Iphone keeps returning to recovery mode after successful restore...

Alrighty... my iphone 4 decided to randomly shut off during normal operation today. When trying to turn it back on, it would try to boot, shut off, try to boot again, shut off. Then randomly after trying to charge it and turn it on a few more times, it went into recovery mode with the connect to itunes pic. itunes claimed it needed to be restored. Unable to get it into dmu mode, so none of the nifty little programs other's recommend worked for it. It randomly turned on long enough for me to save my contacts and pics and then shut itself off. I then went ahead with the restore. It took a few tries because the phone would power off and disconnect from itunes, but I finally managed system restore... only to have it boot up in recovery mode again. Tiny Umbrella and all those other programs cant force it out of recovey mode either. What to do...?

You need to discuss this on the developers' forum. Did you not read the NDA you signed?

  • IPhone 5S stuck at recovery mode after corrupt restore

    I recently downloaded IOS 8 from my developer account, and i got tired of all the crashes so i decided to restore back to IOS 7.1.1 , and so i downloaded the latest IOS 7 IPSW , entered DFU Mode and i held down option on my mac and clicked "Restore" , chose my IPSW, but halfway through iTunes froze. I waited for about 40 minutes but then i needed to go, so i took it out without a choice.
    I came back and it was in Recovery mode,i tried the same steps, but it keeps freezing at the exact same moment.
    I tried both of my mac's USB ports, two lightning bolt cables, another Windows PC, nothing seems to work.
    The strange thing is, when i try to restore it on my Mac it just freezes in the middle, but when i try to restore it on my PC it just gives me an error.
    The error is:" The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be restored.An unknown error occurred. Error number 14".
    I have everything updated,i tried to restore when it is in recovery mode,after i downloaded the IPSW from iTunes,tried downloading from multiple sources,nothing seems to work.
    Every little help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • 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 4s stuck in recovery mode after failed restore, and won't connect to iTunes

    I tried restoring my iPhone 4s with iTunes. I download the latest firmware from apple's website, and when I tried to restore my iphone with it on itunes, it gave me an error message and put it in recovery mode. I tried to restore again, but it will not connect to itunes.I've tried turning to DFU mode and other things, but it still won't show up on itunes as a phone in recovery mode, or anything. Is it bricked, or can I still fix it?

    What was the exact error message, including any numbers?  Was this phone ever jailbroken?

  • My iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after updating to ios5.1

    i got my iphone 4 updated to ios 5 months ago and it was successful. However, i was updating my software to ios 5.1 using the phone itself and it went into recovery mode after that. The moment before updating it was fine and now it stuck in recovery mode, showing the itunes logo and usb cable.
    I connected my phone to the itunes on my laptop and it shows that my iphone is in recovery mode and must be restored.
    I've tried restoring it but after the restoration cycle was done, it pop up a window saying there's an error (1) occuring and my iphone was unable to be restored.
    I've tried it again and again for hours from yesterday evening until now but it's still the same. Anyone can help? I got no more phone to use at the moment.

    download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

  • IPhone 5S trapped in recovery mode after mistake made in update process.

    My iPhone 5S is trapped in recovery mode after I option-clicked "update" and selected the iOS 7.1 beta build 11D5099e ipsw, when I needed to option click "restore" before doing so. I'm really getting desperate because I have no backups of my iPhone anywhere (not icloud or computer), and cannot boot out of reecovery mode. I can put the device into DFU mode, but it makes no difference. Attempting to update the iphone to ios 7.1 from recovery mode produces error #17. Attempting to update the iphone to 7.1 from DFU mode produces error #11. Both errors are not mentioned in apple's updating and restoring support page. Before I try just clicking "restore", is there anything else that I can do? Restoring the phone is NOT an option, as I have a ton of data on it.
    Please don't just say "no", because that's not very helpful. If there's truly nothing I can do, and I mean NOTHING, because I am fairly tech savy and can perform pracically any solution you give me, then I will accept that and just restore the phone.
    But if there is ANYTHING I can do, tell me...
    Please...
    TL; DR: My iPhone 5S is trapped in recovery mode and I refuse to restore it unless it is my only option. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

    Actually, I just fixed it with tinyumbrella. I thought I had already tried it when I posted this, but I guess not.

  • Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after update

    Hello..
    After updating my iphone 4s, my iphone got stuck in recovery mode. I don't really care what happens to my contacts, old texts, or apps.. All I want are my pictures. Anyone have any idea on how I can get them back? I have over 1,200 pictures & I none of them can be found on my iCloud. Someone help me save my photos!!

    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    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.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
    Restore from Backup

  • IPhone 3G Stuck in Recovery Mode After Trying to Update to 3.1.3

    I have read through the similar issues posted on here and there have been no definitive answers.
    My dad hadn't updated his iPhone 3G to 3.1.3 yet, so we connected it today and chose to update. It downloaded the update, went through the install on the phone, then went into recovery mode and iTunes says it detected phone in recovery mode you must restore. I tried to restore and it just does the same.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, deleted and re-downloaded 3.1.3.
    My dad's computer is Vista 32 that we are doing this on.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Awesome, thanks!! I actually read on another forum about doing that on an XP computer because Vista and 7 drivers get screwed up for the iPhone, so I just got done doing it on an XP computer and it WORKED!!!!
    Thanks for the reply!

  • 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:

  • My iphone 4s is in recovery mode after updating and keeps getting error 4005

    Hi there,
    I recently tried updating to iOS 7.1 using iTunes. Don't know what went wrong but I got an error (quickly clicked it away so don't know what the first error was) and it is now in recovery mode. Whenever I try to recover it with iTunes it stick with "waiting for iPhone" and after a couple of minutes it gives error 4005.
    I have tried several USB cables, computers and ports. Even switched the docking port and battery from another 4s, but with no positive results.
    Is there anything else I can try? Switching out certain hardware to figure out which is faulty??
    I am tomorrow going to try the same thing on a iMac. Anything else?

    Hi Rajarani,
    Thanks for thinking with me. I have tried all of those steps except for the direct internet connection (im on wifi with my pc and laptop) but iTunes uses a IPSW downloaded before so internet is only necessary for validating?
    I have also tried it in DFU mode, but once it is preparing iphone for recovery it reboots to recovery mode.
    Thanks anyway!

  • 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.

    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
