I can't get my iPhone 5 out of Recovery mode, help?!

I plugged my phone into my macbook pro and Itunes asked me to update the phone's software, and now I cannot get out of recovery mode. Does this mean I have to restore my phone?

Yes.  You need to restore the phone.  If you connected the phone to your computer, it should be backed up in iTunes.  Possibly iCloud as well.

    Need Help, How can I get a iPhone 3G out of recovery mode without restoring it. it has never been backed up so restoring it will loose all contacts etc.

    If it's in recovery mode, your data's almost certainly gone anyway.

  • How can I get this iPhone 5 out of Recovery Mode?

    I'm sure there are many questions asking the same thing, but my situation seems a little different than what I've read so far.
    I was attempting to restore a new iPhone 5 from a previous backup from an iPhone 3. After waiting for the 5 to download the new update (6.0.2), it started the restoration process, but stopped right before it was finished and gave me an "unknown error 6". I can't seem to make sense of what error 6 is, no matter what I read in forums.
    Since then, the phone has been in Recovery Mode. I cannot get to the home screen, it WILL NOT restore completely, and every time I try I get the error 6 message. This phone is useless right now, and I am unable to restore it.
    I've tried TinyUmbrella, restoring in DFU, and nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have a clue as to where I can go from here? Any ideas are much appreciated.

    You don't.  so hopefully you've been keeping regular backups.

  • I can't get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode

    My iPhone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode and I've tried RecBoot (an apple advisor recommend that to me) and TinyUmbrella but the iPhone would just go back to recovery mode, and whenever I restore the iPhone, iTunes says error 1015 and I've tried this on different computers (on the same network) and that didn't help. Is this because my iPhone is on baseband 0.6.15? I called support and they could do anything. Please help!

    I've tried RecBoot (an apple advisor recommend that to me) and TinyUmbrella
    I find that hard to believe, as downgrading software is not supported by Apple & thus there is no official way to do so. Error 1015 occurs when you attempt or have downgraded your software. This creates a mismatch between the OS & the baseband. One of the downsides to attempting to do this is that your phone's OS can become so damaged that that it can't be restored.

  • How can I take my iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and the power button is broken?

    How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?

    Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

  • How do I get my iphone 4 out of recovery mode

    I am having trouble getting my iphone out of recovery mode. While getting my upgrade my phone became detached from the computer in the middle of the download and went into recovery mode.  I have tried to restore the phone however while itunes is extracting data my phone will reset itself after so long before itunes can finish extracting data and when it does my itunes will not pick it.  Any suggestions??

    You can try this it has always worked for me:
    Try holding both the home button and power button until it shuts off and you see the apple logo come up.
    After that does take your finger off the power button WHILE STILL HOLDING the home button.
    This should send your phone into DFU mode where you can use the recovery option to kick it out of that mode.

  • How do I get my iPhone 4S out of Recovery Mode w/o restoring? (got stuck when upgrading to ios 7)

    Last night I upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios 7, and this morning when I went to use it I was stuck in Recovery Mode - How do I get my iPhone 4S out of it w/o restoring? I have photos, contacts, etc  Iwant to get off the phone. I tried Tiny Umbrella and RecBoot but no dice. I was not able to get any help from the Apple tech on the phone. They only suggestions offered were to check to see if iPhoto or the Finder would show my device so I could copy over my photos.
    Thanks, Chad

    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.

  • How to get an iPhone 4 out of recovery mode?

    The restore needed popped up on my phone and also started cutting on and off every 3 or 4 minutes. Intially I tried to restore it through iTunes but it would not stay long enough to be restored. Then I tried to restore it in recovery mode. However the error message 1 and error message 3194 popped up after several attempts. What do those two error message mean?
    I'm wanting to take my pictures off of my phone. How can I get my phone out of recovery mode?

    Disable ALL of your antispyware/antivirus software, open your firewall, and try again. I would aslo disconnect any other USB peripherals.
    If that does not work the error 1 would indicate their is hardware damage to you iPhone. You will need to get it serviced.

    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.

  • How do i get my iphone 5 out of recovery mode after trying to install ios 7

    Alright, so i tried to install ios 7 and i got an error saying that the ios 7 update got a problem and so then my phone went into recovery mode. i installed tiny umbrella to get it out of recovery and it worked, so then i tried to install ios 7 again and it got another error this time my phone had already been switched to the ios 7 format but was not completely done, so my phone went into recovery mode again. so i tried tiny umbrella again and it just kept going back to recovery mode. i tried to restore my phone after trying to look for another way to get my phone out of recovery mode and i got nothing so i decided to restore my phone and i then get another freaking error saying that itunes could not restore due to a problem, then i just decided to try tiny umbrella one last time and it didnt work. so i tried to restore again but now my phone is not being detected on itunes so i cant do anything, and my phone is stuck in recovery mode... all i was trying to do is get the new update and now my phone is dead, it wont do anything please help!!

    Use tinyumbrella. Connect your iphone, click on the random string of numbers that appears in the recover devices window, and click "exit recovery". That solved my problem, and it may solve yours. Give it a shot.

  • How do I get my iPhone 5 out of recovery mode?

    I went to update to ios 7, and when I did my phone automatically shut down and went into recovery mode. Then, I hooked it up to the computer and restored my phone. It told me that the restore could not be completed. I have attempted the restore multiple times and I still can not get the phone out of recovery mode. Help!!!!

    If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are gone.  The only way to get your phone working again is to restore.
    Sorry for your data loss, but let this be a tough lesson learned about the importance of backing up data frequently.

  • HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

    Hello People,
    My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
    Any suggestions please post below this thread.
    Best Regards,
    Kieran

    You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1
