IPhone 5 reverts back to recovery mode when trying to restore

I took my iPhone 5 into the local mac reseller store. I asked for a new battery and new lighting charging port. I came back and he said he tried a soft reboot and it went to recovery mode. take it home and restore he said. I was mad and said oh well ok. I get home and tried to restore and after downloading and installing, right at the end when it says phone has beed restored and is restarting....then bam...right back to recovery mode with cord pointing to plug into iTunes. Did this many times with same results. I'm thinking he did break into the phone and messed it up and will not cop to it. Any Ideas what to do now????????

Take it to the nearest Apple store and they will be able to get your phone out of recovery mode, if you've tried many times already.
Just as long as your phone isn't jailbroken you'll be ok.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
    How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
    Please help.

    You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

  • IPhone 5 going into recovery mode when trying to update iOS 7

    My 5 went into recovery mode when trying to update to 7.0.2 OTA. At first I was like ok just a glitch. Well trying to update to 7.0.3, it did it again. So right now I am again in the process of restoring and updating my 5.
    What is going on?

    because I'm an idiot.. of course.. All my other over the air updates have worked, I had a good wifi connection, knew I had a backup, and was desperate to get past the initial bugs I've been experiencing..
    I downloaded iTunes on my work PC, enough to get it going again, which I bascially had to do twice.. iTunes didn't find a backup and said that iCloud didn't have a backup, even though it did.. So, it did a basic install of iOS 7..  I then erased all settings from the iPhone itself and when it restarted I chose to restore from iCloud which the phone was able to find..
    Have not seen anything better.. I've had a couple random reboots. Once when swiping the Starbucks notification on the lock screen, the phone immediately crashed back to the apple boot screen.

  • My iPhone 5 went to recovery mode when trying to install update 6.1.4

    A couple of hours ago, I got a prompt on my iPhone 5 to install update 6.1.4 over wifi (for the speakers). I turned on wifi in phone settings and clicked install and saw a tiny message saying 'Verifying, ..'
    The next thing I saw was a symbol for connecting iphone usb to iTunes. When I did, Itunes said that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. Trusting that Apple would know what it is doing, I clicked okay, but stopped short of actually resoring when itunes warned me that my data would be lost and phone will be restored to factory settings. Data is everything!!!
    I have important family pictures that haven't been backed up and I don't want to lose them. What do I do? It would have been so much better had Apple update warned me to backup before starting update. iPhone does not even turn on now. Help please!!! Very disappointed in Apple. Their own updates should not crash their own devices, and without any warning of data loss whatsoever.
    Apple has become a big bully!!!
    Please Help..

    firstly dont panic my friend..  if your phone is not turning ON, try a hard reset
    Press and Hold down the Lock button [wch is on top] and the Home button...hold both of em together for 10 secs or till the time you see tghe apple logo
    once you see the apple logo release the keys the phone will come back to life
    if you find the the handset is in recovery mode you have no other option but to restore the device. Sorry but tht is the only thing you can do.  good luck

  • How do i get my iphone 5 out of recovery mode after trying to install ios 7

    Alright, so i tried to install ios 7 and i got an error saying that the ios 7 update got a problem and so then my phone went into recovery mode. i installed tiny umbrella to get it out of recovery and it worked, so then i tried to install ios 7 again and it got another error this time my phone had already been switched to the ios 7 format but was not completely done, so my phone went into recovery mode again. so i tried tiny umbrella again and it just kept going back to recovery mode. i tried to restore my phone after trying to look for another way to get my phone out of recovery mode and i got nothing so i decided to restore my phone and i then get another freaking error saying that itunes could not restore due to a problem, then i just decided to try tiny umbrella one last time and it didnt work. so i tried to restore again but now my phone is not being detected on itunes so i cant do anything, and my phone is stuck in recovery mode... all i was trying to do is get the new update and now my phone is dead, it wont do anything please help!!

    Use tinyumbrella. Connect your iphone, click on the random string of numbers that appears in the recover devices window, and click "exit recovery". That solved my problem, and it may solve yours. Give it a shot.

  • HT201263 iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to download ios6

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it, it seems to download the new software (ios6) but nothing is restored. I still get that recovery screen. How can I get out of the recovery mode?

    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:
