I have an iPhone 4S, seems to be stuck in recovery mode

i have an iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode, i have tried restoring in recovery and dfu mode, i have also tried custom ipsw's and still nothing, first it was returning a 21 error now its returning a 2001 error! really starting to fustrate me now!

Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

  • What does Error -1 mean? It wont let me restore my iphone 4s HELP? its stuck in recovery mode!

    Got my iphone sceen replaced by a local guy... iphone 4s is only 4 months old.. got the mobile back and it had no signal so i went to do a restore on the iphone and it came up with Error-1 and is now stuck in recovery mode.. tried everything possible, New computer.. updating itunes etc... Just wont move from recovery mode and wont restore at all. Think my warrenty would be void as i got my screen replaced by someone else..? Would apple accept this mobile back as ts only 4 months old

    Error -1 is most often failure of the iPhone baseband chip. You are correct about warranty lapse, however Apple Genius can be very helpful. Let them try to Restore the iPhone at the Apple Store. See if they have fix for Error -1. Make Genius Reservation so you can avoid long wait.

  • IPhone 5c won't restore, stuck between recovery mode & apple logo loop

    Hello all,
    I got a lovely little iphone 5c secondhand. The only problem is that it will not cooperate with me.
    At first, it was stuck in recovery mode, but I can switch it out of that, and into the apple logo loop or dfu.
    No matter what I do though, (recovery mode, dfu, loop), it will NOT restore.
    It gives me an error code of 3014 every time.
    Once in awhile it also loads a screen of script, that ends in "panic, we're hanging here" or some such.
    I HAVE seen it load to the lock screen twice now, but only for a split second. And while it did that, iTunes told me it couldn't connect to "Jessica's iPhone" due to the passcode. So I know something in there still works. Just not sure about what ISN'T working.
    I'm REALLY hoping someone on here can help!
    And sorry if I don't have all the info you need/posted in the wrong area. First time here.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Install the latest version of iTunes.

  • IPhone 4- 6.1.3 stuck in  recovery mode

    I have bought an iphone 4 off trademe.co.nz and was told it doesnt read a sim but is still good for an ipod...so i turned it on and it was on the connect to itunes screen, so I connected to itunes and it said it has detected an iphone in recovery mode and that I should update an restore so i did it, so then the phone updated to 6.1.3 which was good and I was able to get into the phone and set it up, but the second i connected it to comuter it went staright back ito recover mode and is stuck there. I cant restore it at all...any suggestions

    I did manage to activate it and it worked fine as an ipod with games n stuff, then I turned it off and went back to connect to itunes, like recovery mode, now its saying "install original firmware" for some reason. I am trying to get my money  back but the cow is threating to call police cos I'm "harrassing" her >:/

  • I have an iPhone 5 that goes from DRU to Recovery Mode. I can't get out or restore?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to re-install the OS or should I just take a HAMMER to it?

    See this support document for unable to restore. If you can't update or restore your iOS device  You may have to do it more than once.

  • I have a ipod 4g and it is stuck in recovery mode

  • HT1339 My nano seems to be stuck in recovery mode.  It won't restore...what do I do?

    I've tried several times to restore.  It looks as though it is finished.  The iPod restarts and then shows up on iTunes, but immediately, I get a message that the iPod is in recovery mode and I need to restore it.  I've tried a soft reset, and everything is up to date.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode - not jailbroken.

    Please help!
    I have an iphone 4 and i dropped it a few weeks ago and the screen cracked.
    It was working fine other than the obvious crack.
    Then the other day it turned off out of nowhere and wont turn back on.
    It seems to be stuck in recovery mode as when i attach it to the usb it only shows the apple sign and connect to itunes sign.
    When I then try to restore it it says iphone cannot be restored and says iphone cannot be restored unknown error occured (21) / (23).
    My iphone is not jailbroken.
    I am using windows 7.
    Anyone with who has any advice it would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    Apple doesn't fix phones they replace them.
    The iPhone warranty is NOT international.  You need to return the phone to the country in which it originated (the EU is considered ONE country for warranty purposes)

  • IPhone 4; Have tried updating but stuck in recovery mode.

    Here it is,
    Just got my iPhone 4 and have tried to update it to the new iOS 5 software that has been released. I plugged it in, pushed update and restore and everything that your supposed to do normally.
    But now instead of working, it is now stuck in recovery mode and cannot seem to get it out of there! I have tried many methods but cannot seem to find one that actually works!
    Any help is greatly appreciated as I really want my phone up and running again!!!
    Cheers,
    Max.

    try to put your phone in recovery mode. plug into itunes and hold down the home button and top button until apple logo appears and then let go of the top button only. the phone should display plug into itunes.let go of the home button when this happens. disconnect iphone and plug it back in itunes should recognize it is in recovery mode. hit the restore button on summary page.
