HT201263 iphone is stuck in recovery mode and wont restore with the latest itunes

My iphone 3 is stuck in recovery mode. It wont restore with the latest itunes what can i do aside from thowing it. please help.

I have the same problem today. I accidentally let it slip off my lap right in the middle of the restore. I didn't capture the error code when failed but now I just have a black screen with the itunes logo. It isn't displayed in Windows explorer or itunes, however I do hear my computer acknowledge something has been plugged in when I disconnect the cable and reconnect. What should I do?

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

Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, 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. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Try to put your iPhone 4 in DFU mode and then restore it.
You can try these steps below:
1. Try another USB cord.
2. Restart your computer for a try.
3. Hold the power button, it might restart your iPhone.
4. Update your iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPhone.
If iTunes can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help > run diagnostics.
On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPhone and then restore it.

Iphone4s was charging and now stuck in recovery mode and wont restore

can anyone help (with ways to fix this issue other than the 1's ive already tred) I was charging my phone and when i went to get off off charge it was dead and only displayed the itunes connect image. I have tried to restore it and when i connect it to itunes it displays this message 'itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore ths iphone before it can be used with itunes' so i tried to restore it may times now but get so far and then have an error message. Ive had error 1611, error 21 error 1611 again and error 21 a further 4 times. I have also been to the apple store and made an appointment with the so called geniuis people however after 4 and a half hours waiting to be seen did they take my phone out the back then over 15 mins later the chap dealing with me came back saying ' WHEN DID YOU HAVE A NEW SCREEN FITTED' I replied 2/3 months ago as i dropped it on my table and the screen cracked so i took it to a phone repair shop and paid £105 to have it replaced and my phone was working fine after I wasnt aware that the warranty covered you for a cracked screen that you was caused because you dropped it accedentaly etc.... well any way tghe chap then said ' I can t help you any further as you need to go back to the shop who changed the screen and get them to resolve this isssue. I asked how on earth can a new sceen fitted cause my phone to go in to recovry mode (2/3 months after the screen was replaced mind) the reply i got was ' Its not my issue its out of my hands........' I was more than tamping, raging fuming leaving there as no advice was given to rectifiy the issue i have with my phone. The following morning i went straight to the shop that replaired/replaced my cracked screen and told them what apple had said to me and that i was to come back to yourselves as you need to rectify the issue? to say the repair guy was baffled is an understatement but in fairness at least he tried to help me and attempted to restore it on itunes 6 times in total and changed the battery to a brnd new 1 plus checked the charging port to make sure this was not faulty. after all his help he was still baffled as to why apple felt its his fault after replacing a cracked screen as the error codes being displayed clearly were a software issue not an issue caused by replacing the crakced sceen'
I was more than happy to pay apple and charges to fix my phone based on the fact my warranty was now null and void (which is pathetic as the replacement screen was an apple origianl replacement screen it was just fitted by someone else whom is qualifed to do so) but wasnt even given the option to pay for any repairs etc.....they simply blamed someone else and offer me no further help.
so a week later after this first hapen to my phone whilst on charge and i still in the same boat and have run out of things to try (which was all found by using google as apple support secton is a load of fresh air and doenst actually give you the info and help your need.
Im grateful of any help that can be offered.

Sorted it now, took it to Apple store and explained etc. was nothing could do but restore the phone. Was told to make sure itunes on PC was up-to-date version before updating iphone which could have caused the error.

HT201263 My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and wont update.

Yesterday my iphone went into recovery mode while it was updating. Now I can't get it out of recovery mode as it won't restore or back up.
I keep getting errors. I've had error 9006 & 3259.

Hey Lianne,
If you are having an issue with getting errors such as 9006 in recovery mode for your iPhone, you may have security software that is preventing it from communicating with your computer. See this article for resolution -
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Specifically -
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

IPhone 5s stuck in Recovery mode and it cannot be recognized by iTunes

Hello Apple Community!
I have iPhone 5s 7.1.2 (16gb), I tried to restore the iphone by holding the shutdown button with the home button, now it shows that I have to connect to iTunes, when I try to plug the usb into my device, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone so I can restore it, any solutions please?
Tried everything, even using another device and another USB wires but nothing seems to work.
any feedback will be appreciated!
Note: My phone light up whenever I plug the USB to my laptop.
Thanks in advance.

Fui estafado por Apple. Vivo en Argentina. A fines del mes de junio compre en Miami un iphone 5S. Hace unos dias al bajar al actualizacion IOS 8 , el telefono comenzo a funcionar muy mal. Al intentar bajar la actualizacion 8.0.2 para restaurar el telefono por eI I tunes, el telefono dejo de funcionar definitivamente. Aqui comenzo la cuestion. Comunicaciones interminables con soporte tecnico en Mexico y USA. El telefono no funciono mas. Genere multiples reclamos y todavia sigo esperando una respuesta. La atencion es muy mala. Nadie se hace responsable. Es de un telefonoa otro , musica, a otro, mas musica y nunca una respuesta util e inteligente.
Llame hoy otra vez y me daran un TURNO para atnederme para el reemplazo del equipo.
Es una verguenza la atencion al cliente y el servicio tecnico de un producto defectuoso como el IOS 8 el que curiosamente en menos de una semana ya sufrio dos actualizaciones o parches por lo monumentales errores que tenia.
Aviso esto para las personas para que esten atentas y reclamen sus derechos como consumidores frente a esta empresa que no tiene la minima calidad de atencion para con sus clientes/usuarios.

Iphone is stuck in recovery mode and cannot restore after trying to update to iOS6 - not jailbroken

I have an iphone4s, and the question basically says it all - after trying to update to ios6, the udgrade downloaded to my computer and started loading onto my phone. However it sudeenly just stopped an turned into the balck screen asking to plug into itunes. When I do this, it says I have to restore the phone, but when I try to restore, it says there is an error (3014).
I have tried:
- pressing the home and top buttons unti the apple appears
- Checked all security software and the ports aren't blocked
- Have tried pressing option+restore to choose ios6 and ios5.1.1 - neither has worked
- Its been like this for about a day and a half now, and I have probably tried to restore it at least 50 times to no avail, always with the same error code.
What can I do??
Is this something to do with how busy the appl servers are? And when should I expect to be able to use my phone again?

Yeah same exact problem as me. EXACTLY. In a way I'm glad more than just me are having the problem so I know it's probably not on my end and on the apple side....I HOPE that is what it is.
MAN, a whole day and a half???? Crap I need my phone to work....
I really think it's the apple servers because it errors 3014 right when iTunes says "verifying phone....." something.... It goes away so fast I can't read the rest, but I think that is the step where it verifies phone to the apple servers, which are overloaded, I assume.
It's gotta be that. How many other people are having this same exact issue?

HT201413 my iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode and wont restore keeps coming up unknown error 1015

any help would be great

1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
network database was corrupted during the process.
