Iphone stuck in Recovery Mode with error 9

I tried to update my 3G to IOS 4 and I got error 9 when I try to restore it in DFU mode, since that when I try Recboot, I get out of the Recovery Mode but I see the apple, then white flash, and apple again..over and over..
Could you help me please ???

I encountered the same "Unknown" error during my update to 1.1.3.
The iPhone does not have enough free space to perform the update.
For those encountering this error during a sync that is not related to an update, you'll have to check and see if your issue is related to free space.
For me, the solution was:
1) Choose to NOT sync content on the Music, Photos, Podcasts, and Video tabs. Click Apply.
2) The iPhone should sync to a mostly empty state
3) Click the Update button on the Summary tab
4) At the conclusion of the update, re-select content on the Music, Photos, Podcasts, and Video tabs. Click Sync.

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • 4s stuck in recovery mode with error 29

    The problems started when I changed the battery, now phone is stuck in recovery mode with an error code 29. Ive turned the firewall off and anti virus on my norton security, switched the computer on and off and tried to restore the phone about 6 times now. Has anyone any other ideas please?

    That's a hardware problem, most likely cause when you broke something in the process of changing the battery.

    Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple won't touch that one now that you've opened it.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode with error -1

    Can somene please help. My iPhone has been stuck like this for 3 weeks now, and I'm starting to get really fed up with not having a phone.

  • First gen ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 28

    I have a first generation ipad that is stuck in recovery mode (just shows the itunes logo all the time).  I have tried putting it in dfu mode and restoring it from itunes.  It gets to the point where the computer reboots the ipad and says that it is beginning the restore, but the progress bar never fills up on the ipad and I get an error 28.  It charges and docks fine.  The battery holds a charge for a long time.  The water indicator is still white.  I don't see any visible damage anywhere on the ipad.
    I have checked the firewalls on my computer and tested the cable.  Both are fine.  I have also tried using another computer, but I get the same results.
    Could it be a bad dock connector even though it charges and is recognized successfully by itunes?  One of the support forums said that error 28 was a hardware issue, but is there any way to tell what is bad without having to take it in to Apple?  It would cost too much to have it serviced, with it being a first generation, so I was hoping that someone out there had some ideas that could help me save it and not have to sell it for parts.

    A simple search of the forum for "error 28" yields may results, one being...
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Brand new ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 21

    Brand new ipad just out of box starting setting up and now its stuck in recovery mode and keeps giving error 21 - tried turning off firewalls as suggested and another PC... nothing working... is it a complete turkey or is it me?

    Sorry I can't help with your issue. Just wanted to point out that it's not a good idea creating multiple posts on the same topic as it only serves to cause confusion, duplicate answers and divides responses between threads.

  • IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

    I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
    (With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

    OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw  file in directly from the
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
    folder.
    No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

    My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

    What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

  • 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.

    Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
