My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode after attempt to upgrade iOS.

Help,
I have tried to update my iPhone 4 iOS to iOS7 and the iPhone is stuck in recovery mode.
I tried to hold the home button and the power button and restart it as it was written in may support forums but it did not help.
When I connected the iPhone to the iTunes I receives the follwong dialog box:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
When I press on the restore button I receive the following warning dialog box:
"Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased..."
Well, I have a lot of unbacked up data on my iPhone so I most defenitly don't want to delete it...
So, I am stuck. Can someone please assist me ?
Thanks

You need to Click that button to continue...
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
After you have Recovered your Device...

  • HT6154 iPhone 5s is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to upgrade to  7.1.1

    I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 5s to 7.1.1 today
    During the process, the phone Screen got on the upgrade progress bar. After an hour I decided to cancel the upgrade by turning off the phone.
    I am not sure if iOS 7.1.1 ever finished installing. After turning it back on I see the recovery icon which won't go away after turning it off and on.
    How do I get out of this recovery mode loop?

    OmarZB,
    it appears the bottom line is that the upgrade failed and left the phone in the recovery loop. As it turns out, because I plugged in and used itunes for the upgrade, a backup was automatically created before the upgrade started. I had know idea until i decided to check under itunes > preferences > devices.
    I resolved my problem by restoring the factory settings and then restoring the backup that was automatically created.
    All is well now after many hours of stressing.

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it, it seems to download the new software (ios6) but nothing is restored. I still get that recovery screen. How can I get out of the recovery mode?

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

    After trying several different things, I still cannot get my phone out of recovery mode. I'm studying abroad and would very much like to not be stuck in Belgium without a phone. I also don't want to go buy a new one if there's a fix for this. I have tried everything from modifying hosts to using TinyUmbrella and it still will not restore. Any ideas?

    hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.
    first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone
    second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.
    Either of it can try!

  • My iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after updating to ios5.1

    i got my iphone 4 updated to ios 5 months ago and it was successful. However, i was updating my software to ios 5.1 using the phone itself and it went into recovery mode after that. The moment before updating it was fine and now it stuck in recovery mode, showing the itunes logo and usb cable.
    I connected my phone to the itunes on my laptop and it shows that my iphone is in recovery mode and must be restored.
    I've tried restoring it but after the restoration cycle was done, it pop up a window saying there's an error (1) occuring and my iphone was unable to be restored.
    I've tried it again and again for hours from yesterday evening until now but it's still the same. Anyone can help? I got no more phone to use at the moment.

    download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

    Unfortunately, if you are in Recovery Mode then all your data is already gone.
    You need to connect to iTunes to restore iOS then restore from your latest iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after IOS 6.0 update

    My iphone 4S is stuck in recovery mode. I connected to iTunes earlier today to update the IOS to 6.0 and that's when it got stuck.  From reading phones stuck in recovery mode, it seems like it is happening with this software update.  Why didn't they tell us there would be an issue and pull the update.
    I have an appt at the Genius desk later today.  My question is this; I have phone messages on my phone,   I listed to messages that ATT saves on their server and the older ones on my phone are not in their current 20 list.  When my phone is restores, will all of the phone messages still be on my  phone?  How about all of the photos I took this week?  Last time I synched was more than a week ago.
    The phone messages are very important to me. I can't loose them. My son died this summer and 2 of the messages are from him.

    If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on the phone are gone.  If your messages were not previously backed up, then they are forever gone.

  • IPhone is stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update it. What can I do?

    I tried to update to iOS 4.3, It seemed to be working fine until it displayed this error notification - http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblrlhuulwwGjV1qbpguwo1500.png My phone is now stuck in recovery mode and I cannot restore it, I can only "restore and update" and its the update which isn't working.
    Someone told me to download 4.2 online and restore it, I have downloaded it but I don't know how I can install it back on my phone
    Please can anyone help? this is urgent!

    This reply isn't to shorty2006, that post was awhile ago. This is for everyone that updates itunes and gets an error that their phone is now in Recovery mode. 
    I've been researching all night and even thought about downloading several different things that were suppose to get my phone out of "Recovery" mode.  Then I thought about taking my phone to the Apple store after work tomorrow.  I then found this blog and read coltonkj's entry and tada!  I took a big breath and hit "restore".  It worked, it put me back to the page where you can select to restore the last back-up.  Shooooo!!!!
    Thank you coltonkj !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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?

  • Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to update

    So basically i was on iOS 7.0.0 and when my phone was below 10% and i tried to charge it, it would keep turning on and off every 2 minutes. Somebody had told me to update to the latest version of iOS, so I did. While downloading the new version onto my phone an error code popped up (error 29) and the update bar was only half full. Ever since then my phone  has been stuck in Recovery Mode and I have tried everything I know to fix it. Please  help.
