Try a Reboot press & hold menu button & power button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. I never use PCs for software upgrades or downloads I always use wifi had no problems with iOS 8.1 B sydd

Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update

So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!

Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it. And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either. Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

IPhone 5S stuck at recovery mode after corrupt restore

I recently downloaded IOS 8 from my developer account, and i got tired of all the crashes so i decided to restore back to IOS 7.1.1 , and so i downloaded the latest IOS 7 IPSW , entered DFU Mode and i held down option on my mac and clicked "Restore" , chose my IPSW, but halfway through iTunes froze. I waited for about 40 minutes but then i needed to go, so i took it out without a choice.
I came back and it was in Recovery mode,i tried the same steps, but it keeps freezing at the exact same moment.
I tried both of my mac's USB ports, two lightning bolt cables, another Windows PC, nothing seems to work.
The strange thing is, when i try to restore it on my Mac it just freezes in the middle, but when i try to restore it on my PC it just gives me an error.
The error is:" The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be restored.An unknown error occurred. Error number 14".
I have everything updated,i tried to restore when it is in recovery mode,after i downloaded the IPSW from iTunes,tried downloading from multiple sources,nothing seems to work.
Every little help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

You need to discuss this on the developers' forum. Did you not read the NDA you signed?

HT1267 my iphone 3gs wont come out of recovery mode and wont restore

I can't get my iphone out of recovery mode and it wont restore. What do I do?

Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds. Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button. Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds. Release the home button and you should be able to restore.

HT4061 IOS6.1 corrupted during install. Ipad now wont boot, stuck in recovery mode. Wont restore to factory settings, get error 3194. HELP !!

Hi.
I have just tried to update Ipad to IOS6.1, but it failed during install. The pad now seems to be stuck in recovery mode.
I have tried to restore to factory settings but I get a error code 3194
During attempted restore the restore screen does not show the Ipad name, serial number or software version number.
Any suggestions, I think it may need to be sent away to be repaired, and i fear this will be very expensive!!!

Tried Updating Ipad Mini But Now Stuck In Recovery Mode & Won't Restore

I tried updating my Ipad mini to the newest IOS and it said it could take several hours. So I left it updating overnight. When I woke up it was in recovery mode and said I had to restore it, but when I tried restoring it a window pops up saying : The Ipad could not be restored. An unknown error occured. (3194)
Please help I don't know what to do now.

Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

Black Screen, unable to come out of recovery mode, will not restore. Uhh...

Okay. So my phone has a completely black screen, and will not turn on or off. When I connect it to iTunes, it says it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, and it must be restored. I attempt to restore it, and it goes through the entire restoration process (all the while with a totally black screen), and a window pops up that says that it was successfully restored, and to leave it plugged in, this message will close in 3,2,1.... and as soon as the window disappears, the process starts all over, with iTunes exclaiming that it noticed an iPhone in recovery mode, would I like to restore it?
I've tried basically everything there is to try, about eighteen thousand times a piece. This is really the worst possible time for my phone to break down, as I'm in the middle of a really important internship (which necessitates use of my phone), and I can't really get to an apple store.
HELLLLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEE.

Did you check your security software settings, to allow iTunes to contact Apple during the process?

Continuously in recovery mode, after several restores, drive letter changes

My ipod/itunes usage has been acting very odd for the last week. iTunes stopped being able to add songs to the ipod a couple days ago, then it stopped recognizing the ipod and itunes (newest version, 7.0.1.8) would crash. So I uninstalled itunes, all my previous ipod software, hoping to start from scratch. Downloaded itunes again, rebooted Windows (XP), installed itunes, hooked up the ipod, same problem.
So I restored my ipod, and afterwards I got this message: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." So I restored it again, and the same message appeared. This cycle happened a few times before I went online to find a solution.
In the support pages, I saw that if this happens, I should change the drive letter that Windows assigns the ipod (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499#changedrive), so I did that to change the ipod from the E drive to the G drive. No difference, itunes still didn't like it. I restore it again, and I get the same message, about the ipod being in recovery mode and that i should restore it. So I tried to change the drive letter another time. Same thing. No change.
What do I do now?
5th gen ipod with video Windows XP

I connected my 30 gig, 5th gen. iPod to my computer,
and it recognized it. I clicked on 'check for
update', of which there was one, ironically described
as "bug fixes". After the update, my iPod restarted
itself and is now in recovery mode. However, when I
look under 'My Computer', it still recognizes my iPod
by the name I gave it, and all of my photos are still
intact and viewable in this mode. I have tried
changing the drive letter and reinstalling iTunes,
but both my iPod and iTunes are still giving me the
recovery mode message.
5th Generation iPod with Video, 30GB
Windows XP Pro
Funny you should say that, and i'm so glad that i looked in here, as i first thought that it was something that i had done wrong, but now i am starting to wonder.
I have a similar problem with the 30gb ipod, i loaded everything ok onto my computer, even got to put some music on my ipod!
the next day i decided to re-arrange some tracks and remove some music that i no longer listen to. at this point I also recieved the update called "bug fixes" and since then the actual ipod says to connect to my computer and use itunes to restore, I have done this, and itunes goes through the process of restoring, says it has finished, and as soon as the ipod icon re-appears, it says that my ipod is in recovery mode and i need to restore.
I have done this now about 20 times, and i have tried various procedures that have been suggested on the web page, which includes removing and re-installing itunes, assign a new drive letter to the ipod, reinstalling the drivers.
I have tried everything that i can find with any relevance, but as i am not an IT technician, i dont want to keep trying things that i don't really understand.
Please help, as I want to listen to my music on this expensive music player, like i should be able to!
thanks in advance

IPhone 3G goes into Recovery Mode after every restore

Every time I restore my iPhone 3G, it goes into recovery mode right after an error-less restore has been completed. Yes, I've tried using tools such as TinyUmbrella and RecBoot and iRecovery. The device was not jailbroken when I tried to update it to 4.2.1 yesterday. They all reboot the phone and just throw it back into recovery. I have no idea what to do. Searching is futile. I thought I might as well do what I almost never do and ask these communities for support.
I hope they don't disappoint.

I had this problem with my wife's iPad when I updated to 7.0.3 via OTA. It was easily fixed for me, and I assume it should work for everyone else.
It appears that sometimes during installation of the OTA update to 7.0.3, it gets stuck in recovery half way through.
You can connect it to iTunes and restore it, which will wipe it, OR you can download TinyUmbrella and kick it out of recovery. Once you do that, the installer should complete normally (it did for me).
1) Download and install TinyUmbrella for your PC/Mac.
2) Make sure iTunes isn't running and connect your device via USB.
3) Open up TinyUmbrella. Your device should show up on the left. Click on it and then choose "exit recovery".
4) Profit.

IPhone 4s stuck in recovery mode after failed restore, and won't connect to iTunes

I tried restoring my iPhone 4s with iTunes. I download the latest firmware from apple's website, and when I tried to restore my iphone with it on itunes, it gave me an error message and put it in recovery mode. I tried to restore again, but it will not connect to itunes.I've tried turning to DFU mode and other things, but it still won't show up on itunes as a phone in recovery mode, or anything. Is it bricked, or can I still fix it?

What was the exact error message, including any numbers? Was this phone ever jailbroken?

Iphone keeps returning to recovery mode after successful restore...

Alrighty... my iphone 4 decided to randomly shut off during normal operation today. When trying to turn it back on, it would try to boot, shut off, try to boot again, shut off. Then randomly after trying to charge it and turn it on a few more times, it went into recovery mode with the connect to itunes pic. itunes claimed it needed to be restored. Unable to get it into dmu mode, so none of the nifty little programs other's recommend worked for it. It randomly turned on long enough for me to save my contacts and pics and then shut itself off. I then went ahead with the restore. It took a few tries because the phone would power off and disconnect from itunes, but I finally managed system restore... only to have it boot up in recovery mode again. Tiny Umbrella and all those other programs cant force it out of recovey mode either. What to do...?

IPad 2 says it's in 'recovery mode' after latest update??

iTunes wants to restore my iPad to factory settings after trying to do an update, I don't want to lose everything on it, please help?

If you do enough research, you will find that it has happened with every iOS update going back as far as iOS 5 and probably even earlier. I cannot explain why it happens. And this type of thing does not just happen with with iOS devices and iOS updates. Any software downloaded from the internet can go bad and cause problems. I'm not that well versed enough to explain the technicalities of it, but I know that it happens. An interruption in the download, anti virus software, etc., can cause problems when you download and install software.
The only thing that I can tell you for sure, is that you have to restore the device now. There is no hope to getting working otherwise. FWIW, I NEVER update without backing up first, and I don't go more than two or three days without backing up period. I also archive backups in iTunes so I have a dozen or so backups at my disposal at any given time.
