I phone stuck on recovery mode after i update for 7.1.1

hi,
after i updated my phone for 7.1.1  it only shows on the screen to connect to i tune.///is there a way i can remove recovery mode without missing al my setting on my phone?

Hello dreams1
If it is in recovery mode, then no you can escape or bypass it and you would need to use iTunes to restore it. Once that is complete, if you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud, then you can put that back up back on.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed update.

    Hi, I have a bad situation here... My iPhone 5 got stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update to iOS 7.1.1 from 7.0.4 and it failed (error code 6). If this was my iPod touch I would just restore it because all I have is music, but this iPhone has all my sisters graduation photos, important photos, important school documents, contacts, app data, videos from concerts. Etc. I was wondering if I could get the photos off the phone before restoring it, because they are important. I know I should've backed up my photos and made a backup of the phone, but I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if there is any way to get the photos and app data back. The app data doesn't really matter but the photos do. The device was not jailbroken or hacked in any way.
    If you could help, tell me ASAP.

    When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed.  The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.   
    You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet".  This is Apple's technical support forum.  We do know what we're talking about.
    since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them?  This is how the phone is meant to be used.  Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish.  Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update?  As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
    I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson.  BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer?  I'm sure you have important data on your computer.  Hard drives WILL fail.

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode after Update

    So, last month my phone got stuck in recovery mode while I was on vacation, saying I needed to insert a sim card. There was already a sim card in it, eventually it just stopped working & would not let me restore. I took it to Apple & they replaced it.
    Just tonight it popped up telling me there was a new update, so I updated it. @ the very end, it said update failed.. blah blah recovery mode error 1013. Same error I got last time. I don't get it? Why does this keep happening to me? I purchased a new macbook pro back in August, could this have something to do with it?
    Thanks

    NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!
    Both my daughter and I had the same problem on different computers. Hers is an iPhone 4 and mine, a 5. Both got caught in recovery mode. I did follow the above mention troubleshooting however to no avail. Took it into the Apple shop yesterday and they restored it back to the factory setting for 6.0.1. Lost all of my content on the phone.
    The Genisus stated that is it a Windows problem.
    Yes, I agree, that Apple has lowered their delivery and service. It is true, that Apple is the new Microsoft, that it is ok to have problems when upgrading and when it hangs, just reload.
    AVOID THE UPGRADE AT ALL COSTS.

  • IPhone4 stuck in recovery mode after iOS5 update

    Hi guys,
    hope someone will be able to help.
    I bought a second hand iPhone 4 from ebay and all was well when recieved.
    However I then tried to update to iOS 5 a few days ago and iTunes said "an unkown error occured (-1)" during the restore and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode.
    I took the phone to a local apple store where a genius told me that the phone had had a "dodgy" repair in the past and so they were unwilling to work on it.
    I have tried many methods to exit recovery mode but none have worked.
    I will be happy to even stay on iOS4 forever as long as I get my phone back and workable.
    FYI, before the update to iOS 5 all updates  were succesful and never encountered a problem, the phone has never been jailbroke or hacked in any manor.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Look what google found! Amazing how that works eh?

    also:
    *Error 1604*: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    2. Restore and wait for error 1604.
    3. When prompted, click OK.
    4. Close and re-open iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    5. iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    6. Try to restore again.

  • Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after io6 update

    I have waited for months to update to io6 because I have been busy, and now that I have, I'm stuck in recovery mode giving me a (-1) error.  Some say that's a hardware error, but it can't be because it coincided with the update to ios6.  Here's what I've tried:
    Rebooting everything
    Tried to recover from mac.
    Tried to recover from windows.
    Tried to recover using different router without wifi.
    Placed in DFU mode.
    Did hard reset.
    Tried to hard reset with uplugging cord during download then reattaching.
    Tried tiny umbrella.
    Tried using different cord.
    Have the latest version of Itunes.
    Went into terminal and deleted file after # that some kid on you tube said to do.
    I'm at my end of searching.  Any suggestions????  I know it can't be hardware because it did this immediatly following the ios 6 update.  Thanks,

    When you do an iOS update certain parts of the hardware are used that aren't normally used. If these fail then you can get an error (-1). The error occurs not because of the content of iOS 6 but the update process itself.
    If you can't get out of recovery mode with all that you have tried then your iPad likely has a hardware problem and needs replacement. Hopefully you are still under warranty.

  • Ipod stuck in recovery mode after software update

    My ipod is suck in recovery mode after software upgrade ios 6. No matter what I did it's still stuck and itunes doesn't recognized it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update?  I can't get it out even after I restore.  Please help!

    I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out.  I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode.  Please help!

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode after problems updating to 3.1.3

    I just tried updating and somewhere in the process my phone went into recovery mode. It has the little connect to itunes thing on my iphone, and when i plug it in iTunes says it needs to restore. I begin this process, but a minute or two into it an error pops up: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)."
    I tried restarting my computer and trying again... nothing, probably tried 6 times or so...
    not sure if it makes any difference, but I did recently upgrade to the 3Gs and its only been synced once before...

    well that was helpful. I ended up syncing it to another computer and the restore and update worked fine... I'm currently restoring my phone from a backup so hopefully I'll get everything back to the way it was... still not sure why it wouldnt update on my macbook, but at least I've got my phone operational again.
    Thanks!

    If you're in recovery mode, all data on the phone is already lost.
    It has always been very basic knowledge to ensure ALL your data are backed up before attempting to update any computerized device, be it a phone, a computer, a tablet, anything.  I hope you have done this, because if you didn't your data are gone.

  • Zen touch stuck in recovery mode after usual update attempt.HE

    I like many others on the forum have attempted to carry out the firmware update only to be left in the same position as many others.My zen touch is now stuck in the recovery mode with no firmware and my pc wont recognise the player. The o/s on my pc is windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 2. I have wiped the hard dri've and installed a copy of windows 2000 but still no luck. I re-installed windows xp and now in device manager i have a creative zen touch showing and also a pci modem both with yellow ? marks next to them with a message of re-install drivers code 28,however the drivers are already installed with the latest driver from the creative web site. It appears that the pc wont recognise the player because there is no firmware installed. I have tried almost everything that has been mentioned on the forum and am now at my wits end. The player was working perfectly well before trying the firware update and i think that it is disgusting that a company as large as creative has not helped more with this problem ,looking at the amount of people that has had this same thing happen to them.Any help from you good people out there would be much appreciated. Thank you.Paul.

    I too tried the 'upgrade' and now my Zen is history. I will not give up - I just do not have the hours that it will take to fix available to me right now.
    I am very serious, Creative People, I have 2 suggestions:
    ) remove the faulty upgrade from your website
    2) Fire the person who initiated the upgrade.
    I certainly wouldn't have a job if I created an upgrade like this.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted update.  Will not restore

    I attempted to update my iPhone software to the latest, and then proceded to fail.  Now it will not restore, will not power on, and will not hard reset via the sleep/awake button and other.  I've had this phone less than a week and I'm already having issues. 

    If you are using a Windows based computer to restore the iPhone, it could be the security software or firewall preventing the restore process.

    If nothing above helps, definitely return it. It's under warranty.
