How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..Please help me

How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..i have tried So many ways and aloso tryed with 3rd party software but nothing happens...i trying with iTunes but error 14 message appare..i am from bd that's why in my country doesn't have any apple service center

Error 14 is typically a hardware failure, but can be caused by security software...anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Given what you've posted, I suspect a hardware failure, & if that's the case, you won't be able to restore the phone. You'll need to find a service center to confirm.

TS3694 How do I solve Errorr 2001 when iPhone is in recovery mode?! HELP!

My iPhone 4S isn't turning on properly! It comes up with the apple logo then turns off again!
Like any normal person I have plugged the phone into iTunes, it tunes on then comes up with the USB pointing to the iTunes symbol which then tells me it's in Recovery Mode and I should Restore the Phone... After reaching to 'Verifying iPhone with iTunes' the message 'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (2001)'
Then its back to square one!!
Somebody help, it's very frustrating!!!

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

My Iphone 4s i cannot switch the wifi or bluetooth on

I have the following problems with my Iphone 4s 1 I cannot switch wifi or bluetooth on either in settings or using sari when i use sari she says they are switched on tho they are clearly not also cannot adjust volume using buttons and it will not switch to landscape for video or pics any help would be great

Hi Devilish70,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone has a hardware or software issue the is making Wi-Fi grayed out and locking the viewing-orientation. The following two articles provide tips that may resolve the issue without setting up service.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Display does not go into landscape mode
Remember that photos, webpages, and applications will not change viewing-orientation modes when iPhone is lying flat. Hold iPhone vertically to switch between portrait and landscape modes or vice versa.
Verify that rotation lock is not on.
To test, open the Calculator application while holding the iPhone vertically (portrait mode). The standard calculator should appear. Then rotate the iPhone to a horizontal position (landscape mode), and the scientific calculator should appear.
Note: Certain apps and features may support only one mode, landscape or portrait. For example, the Videos app plays video in landscape mode, and Reminders uses only portrait mode. Not all applications on iPhone use landscape mode.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Cheers!

IPhone 4s stuck in Recovery Mode. CANNOT Restore. Help!

I need help getting my iPhone out of recovery mode. All that the screen shows is a black background, the white charger, and an arrow pointing at the iTunes icon. When I plugged the charging cable into my computer to recharge my phone's battery -- it had gotten below 10% before the screen changed to this -- iTunes tells me that I need to restore my iPhone.
Here's the problem. Although my back up is pretty much up to date -- I backed up yesterday -- this afternoon, I was at a sports event my company held, with more than 300 participants, all children. I took more than 100 (possibly 200) photos of the children at the request of the company president, to use on the company's web site and social media accounts (I am the company's webmaster). My phone battery died (the Apple logo came up, and then the screen went blank) as the last of the award winners was on the podium (it happened to be my son, so a friend snapped his photo). When I got into the car, I plugged the phone in, and all I got was the low battery icon. When I got home and plugged the phone into the AC base, the charger/iTunes graphics came up. I thought it odd that iTunes was being requested, so I took the phone and the cable and plugged into my laptop... where I was informed of the need to restore the phone.
I CANNOT restore. I CANNOT lose those photos. I already showed them to my boss (my NEW boss... I only got hired last week!) and she was very excited about how great they'll look online. The site is sorely lacking in photos of our children's events. I cannot restore because it will go back to what I had yesterday... and I need these photos!
How can I NOT restore? Please don't suggest my purchasing some software package. The reason I got this job is because I don't have any income and I can't afford $70 software or the time. If the phone must be restored, then I most definitely will need help in attempting to recover the lost data (the photos!). Please, please help... I just spent the last four hours taking these photos and I cannot afford to lose them! Regardless of what it says here under Product, I hae an iPhone 4s and it is running the most up to date iOS, whatever number that is at this point in time. Thank you in advance for your help!

It is unfortuante that this happened. However, the iPhone will have to be restored. There is no option other than maybe some third party software, if there was another option, you would know already.
You could restore it and see if you had iCloud photostream on. It stores photos you take for up to thirty days. If it was enabled, restore your device and turn it on in settings -> icloud and those photos will show up no problem.
If you did not, it is a possibility that something like dropbox was performing backups of those photos.
I am really sorry this happened to you with the new job and everything, but a restore is unfortunately required as your iPhone has already lost this data anyway.

I cannot switch on the wifi on my iphone 4s

I cannot switch on the wifi on my iphone 4s. The wifi button remains grey and fix. I have updated to IOS 6 since 1 month and this happens only 4 days ago. Can anybody help?

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears then let both buttons go and wait for the phone to restart.

IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.

Hi sumitsmith,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that you are having issues with your iPhone unexpectedly powering off or restarting, you may find the following article helpful:
iOS: Device unexpectedly restarts, displays Apple logo, or powers off
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5356
If you are describing a different issue with your iPhone (for example, a display issue, or a battery/power issue), you may want to take a look at this article to see if it is addressed:

I GOT THE SOLUTION!!
This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!

I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?
