ITouch stuck in recovery mode after iTunes and firmware upgrades

my iTouch has hung in recovery mode and will not restore after I updated to iTunes 7.7.1.11 and tried to update the firmware suggested on iTunes Summary screen after launching the new iTunes. The firmware I was at was 1.1.4 and iTunes was offering the update to 1.1.5. Now the iTouch is stuck.
i have tried the restore function, removed/reinstalled all Apple software, the iTouch resetting procedure (hold power & home buttons together), NOTHING WORKS.
HELP
Thanks,
nitefisher

I am having problems similar to this. After the ITUNES 7.7.1 upgrade and the ITOUCH 2.0.1 upgrade, ITUNES thinks the ITOUCH is is recovery mode and it must be restored. If you use the ITOUCH it works fine. I have recovered at least 10 times over the last 2 days. The ITUNES syncs sometimes and says restore is necessary sometimes. Various other errors pop up too. "The Ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(6)" is just one of the errors. I wish I could back out the software because the hardware is fine. I suspect bugs in ITUNES. It's bad enough you have to pay for the ITOUCH upgrades but they have errors in them too. I've read numerous variations of this in the last 7 days with no clear fixes. Even the problems I am having are not consistant. If anyone has a clue let me know. Thanks.

  • IPod Touch 4g stuck in recovery mode after iso 5.0 upgrade attempt

    Sorry that I'm late to the party and too stupid not to know better when updating my ipod touch just days after the update was released, when will I learn.
    I have tried nearly everything I've seen posted in this community and others ... unpluging all usb, holding down sleep and home, re-installing itunes 10.5 ... you name it.
    I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere, but rather people yelling at other people for not being able to help and badmouthing eachother because they are ****** off at Apple.
    Is there any updated news on what the issue is with error 1604 or why Idevices are getting stuck in recovery mode?
    Are the servers still swamped and I just can't get through?
    Next time I will wait about 3 months before upgrading a new operating system (but then, I think I said that the last time I did this.)
    Thanks for any help.

    Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below. You can kick it out of Recovery Mode using RecBoot.

  • Help! ipad stuck in recovery mode after itunes error 6

    so I was gonna update my ipad 3 from 6.1.2 I think, to 7.0.4 but I got the error 6 in itunes. now my ipad is showing the connect to itunes symbol and itunes wants to restore my ipad, which I wouldn't wanna if there was any chance to get it out of that frickin mode. I've tried anything I could find on the internet, like several tools such as tiny umbrella, redsn0w, ireb (which said my device wasn't supported cause of the A5) etc. but after rebooting the connect to itunes comes on again.
    so if there is any method left that might work for me, pleeeease help me

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change?

    my iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change, I decided to change my faulty iphone 5 battery as i was out of warrenty, I managed to chance the battery with no problems (I Think), when i put the phone back together and tried to power on with the power button, nothing happened.!  i connected to itunes and it powered on, displaying the connect to itunes screen (recovery mode) all was going well, the phone was restoring, the image of the phone restoring and loading up was displayed on the screen, when it finished it restarted but to show the connect to itunes screen again, it is stuck in the recovery loop. i tried the steps with holding the power and home button etc, none worked.! now when i try to restore, it extracts software but then, ' the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (3194)' comes up, any ideas out there???? and Happy Christmas to Everyone ,

    Hello Andyoneill9,
    It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
    Resolution
    Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
    Check your "hosts" file
    After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
    If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
    In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
    Open Terminal.
    Enter this command and then press Return:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
    Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
    Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
    Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
    Restart your computer.
    Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
    This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Unfortunately, if you are in Recovery Mode then all your data is already gone.

    Hello soccerlime,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The error code "9006" in iTunes when updating or restoring your device indicates that access to the iTunes update servers is being blocked.  Please take a look at the information below to help resolve this error.
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

  • Ipad stuck in recovery mode after accidentally unplugging it while updating

    ipad stuck in recovery mode after accidentally unplugging it while updating to ios 4.2 . and when trying to restore it back it wont restore, restroing error code is 6 what to do ?

    I'm not sure what you can do at this point.  If I had been in your shoes, I would have kept the pics in the camera's SD cards until my return home.
    I'm really reluctant to suggest this but, at this point, you probably can't lose.  Do a "Restore."  Be forewarned that it could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    Edit...
    I just took a peek at the TinyUmbrella FAQs.  Your device has been jailbroke and that's likely the reason why the problem occurred to begin with.  Contact the jailbreaker for assistance.  Neither Apple nor anyone on the forum can help you as we do not know the characteristics of your device.

  • Ipod stuck in recovery mode after

    My iPod touch (4th gen) is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update it to iOS5. I was able to download it, but when it would try to instal it would fail and get a system error. So now it is stuck in recovery mode and  when I try to restore it, I get the error 1611. How can I fix it to get it working again? Im on windows 7, and have the newest version of itunes. Please help, thanks!

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.
