IPhone 4 won't exit recovery mode

Error 14. Tried updating iTunes, MacBook, used different ports and cords. Also tried in guest account. It happen when I tried to update to iOS 7.0.3, but the update stopped half way through and won't do anything now. I've tried deleting the update data and re-downloading it but didn't help so I'm assuming hardware problem..
Advice?

Sounds to me like it was probably jailbroken. Do you know if it was? If so, try to get your money back as it will most likely never work again.

  • IPhone won't exit recovery mode/ keeps saying "connect to iTunes"

    I recently updated my iPhone 6 plus to iOS 8.2 everything was going fine, I was able to download the new iOS. I was updating the phone when suddenly iTunes informed me that I had to restore the phone in order for it to be updated. I gladly did. And then after a while, iTunes informed me again that the device could not be found (or something like that, "like the computer can't find the iPhone"). And it went into recovery mode. It just kept showing "connect to iTunes" on the screen. I have tried restaring and reseting the phone but it comes back to the "connect to iTunes" (even though it is connected) and when I try to restore it again, the same thing happens. It's stuck in recovery mode and I can't use the phone. What should I do?
    A friend of mine told me that I should not have updated to iOS 8.2 right away because it still has some bugs (?). And that this is the reason why I couldn't get past the recovery mode. Is this true? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    Ooops sorry about that. It must've been 8.1.2 then? I honestly don't remember.. I wasn't paying attention when I updated since I regularly do it for my iPad, other phones. Anyway, whatever is the latest version of the iOS, it got me stuck in recovery mode.
    really sorry about the 8.2 Info

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change?

    my iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change, I decided to change my faulty iphone 5 battery as i was out of warrenty, I managed to chance the battery with no problems (I Think), when i put the phone back together and tried to power on with the power button, nothing happened.!  i connected to itunes and it powered on, displaying the connect to itunes screen (recovery mode) all was going well, the phone was restoring, the image of the phone restoring and loading up was displayed on the screen, when it finished it restarted but to show the connect to itunes screen again, it is stuck in the recovery loop. i tried the steps with holding the power and home button etc, none worked.! now when i try to restore, it extracts software but then, ' the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (3194)' comes up, any ideas out there???? and Happy Christmas to Everyone ,

    Hello Andyoneill9,
    It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
    Resolution
    Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
    Check your "hosts" file
    After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
    If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
    In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
    Open Terminal.
    Enter this command and then press Return:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
    Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
    Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
    Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
    Restart your computer.
    Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
    This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

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

    Hi everyone. I've tried every posisble solution from finding answers on here but nothing is working for me.
    Now here's my story:
    My iPhone4 is jailbroken and has been for a few months now with no problems. Yesterday I went to make a phone call and after the phone call I wasn't able to exit the screen with the 'Home' button, so I turned off my phone. I then turned it back on, entered my passcode, and then tried going into Instagram and it also wouldn't let me exit using the 'Home' button. So I decided to hook my iPhone up to my computer after finding someone having the same problem, and they said they just had to upgrade to the latest firmware. So I tried this today... hooked up my phone and iTunes popped up. I clicked to 'Restore' and once it downloaded everything it said it could not be restored because of 1013 error. My phone neded up going into recovery mode where the iTunes logo is on my iPhone screen. I tried exiting recovery mode by downloading the latest version of tinyumbrella but it wouldn't recognize my iPhone. My iPhone shows up with the serial number on tinyumbrella instead of "Kati's iPhone" and iTunes also won't recognize it. When I clicked "Exit Recovery" I then exited out of tinyumbrella and the apple icon showed up on my iPhone. I then tried opening iTunes and it went back to the iTunes screen on my phone. I tried clicking "restore" but it said my phone is in recovery mode and I need ot exit recovery mode. What do I do to exit recovery mode and get my phone working again? I'm on a PC, not a Mac. I"m freaking out that I may have totally broken my iPhone and will have to buy a new one Also, I'mpretty sure I'm running in 4.3.2, but I'm not sure.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.1.2

    I have an iPhone 4s and today I received a notification to update to iOS 7.1.2 so I started to install it, it failed the first time I tried cause I didn't have enough space in my phone, i deleted a few apps and then tried again. While it was installing, the apple logo appeared, I thought the update would be successful, but then the iTunes logo with the charging cable below appeared, meaning that my phone was (is) in recovery mode.
    I tried pressing home and unlock/lock button at the same time until the Apple logo appears again but it didn't work since it sent me back to the recovery mode screen.
    I tried using Tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode but it didn't work.
    I tried restoring my phone in iTunes but I got unknown error 3194 and it didn't work.
    I'm desperate to solve this, I've been looking for answers for 4 straight hours.
    I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could help me ASAP.

  • How to exit recovery mode for ipod touch 4g

    My ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and so far, the only way to exit recovery mode is to restore it. I have not backed up my photos on the ipod because I usually charge it using a wall charger rather than connecting it to iTunes. There is over 4,000 priceless photos that I do NOT want to lose on that iPod. How do I exit recovery mode without restoring the iPod?

  • How to restore my iphone 3G when is on recovery mode all the time.

    My iphone 3G is always in recovery mode showing on the screem an usb pointing into and Itunes icom.  I can not unlock it.  How I can restore when I am using windows 7 on my pc? As well I would like to let you know that I am not sure what kind of programs I need to download to resolve my issue. I have heard about "tinyumbrella".
    I have some pictures and videos that I do not want to loose. I would appreciate any kind of help to sort out my problem.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards

    1.  The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5.  Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
    2.  "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error."  What EXACT error?
    3.  "i restored but some things were erased"  What "things"?  Did you get an error again.  Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
    4.  Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?
