HT201263 My IPhone 4 won't restore from recovery mode, it comes up with corrupted file message and I have to start again but it still doesn't work. Tried this about 10 times. Please help?

My I phone 4 has put itself into recovery mode and I cannot now restore it. I have plugged it into I Tunes about 10 times and every time it starts to restore then comes up with the message Corrupted file start again. Please help.

Try restoring as a new device first.

My ipad 2 was stuck in recovery mode. i tried to connect it to itunes and restore but after downloading the file and extracting the software there is a pop up message that says "the device is full.

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

IPad stuck on loading screen, won't move to recovery mode.

I tried to restore my iPad but it got stuck on the loading screen and it didn't change for 6 hours. I tried restarting it a couple of times - it showed me the normal apple logo but then it went back to the loading screen. The computer doesn't respond to the iPad and i hadn't been able to put in on recovery mode.
How do i turn my iPad back on? I don't mind stuff being deleted.

Hi zafr1212,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below will provide the steps to put your iPad into recovery mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.

I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode. When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).

There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

Updated Ipad now in recovery mode - why? If I restore to factory settings will I loose all my apps

I updated my Ipad and it wont turn on - it's now in recovery mode - why is this? If I do reset it to factory settings will I loose all my apps?

Something went wrong with the update and your iPad can not boot.
Yes, doing the required restore wipes all data.
Restore from your backup.

My 1st generation iPad won't restore

My first gen ipad won't restore. It won't turn on, it won't turn off, it won't show the apple logo when I try to put it in DFU mode, and it won't show the 'connect to itunes' symbol. Basically it won't do anything that all the trouble shooting tips suggest!
When I plug it into the mains via it's charging dock, it flashes the apple logo every 10 or 15 seconds, but when I plug it into the mac it only manages to flash very weakly every 5 seconds or so.
After many attempts, I managed to get itunes to recognise that there was 'an ipad in recovery mode' but every time I tried to restore it, I got the message 'unknown error 1602' and when I looked this up, it basically said it was the same as about 10 other error codes and that all I needed to do was change the USB port and/or restart itunes and/or the mac and it would all be good.
I did all of these things several times and in various permutations but to no avail.
I'm not 100% sure of the operating system on the ipad (and of course I can't check at the minute,) but I'm sure it's iOS 5. something! (I did update regularly, or when prompted by the system, but haven't done it in a while because my wife uses it now.)
My itunes is up to date - Version 11.0.1
I know it's a long-shot but can anyone help?
Thanks

I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

Refurbished ipad won't restore

refurbished ipad won't restore or start up. Only have had it for 2 weeks.

If the above fails you can download a free programme called Recboot. Follow the simple instructions and it will kick you ipad out of the recovery mode and bring it back to normal. I jave just used it myself as mine was stuck in recovery mode due to a corrupt back up file.

HT201263 iPad won't restore, shows apple logo, won't restart. Battery is low but won't recharge. Is it a sudden loss of battery function?

If you were restoring to a backup or resetting back to factory defaults, then have you tried recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 ?

HT201442 My iPad won't restore via iTunes, now it won't even turn on!!

I've followed their support but it's still not worked.
Since I bought the iPad I've never plugged it into my laptop (Windows 7), until this morning when I wanted to put some photos onto there. So when I plugged it in it did a stupid set-up thing I couldn't "skip" because it thought it was a new iPad. It needed an update so I clicked update - it wouldn't do it because there wasn't enough memory and now It's saying I need to restore it (recovery mode).
I click on the button to restore it and it comes up with, "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194).
I am REALLY ANNOYED as I can't use my iPad at the moment, and when I click on restore it says that all data on the iPad will be lost (so Im not happy about that at all!!!!)
How do I solve this, I've followed all their support steps, but it's still not working. There is no local apple store by me either - I live in the middle of no where and study full-time and work part-time, so am unable to travel to the nearest store during their opening times as they clash with my hours!!!
PLEASE HELP!!

My ipad mini went in to recovery mode, when installing ios 8 HELP!!

I was trying to install ios 8 when my ipad mini went in to recovery mode. please help!!

Hey Foxamy31,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is in recovery mode, meaning you’ll need to restore it with iTunes. If you previously synced/backed up with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup:

In updating to most recent ios, iPad says its gone into recovery mode - any ideas?

When updating to the most recent iOS, my iPad says its gone into recovery mode and the only option i have is to restore to factory settings - any ideas?

The message means what it says. Unfortunately something went wrong and you will have to restore your iPad now. If you have a backup, you can restore from the backup after you restore the iPad to factory settings. If you have no backup, you have to start all over again.
You can download much of your purchased content again in the purchased tabs of iTunes or the app stores or if you sync with iTunes ( if you sync with iTunes you should have some sort of backup) you can sync your content back to the iPad.
