IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode even after restore

Yesterday my sister told me she had a problem with her iPhone.
She was on 5.1.0 and updated OTA to 5.1.1. When the update was done, her iPhone rebooted and displayed the 'connect to iTunes' screen. She gives it to me, I do what I can and after several restores the only thing that shows up after a restore is the 'connect to iTunes' screen. In iTunes, it says it's in recovery mode and needs restoring....again.

any solutions?

This is Apple's troubleshooting for restore loop issues (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694):
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
You may want to disable any security software you may be running on your computer and try to restore it again. If that doesn't work, try USB troubleshooting steps (also from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694):
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

IPod Nano 5th Generation Stuck in Recovery Mode even after Restore.

Hello,
I have an iPod Nano 5th generation (model number A1320) that I would like to completly restore to working condition.
Currently it is stuck in "recovery mode".
I have followed the steps given by Apple here on a Microsoft Windows system with the latest Apple iTunes software but after step 9 I am back to "recovery" mode where I am given the option of performing the restore process all over again.
How can I restore this iPod Nano?
Thank you.

Hello tmason101,

Ipod mini stuck in recovery mode, even after restoring

my ipod mini is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried putting it into disk mode and restoring the ipod but , as soon as it resets after restoring it shows it's still in recovery mode. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

What happens if you try and do a low level reformat of the iPod using the tools provided by windows and the step-by-step guide on this page?

Another good troubleshooting step at this point might be to remove all other USB devices (minus the keyboard and mouse if applicable) and reboot your PC.
Try restoring it on another PC or Mac if necessary.

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode

For the last couple of days my iPhone has been stuck in landscape mode. No matter what I do it will not switch out of landscape. I've tried shutting it off, closing apps and even restored my phone but whenever I go into an app it automatically switches to landscape.
Anyone else have this problem????
Thanks

Double click the home button scroll over to the audio controlls there is a button on the left that looks like a reload button that locks the orientation

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode after iOS 6 upgrade

I used to have a fully operational iPhone 4 until yesterday, when I upgraded to iOS 6.
Many apps including Mail, Safari, Contacts, Calendar and several third-party apps have been stuck in landscape mode since then.
I have tried to:
- reset
- restore from back-up
- restore to factory settings,
without success.
At the end of the day, I am not even sure whether this problem relates to iOS 6 or if it is just a coincidence. Anyway, the only workaround I found is to lock autorotate in portrait mode, which is not acceptable in the long run.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Pb solved!
Yesterday, my iPhone ran out of battery and powered off automatically. When I restarted it after a full battery load cycle, the iPhone was able to autorotate again.
So far, so good
Hope it helps someone else.

IPhone 3GS not working in landscape mode even after tilting.

My IPhone 3GS works only in portrait mode even if tilted to landscape mode for all apps. For the few apps which are primarily designed for landscape mode but do work in portrait mode, the device continues to work in landscape mode even when tilted to portrait. Continue to face this problem even after reloading iOS 6.

try switching off the portrait lock

Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode. Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times. Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo. I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either. Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

Update: I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account. None of these did anything for me. I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.

My iphone is stuck in landscape mode. How do I get it unstuck?

For apps that automatically adjust between portrait and landscape, it is always on landscape. How do I get it to rotate when I change position?

IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode won't restore

I have an iPhone 4S that something happened to when we had a power surge (even thought it was on a power strip).
It is stuck in the loop where the apple is on the screen and then off - repeat.
Fully charged.
I have plugged it into iTunes and attempted to restore. It does it's thing for 50 minutes or so and then I get an error.
I have tried this on two different computers. The latest error is 2001. It gets to the "waiting for iphone" and then the phone shuts off and looses connection to itunes.
I have even switched USB ports and wires.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

I think DFU mode should fix your iPhone... I dont think this is a port issue though... I would recommend you read this [Fixed]iPhone stuck at Apple Logo maybe one of the steps there can help you along.
Method 1# Jump Start
Connect your iPhone to your switched of computer and start your computer, your phone should start along and if everything goes as well the phone should boot up properly.
Its from the same link... try this, if it works

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me
