HT201412 iPhone 4 in recovery mode
My iphone 4 is in recovery mode and i don't know how to get it back working, every time I connect it to itunes a message comes up telling me that my computer has detected a iPhone in recovery mode, my only choice then is to let it update it and then to restore it but when i go to restore it, it comes up extracting iphone then an error comes up saying itunes cannot restore your iphone unknown error (21). I dont know what to do as I have tried everything like pressing the home and power button and all that. My iphone wont turn on unless charging and when it is charging all that comes up is a picture of a usb and itunes and i cannot do anything else with it, anybody any suggestions??
The only recommendation that we could make is to follow this support document about restoring, however if it will not restore after multiple attempts and does not return an error code, then I suggest making an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the device examined. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

(iphone 4 and iphone 4s)So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

i started to update my iphone 4, and in the middle of the update, an icon popped up saying that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be sued with iTunes."
I really cannot lose the data on my phone. i foolishly did not back up everything ecause there was a previous problem i had with icloud and i needed to delete all of my icloud accounts accept for my contacts.
WHat would i lose if i restored it? and do i need to restore it?
is there another way? if there is, i definetely do not need the update. someone please help me.First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

when i upgraded my iphone to the new update My iphone 5 screen went completely black and has been like it for 2 days. I have tried holding home and lock,I have tried holding lock and the volume, and I have tried holding just the volume, it still just stays black.
When i plugged it into my Mac the apple logo comes up on the iphone screen. and then on the computer it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes. (as in the below pictures)
when i click ok to restore it just says waiting for iphone (as in the other photo below). i left it in for 20minutes and still said the same thing.
after that i tried unplugging the iphone and it just went back to being a black screen again if anyone has any idea please please help me, thank you.I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:

4.2.1 update downloaded to my imac,but has put my iphone in recovery mode!!
Hi,as the title suggests yesterday I downloaded update 4.2 to my imac and when it finished downloading I got the message,"itunes detects an iphone in recovery mode.You must restore the iphone to be compatible with itunes." So I clicked on the restore icon and after a couple of minutes I get the same message about being in recovery mode.
I've been on the support site but nothing,checked out a couple other sites aswell,downloaded Recboot,iRecovery,tried on another computer to restore,but nothing is happening.
Love my apple products,but so p#####d off that when something goes wrong it's a nightmare.
Please can anyone give any advice that I haven't already tried.
CheersWhat happens when you try to restore, does it give you an error?
I had a similar problem. Went to update from 4.1 to 4.2(.1) and every time it failed and left my iPhone stuck in recovery mode. Usually it failed with the error 1013 or 1004 - which according to Apple are hardware issues. THEY ARE NOT.
There is a simple fix for this: If you are on a windows PC:
goto:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\ect\
and if there is a file called: hosts.umbrella (or something very similar) then delete it.
There should also be a file called: hosts (or something very similar) - Open that with your favorite text editor and remove any line which has: apple.com
Then save the file, restart your PC and begin the update again, all should work fine. -
