IPhone 6 stuck iOS 8.1(error 53)

My iPhone 6 stuck on recovery mode when update to iOS 8.1
iTunes error 53
Any help will be appreciate.

I got error 53 following ios update 8.1.1 on my Verizon iPhone 6 64GB
I tried to get it replaced at a Verizon store - they would not, but informed me I just needed to contact Apple and they would send me a new one.
I contacted Apple for a replacement, gave them my credit card info just in case I failed to send the broken one back. They said I would have one in a couple of business days.
3 days go by and I check Apples support site, input my case number only to find my replacement has been cancelled.
I then call Apple and spend the next hour and a half - seriously that long, waiting for someone to explain why my replacement has not been sent out.
I went through three reps and ended up with Monica who informed me that I needed a proof of purchase before they could send out a replacement.
I could take it into a store and get a replacement, but they couldn't send me one until I sent them a proof of purchase.
Iphone 6 launched in November 2014. It is now December 2014. It is still under 12 month warranty - why the <expletive deleted> do I need to send in a proof of purchase? When I asked this to my rep she had no answer, but sympathized at my frustration.
Very disappointed at the abysmal level of customer service. iOS updates are not much fun when they brick your phone

Apple iPhone 4 stuck in Recovery Mode (Error 1611). Any Suggestions

My iPhone 4 (16 GB) is in recovery mode (or DFU mode), but it seems to be stuck in it. For the last two days it has been telling me to connect to iTunes and when I do it tells me, "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone it can be used with iTunes". So I press restore and it asks me if I wish to Restore and Update; I agreed. I attempted the restore, but something went wrong. It goes through the "extracting software" stage fine, but when it says "Preparing iPhone for restore", the screen flashes white for a half a second or so and then it tries to start over. iTunes then leaves me with this message, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1611)."
I have tried to get it out of Recovery Mode several times through YouTube tutorials and other websites, but when I attempt to do this, it will just go back to the "Connect to iTunes" screen. It will not respond to anything unless it is plugged into my laptop (I'm almost certain of this, I cannot be completley sure because the screen is just black if not connected). I have tried several different USB cords, re-installed iTunes and Apple programs on my computer and even made a new user account on my laptop. (I'm using Windows 7). This phone has never been Jailbroken and nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned, except the occasional time the home button would not respond.
Before this happened, everything was working fine. Earlier in the week I got the Zagg InvisibleShield applied to my iPhone and everything was working great. On the night before this happened, my battery was extremely low and I used the Apple wall charger to charge it for the night (the USB cord was torn though).
Any Suggestions Would Be Appreciated!

Here are Apple steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1611
Make sure you have a perfect USB cable. Maybe try to charge the battery before proceeding again.
If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
Error 1611 has been associated with the iPhones inability to hold the Restore Mode (mode where iTunes writes to iPhone) this can be due to anything. Restore Mode does need a good functioning battery to proceed. You describe some vague battery issues.
If you do not take the iPhone to Apple for help, the next step would be battery replacement.

Iphone 3g stuck in recovery mode(error 14) after failed 3.2.1 update

My Iphone is stuck in recovery mode after it failed to update to operating system 3.2.1 . When I press restore in itunes, the process stops at around the 20% mark and come up with error 14. I have already manually deleted and redownloaded the update 4 times, reinstalled itunes twice and created a new user on my pc and downloaded and update through this new user and disabled all security but I still keep getting the same error message. My pc is only six months old. I successfully updated the phone to operating system 3.1 a few months ago with no problems. Has anyone found a way to fix this?? This is ridiculous!!

This is the only way to make sure you've uninstalled itunes completely:
1. Restart your computer.
2. After the computer restarts, open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your programs are installed on.
3. Open the Program Files folder.
4. Right-click the iTunes folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if iTunes was successfully removed.
5. Right-click the iPod folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
6. Right-click the QuickTime folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
7. Right-click the Bonjour folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
8. Open the Common Files folder.
9. Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
10. Open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your operating system is installed on.
11. Open the Windows folder.
12. Open the System32 folder.
13. Right-click the QuickTime file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
14. Right-click the QuickTimeVR file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
15. Right-click the Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recycle Bin.

Upgrading to iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3 - error 9

Hello,
I tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to iOS 4.3 on Thursday, but at the middle of the upgrade "Restoring iPhone Firmware" step I received *error 9 message*. I tried restoring on another PC, done all recommendations on apple support page, used different usb cables and downloaded the firmware twice without any success in restoring. Currently my iPhone is showing the iTunes logo with the usb cable .
Any body please could suggest any other solution?

Here are the instructions to change the iTunes server for a Windows PC:
Select the hosts file (normally you can find your hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC).
Click the Edit menu, and choose Copy.
Then, click the Edit menu again, and choose Paste. There should now be a duplicate of the hosts file named "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7).
Drag the original hosts file to your desktop. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
Drag the "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) to the desktop.
Right-click "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) and choose Open. You may be prompted to choose the program you want to use to open this file. Double-click Notepad.
When Notepad opens, add this line to the bottom: "17.151.36.30 gs.apple.com" and delete any other line that has "gs.apple.com" in it.
From the File menu, choose Save. Close Notepad.
Drag the "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) file from your desktop back into the original location. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
Right-click the "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) file, and choose Rename. Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
Restart your computer and try connecting to the software update server.
Here are the links to Windows versions of iTunes 9.2.1: iTunes 9.2.1 for Windows 64 bit or iTunes 9.2.1 for Windows 32 bit
Finally, the firmware update file for OS 4.3.3 (Mirror 1 - iPhone 4 (4.3.3)) will work with windows. As per above, the windows instruction is "hook up your iphone 4 (that was in recovery mode). SHIFT-click (on PCs) on the Update / Restore button in iTunes. Then point in the direction of the IPSW file you downloaded (the 4.3.3 OS) to update / restore your iPhone/iPod."
I haven't tested this so good luck!

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode - Error 3194 on iTunes?

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 5 for nearly 2 years now (it's due an upgrade thankfully!), I have no problems usually updating my phone to the latest software, however last night when my phone let me know I could download iOS 8, I did so. The screen then froze on what seems to be the recovery mode, it just shows an image telling me to connect to iTunes. I made sure I had the up to date version of iTunes and upon connecting to the computer, it comes up saying iPhone cannot be reocgnised and that in order to proceed with the update I have to restore the phone to factory settings. Me and my boyfriend tried various apps such as Reiboot and TinyUmbrella to get it out of recovery mode first, but had no luck. Therefore I came to the conclusion to click 'Restore to factory settings' and twice it gave me the message 'Error 319'4 - restoration unsuccessful etc etc.. what does this mean? I tried putting it into DFU mode but the pc would still not recognise it. I do not understand what's happened!! I was going to go down to my local EE store to find out but am now thinking they won't be able to do much, and my local Apple store is about 15 miles away - so any help on here would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi AmberX92,
If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode (Error 2006 (Mac) 2009 (Windows)

Hi everyone, my iPhone 5 has just randomly stopped working. It's out of warranty so Apple won't help at all. The screen just wouldn't turn on at all so I opened it up and checked out all the connections and somehow I got the screen on, when plugged in it shows an iTunes logo so I plugged it into my computer and it said it was in recovery mode. I try to restore and I get Error 2006 on my Mac and Error 2009 on my windows computer. I have tried all different ports and all different lightning connectors to no avail. I have also replaced the battery which didn't help.
I'm thinking it is the charging port but I'm not sure. Does it seem like I should replace that?

Phone stuck in recovery mode error code 40 and would not restore

My Iphone 3GS stuck in recovery mode error code 40 and would not restore.I was with AT & T.Please help!

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...

Tried to update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. My only option now is to restore my iPhone and lose media. However, I then tried to restore my iPhone and error 1603 occurred. My iPhone is now not working!?!?!

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.
