HT4972 3gs wont boot up into 'recovery mode' can you help

Hi.
I try to put my 3gs into recovery mode but it just starts the phone as normal, as if 'recover' is not possible.

Not only will the warranty be void, you will have given up your ability to get a discounted out of warranty replacement phone.
If you still can't get it into recovery mode, try DFU mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the genius bar.

My iphone 3gs factory unlocked phone frequently goes into recovery mode. can anyone help me out from this?

my iphone 3gs is an factory unlocked phone running on ios 6.1.3 which frequently goes into recovery mode. mostly atleast once in a week...how can i fi this problem???

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

So my Iphone 3gs wont update to the 5.1, can you help?

I tried to download a new iTunes but it says that a later version is already installed and I have no other ideas or clues to why it wont let me.

Maybe you have an iPhone 3G and not a 3GS. A 3GS has a Compass App, a 3G iPhone does not. The latest software for iPhone 3G is 4.2.1
Check which iPhone you have.

If your database in Full Recovery mode, can you use Bulk Insert Task to load data

Yes you can ofourse but dont be in idea that logging will be mininal. Loggign will be as per recovery model full. Every thing will be logged. If you are going to use bulk insert task you can consider switching recovery model to Bulk logged but you will not
have option to do point in time recovery.
PS: please dont create duplicate threads
If you read first Note section in below link it clearly states that yes logging will be full and you can use

F2 button not booting PC into recovery mode and Multimedia Controller error in device manager.

Hello everyone,
I updated my lenovo ideacentre b540p from windows 7 home premium to windows 8.1 pro. I have two issues that came up after the upgrade.
1. I can no longer access the Lenovo rescue system 3.0 by pressing the F2 button during startup to boot into recovery mode which was possible when I was using windows 7 and because of this I am unable to install the software and drivers that came with the PC.
2. In device manager the multimedia controller driver is not installed. It shows a yellow sign in the other devices group. I have tried different version from the lenovo support site but none of them work. The PC was shipped without a CD containing the drivers but if I can access the rescue system, I believe I will find the driver I need for the multimedia controller.
Solved!

Hi RR7,

It's Windows 8 related, but you'll better understand what may happen when your cloned HD has not the same size as the original one.
interesting post, thanks. sadly i'm not sure this really helps. i didnt find what i expected.
the reagent.xml only has two references to offset, and they both refer to the partition that contains windows 7. i have changed this offset on the cloned disk to match the actual partition offset but it makes no difference.
i don't see any reference to the hidden lenovo partition or its offset in the windows recovery.
i also cant see any reference to it in the BCD on either the source or clonded disk.
all i see if pressing F2 on the source OEM when powering on loads a special lenovo recovery environment, and doing the same thing on the clonded disk just shows the windows 7 boot loader option for choosing to boot windows or do a memory test.
my question still remains, what is the magic thats happening when i press F2?

ZEN sleek wont go into recovery mode... help!

I am trying to fix an old (2005 I think) ZEN Sleek which has recently stopped working. Other half recently got a new computer and her new system (Windows 7) would not recognise it. I have XP & Windows media on mine, so with a bit of digging I found out how to upgrade the firmware on her ZEN. I did this this successfully last year, so her ZEN has now worked OK with windows 7 for the last 9 months - until now. Symptoms : ) Switch on - get spash screen followed by "Creative Zen" - then all keypad lights flash once and screen reads "Select music to play from music library" BUT none of the keys will respond. The only thing which responds is the OFF button. 2) Resetting using a paperclip on the little hole - gives EXACTLY the same response - only the OFF button works 3) Holding play/pause & resetting - exact same response - only OFF button works. It will not go into recovery mode. Connecting to PC. ) PC recognises it as ZEN sleek. screen shows "Docked" as normal. 2) Can access the Hard Dri've through Windows Explorer but not through Creative Media Organiser. Media organiser does not recognise that it is attached. HD works OK. Can save and retrei've files to/from HD via Windows. 3) Even tried reinstalling the new firmware again. It all upgrades successfully (it says so on my PC and on the ZEN screen) but still won't go into recovery mode. Anyone have any ideas or do i now have the world's most expensi've paperweight ?

IS THIS HOW YOU DO IT?
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

HT1267 my iphone 3gs wont come out of recovery mode and wont restore

I can't get my iphone out of recovery mode and it wont restore. What do I do?

Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds. Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button. Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds. Release the home button and you should be able to restore.

HT4061 IOS6.1 corrupted during install. Ipad now wont boot, stuck in recovery mode. Wont restore to factory settings, get error 3194. HELP !!

Hi.
I have just tried to update Ipad to IOS6.1, but it failed during install. The pad now seems to be stuck in recovery mode.
I have tried to restore to factory settings but I get a error code 3194
During attempted restore the restore screen does not show the Ipad name, serial number or software version number.
Any suggestions, I think it may need to be sent away to be repaired, and i fear this will be very expensive!!!

What do I do if my iPad2 goes into recovery mode when you were trying to install iOS8.1?

So I got back home from school and I saw that there was a new update. So I decided to install but I didn't have enough space for it. I uninstalled a few games and now I can install iOS8.1. Well it was on "verifying update" for about 5 minutes then all of a sudden it turns off. When it turned on it told me to connect itunes then I knew I was in recovery mode. Now my question is what do I do after this? Please help me out on this.

See if this similar post helps.

1. Disconnect phone from iTunes, leaving the cable plugged into the USB port ON THE COMPUTER (not an external hub or keyboard port
2. Press the home button and while pressing, plug the dock end of the cable into the phone, and continure pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode;
3. Follow the prompts to restore.
If the above sequence doesn't work, try this:
1. Start iTunes and plug in phone
2. Press BOTH home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in Recovery Mode, and follow the prompts to restore.

You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

IPod Classic will only sync with iTunes 11.0.2.26 in disk mode - can you help?

Hello, I am running Windows 8 64 bit with iTunes 11.0.2.26. This is a new PC and this is the first time I have tried to use it with my iPod. My iPod classic does not show up in Windows or in iTunes. The only way I have been able to sync anything is in disk mode. When syncing in disk mode the iPod appears in Windows and then disappears again when it ihas finished.
I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, but this has not sorted out the problem. The iPod device troubleshooter can not see the device. I have tried several different usb slots and two different sync cables. I can not see the iPod in device manager.
My iPod model is MB565 version 2.0.1 PC.
I would like to be able to sync my device as normal and to see if there are any updates available for my iPod classic, which as iTunes currently can't see the device, is not possible.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks!

Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

I can't bluetooth my photos from my old phone to my iphone 4. i have paired the devices but my iphone wont accept the data. Please can you help??

I am trying to send all of m photos to my iphone from my old phone (Nokia N97 mini). I have paired the devices, the iphone says it is connedted but when i try to transfer the data from the Nokia, i get a message saying could not connect.
Please can you help??
Thanks

File transfer by bluetooth is not supported on the iPhone. There are a few apps in the app store that permit the transferring of photos by bluetooth, but this is only iPhone to iPhone. Fact is, you can't do what you're trying to do, so you can quit trying.
