My Iphone keeps coming out of recovery mode before Im done

Hi eli238,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.

If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

IPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode but I don't want to restore!

I backed up my phone then tried to update it to iOS 6.1.3 and the update wasn't working so i unplugged it, hoping to start over. My phone is now in recovery mode and I've tried holding the buttons and nothing has worked. I DO NOT WANT TO RESTORE MY PHONE. I have important pictures on my phone and they will be erased. What do I do?

If the iPhone is in Recovery Mode, there is no choice but to restore.
Notes:
In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue.

My firefox keeps coming out of maximized mode. There is no action that triggers it. But it happens in less than a minute.

Addons I use:
addblock plus
ant video downloader
fire gestures
new tab king
web developer

My answer is probably not what you're looking for, but that hasn't stopped me yet ;-)
I used the Apple imaging tools for years, sometimes without a hitch, sometimes successfully after searching these forums for tips becasue the tools didn't work straightforward, and sometimes with no luck. 2 or 3 years ago we hired a consultant to help out with imaging. They went right to DeployStudio. I've not touched Apple's imaging tools since.
DeployStudion's documentation is great, there is a good firum at their web site, and I've found the process to be much more stable than any version of Apple's tools. Once it is set up and running, adding new images and workflows is a breeze, and it is easily configurable. I highly reccomend it. YMMV.

6230i keeps coming out of "car" mode in cradle

Sorry, but I don't know what cradle I have as the kit was installed by my employer. When I put the 6230i in the cradle it recognises it and goes into hands free mode. After 30 secs or so it goes back into hand held mode. If I press the remote Nokia button on the dash it goes back to hands free but only briefly. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the engineer has taken power from the back of the radio and you have a car with a can bus system (no ignition wires). To cheat he has use power antenna connection. I would seriously doubt this engineer capability. If you need a good engineer in your area let me know.

How to get ipad out of recovery mode?

how do I get my ipad OUT of recovery mode. i don't want anything deleted.

If you are already in recovery mode, then your data is already lost. Your only option is to restore through iTunes then reload your most recent backup which you say was some time ago. This is why you need to backup everything at least once a week. Then when problems arise, you haven't lost a lot of information.

My less than 2 week old iPhone 5 has gone into recovery mode... I've been trying to restore all day using itunes but just as the restore is about to finish, error 21 comes up. My phone is essential for work and this has caused me endless problems today. I am disgusted with this, I need a reliable phone. Please someone help me get it working again?!

Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update

So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!

Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it. And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either. Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

IPhone 3GS froze during iOS 5.1.1 update - how do I get out of recovery mode without having to restore?

So I tried to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1.1, like iTunes told me to do, and it froze part way through the installation for a couple of hours. I tried to "reset" the iPhone by pressing both the home and power buttons simultaneously, but now iTunes tells me my iPhone is in recovery mode. From my limited knowledge, it seems I need to restore my iPhone, but I don't want to lose anything, like my SMS history.
Is there a way to get out of recovery mode without having to restore?
Thanks!

I came across this post as my iPhone 3Gs had gone into recovery mode on its own accord.   I had hundreds of photos unsaved and was gutted when I saw this post, I felt even worse as it was not the information (gdgmacguy) I wanted to read.
Unfortunately, the above post is simply wrong! A system cannot destroy information in a blink of an eye.   If it were that easy, the forensic teams across the world would have a hard time. A criminal could simply force a phone into recovery to remove all the data. Please!
I managed not only to take the phone out of recovery mode but also, salvaged all the data held on it.
To be fair, I am a little annoyed at Apple for not offering a salvage option on the device for such a situation. And it may be that they will not like me sharing this information, in which case I believe this view to be morally wrong because photos are so important. We all make mistakes, in terms of forgetting to backup from time to time.
What I used was the Redsn0w software, running as an administrator in XP compatibility mode. In the ‘Extras’ section it as a Recovery Fix option. It simply runs some software that takes the device out of recovery mode. I had to run it twice for some reason but the second time (out of desperation) worked a treat. The phone is now exactly as it was before it went into recovery mode. More to the point, it allowed me to backup all the photos and videos that I had failed to do before hand. And let’s face it, photos and videos are usually the most valuable stuff we keep on our phones.
I hope this help anyone in the same situation. I really hope someone from apple reads it and is able to convince the bosses that a recovery option is very important. And to take note that YES it is possible to recover data on a phone stuck in recovery mode. And more than likely it would be easier for apple, compared to other non-apple professionals.
Good luck.

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.
