  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

  • 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.

  • I upgraded my Iphone 4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and I'm stuck in recovery mode and my phone won't restore and gives me error (1) What do I do?

    I upgraded my iphone4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and now I'm stuck in recovery mode and when I try and restore my phone it gives me error code (1)  At this point,
    I want a working phone.  Any ideas?

    download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

    - Try here to get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Yu can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For that see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Try DFU mode:

  • 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!!

    Hey thehealingidea,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues restoring you iPhone 5c. I also understand that you have received error 4013. The following resource may assist you:

    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Install the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Restart your computer.
    3. Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
      - Learn more about updating OS X.
      - Learn more about updating Windows.
    4. Restore using another USB cable.
    5. Restore your device on another computer.
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
    Learn more about other update and restore errors.
    Thanks,

  • 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...

  • New 5th generation ipod wont install software and is now stuck in recovery mode

    I just received a 32 GB iPod touch 5th generation for Christmas today. I installed the newest version of itunes, backed up my former iPod to the computer and then plugged in the new one to add the software and restore it from the back up. After  the 3 hours of installing the software was almost done it said an unknown error ocurred. Now my new iPod is stuck in recovery mode and won't get past restoring the iPod. I have tried to go through it several times now. I really want to get this working, but I don't know what to do anymore.

    The problem is that it stops restoring. I go throught the recovery stage to restore it and not even a quarter of the way through it comes up with the message that an unknown error has occured. Every time i connect it to iTunes it tells me that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I dropped my iphone and now its stuck on recovery mode.

    i dropped my iphone on the kitchen floor and it went completely off. Now i got it on to show something on the screen, but its just stays only on recovery mode. I plug phone into itunes to try to restore and after the restoring process is complete, it gives me a error -1. Then goes right back to recovery mode. Does any of you know how i can fix this problem and get my itunes to read the phone so i can restore it please?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $199 if you didn't buy AppleCare+.
    There is no magic that can fix broken hardware.
