Jailbroken iPad2 stuck in recovery mode.

My iPad 2 has been jailbroken twice. The first time it was jailbroken i had no idea and i updated the ipad and it got deleted. jailbreak was put back on my ipad and it hasnt been updated since. Lastnight my niece decided she wanted to update it for us. She did the update without plugging into iTunes. After the update finished it rebooted, but it showed i needed to connect to itunes. i connected to itunes and it said the ipad is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. i cant restore it because none of my files are backed up.i need it out of recovery mode so i can back up the ipad and then restore it. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!

You can make the choice to have a non functioning iPad and keep all of your files - which won't do you any good because the device doesn't work - or you can bite the bullet and restore the iPad and have a functioning device again - of course without any of your files.
What makes more sense - having all of your files on a device that you can't work with or retrieve your files from - or have a device that works like it should? Seems like a no brainer to me.

    Hi aaaaherman,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPad 2 is in recovery mode and you’re running into an issue restoring it.
    Take a look at the article linked below which provides a lot of great information about recovery mode, including details about the restore process and what to do if the device isn’t recognized by iTunes.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    So long,

    Try these steps. If it doesn't work the first time, try a second time.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off. (If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.)
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. (Note: If you see the screen that shows you are out of battery, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.)
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode..."
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Hope this helps!

  • My iPad2 stuck in recovery mode

    My iPad2 always give me error when I tried to restored and update from iOS6 to iOS7 and now it stuck in Recovery Mode.
    I've tried so many ways
    - change computer (tried both MAC and Wins)
    - change USB cable and USB port
    - download FW via iTunes (It always say software corrupted during download)
    - download FW manually and select FW to restore
    - restore in DFU mode

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 5 very closely.

  • Jailbroken iPod stuck in recovery mode iTunes and PC won't recognize

    Hello,
    First of all, I bought my iPod Touch 8GB 2G (modelnumber is A1288,so according to Apple it's 2G) second hand. Second, I'm really a noob! I don't know anything bout iPods, so please explain everything extensively. I bought the iPod for my little brother, and he decided to jailbreak it. Unfortunately, I didn't know that, so when I tried to erase all data from the iPod at once, it got stuck in recovery mode (with the usb cable and itunes logo). iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod, the PC (win7, 64-bit) doesn't recognize the iPod either (it reports: 'Windows doesn't recognize the USB device'). DFU mode doesn't do anything. The device is called 'Unknown Device' in Device Manager. I tried to manually update the driver of the iPod with C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver but it failed (Code 10. Device doesn't start). De failed attempt only resulted in the change of the name from 'Unknow Device' (with a yellow exclamenation mark) into 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver'. But when I connect the iPod to another computer it's back to 'Unknown Device' again and gets Code 43 in Device Manager. What can I do?
    With kind regards,
    Rosa (from the Netherlands)
    Problems:
    Jailbreak (don't want it)
    Stuck in recovery mode (usb cable and iTunes logo)
    iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod
    Windows doesn't recognize the device
    Unknown Device' at Device Manager
    Can't update the driver via Device Manager (Code 10. Device doesn't start. And on another laptop Code 43)

    Sometimes jailbreaking bricks the device.

  • Ipad2 stuck in recovery mode following upgrade attempt

    Hello,
    I tried to upgrade my iPad (after endless prompts from Apple) but it fails near the end, and is now stuck in what I guess is "recovery mode".  I see a symbol of a plug and the red iTunes icon.  I do not want to restore the whole iPad - I have no idea whether my things are backed up on iCloud - because that usually gets some sort of error message too.  How can I just get the thing to unfreeze and go back to the operating system?
    Many thanks,
    Patricia

    Yes, there is a way to get out of Recovery Mode. This link is to an Apple Support page that describes the steps to take to get your iPad working again.
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Once the iPad has been Recovered you can restore your data from a recent backup if you have one. If you don't periodically backup your iPad this is a good lesson into why you should. All computer and computer like devices can experience problems where data loss occurs.
    If you do not have a backup, you can recover all purchased or downloaded apps and music without paying for them again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to download the stuff originally.

  • My iPhone 3Gs is stuck in Recovery Mode. My phone has never been jailbroken. What can I do to get it out of the Recovery Mode loop?

    My iPhone 3Gs went into Recovery Mode yesterday when I got home. When I plug it into my computer iTunes opens and gives me this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I click the "Restore iPhone" button and wait while iTunes reinstalls the software on the iPhone. As soon as the install is done, I get the same message again "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I'm stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. How do I get out?
    This iPhone has never been jailbroken. After a litte research on line I saw some people got stuck in Recovery Mode after a jailbreak, but this is not the case here. Please help.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode - not jailbroken.

    Please help!
    I have an iphone 4 and i dropped it a few weeks ago and the screen cracked.
    It was working fine other than the obvious crack.
    Then the other day it turned off out of nowhere and wont turn back on.
    It seems to be stuck in recovery mode as when i attach it to the usb it only shows the apple sign and connect to itunes sign.
    When I then try to restore it it says iphone cannot be restored and says iphone cannot be restored unknown error occured (21) / (23).
    My iphone is not jailbroken.
    I am using windows 7.
    Anyone with who has any advice it would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    Apple doesn't fix phones they replace them.
    The iPhone warranty is NOT international.  You need to return the phone to the country in which it originated (the EU is considered ONE country for warranty purposes)

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and can't update and restore

    Hi everyone,
    I need a little advice.
    I was updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 yesterday and during the installation/updating process something went wrong (I have no idea what!) But now it is stuck in recovery mode. I have tried and failed to get it out of recovery mode. So I decided, I'll just take the loss and restore it, losing whatever I haven't backed up.
    However, when updating and restoring my device I get the some error message each time: Can't restore iphone: error 3194.
    I've tried updating iTunes, even trying using iTunes on my other computer, no luck.
    So I decided to book a genius bar appointment.
    Will they be fit to fix it? Also if not fixable can I get a replacement phone even though it's out of warrenty? And what help or charges occur when out of warrenty?
    I would really appriciate any responces!
    Thank you!

    If that Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
