IPHONE 5 STUCK ON RECOVERY MODE TRIED DOWNLOADING UPDATE AND COMES UP WITH ERROR:3259

iphone has gone to recovery mode after trying to update i have plugged it in to itunes and then tried downloading the new update whilst in recovery mode but from the 999mb file it gets to about 75mb stops and then comes up with the error code 3259

What exactly does the message say?
Did you try googling the error? If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a firewall or network problem.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode trying to update

    I was attempting to update to the new ios 8. I did this all in the normal way as i usually do. When it got to the extracting software at the top of the itunes screen it took about 1 hour for this to nearly reach the end. then just before it reached the end it stopped and said it could not be restored as the iphone could not be found. now the iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and every time i connect it to itunes it says i need restore which i do and then the same thing keeps happening. it goes to extracting software bar for an hour and then stops just as it is about to finish.
    i have a laptop with windows xp and have installed latest itunes, i have attempted rebooting everything with no joy.
    please help.
    iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

    Follow exactly what I wrote below to fix iPhone stuck in recovery mode:
    Hold both power button & home button for 10 seconds.
    Once the device shuts off release the power button and keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds.
    The screen will remain black, plug it up to iTunes and see if it detects it.
    If that does not work hold both buttons to make device shut down, once screen is off hold the home button while plugging it up to PC.
    Do not let go of home button till recovery screen shows up on your device.

  • HT1414 HElP i got my iprhone 4 stuck in recovery mode  trying to update to I0s 7.  I have watched youtube videos but nothing works i have only 8g i dont know if that has something to do with it.  I dont want to download any complicated files Help me!!

    I got my phone stuck in recovery mode while  trying to update I0S 7.  I have watched countless youtube videos and read multiple articles to try and resolve this issue.  I have done everything but, When i try to take it out of recovery mode as shown it puts it right back in recovery mode.  This is a very annoying.  Please Help Me

    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.

  • 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.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted update.  Will not restore

    I attempted to update my iPhone software to the latest, and then proceded to fail.  Now it will not restore, will not power on, and will not hard reset via the sleep/awake button and other.  I've had this phone less than a week and I'm already having issues. 

    If you are using a Windows based computer to restore the iPhone, it could be the security software or firewall preventing the restore process.

    Hello NoahLovesYou
    Try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and try to restore it again. If it gives you an error while it is restoring in iTunes, check the error against the second article for additional help.

    i dont know but you went through all of this
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com.

  • Frustrated and ready to give up- Stuck on Recovery mode every attempted update

    Monday night, I fearfully plugged my phone into my PC after I updated to the new ITunes. (And freshly installed Icloud).
    I had hopes of backing up my phone so in case of issues- i would not loose everything.
    I say fearfully plugged in because in November- the last Iphone IOS  software update- I plugged my phone in to my computer and it got stuck in Recovery mode. It would not let me Restore. I continued to get error 1604.
    So, I switched and plugged my phone into my husbands computer and finally - after about 7 hours - it Restored back to factory.
    Now...Monday night, I was optimistic. "Maybe what happened before was a fluke."
    NOPE!
    Same thing. Same song. And apples genius tech support for the NWT, is via phone only (Really...really smart. Especially when your only phone is a brick stuck in recovery mode).
    I tried everything. Holding home/off button. Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. Using EVERY different USB port the computer had. Rebooted. Reglogged. Reset the computer to the daybefore .
    Now. I am sitting again with no photos. no videos. nothing. And I am fearfull to plug my phone in again to attempt to throw music on to it. (Guess ill be working out to the tunes of music in my head).
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Has this happened before to someone: where every single time you plug your phone in to do an update/back it up on itunes...it gets stuck in recovery mode.

    Per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1604
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    If you tried all this and it did not work, but it did work on a different computer, then there is something wrong with your computer. Your computer isn't going to magically fix itself in between iOS version updates.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode, what now

    iphone stuck in recovery mode, what do i do now pls?

    Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
    If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.
