My iphone 4s is in recovery mode after updating and keeps getting error 4005

Hi there,
I recently tried updating to iOS 7.1 using iTunes. Don't know what went wrong but I got an error (quickly clicked it away so don't know what the first error was) and it is now in recovery mode. Whenever I try to recover it with iTunes it stick with "waiting for iPhone" and after a couple of minutes it gives error 4005.
I have tried several USB cables, computers and ports. Even switched the docking port and battery from another 4s, but with no positive results.
Is there anything else I can try? Switching out certain hardware to figure out which is faulty??
I am tomorrow going to try the same thing on a iMac. Anything else?

Hi Rajarani,
Thanks for thinking with me. I have tried all of those steps except for the direct internet connection (im on wifi with my pc and laptop) but iTunes uses a IPSW downloaded before so internet is only necessary for validating?
I have also tried it in DFU mode, but once it is preparing iphone for recovery it reboots to recovery mode.
Thanks anyway!

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after update

    Hello..
    After updating my iphone 4s, my iphone got stuck in recovery mode. I don't really care what happens to my contacts, old texts, or apps.. All I want are my pictures. Anyone have any idea on how I can get them back? I have over 1,200 pictures & I none of them can be found on my iCloud. Someone help me save my photos!!

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after update attempt.

    Hey everyone,
    I recently tried to update my phone to ios 7.1.  I was just about finished when iTunes told me that it was out of date and needed to be updated.  I updated it, but it put my phone into a recovery loop that I can't get out of.  The phone is NOT jailbroken.  I've tried to get out of it through TinyUmbrella, change the host file in etc/hosts, and hard reset it multiple times.  Any ideas?  Trying to do it without restoring, as I have pictures I still need to back up.
    Thank you!

    Turns out we had a backup right before it did the update, and we have all the pictures and contacts with it. Just did a fresh restore and set it up with that backup.

    Call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone and tell them you only want to know the name of the cell provider it is locked with. Then contact that cell provider and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

  • HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

    Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

    How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

    In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
    Install data recovery app on your computer
    connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
    display scanning result
    choose local folder to store recovered items
    You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud.  More details can be found out here.

  • My Iphone 3GS is in restore mode after updating to IOS 4.3

    I need help I was trying to update my IP 3GS and now i'm stuck in restore mode is there a way to fix it with out losing my contacts?

    Check this out:
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    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.
