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...
im going by this BTW http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US

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.

IOS 8.1.3 get stuck into recovery mode after restoring

AAfter updating my iPhone 5s to the newest iOS it went into revovery mode and everytime I try restoring it it will just get suck into recovery mode

Honestly, If you are stuck in recovery mode. I would visit the nearest apple store and meet genius specialist to get you squared away. They may get you over this hump or simply swap out your device if is a hardware issue. I'm sorry you are faced with this issue.

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.

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:

Iphone stuck in recovery mode wont restore keep getting errors

iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery it will not turn on unless plugged in and in restore mode saying to connect to itunes. when i restore it i get errors 3194, 1604 and 1611, i dont know what did this and im not sure what firmware the iphone is. itunes will recognise it in recovery mode but the computer will not. in dfu mode it will not restore either.

Well, as a start, Recboot hosed the network database on your computer, which could be the problem. Especially if you had used it at some time in the past. Look in /etc/hosts, and if you see any lines containing "gs.apple.com" delete those lines.
From your profile you are also using a version of OS X that is not compatible with iTunes 10, which is required to update iPhones. You need OS X Leopard 10.5.8 as a minimum.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9 for other tips. You could have a bad or dirty connector on the iPhone also. Try cleaning it with a soft, dry toothbrush.

Ipod Touch 2g stuck in recovery mode after restore, no error msgs

Help, please. I have an Ipod Touch 2generation that was my older sons and I wanted to restore it to factory to give to his younger brother. I get the message that is was restored successfully (Windows 7, no error messages or codes from Itunes) but when that message goes away and the ipod shows back up in itunes is still says its in recovery mode. I've tried different usb cables, different usb ports, turning off my anti-virus firewall protection, using a different pc (Windows Vista) and still the same thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring it:

Hi Matt,

iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
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 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.

iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
If nothing above helps, definitely return it. It's under warranty.

Iphone 4 in recovery mode after restore

After buying a new computer and attempting to sync my iPhone 4 to the media library on the new computer, it kept telling me I needed more space on the phone (wrong) so I attempted to restore the phone and erase the memory, so I could start fresh.
However, the phone has now gone to the "connect to iTunes" screen after attempting the restore, windows/iTunes on the computer doesn't recognise the device & all of the advice on apples support pages doesn't work. I don't have a phone for them to call me on now and I'm not "conveniently located" to an apple store so I'm reaching out to you guys.
HELP!

PS - not jailbroken new or old unit.
