This may be your porblem:

Usually this error occurs when trying to downgrade the iOS or in a previously jailbroken phone. In this case, you cannot get help here. The internet and Google are your best friends.

By "sos mode" do you mean recovery mode? If so, you have to connect it to iTunes and restore it.

HT4623 I ran the IOS 7 update and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. Help?

I ran the IOS 7 update on my phone and now it is stuck in recovery mode. On my phone it shows a cord and the I Tunes logo. When I connect to I Tunes it tells me "itunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then it only gives me the option to Restore iPhone. But when I click on this it gives me the message that it is going to reset my phone to factory settings. Doesn't this mean I will loose everything? What do I do? Is there a way to fix this without losing everything?
Help?
Thank you,
Nicole

My iPhone 4 s is stuck in recovery mode, please help!!

My phone got stuck in recovery mode while updating. The restore won't help in my iTunes.

After playing with it a bit more and holding down my home button I got the phone to restore. But now, it won't power back on unless plugged into the charger. And even then, it's stuck in recovery mode and i can't get it out. PLEASE HELP ! I am not under warranty and can't afford the Apple Store's repair prices.

IOS8 update failed on my iPad2, now stuck in recovery mode

Hi there
I am in a bit of a pickle! This is what happened:
1.     Plugged my iPad2 into iTunes, downloaded iOS8 and it began to install;
2.     iTunes downloaded the software and began to update iPad;
3.     Device showed Apple Logo and progress bar BUT then update failed. iTunes informed me it failed, clicked OK. iPad stuck and did not recover;
4.     Did a hard reset;
5.     iPad showed Red iTunes logo and said to connect to iTunes;
6.     Connected to iTunes which stated: iPad Recovery Mode, If you are experiencing problems with your iPad, you can restore to original settings by clicking Restore iPad
7.     Clicked restore iPad - warnings about losing data etc...
8.     iTune redownloaded iOS8,
9.     After downloading iTunes went back to the iPad Recovery Mode screen,
10.   iTunes redownloaded iOS8
11.   goes into an infinite loop back to point 6 and round and round we go.....
If I leave the iPad it exits recovery mode and tries to restart - but black screen after apple logo.......
Going back into recovery mode - it does the same again.... no joy...
I'm really stuck - thankfully have a backup, but does anyone have any suggestions?????????
Thankyou!
PS - iTunes, and OS Mavericks is fully up to date...

It's not possible to revert to a previous system. You're failing and it won't work, because it's not possible.
If you want to give your operating system a fresh start, here's how to do it ... reset to factory default ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.
