.. which I really can't do! I still have lots of photos..
Please, I regret not having backing up just in case, but is there any way to somehow 'undo' the recovery mode and bring it back to normal (regardless of which iOS it has)? Please, I really would appreciate a solution, any solution.
Thank you.What's wrong with you guys.. you must ALWAYS back it up before anything major like this.
If it's not too late, and i do not know if this will work or not.. but download something like TinyUmbrella or any program that will allow you to kick it out of Recovery Mode and back to regular. May or may not work but worth a shot. -
I upgraded my iphone4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and now I'm stuck in recovery mode and when I try and restore my phone it gives me error code (1) At this point,
I want a working phone. Any ideas?download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.
