IPhone stuck in Recovery, keeps failing on error (9)

Suddenly my iPhone 4S rebooted and im forced to do a full Recovery update with iTunes. But every Time i try to update it fails with an error (9). The Firmware before was 6.0.1 and the Firmware i'm trying to recover to is 6.0.1. Tried different PC, Mac and so on.
The progessbar on the iPhone gets every time up to 3/4 progress and then the iPhone fades out and restarts.
Tried aout 20 Times now. O_o
Help?

    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.
    Hope this information helps ...

  • Iphone 5 stuck in recovery mode.  Unknown error 9 when trying to upgrade to ios7.

    My phone is stuck in recovery mode. Says error number 9 when trying to dl ios7,

    I had the same problem. After itunes extracted the new firmware, the apple logo would come on on my phone and then itunes would give me the unknown error (9). I tried everything I could think of to get ios 7 to download onto my phone but it kept going in a loop. What finally worked for me was after the firmware finished extracting on itunes and the apple logo appeared on my phone, I pressed the home button a few times. After that ios 7 started to load onto my phone. I don't know if it will work all the time, but it worked for me. Hope this works for you.

  • IPad not recognized by iTunes, recovery keeps failing.

    I have not yet seen a real suggestion as to troubleshooting steps for this issue on these discussions.
    The iPad is not recognized by any MB Pro except in recovery mode. I have tried different cables and different ports on different laptops. iPods are recognized. iPad works normally otherwise. Recovery keeps failing. After sitting in recovery mode for a few minutes, the iPad either shuts off or goes back to normal operating mode.
    iPad recognized sometimes by iPhoto.
    I've tried all the stupid suggestions support had; erase and reinstall, remove iTunes and all files,
    reinstall. (Dumb because the issue occurs on all MB Pros)
    No one has had any answers on this issue on any posts on discussions.
    iPad phone support keeps transferring me to MB Pro support (who's only TS answer to any problem is erase and install) who transfer me back to iPad who only know recovery and "I've never seen this problem before" or "it should work"
    So, what is next? Wait and see if Microsoft comes up with a working product?

    On my iMac-22" , I encountered the same problem with a 3G iPad/ 64 GB .
    Tried iPad-reboot , and resetting prefs. etc., other cables ,and iPhone & iPods were recognize but iPad was not.
    Tried re-installing iTunes , but after connecting - no Pad.
    Did a reset and the connection-symbol didn't show on th IPad screen... instead
    it went straight to black , or operarting /Home screen .
    I had the Pad a week, and only sync-ed it once before ( though I did
    break off an automatic upload of my entire iTunes Library , changing it to manual picking ,but transferred fine on to the Pad ).
    Good to read similar (or same?) problem ; indeed :
    not many Forum-subjects on this yet.
    I'll update and answer on here after resolving.
    thanks

  • 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.

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • HP Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF9

    Hello
    I used the HP recovery manager to create a backup of my exisiting laptop onto an external hard drive because I selected the 'minimized image recovery option'. The laptop finished and now I am trying to restore the files. But when it gets to 96% is stops and I get:
    HP Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF9
    I click next and I am back to square one. I have tried many times. I really need these files (~40GB) they were very important to me. 
    Please help.

    UPDATE:
    I have resolved this.
    After looking on my computer I have noticed that despite the error message popping up at 99%, the files are indeed there in their own folder called "System Recovery Files".
    To access the folder I used this video:
