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,
Brett L

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.

HT201263 my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and my computer keeps saying that it is unable to successfully restore my iphone

About two days ago my iphone had been charging all night, yet when i looked at it in the morning it said that it was only at 1% battery, so i restarted my iphone, after i turned it back on, the battery said 96% but after every 3-5 minutes it would shut down, then turn back on again, so i plugged it into my computer to sync and restore it, but it would not sync. I decided to restore it anyways, and it was put into recovery mode normally, but now it says that "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (29)." and it keeps on attempting to restore it but it is not working. ive left it plugged into my mac for about 12 hours now. I have no idea what to 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

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.

Ipod 4G stuck in recovery mode. Wont update!

I just bought a 4G ipod touch and adding songs, and left the room and my little sister hit the restore button in itunes and now its stuck in recovery mode and wont update. Itunes tells me: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
I hit recovery and it gets past the recovery part to verify ipod restore. Which looked like the last step i get an error: The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(9)
I have tried everything..
I am using windows 7 and i just updated itunes. Usb is updates as well.
I have a $300 ipod and its not working.
HELP!

I have nearly the same problem!
I had to wait over 1 month to get my ipod touch and when it was there, i couldn't syncronise it over iTunes. so i decided to restore it and it stuck in the progress...
so i released the usb-cabel and my iPod Touch 4g came in the recovery mode..
and now it always stucks, when i try to restore it. i don't even get an error from iTunes..
what can i do? i didn't do anything wrong!
I'm also a little bit disappointed of apple, because it says, that i can't return a defective device online! The next apple store is a two hour drive away and it's not sure, that they can really help me. i also don't know, if my ipod is really defective!!!

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server. I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted." I am locked out of my phone. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again. I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing. Thanks for your help in advance.

Try going to recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Nathan.
