  • Iphone went into recovery mode after trying to update to 5.1

    I went to upgrade to 5.1 and my iphone went into recovery mode and will not work unless i restore it, if i do this will i lose everything!?

    dfu mode
    How to enter iPhone DFU mode
    Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
    Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
    Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
    Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
    When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
    Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
    Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
    Exit DFU mode on iPhone
    The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
    And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch.

  • HELP!!  iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

    Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
    I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
    Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

  • Ipad stuck in recovery mode after trying to update in ios6

    my ipad is stucked in recovery mode since trying to update in ios 6  any help?

    Hi there rmarr1,
    The only way to get out of recovery mode is by restoring the device via iTunes. If you initiated the update on iTunes on your computer, there may be a back up of the device that created before the update. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

    After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

    hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
    first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
    second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
    Either of it can try!

  • My iPhone is in recovery mode after attempting to update the software

    How do i get my iphone to stop recovery mode, it is connected to itunes and everything. When i take my phone off itunes it restarts and tells me to connect to itunes, then tells me the phone is in 'recovery mode'. Please help me someone.

    same exact problem here, phone won't go out of recovery mode. went to apple store, said to restore it but will lose all of my data. don't have it backed up. read that the restore resets the phone and deletes data however it does not actually 'erase' the data. if i can get the phone restored, how do i get the data too?

  • How do i get my iphone 4s out of recovery mode after trying to update to ios 8.1

    Okay, so, my iPhone 4s has been crashing a lot lately and I find myself having to reset it several times a day just to get it to stop. IMessages wont send properly and neither will text messages. Today I decided that maybe it keeps crashing because it is not up to date with the latest software. I plugged my phone into my laptop, backed it up and tried to update it... it crashed...  About 90% of the way through the update, my laptop told me there had been an "Unknown Error (6)" ... after 2 hours of continuously trying to update it, and failing miserably, I downloaded ReiBoot... nothing happened... after a further half an hour my phone has now decided to stop showing the "connect to iTunes" thing on the screen. instead, every time I press the lock button or the home button, it comes up with the apple logo as if my phone is turning on, then nothing happens..
    After hours of trying everything I could think of I have given up..
    CAN ANYONE AT ALL HELP ME?!?! :/ xx

    See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    That error usually means that your computer antivirus is blocking the update.
    It can also mean that your phone was jailbroken, or your computer was used to jailbreak some iOS device in the past.

  • IPod Touch 2nd gen in recovery mode after trying to update to OS 4.0

    I was trying to update and the usual auto backup came on when you update not the sync iPod one and it was backing up then had an error and sent the iPod into recovery mode I can't get it back out. Tried all the button tricks. What to do?

    I know it is just not right. I keep seeing sites that suggest quickpwn, redsn0w, blackra1n but when I try to use files they are always missing something. My iPod is not "JAILBROKEN" or anything but I have seen video of these techniques being used and they work but for me the programs won't run or I can't find a good source file. I don't want to restore and frankly I feel we should not have to. This is an Apple problem that seems to be constant I have had numerous failures lately and I am not real happy about it. I will try to call them 2mrrw but I doubt they will tell me anything new other than you don't have an apple care plan and there is nothing you can do but restore it. I have found this file that is suppose to fix the problem when you shift click restore and then select it but I don't know how to use it... any ideas would be helpful... ipod2,14.0_8A293Restore I want to know if it will delete all my files on ipod or just fix the OS issue? or if anything else can be done.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.1.2

    I have an iPhone 4s and today I received a notification to update to iOS 7.1.2 so I started to install it, it failed the first time I tried cause I didn't have enough space in my phone, i deleted a few apps and then tried again. While it was installing, the apple logo appeared, I thought the update would be successful, but then the iTunes logo with the charging cable below appeared, meaning that my phone was (is) in recovery mode.
    I tried pressing home and unlock/lock button at the same time until the Apple logo appears again but it didn't work since it sent me back to the recovery mode screen.
    I tried using Tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode but it didn't work.
    I tried restoring my phone in iTunes but I got unknown error 3194 and it didn't work.
    I'm desperate to solve this, I've been looking for answers for 4 straight hours.
    I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could help me ASAP.
