IPhone goes into recovery mode every time it dies?

If my phone battery dies it immediately is in recovery mode and I have to wipe the phone to get it back to factory settings. Can i fix this??? It is very annoying and sometimes my phones dies when I have 30-40% battery still so I am not sure if I can even prevent this from happening.

Hello emmahardman,
It sounds like your phone needs to be restored because it goes into Recovery Mode when the battery runs out, and it sometimes turns off when there appears to be plenty of charge left. Assuming you are restoring from a backup when this happens, I would next time set it up as a new device and test to see if it happens again. If so, reset the phone with the following process and test it again:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue still keeps happening, I would next seek service for the iPhone:
iPhone Repair and Service - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

IPad goes into recovery mode every time I power up

Is this normal? What could be wrong?

It is by no means normal. When you say that it goes into recovery mode, do you mean that you have to restore the iPad every time that you turn it on?

HT201210 Iphone 4 goes into recovery mode every time the battery runs out?

Iphone keeps returning to recovery mode when the battery runs out and is charged up again. I have updated the software and it still requires a system restore everytime the battery dies, does anyone have an information to help resolve this issue?

That's what I did. When selected restore, it downloaded and verified the installer, and then threw the error that the phone is in recovery mode instead of proceeding with the restore. I then tell it a second time to restore and it proceeds to restore; but I never get the message that the 4 has successfully unlocked.

Ipod goes into recovery mode every time I plug it in

Just bought a new iPod classic, 160gb. I plugged it in for the first time to sync it with my laptop and get some music on it. The next time I plugged it in, iTunes gave me an error message saying it couldn't read the contents of my iPod, and that it detected an iPod in recovery mode. I had to restore it just to put 5 new songs on it, which took almost 45 minutes. Since then, I've updated the iTunes and iPod software but this is still happening every time I plug it in to my computer.
Are other people having this problem? Is it hardware or software?

Pretty much anyone using an iPod Classic with iTunes 9 or 901 is screwed in a similar manner. Read around these threads and you'll see man. Sorry, no word from Apple yet on what's going on.
Looks like their ''upgrade" to version 9 may actually be damaging hardware, as hard as that seems to believe.

HT201210 Whenever I update my iPhone when update is available, after completing every process it shows an error that iPhone could not be updated and my iPhone goes into recovery mode but when I recover it it still doesn't work and shows the same error. H

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Every single time I update my firmware my iphone goes into recovery mode.

I am simply plugging my iphone in and clicking update.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?
I have had the same problem with my 3G and now my brand new iPhone 4. This is rediculous!!

IPhone 4S goes into recovery mode every night.

Used iTunes to restore once, and drove 2 hours to the Apple Store today to have them do a DFU restore. Still didn't fix it. Not sure what the problem could be. I can typically hold the home and power button to bring it out, but sometimes that does not work. Bought the phone new in December. AT&T is the carrier.

Your Device is still under warranty... did the Store not offer to replace it...

IPhone 3G goes into Recovery Mode after every restore

Every time I restore my iPhone 3G, it goes into recovery mode right after an error-less restore has been completed. Yes, I've tried using tools such as TinyUmbrella and RecBoot and iRecovery. The device was not jailbroken when I tried to update it to 4.2.1 yesterday. They all reboot the phone and just throw it back into recovery. I have no idea what to do. Searching is futile. I thought I might as well do what I almost never do and ask these communities for support.
I hope they don't disappoint.

I had this problem with my wife's iPad when I updated to 7.0.3 via OTA. It was easily fixed for me, and I assume it should work for everyone else.
It appears that sometimes during installation of the OTA update to 7.0.3, it gets stuck in recovery half way through.
You can connect it to iTunes and restore it, which will wipe it, OR you can download TinyUmbrella and kick it out of recovery. Once you do that, the installer should complete normally (it did for me).
1) Download and install TinyUmbrella for your PC/Mac.
2) Make sure iTunes isn't running and connect your device via USB.
3) Open up TinyUmbrella. Your device should show up on the left. Click on it and then choose "exit recovery".
4) Profit.

Iphone 3g randomly goes into recovery mode all the time?

I have an Iphone 3g version 4.3.5 (8L1). It works fine and i've never dropped it or anything like that. But the first time the problem happened i had just got done sending a text, pushed the lock button, and put it in my pocket. Then a few minutes later i pulled it out to check it and it wouldnt turn on. I held the lock button down and the connect to itunes icon came up, but nothing else. No emergency call option or anything. it wouldnt go away. i connected to itunes and it said it was in recovery mode. I tried to restore it but it came up with an error. i left it and tried again later. i restored but some things were erased. then it worked fine again. but later that night it did it again. so i just plugged it into the charger. in the morning i tried turning it back on again and it turned on without the connect to itunes icon. worked fine all day. but it does this every now and then. when i plug it in it goes back to normal after 10-20 mins. its annoying tho and if im not home my fone is stuck like that until i get back. why does it keep randomly going into recovery mode?

1. The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5. Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?

2. "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error." What EXACT error?
3. "i restored but some things were erased" What "things"? Did you get an error again. Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
4. Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

IPhone 4 goes into recovery mode on its own?

I have an iPhone four for Xmas and its working fine it just goes into recovery mode on rs own as luckily it can be restarted without connecting to iTunes, it's just really annoying having to do this every 2 minutes, anyone know what I can do?

Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have you gone through any, if not ALL these steps?

Hi guyz just fixed mine just now, I used an app named iREB please refer to the below link. Make sure youre iphone is plugged in to your USB then launch the app as admin. As soon as the app is running go to the "Recovery Mode Loop Fixer" tab & hit the "Set Auto-Boot True (Fixes 1015 errors / Recovery Loops). It will restart your iPhone in just a moment & get you back to your homescreen.
I hope this will help those whos undergoing this horrifying iPhone problem.
Just additional info.

When trying to restore my Iphone it goes into recovery mode

I recent just upgraded my IPhone 4s to 5s. When I synced it to my computer it transfered eveything from my old phone to the new one which I didn't want. So when I tried to restore it to factory settings it went to recovery mode. I can get it out of recovery mode but it just goes back to way it was. How can I restore it with out going into recovery mode.

we have same problem bro .. i dont know what to do.

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.

No warranty left -_-

I've checked with Apple. They only give 28Days warranty now :'(
Whoever told you that is wrong. The warranty on a repair or replacement iPhone is still 90 days minimum. Quoting from their Service FAQ:
If defects arise as a result of service, Apple will cover the repair for the remaining term of the iPhone's warranty or 90 days after iPhone service, whichever provides longer coverage for you.
Call Apple Support and discuss your problem with them. If they agree that it's a hardware problem, they can arrange for mail-in service.

HT4061 My phone keeps going into recovery mode. I've had rest 5 times now. I was told I need a new phone. Any resolution??

Maybe you should consider that new phone recommendation you got...
Who told you that?
Is the phone jailbroken? Was it hacked to unlock it? Has it been physically damaged? Did you get it wet?
You haven't provided anywhere near enough information.
