My iPhone is stuck in restore mode - waiting for iPhone prompt... help!

My iPhone randomly crashed, and when I plug it in it says "device in recovery mode, restore and update." So I do, but then it extracts software of the phone and goes to a "waiting for iPhone" prompt for hours. Can someone please help me....

Double click home button to show recently opened apps bar, slide to right, unlock portrait orientation lock on left.

  • My iphone is stuck in restore mode.  I plugged into macbook and ran a restore and it is still stuck

    iphone is stuck in restore mode when i did a rebook.  I hooked up to my macbook and ran a restore.   Itunes ran through the restore and now it is still stuck in restore mode.

    If it won't restore in the regular restore mode, you may want to try putting it in DFU mode if you haven't already. Instructions for this are linked below.

    Put it in this mode, then do a restore again through your computer.
    Hope this helps you out!

  • HT201413 stuck in restore mode on new iphone 5

    stuck in restore mode on new iphone 5

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes.  This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Iphone 5s  stuck at restore mode?

    My Iphone 5s is stuck at restore mode I have tried numerous methods to bring it back to life. Its not working I really do not want to loose all my pictures and apps? Can anyone help me with this issue?. Connecting to Itunes is not working also tried restore mode which cancels as there seems to be an error/ connection lost.

    If you've not previously backed it up, your data is already lost. Try this method:
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode, iTunes "Preparing iPhone for restore" nothing is happening.

    When loading iTunes this morning an update that I had been putting off popped up and I figured since I was going to be in the house for a while I'd finally do it. An error took place that I foolishly ignored and made no note of.
    My iPhone is now stuck in Recovery mode (I assume so anyway, after having googles my problem for hours), iTunes tells me I need to restore the phone and so I click to allow it to. It then gets to the "Preparing iPhone for restore" and just sits there, doing nothing.
    I am unable to use my phone and I feel very much out of my depth as I have NO idea what to do. Any help (noob friendly) would be greatly appreciated.

    I appear to have managed to fix the issue through googling the error code (rather than ignoring it this time), and figured I'd add the solution here for anybody in the future.
    I simply moved my cable connecting my pc and iPhone to a USB port in the back of my computer rather than using the ones in the front and the process kicked off almost instantly without any further issues.

  • IPhone 3Gs stuck in restore mode.  Unknown error 1015

    Error: "iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1015)".
    I'm in Tanzania and was trying to jail break my phone with one of those online download programs that say they can break any iPhone. 100% guaranteed! Well, my phone is now locked up in 'need of restore' through iTunes. BUT, it won't restore. The error 1015 keeps returning at the end of the restore process. I'm up to date on iTunes and iPhone software. Can anyone help me? I'm stuck here in Africa with an 11 hour time shift from Apple tech support.

    1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
    The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
    gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
    Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
    The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
    used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
    network database was corrupted during the process.

  • I have an Iphone 3Gs stuck in restore mode after full restore?

    Hello, I was trying to restore my Iphone 3Gs to 4.3.2 firmware. I got it all restored then the message on itunes popped up saying the phone would reboot and not to unplug it. Well I didnt and after the messaged left about three seconds later itunes popped up and said a phone has been detected to be restored. I have been through this process five times already. How do I get it out of DFU or recovery/restore mode?

  • Iphone 3GS stuck in restore mode...PLEASE HELP!!

    Yesterday my microphone stopped working on my phone. I called tech support. They told me to run a restore on my phone (which I had thought I had done but didn't). They told me I would have to pay $200 to replace the phone since I am 30 days outside of my warrenty. Needless to say, when I got home from work, I figured out I didn't do the restore (I'm not the most tech savy person out there).
    I have a 16G 3GS and it has been in restore mode for about 6 1/2 hours now with no progress. I do not know what to do! Nothing is happening. I use a PC with Window's Vista and have ISO 4.3.3 installed on my phone. The silver apple with unmoving progress bar are on my phone. I've tried a few fixes I've found and could understand on here with no success (ie. trying to get the computer to access the phone to jump start the process again). I don't know what else to do! I know I don't want to unplug the phone from the computer. Is there a way to stop the restore process and just reinstall the phone to the previous sync with out completing the restore? I have not gotten any error messages.
    Any help in laymens terms would be much appriciated!

    If this happens to anyone...follow the steps in the above article. If the phone freezes in the restore mode again follow the steps again BUT unplug the USB from the phone, then the computer and use a different USB plug on the computer. About 20 minutes later, phone is restored, synced back to my last sync and my microphone works! Only 8 hours in total but at least its for something!

  • IPhone 3g stuck in restore mode, not detected by computer

    while i was restoring my iphone, my computer died. and im stuck with this.(see picture) it can't be hard reset and be detected by my computer. please help me!!

    Hello there MKkhann,
    I would recommend resetting your iPhone. This will not take it out of recovery mode, but should 'unstick' it. It may take more than 1 attempt to be successful:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
