Iphone in recovery loop after updating software

After updating Iphone software, my Iphone stays in recovery mode. I have already restored twice... still: iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.

There is a file on your HD, it's location is /etc/hosts. It contains a list of exceptions to internet address lookups. Occasionally incorrect information gets into it.  The contents on a Mac should look like this:
==================
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1          localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0          localhost
==================
If there is anything else in it you can have problems reaching certain sites, like Apple's activation site gs.apple.com.
You can see what is in it by running Terminal and typing:
   cat   /etc/hosts

    1. Turn off device
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to device
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected the device in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore device
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your device
    Here's a link that discusses recover mode:  http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/Iphone-Recovery-Mode.htm

  • IPod 5 stuck in recovery loop after updating to iOS 8

    I own a 5th Generation 32GB iPod Touch. The other day, I tried to update it to iOS 8. Shortly after the installation process began, it went into recovery mode. I believe it's in a recovery loop because I tried using tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode, and the screen went black, the Apple logo came up like it was trying to boot up, but instead went right back into recovery mode. Does anyone know any way I can fix this?
    Another note, if I can get it out of the loop, I believe I can get it out of recovery mode. So even if you only know how to get it out of the loop, that info would be very appreciated. Thank you.
    EDIT: I do have a backup on iCloud, but it's from about nine months ago. I'd really like to be able to save all those photos and videos I've taken since then. I can get my apps back easily, but there's a lot of data that won't be as easy to get back.

    Try the following. I expect you will have to let the battery fully drain.                                              
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 5s is stuck in recovery loop after update to IOS8.1

    Can anyone help me, my iPhone 5s keeps saying my phone needs to go into recovery mode, though iTunes just says i need to connect it, when i plug it in it docent recognise it anyway. The download starts however this takes 2 hours, during this time i get a message saying my phone needs to go into recovery mode!!
    Anyone have a work around????

    I have the same problem!
    My iphone 5s screen turned blue (how ironic) when it was updating to 8.0.
    had to restore and download latest update, and screen turned blue a few more times until the restore worked.
    Updated to 8.0.1, and then the screen turned blue when i tried to install garageband.
    And now it won't restore at all through itunes, probably because apple pulled back the update.
    I just keep getting error 9 message (my router is fine, and my connection to itunes store is fine, no proxies either)
    Fix this apple! starting to really miss steve jobs..!

  • How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

    How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

    In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
    Install data recovery app on your computer
    connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
    display scanning result
    choose local folder to store recovered items
    You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud.  More details can be found out here.

  • HT201210 how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?

    how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?
    please help..

    Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.

    Iphone 4 factory unlocked turned to locked after updating software from 4.3 to 4.3.3, any help?

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck at recovery mode while updating software 4.3.3

    my iphone 3gs is stuck at recovery mode while updating software 4.3.3 and even itunes is not responding . and i m using newest software of itunes on mac. please help.

    If you followed all of the steps within that article then it's almost always a hardware issue. Reason being is that if you attempted restoring the iPhone from another computer (as the article informs you to), and you are still stuck in recovery mode, it proves that it is not a problem with the iTunes installation on your computer.

  • Have a error code 4013. iphone 4s wont restore after update.

    my iphone will not restore after update. it is stuck in recovery mode. i get error code 4013 everytime a try to restore but i cant find anything on error code 4013.

    DFU mode is also good as stated above, however the instructions for DFU mode are below (please note this is not the same as recovery mode) -
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Home button and Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
    Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present, device screen should remain black.
    Error 4013 is due to security software issues. Uninstall all security software completely, try again, if the issue persists I would either recommend another computer or calling AppleCare tech support at 1-800-APL-CARE (for US customers).
    Note- this is even if your device worked fine prior to iOS 7 update with your security software. The change in the operating system on the device can cause compatibility issues with these other programs.
    I hope this helps it worked for me!
