My iPhone 4 will not come out of recovery mode.

After attempting to update to iOS 7.1.1 (I think, may have been the next update) my phone will not come out of recovery mode when I tried to install the update. It is now stuck, and nothing I can think of will work. Tried redsnow, tried on another computer... Nothing works. Any advice?

Hi there incendrix,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • IPhone will not come out of Recovery Mode. At. All.

    Hi, my 1 year old iPhone has gone into Recovery Mode after a failed restore and im at my wits end. I get error message, after error message. I have windows xp so its a lot harder to use all the downloads that are available. I havent jailbroken my iPhone. Ive tried, iRecovery, TinyUmbrella, and changing the Firmware. Still that annoying cable, arrow and iTunes symbol. I cherish my phone and if anyone can give me any tips to get it out of this endless loop id be much appreciated. If I try to restore it, it gets to the very last bit and then, bam, 'iTunes cannot restore this iPhone due to blah blah blah.' I know the only solution for this is probably giving up or taking it to the apple store, which will cost me just as much as the phone did. Im lost. Help. Please. :'/

    Generally, the 1015 error has to do with jailbroken devices, or computes that have been used to jailbreak phones.

  • HT1414 my iphone 4 running on IOS 5 will not come out of recovery mode and gives the error code -1. Can any one help me please because i've been without a phone for 2 weeks and still not getting anywhere.

    Hi there could someone out there please help i've got a Iphone 4 running on IOS 5 and it will not come out of recovery mode> It comes up with the error code -1 which i've looked everywhere on the web but no one seams to have the same issue.
    This is a reconditioned replacement phone from the apple genius guys which i paid £130 for and only got 3 months warranty with and as soon as the warranty run out it crashed on me and never been able to get it back out of recovery mode. I've been back to the apple genius guys and they have told me there's nothing they can do other than charge me £130 to take the phone off me and give me another reconditioned phone with a 3 month warranty. Which as you can properly tell i dont want to.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME thanks for your time

    This is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.

  • TS3694 I have attempted to update my iphone to ios8. My phone has gone into recovery mode. I have tried all of your recommendation and it will not come out of recovery mode. HELP!

    I have attempted to update my iPhone to ios8. My phone has gone into recovery mode. I have tried all of your recommendation and it will not come out of recovery mode. HELP!

    Without knowing what you did and exactly what happened (error messages) all I can suggest is:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
    iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Have a nice day,

    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

    I currently have a iPhone 3 that I would like to give my 10 year old son. I have an error coming up in recovery mode stating that iTunes has detected my iPhone is in recovery mode and that i must restore the iPhone it can be used with iTunes.

  • I-touch will not come out of recovery mode, even after restore attempts

    iTouch became unresponsive after charging. The screen dispalyed icons indicating it should be connected to iTunes.
    iTunes said that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored.
    Multiple attempts at restore have been unsuccessful. After each restore "completes", the ipod reappers in iTunes saying that it is in recovery and must be restored.
    ITouch buttons will only shut it down by holding down the top black button. Power down never appears on screen, home button is unresponsive.
    iTouch is only 6 months old.
    Thanks so much for any ideas!

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

  • Phone will not get out of recovery mode/will not update or restore

    Iphone will not get out of recovery mode. I have pressed the home and lock screen at the same time, and nothing happens. I connected it to iTunes to try to update my phone or restore it, and it will not do anything. The progress bar shows up on the screen but does not make any progress and iTunes says it cannot connect to my phone. I have tried everything and went to the AT&T store and they told me to contact Apple support. What do I do now?

    You will have to restore it from Recovery Mode

  • My iphone 4s will not come out of unlock mode ?

    my iphone 4s will not come out of unlock mode i reset the phone back to factory setting still not working

    When you updated did you have to create a different code for the install? I just got another tip from a different user and found out (and didn't think about it at the time) the install code has to be used to open the phone...NOT the previous version code! Got mine open. Good luck.

  • HP LaserJet P3005x will not come out of sleep mode

    Printer will not come out of sleep mode (after being in sleep mode for an extended period of time (over 24 hrs)).  When this happens, I can not ping the printer and pressing any of the buttons on the printer will not bring it out of sleep mode.  I'm testing now to see if I can recreate this with the printer attached to my PC via USB.

    Hi arosecarter,
    I understand your monitor is not coming out of sleep mode. Take a look at the following support document, Resolving Problems with Sleep and Hibernate Modes (Windows 7). Step 3 might be of particular interest to you, as you mentioned your keyboard and mouse are not really working for you either. Perhaps it is another connected device that is causing the issue? Anyway, hopefully this document will be of help to you. Best of luck. Have a wonderful day.

  • 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.
