My iPhone 4 is in recovery mode...Someone please help!

I plugged my iPhone into to my computer to sync it and next thing you know it went to a black screen and when I tried to turn it back on, it tells me to connect to itunes.  When I tried to connect to itunes it tells me to restore and update it.  Even when I press restore it tells me my iphone is not recognized and is now in recovery mode... Someone please tell me how to get it out of recovery mode!

I've just had the same problem, first of all don't give up! follow the steps which Modular 747 suggests or do a hard reset, which entails holding the on/off button at the top of the phone and the home button, for around 30 seconds, once the phone powers on, let go of the on/off button but continue to hold the home button down, as soon as the message changes to 'connect to itunes' plug the USB plug back in, itunes should now detect the iphone and will restore it.
If this fails, repeat the steps, I had to do it twice before it worked.

  • How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..Please help me

    How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..i have tried So many ways and aloso tryed with  3rd party software but nothing happens...i trying with iTunes but error 14  message appare..i am from bd that's why in my country doesn't have any apple service center

    Error 14 is typically a hardware failure, but can be caused by security software...anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Given what you've posted, I suspect a hardware failure, & if that's the case, you won't be able to restore the phone. You'll need to find a service center to confirm.

  • How to get out of Recovery Mode? Please help!!

    Hello all,
    I have a Nomad Muvo^2 that is stuck in Reocvery Mode. Turns out that when i loaded recovery mode, i didn't really need it cuz it was just my computer that was messed up. Now with a new computer and me being able to access the E dri've for it and see its contents, i can't get out of Recovery Mode. When i turn my player on it reads this message:
    Recovery Mode v.00
    Then it lists the different options like PC Scandisk, etc...
    How can i get out of it's
    Could someone please help me?
    Also could i use the Recovery Tool for it even though my specific type of player is not listed?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    What happens when you select the Clean Up option?
    Refer to this article for more information on the recovery mode options. The recovery tool is not compatible with this player.

  • Iphone in recovery mode? PLEASE HELP

    Hello everyone. the iOS 8 update came out today and I wanted to download the update through my computer onto my iPhone 5s. i plugged in my phone and it said backing up and all. It then said Validating update and my iPhone went to the white screen with the apple logo and the bar started moving. As my phone was updating, it was almost finished when something came up that said it couldn't be downloaded, because I had an older version of iTunes. The iPhone still plugged in, I downloaded the new version of iTunes. (11.4) Then I unplugged my phone. I plugged it back in and it said that my phone was in recovery mode and it needed to be restored to factory settings before I can do anything. I am so worried that I will lose everything. I didn't click restore yet because I am afraid I will lose all my photos(over 9,000) and everthing else I have on there. If I click restore iPhone, and it goes back to factory settings, i'll have iOS 8 but what about all my content? Will the option to back up everything from when i first plugged it in be there? I'm scared to click restore and not be able to restore from backup. I can't do anything on iTunes but click restore. If i go to file, devices, it wont let me click restore from backup. If I restore back to factory settings to get out of recovery mode, will i be able to back up all my content? PLEASE HELP. I know for a fact it was backed up a few hours ago, it says exactly when. If I hit restore iPhone, and everything goes back to factory settings and I have the new update, will I be able to Restore from backup? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Sozanalmohammad12
    Restoring your iPhone is your only option to get it back up. You can check for that back up that happened before you originally tried to update.

  • Iphone 3GS is stuck in recovery mode? Please help!

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS and my phone is currently stuck in recovery mode after trying to update iOS 4.1 to iOS 5.01.
    When i connect my phone to itunes, i click on "Restore" and iTunes then tells me it will restore to the latest version (5.01). After this version has downloaded it processes the file but then does nothing and does not attempt to install the file. I have then tried it again (6 or 7) times and exactly the same thing happens each time.
    I have tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall itunes and tried again and the same thing happened. For some reason itunes will not install or even commence the installment of version 5.01.
    Please help???

  • IPhone 4 Recovery Mode Loop PLEASE HELP ASAP

    My iPhone 4 is stuck in a Recovery mode loop ever since I updated to iOS 6. I am using a mac running 10.8.3 with the latest iTunes. When it is connected to my computer iTunes pops up and says "An iPhone in recovery mode has been connected, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then I click restore and update and it goes through with the whole process then i get the unknown error -1 and an iPhone that is still in recovery mode:(
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I called them and they said that they needed my serial number wich i do not have because my device is in recovery mode.

  • My new iphone 5 losing storage, can someone please help me?

    i keep getting less and less space on my new iphone 5, i plugged it in and itunes told me the "other" section was using 11.2 GB of a 13 GB phone. I dont know what to do or what is going on, can someone please tell me what's happening. Tried restoring my phone but the capacity was still over!

    You will not lose anything.  It does exactly what it says it puts the native apps in the same place they were when you got the phone i.e. it rearranges your home screen layout.  read page 20 of the manual

  • Recovery mode loop please help(wont let me restore)

    I need help. About two hours ago i tried updating my iphone 4, ios 7 to the latest firmware. I tried doing this straight from my device. after several minutes my device seemed to be frozen.  I read online to put it in recovery mode. after i did this my iphone says it needs to be connected to itunes. so i did that and it told me i needed to restore my device since it was in recovery mode. after searching the internet, I found that no one is experiencing what I am. So i decided to try and restore my iphone.  However, an error popped up (Error 3194) I have tried multiple times to restore it and it still wont work. any ideas or anything that could help? I really dont want to buy a new iphone.

    yeah, this happened to me. Except I got a different Error message. I tried everything. I even gave it to my friend who is a Tech at Apple Co. He said, that it's basically not responding to the update/restore and it's an update error. They are unable to do anything unless it's under warranty. Which for me...it isn't. So I had to go to my provider and get a new phone. I got the Samsung, and now I cannot recieve text messages from some iPhone users. Which is another Apple issue. -__________- Good luck!

  • TS3694 How do I solve Errorr 2001 when iPhone is in recovery mode?! HELP!

    My iPhone 4S isn't turning on properly! It comes up with the apple logo then turns off again!
    Like any normal person I have plugged the phone into iTunes, it tunes on then comes up with the USB pointing to the iTunes symbol which then tells me it's in Recovery Mode and I should Restore the Phone... After reaching to 'Verifying iPhone with iTunes' the message 'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (2001)'
    Then its back to square one!!
    Somebody help, it's very frustrating!!!

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • MICRO STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My micro is stuck in recovery mode and i tried to reboot and disk clean-up. When i clicked disk cleanup nothing happened. Please help.

    That would seem to indicate a problem with the dri've. I'd advise you contact Customer Support to get them to replace it for you, or (if you only just purchased it) contact the store directly.
