IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode after iOS 6 upgrade

I used to have a fully operational iPhone 4 until yesterday, when I upgraded to iOS 6.
Many apps including Mail, Safari, Contacts, Calendar and several third-party apps have been stuck in landscape mode since then.
I have tried to:
- reset
- restore from back-up
- restore to factory settings,
without success.
At the end of the day, I am not even sure whether this problem relates to iOS 6 or if it is just a coincidence. Anyway, the only workaround I found is to lock autorotate in portrait mode, which is not acceptable in the long run.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Pb solved!
Yesterday, my iPhone ran out of battery and powered off automatically. When I restarted it after a full battery load cycle, the iPhone was able to autorotate again.
So far, so good
Hope it helps someone else.

Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

Iphone stuck in dfu mode after resoting with wrong BR

iphone stuck in dfu mode after resoting with wrong BR

Hi, my iPhone was water damaged, and was stuck in dfu but wouldn't restore due to error 2001, this is what I did,
The phone is not jail broke or unlocked its straight, I striped the phone and cleaned all the boards and let them dry
Out, I've heard that if an I-device has error remove the power supply for a few days, and since royal mail thought my battery was a packet of drugs they ript the back of and snapped the battery cable, I am perusing royal mail about the damage they have done, so I got a knew batt and put it all together, I pressed the on button and the home button for ten seconds, then web I started to boot I let go of the on button, waited for ten seconds and the phone came up as normal, no connect to I-tunes screen, I put the USB lead in and restored my phone to a bran new phone and then updated it to the latest firmware, the phone is fine, every thing works and it turns on and of with no problems, I hope this helps people out their.

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.

IPad and IPhone stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to ios 6

I tried updating to ios on my Ipad 2 via computer and after the update downloaded a error message appeared my Ipad is now stuck in recovery mode. Is this happening to anyone else? SORT IT OUT APPLE!!!!

Do you have to restore your iPhone again? You could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. You could also try checking out this link.

IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after IOS 6.0 update

My iphone 4S is stuck in recovery mode. I connected to iTunes earlier today to update the IOS to 6.0 and that's when it got stuck. From reading phones stuck in recovery mode, it seems like it is happening with this software update. Why didn't they tell us there would be an issue and pull the update.
I have an appt at the Genius desk later today. My question is this; I have phone messages on my phone, I listed to messages that ATT saves on their server and the older ones on my phone are not in their current 20 list. When my phone is restores, will all of the phone messages still be on my phone? How about all of the photos I took this week? Last time I synched was more than a week ago.
The phone messages are very important to me. I can't loose them. My son died this summer and 2 of the messages are from him.

If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on the phone are gone. If your messages were not previously backed up, then they are forever gone.

Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode after ios 8.1 update

i have a first generation ipad mini which usually works fine. last night the ios update appeared in my settings and i tried to install it.
i didnt have enough space so deleted some apps and then installed.
the ipad switched on at the end but said the update failed as i didnt have enough space i needed a little more. i deleted more apps and attempted to install again
this failed my ipad is now stuck in recovery mode, it hasn't taken itself out as apples help pages suggest after 15 minutes its been in recovery now for 15 hours
i have tried to connect to itunes as the screen is telling me to but it will not recover from there either as apparently i can't connect to apple servers my connection isnt working - i assume because others are having this problem as i a using the same pc to post this message so know my network is fine.
i need help to get out of recovery mode - itunes says my software is up to date so i may have this nightmare software already.

i originally tried to install the update using wifi and this did not work. i think i might just chuck the thing as looking on the boards all my stuff will be lost anyway - i backed up 2 days ago but that is nowhere to be found now in itunes or the cloud kmt

IPod touch stuck in recovery mode after iOS 6 update error 6

I wanted to sync my iPod touch with my Mac last night, when iTunes tried to sell me on the iOS 6 update. I told it to go ahead with the update, and left it alone to do its thing. When I checked again, it told me the update had failed with error 6, and that I might need to restore my iPod. The only info I've found about error 6 pertains to Windows security software, and that clearly does not apply to my case.
The iPod is now stuck in recovery mode, and none of the my googling has changed that. I have tried the various patterns of power and home keys, and have also tried downloads that were supposed to force the iPod out of recovery mode. How exactly does an update brick a device? Now I don't mind restoring the iPod, but I need to get my data back. Loosing the data is not acceptable. This is not a jailbreak attempt. I just want my data back, and I don't mind going low-level to get it (i.e. terminal, dd, scripts, ...). Pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to extract my data and copy it to a disk image with the help of http://code.google.com/p/iphone-dataprotection/wiki/README. This process is really only appropriate for developers, I regret to say, but for developers the process is reasonably robust. I still had to read between the lines in one or two places, and make good use of the shell, but I am delighted to have retrieved my data from my iPod.
A lower priority question for me is whether to try to collect my notes and contacts from the assorted .sqlitedb files. It looks like iFunBox may come in handy if I try to push things back onto the iPod once I restore it.
For anyone who cares to know, my iPod Touch decided to listen on port 2000 instead of port 2222, my /dev/rdisk0sXsY devices had different numbers than expected by dump_data_partition.sh, and I had to find my keychain-2.db file in /mnt2/Keychains on the data filesystem. But it worked, and that's awesome.

Why is my iPad stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update?

I plugged in my iPad2 to sync and download a document. I noticed that there was an update to iOS 5 so I elected to download the update. As a result my Ipad seems to be stuck in recovery mode as every time I plug it in and attempt to connect to iTunes I get the message. "Itunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with itunes." I do so and after waiting for the update to download it tells me the same thing again. I have tried different USB ports, rebooting my iPad and the computer and disabling antivirus software. Please help me I literally need to use my iPad.

I had a similar issue with my Ipad. I had to take it to Apple, they restored the system but after that my IPad did not sync. It was not until an hour ago I read on another forum someone suggesting disconnecting the Ipad abd turning it off, then connecting it to the PC (usb port) and then turning the Ipad on. Try it it may work for you. I tried apple support 3 times before with no luck! Good luck.

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 stuck in recovery mode after restoring

Ok, so I was having the "searching..." signal for a long time, and then I decided to restore, after the restoration was done the iphone entered into recovery mode, i tried restoring again many times with no success, itunes keeps giving me an error (-1). The iphone is not jailbroken.

i really dont know what can cause it... best guess, somehow the iOS is not being saved correctly on the device...

IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted to downgrade from iOS5 Beta

Hi,
There was a bug being reported in one of my apps, but I couldn't replicate it. I tried to downgrade back to 4.3.5 to see if iOS 5 was the reason that I couldn't replicate it, but now my phone is stuck in Recovery Mode.
I have restored Xcode 4.1, iTunes 10.4.1 to remove iOS5 from my mac. Now I'm stuck in the cycle: connect me to iTunes screen -> Preparing to restore -> Unknown error code 1604.
Will I get help at an Apple store? Or do I now just have an expensive door stop?

Please use the confidential forums created for this purpose:

3GS stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update

I just updated my iTunes to the latests update on my Dell. That wasn't the problem though. When i updated my 3gs, it got stuck in recovery mode and gave me an error code -1. No clue what this means and I desperately need help to get this fixed ASAP.

Mine did that as well, so I finally unplugged from computer. Then plugged back in and iTunes said it had discovered an iPhone in recovery mode did I want to restore from backup. I of course chose yes and it restored then updated right to iOS5. Hope it works for you like it did me.
