My iPhone is in recovery mode after attempting to update the software

How do i get my iphone to stop recovery mode, it is connected to itunes and everything. When i take my phone off itunes it restarts and tells me to connect to itunes, then tells me the phone is in 'recovery mode'. Please help me someone.

same exact problem here, phone won't go out of recovery mode. went to apple store, said to restore it but will lose all of my data. don't have it backed up. read that the restore resets the phone and deletes data however it does not actually 'erase' the data. if i can get the phone restored, how do i get the data too?

    Updated my Iphone to the lastest update offered by itunes last night ... Iphone is now in recovery mode and isn't being recognized by the computer or Itunes!
    I've restarted several times and I've reinstalled itunes.

Now I it is stuck in a power cycle and won't boot up, gets to the apple screen and cycles power.  I ahve been trying torecover all day, but after it downloads I get a network error message.  Anyone have an answer or did Apple just hose us all.

  • Iphone went into recovery mode after trying to update to 5.1

    I went to upgrade to 5.1 and my iphone went into recovery mode and will not work unless i restore it, if i do this will i lose everything!?

    How to enter iPhone DFU mode
    Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
    Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
    Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
    Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
    When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
    Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
    Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
    Exit DFU mode on iPhone
    The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
    And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch.

  • Can't restore my iphone 5 after attempting to update the software

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted update.  Will not restore

    I attempted to update my iPhone software to the latest, and then proceded to fail.  Now it will not restore, will not power on, and will not hard reset via the sleep/awake button and other.  I've had this phone less than a week and I'm already having issues. 

    If you are using a Windows based computer to restore the iPhone, it could be the security software or firewall preventing the restore process.

    If nothing above helps, definitely return it. It's under warranty.

  • IPhone stuck in recovery mode after attempted to downgrade from iOS5 Beta

    Hi,
    There was a bug being reported in one of my apps, but I couldn't replicate it.  I tried to downgrade back to 4.3.5 to see if iOS 5 was the reason that I couldn't replicate it,  but now my phone is stuck in Recovery Mode.
    I have restored Xcode 4.1, iTunes 10.4.1 to remove iOS5 from my mac.  Now I'm stuck in the cycle: connect me to iTunes screen -> Preparing to restore -> Unknown error code 1604.
    Will I get help at an Apple store? Or do I now just have an expensive door stop?

    Please use the confidential forums created for this purpose:

  • 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?!

    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 ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

    My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

    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.

    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,
