    what to do? pls help
    (iphone 4  and  iphone 4s)

    So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html  downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened  If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

  • My dad bought a new USB charger for his iPhone 3GS after connecting it it kept restarting I got it to recovery mode but wen restoring I get a msg error (01)

    So my dad bought a new USB cable for his iPhone 3GS wen he connected the iPhone to charge he said it turned off n turned on after but then it kept on restarting every 1min.. But it goes to main screen then it restarts over n over I manage to get it into recovery mode n I connected to itune were it asks me to upgrade n restore wen I click ok it starts normal to download n get up to restoring iPhone wen it's about to finish a msg pops up on iTunes saying  "iTunes could not restored because an error was detected on iPhone (error 01) .
    I tried a whole bunch of times trying to restore but I won't get through at all
    Any other ideas would be glad to know I also tried getting out of dfu mode but it just won't .

    Is your software up to date? You also should be able to leave DFU mode easier then you get in it. DFU mode means nothing is on your iPhone's screen when restoring.

  • TS3694 How do I restore my iPhone from recovery mode when I get an error 3194 message

    I am trying, unsuccessfully, to restore my iPhone 4 from recovery mode. When I attempt to restore through iTunes I get a message telling me the process cannot be completed because of an error 3194. There is no documentation or information on what this error means - and how to restore the phone when this message appears. Can anyone help?

    This usually means you previosly used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella, altering the hosts file on your computer, and blocking access to the apple server, gs.apple.com.
    "Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".

  • My iphone has gone into sudden recovery mode, if i restore as itunes suggests will i loose my photos? i 'think' my phone is backed up

    Hi, HELP!
    My iphone out the blue. suddenly went into recovery mode this evening. Tried all the tricks and didnt work so plugged into computer. It said something like i had to restore to factory settings. If i do this will i loose my photos?? Im pretty sure 98% is backed up on itunes on this computer when i update my iphone a few months ago.
    Thanks.

    just plug it in to your computer and do the factory restore, then when it is done you go thru the prompts and then it will ask if you want to restore as new phone or from backup.  Choose backup and restore from itunes.

  • Iphone in recovery mode and wont restore

    hello,
    I tried updating my iphone 5s to iOS8 yesterday and it was stuck updating for a couple of hours without moving an inch despite me having a good internet connection. so i unplugged it and it went into recovery mode, i knew i would have to restore it but now when u plug it into itunes it says u
    it needs to be restored and updated and when i click yes it downloads the iphone software update but when thats finished it just comes up again saying it needs to be restored and updated and when i click yes it just downloads the software update again. its done this about 5-10 times and is getting very frustrating. i have the latest version of itunes so i know it cant be that.
    can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    I had a similar issue. Turns out it was my internet connection at home and its inability to download large files without corrupting them (apparently a known issue with my Motorola modem). Usually it's not an issue but I tried it 30 or 40 times before I finally took my device to work and updated it there and it worked on the first try. Do you have the option of trying it somewhere else? Worth a shot anyway.

  • HT201210 Everything is up to date & yet my phone has gone from not being able to update to now being in recovery mode & unable to restore from iTunes

    Okay so I'm based in Australia & own a iPhone 5s
    So sometime this faternoon my pohone was perfectly fine. Had my usual signal per suaul when all of a sudden for 8hours my phone started searching for a signal. I asked friends and they had no problem with there phone. So I went to my phone provider for helo (Telstra) & basically all they told me was to do what I told them I was doing. I tried updating my phone to see if that was the cause of the probelm but what happened? iTunes said that it was unable to update & you guessed it & put it in bloody recovery mode! I go to restore it & yes you guessed it again iTunes had an error with that. Was the link it sent me to help? Nope, I had done all of it., My phone is un-accessilbe & iTunes is doing nothing at all

    There is nothing to backup.
    If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
    The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

  • HT4061 IOS6.1 corrupted during install. Ipad now wont boot, stuck in recovery mode. Wont restore to factory settings, get error 3194. HELP !!

    Hi.
    I have just tried to update Ipad to IOS6.1, but it failed during install. The pad now seems to be stuck in recovery mode.
    I have tried to restore to factory settings but I get a error code 3194
    During attempted restore the restore screen does not show the Ipad name, serial number or software version number.
    Any suggestions, I think it may need to be sent away to be repaired, and i fear this will be very expensive!!!
