Maybe you should consider that new phone recommendation you got...
Who told you that?
Is the phone jailbroken? Was it hacked to unlock it? Has it been physically damaged? Did you get it wet?
You haven't provided anywhere near enough information.

HT201263 iPhone 5 keep goes to Recovery Mode !!!!

Hi , My iPhone 5 went into recovery time after time, I recovered it many times but it takes a two days or a day and sometimes even twice a day. it is really annoying and wasting time , effort and valuable multimedia. please help

You have to restore now. It happened to me too but then it updated.
Disconnect your iPhone. Hold down the Home and Power buttons until it shuts off.
Press and hold down the Home button and connect it to your computer.
Hold it down until iTunes says your device is entering recovery mode.
Then, you can Restore.

Ipod Touch Keeps Going Into Recovery Mode

Hi, I've had an Ipod touch for about 6 months now and haven't really had any problems with it to date. Recently (around the time I installed the 1.1.3 firmware), it seems to be randomly going into recovery mode.
When I plug it into my imac, Itunes says it detected an ipod in recovery mode, and I have to restore it. During the restore process the screen lights up with apple logo and spinning wheel, it says successful restore. But the ipod doesn't restart... just goes straight back into recovery mode. It usually takes about 2 or 3 restore attempts before it works properly. I resync and everything goes back to normal for a few uses. Then I go to turn it on and nothing... itunes just tells me to restore again.
Anyone else seen this issue before? I'm pretty sure the batteries aren't flat (since when it finally does restore, they usually start around half full... and I've tried leaving it on the charger for a few hours to no avail). And I only turn wifi on when I need it (usually turned off). I've tried pretty much everything I can find in the help files (hold button, hold+power, hold while connecting to itunes, nothing seems to wake it up... just black screen until a successful restore happens)...
Thanks in advance...

I had the same problem with my Touch but it started the first day. It was also doing weird things like telling me the battery was full then half an hour later warn me there was only 10% left. It got better for a while but long syncs with iTunes usually threw it into restore mode again.
I finally brought it to the Apple store nearby and they were able to recreate the problem when they tried a sync on their machine. They told me it was a hardware issue and did an exchange right there. I have heard bringing it to an Apple Store will increase your chances of an exchange. Sending it in may or may not get you a new one. Good luck.

IPhone 4 keeps going into recovery mode

Every other day I pick my phone up off a table and see it not responding...the first time I connected it to my computer and it told me the phone was in recovery mode; then began to download software....eventually errored out. But then I found out I could hold sleep/wake and home keys to get it to restart. I missed a few calls from the last time it did this, and I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm definitely taking it to the apple store, but wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

I got home a few hours ago (7:00 PM EST time) and I noticed there was a new iOS 4.0.1 software update, so I decided to it update. The file downloaded just fine but when it tried to update my iPhone it failed (am guessing) now my iphone is in a constant "Restore Loop" and is unusable! It's a BRICK now instead of a phone.
I have tried restoring my iphone from my second computer ( MacPro Laptop ) to no avail, How do I get my phone working again?

I want to restore my iphone 4 but keeps going in recovery mode

.

Hello butch58,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your iPhone is in recovery mode, but is not being recognized by iTunes on your computer. In order to troubleshoot this issue please follow the directions in the article below. After that, your iPhone should appear in iTunes and you can then restore it.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Take care,
Alex H.

IPhone keeps going into recovery mode while playing mp3's through Ford SYNC

Hi There,
I have a 2008 Ford Focus with the SYNC iPod connectivity. I have the latest SYNC software update installed in my car.
Twice now while playing songs via the USB connection with SYNC, my phone has suddenly dropped into recovery mode when it finishes playing a playlist.
Can anyone offer a solution ? It is really annoying having to restore my phone all the time

Ooops sorry about that. It must've been 8.1.2 then? I honestly don't remember.. I wasn't paying attention when I updated since I regularly do it for my iPad, other phones. Anyway, whatever is the latest version of the iOS, it got me stuck in recovery mode.
really sorry about the 8.2 Info

HT1414 iphone 4 goes into recovery mode error 40

iphone 4 keeps going into recovery mode, when try to restore the iphone it comes up with error code (40), how can this be fixed?

Hi November-Rain,
I found the following information about error code 40:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else.

Iphone 3g randomly goes into recovery mode all the time?

I have an Iphone 3g version 4.3.5 (8L1). It works fine and i've never dropped it or anything like that. But the first time the problem happened i had just got done sending a text, pushed the lock button, and put it in my pocket. Then a few minutes later i pulled it out to check it and it wouldnt turn on. I held the lock button down and the connect to itunes icon came up, but nothing else. No emergency call option or anything. it wouldnt go away. i connected to itunes and it said it was in recovery mode. I tried to restore it but it came up with an error. i left it and tried again later. i restored but some things were erased. then it worked fine again. but later that night it did it again. so i just plugged it into the charger. in the morning i tried turning it back on again and it turned on without the connect to itunes icon. worked fine all day. but it does this every now and then. when i plug it in it goes back to normal after 10-20 mins. its annoying tho and if im not home my fone is stuck like that until i get back. why does it keep randomly going into recovery mode?

1. The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5. Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
2. "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error." What EXACT error?
3. "i restored but some things were erased" What "things"? Did you get an error again. Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
4. Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

IPod touch 1st gen goes into recovery mode after shut down or lock

Alright, so I bought a used iPod touch 1st gen from a friend. It was working fine for a few weeks until it started shutting off and going into recovery mode when I locked or turned it off. When off, half of the times I can do a hard reatart and hold the home and hold buttonsand it will turn on. The other times it will just come up with a white screen. When I plug it into my computer, it says it has to be restored. And this is an ongoing loop that I cannot seem to fix. I looked up my serial number and it says it's out of warranty.
So my first question is, is there anyway I personally can fix this problem, or do I have to take it to Apple? My second question is, what are their policies on iPods that were bought used from someone else? And is there a way for me to get a warranty on it to get it repaired if I can't fix it myself or do I have to pay full price on replacement or repairs?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Did you let iTunes restore it? Has the problem continued? The article below discusses how to put your iPod into a recovery mode so you can fix it.

As to your warranty, you no longer have one. Apple will, for a fee, repair your iPod if it needs repairing. There are independent shops who can do it as well - just Google them.

When trying to restore my Iphone it goes into recovery mode

I recent just upgraded my IPhone 4s to 5s. When I synced it to my computer it transfered eveything from my old phone to the new one which I didn't want. So when I tried to restore it to factory settings it went to recovery mode. I can get it out of recovery mode but it just goes back to way it was. How can I restore it with out going into recovery mode.

we have same problem bro .. i dont know what to do.

IPhone 3G goes into Recovery Mode after every restore

Every time I restore my iPhone 3G, it goes into recovery mode right after an error-less restore has been completed. Yes, I've tried using tools such as TinyUmbrella and RecBoot and iRecovery. The device was not jailbroken when I tried to update it to 4.2.1 yesterday. They all reboot the phone and just throw it back into recovery. I have no idea what to do. Searching is futile. I thought I might as well do what I almost never do and ask these communities for support.
I hope they don't disappoint.

I had this problem with my wife's iPad when I updated to 7.0.3 via OTA. It was easily fixed for me, and I assume it should work for everyone else.
It appears that sometimes during installation of the OTA update to 7.0.3, it gets stuck in recovery half way through.
You can connect it to iTunes and restore it, which will wipe it, OR you can download TinyUmbrella and kick it out of recovery. Once you do that, the installer should complete normally (it did for me).
1) Download and install TinyUmbrella for your PC/Mac.
2) Make sure iTunes isn't running and connect your device via USB.
3) Open up TinyUmbrella. Your device should show up on the left. Click on it and then choose "exit recovery".
4) Profit.

Curve 8900 Keeps going in Standby Mode

Hi,
My Curve 8900 keeps going into Standby mode by itself even when nothing has been touched. Gives message "Entering Standby mode. Press the Mute key again to exit Standby mode." Looks like others have posted similar problems. The device is quite new but without warranty.
Thanks.
Anil

Mine keeps going into standby too. What a piece of **bleep** all blackberrys are. If it weren't for the messenger I would have switched to a nokia a long time ago. I doubt this thread will raise a response from RIM.

IPad goes into recovery mode every time I power up

Is this normal? What could be wrong?

It is by no means normal. When you say that it goes into recovery mode, do you mean that you have to restore the iPad every time that you turn it on?

HT201263 what if it keeps going to recovery mode what do you do?
