    If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
    Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup.

    Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Someone tried to jailbreak my iPod and now it is stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix it?

    I'm not sure what jail breaking is, however one of my friends insisted on jail breaking my iPod, 4th generation. Now it is stuck in recovery mode and everything has been wiped out. I had backed my iPod up to my computer before everything happened. Thanks for any help!

    I suggest that you find a new friend.  Based on the experiences of others, the jailbreaking may well be non-reversible.  Here are some things to try...
    Restore...
    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    If the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
    I really don't want to recommend the next step because it's a real PIA after the fact.  However...
    Restore as new with NO reload from backup!
    IF you choose to try it, here are some cautions.  Make absolutely certain that all purchased data, such as apps, music, movies, etc., are present in the iTunes library.  Also make absolutely certain that all non-purchased data, such as photos, pdf files, Word files, etc., are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive.  Be aware that you will lose all game data (scores, etc.).  Be forewarned that it is tedious recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.  Finally, be aware that all passwords will be wiped out and all settings will have returned to their default values.

  • How do you reset an ipod touch when it is still stuck in recovery mode?

    how do you reset an ipod touch when it is still stuck in recovery mode?

    Having the same problem. Plugged into the computer, iTunes doesn't connect to it. Plugged it into the wall and the low battery bar shows up but then it goes to the black/apple screen and stays there. The screen goes black and then when it pops back on again (on its own), the apple is still there. Won't hard restart either. Halp!

  • IPod touch 3g stuck in recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect it.

    I tried several times to update the software on my ipod, but each time was interrupted by my computer going to sleep (pc, Windows 7).  Now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes doesn't detect it at all.  The ipod also won't turn off.  I have tried all the troubleshooting here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US.  Please, does anyone else have any ideas?  TIA

    Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here.  It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

  • IPod Touch 3rd gen 32 GB stuck in recovery mode. iTunes won't restore. When I plug it into iTunes, it calls it an iPhone.

    My husband plugged his iPod Touch into the USB port on the computer and, once it charged some, iTunes didn't recognize it as his iPod (calling it an "iPhone" rather than "Ed's iPod"). It said that iTunes had detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that he had to restore it. When he clicked on 'restore' it said, "Software for this phone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again." After a few days (after the battery was fully drained again), I plugged it into a wall charger and it began to charge. I was able to fully see everything still on the iPod and even to access his apps. I let it fully charge, but when I unplugged it, it went black again and now it will not do anything. Back to a black screen and if we plug it into the computer, the same cycle starts again with it being recognized as an iPhone needing to be restored, etc.
    UPDATE: So, I let the iPod fully drain again and then plugged it into the computer and iTunes. It saw it as an iPod again and said it was in recovery mode and I was able to tell it to restore it. It went through the entire process, and as the iPod was restarting, it again called it an iPhone in recovery mode. Now I can no longer see the apps and the homepage on the computer but rather it shows the Apple symbols to plug it into iTunes to set it up - but again, says it is in recovery mode but will not restore it.
    Someone please help!

    I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:

  • Ipod Touch 2G 2.2.1 stuck in recovery mode - no access to restore file

    Hello, I am currectly travelling and I won't have my computer for another 7 months.
    I have an ipod Touch 2G with OS 2.2.1. I was using the Facebook app when it froze and stayed like that for a while. I decided to reset the ipod by pressing the PWR button and the home button. Once I did that I turn the ipod back on and the Apple logo came on but it was stuck. So I restarted it again. I decided to go to a cyber cafe to plug it in to see if it would fix the problem. When I plugged it in, I go the "plug it in into iTunes" or Recovery mode logo. Now iTunes asks me to restore my ipod.
    Is there a way to cancel the Recovery mode? I really don't want to loose everything for the next 7 months of my trip.
    I have tried to reset the ipod many times but I got the same results.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I had this same problem - tried the restore process about a dozen times with no positive results. Finally took the IPT to local Apple store where genius connected it to their system and it restored perfectly (as if I didn't know THAT was going to happen). What he told me next bothered me - that I would probably have to reload the IPT from scratch - but when I got home and connected the iPod to my iMac via USB, iTunes downloaded the most recent backup (which it had taken just before the restore had started) and returned everything to where it had been with one notable exception. I had just downloaded one song from the iTunes Music Store to the IPT before this whole episode got started, and it hadn't yet synched up to the iTunes music library on the iMac. The song was a loss - small price to pay for not having to try to replace a lot of other stuff that was on the IPT before. Hope you have an Apple store nearby. Sorry this isn't better news, but I went through all the other IPT troubleshooting stuff as well and nothing cleared the problem, so I didn't feel I had any other out except taking it in for "repair."

  • My brother's iPod was disabled for 23 million minutes then my dad fiddled with it. Now it's stuck in recovery mode and wont connect to my computer or go into DFU mode. How do I fix it?

    It's an iPod touch 4S, white.
    I've tried on various computer types (windows, macs, and even a linux) and nothing. None of the computers even recognized a device being plugged in.
    I know it's not the cable, our other idevices use that one fine (I bought several more to be sure and no luck).
    My dad is at his wits end and I want this insanity to end. Help please.
    It's been locked so long I don't know what iOS it's on.
    Dear god, what did my brother do.

    See what you missed here:
    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 another cable              
    - 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.
