My iPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.1.2

I have an iPhone 4s and today I received a notification to update to iOS 7.1.2 so I started to install it, it failed the first time I tried cause I didn't have enough space in my phone, i deleted a few apps and then tried again. While it was installing, the apple logo appeared, I thought the update would be successful, but then the iTunes logo with the charging cable below appeared, meaning that my phone was (is) in recovery mode.
I tried pressing home and unlock/lock button at the same time until the Apple logo appears again but it didn't work since it sent me back to the recovery mode screen.
I tried using Tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode but it didn't work.
I tried restoring my phone in iTunes but I got unknown error 3194 and it didn't work.
I'm desperate to solve this, I've been looking for answers for 4 straight hours.
I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could help me ASAP.

  • 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 4S is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to 6.1

    I was given the option to update to to thenew 6.1, and upon my phone resetting after the download I got the (-1) error and my phone was thrown into recovery mode.
    I have tried to restore my phone 5 times and each time I keep getting the -1 error code.
    Shutting it down with the home key / powe on off button does nothing but return me to the screen where my phone shows me the "plug me into iTunes" photo.
    Anyone else wonder if this is apple's way of hitting people up for a $20.00 service fee right after their one year warranty is up?
    Can someone help?

  • Ipad stuck in recovery mode after trying to update in ios6

    my ipad is stucked in recovery mode since trying to update in ios 6  any help?

    Hi there rmarr1,
    The only way to get out of recovery mode is by restoring the device via iTunes. If you initiated the update on iTunes on your computer, there may be a back up of the device that created before the update. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode when trying to update to ios 5.

    hello, im asking for help because my iphone 3g/3gs (not sure) went into recovery mode after attempting to update to ios 5. now the thing is that.... i need to restore it because its my only phone and im still paying for service. but the point is that i want to restore it so i can use it again but instead iTunes is giving me error 3194, which means my phone is not eligible for restore? i just want to restore it so i can deactivate it and use it as an ipod. all help appreciated!

    Open iTunes. plug in your iPhone to the usb-port while holding the home button pressed. Your bricked phone should now show up in iTunes.

  • 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.

    Hey Justinjoly,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

  • HELP!!  iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode after trying to update today w/new OS

    Ok my phone is stuck in recovery mode, Ive already restarted my computer & tried to shut down itunes & start it back up, it gets almost done with the restore verification and then it gives me a 1013 or something
    what to do?!
    Message was edited by: PsychedelicWonders

    Don't know if this will help but when I updated to 4.0.2 my phone gave me an error and bricked.
    I made a new user on my computer, installed itunes and then was able to update my phone without it erroring. Once I had a working phone I went back to the old user and updated my phone with all of the information that was there before. I lost a few things but had a working phone.
    Since then I have not had a problem with updating it in the old user. You might see if it will help with you all.

  • My iphone (4) is stuck in recovery mode after trying to install ios 5

    I successfully exited recovery yesterday using recboot, but then after retrying to install ios5 it failed again - this time with error 14, and its back in recovery mode and I can't get it to exit with recboot this time.  When I plug it in to my PC, itunes wants me to do a restore - i click the restore button and it takes anywhere between 15 minutes and 3 hours depending on the time! Then completes and does nothing to the phone - no error.  I've tried this again and again but no luck.  My service provider tells me its a problem with the handset and I need to get it checked, but they haven't been reading the apple forums so I'm not convinced!  Any help would be greatfully recieved! Heth

    Get your money back from the seller, and if you are not immediately successful file a complaint with eBay.
    Not all jailbroken iPhones can be fixed. That's probably why it was on eBay.
