Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

So basically i was on iOS 7.0.0 and when my phone was below 10% and i tried to charge it, it would keep turning on and off every 2 minutes. Somebody had told me to update to the latest version of iOS, so I did. While downloading the new version onto my phone an error code popped up (error 29) and the update bar was only half full. Ever since then my phone  has been stuck in Recovery Mode and I have tried everything I know to fix it. Please  help.

Hey Justinjoly,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

    After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

    hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
    first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
    second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
    Either of it can try!

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

    I tried to update my iPhone 4 via iTunes to iOS4.3. and after a while, iTunes gave me a error saying that my iPhone cannot be updated because of an unknown error (10) it's now stuck on a screen showing a USB cable and the iTunes logo. I tried restoring again and now i am getting the unable to restore error 11 message and it is still stuck on the screen showing a USB cable and the iTunes logo. I've also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling but nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks.

    No, i phoned Apple and they suggested the following:
    1) Power off
    2) Hold down Home button
    3) Simultaenously plug into computer whie holding down Home button
    4) Hit restore button in iTunes
    Still does not work for me, but i think my iTunes may haven been corrupted during installation, so will try it on another computer and see if it works. I read error 10, is something to do with iTunes.

  • IPhone 3G Stuck in Recovery Mode After Trying to Update to 3.1.3

    I have read through the similar issues posted on here and there have been no definitive answers.
    My dad hadn't updated his iPhone 3G to 3.1.3 yet, so we connected it today and chose to update. It downloaded the update, went through the install on the phone, then went into recovery mode and iTunes says it detected phone in recovery mode you must restore. I tried to restore and it just does the same.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, deleted and re-downloaded 3.1.3.
    My dad's computer is Vista 32 that we are doing this on.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Awesome, thanks!! I actually read on another forum about doing that on an XP computer because Vista and 7 drivers get screwed up for the iPhone, so I just got done doing it on an XP computer and it WORKED!!!!
    Thanks for the reply!

    Hi there rmarr1,
    The only way to get out of recovery mode is by restoring the device via iTunes. If you initiated the update on iTunes on your computer, there may be a back up of the device that created before the update. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Based on what you stated, it seems that the restore is not going through because if a specific build you are trying to install.

    Unfortunately, if you are in Recovery Mode then all your data is already gone.
    You need to connect to iTunes to restore iOS then restore from your latest iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • HELP!!  iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

    Ok my phone is stuck in recovery mode, Ive already restarted my computer & tried to shut down itunes & start it back up, it gets almost done with the restore verification and then it gives me a 1013 or something
    what to do?!
    Message was edited by: PsychedelicWonders

    Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
    I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
    Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

  • 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.
