IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted to downgrade from iOS5 Beta

Hi,
There was a bug being reported in one of my apps, but I couldn't replicate it.  I tried to downgrade back to 4.3.5 to see if iOS 5 was the reason that I couldn't replicate it,  but now my phone is stuck in Recovery Mode.
I have restored Xcode 4.1, iTunes 10.4.1 to remove iOS5 from my mac.  Now I'm stuck in the cycle: connect me to iTunes screen -> Preparing to restore -> Unknown error code 1604.
Will I get help at an Apple store? Or do I now just have an expensive door stop?

Please use the confidential forums created for this purpose:
iOS 5 beta

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted update.  Will not restore

    I attempted to update my iPhone software to the latest, and then proceded to fail.  Now it will not restore, will not power on, and will not hard reset via the sleep/awake button and other.  I've had this phone less than a week and I'm already having issues. 

    If you are using a Windows based computer to restore the iPhone, it could be the security software or firewall preventing the restore process.

    If nothing above helps, definitely return it. It's under warranty.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed update.

    Hi, I have a bad situation here... My iPhone 5 got stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update to iOS 7.1.1 from 7.0.4 and it failed (error code 6). If this was my iPod touch I would just restore it because all I have is music, but this iPhone has all my sisters graduation photos, important photos, important school documents, contacts, app data, videos from concerts. Etc. I was wondering if I could get the photos off the phone before restoring it, because they are important. I know I should've backed up my photos and made a backup of the phone, but I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if there is any way to get the photos and app data back. The app data doesn't really matter but the photos do. The device was not jailbroken or hacked in any way.
    If you could help, tell me ASAP.

    When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed.  The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.   
    You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet".  This is Apple's technical support forum.  We do know what we're talking about.
    since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them?  This is how the phone is meant to be used.  Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish.  Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update?  As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
    I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson.  BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer?  I'm sure you have important data on your computer.  Hard drives WILL fail.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode after restoring

    Ok, so I was having the "searching..." signal for a long time, and then I decided to restore, after the restoration was done the iphone entered into recovery mode, i tried restoring again many times with no success, itunes keeps giving me an error (-1). The iphone is not jailbroken.

    i really dont know what can cause it... best guess, somehow the iOS is not being saved correctly on the device...

  • HELP!!  iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

    Ok my phone is stuck in recovery mode, Ive already restarted my computer & tried to shut down itunes & start it back up, it gets almost done with the restore verification and then it gives me a 1013 or something
    what to do?!
    Message was edited by: PsychedelicWonders

    Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
    I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
    Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

  • My iPhone is in recovery mode after attempting to update the software

    How do i get my iphone to stop recovery mode, it is connected to itunes and everything. When i take my phone off itunes it restarts and tells me to connect to itunes, then tells me the phone is in 'recovery mode'. Please help me someone.

    same exact problem here, phone won't go out of recovery mode. went to apple store, said to restore it but will lose all of my data. don't have it backed up. read that the restore resets the phone and deletes data however it does not actually 'erase' the data. if i can get the phone restored, how do i get the data too?

  • HT6154 iPhone 5s is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to upgrade to  7.1.1

    I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 5s to 7.1.1 today
    During the process, the phone Screen got on the upgrade progress bar. After an hour I decided to cancel the upgrade by turning off the phone.
    I am not sure if iOS 7.1.1 ever finished installing. After turning it back on I see the recovery icon which won't go away after turning it off and on.
    How do I get out of this recovery mode loop?

    OmarZB,
    it appears the bottom line is that the upgrade failed and left the phone in the recovery loop. As it turns out, because I plugged in and used itunes for the upgrade, a backup was automatically created before the upgrade started. I had know idea until i decided to check under itunes > preferences > devices.
    I resolved my problem by restoring the factory settings and then restoring the backup that was automatically created.
    All is well now after many hours of stressing.

  • IPod touch 4th Generation stuck in recovery mode after attempted update

    I just want to save the stuff on there before I restore it. I know I'll need to restore at some point but is there any way I can back it up first?

    There is no way to backup when the iPod is in recovery mode
    Try:
    - 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 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.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed JB

  • My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

    My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.
