Both Ipad2 and Iphone3Gs stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update
Hello,
My Ipad2 (and the Iphone 3Gs of my wife) is stuck after trying updating my devic with iOS 5.
Error 3200 occured and then the screen only shows the usb plug to Itunes, and that's it !!
Any idea please ?
Regards,Well, after attempting every kind of tips seen on the web, I tried this one to exit recovery mode : stop then start "Apple device service" on Win7 64 bit, change the usb plug where my devices were linked.
And, I don't know why, Itunes recognized again both Ipad2 and Iphone 3Gs, said 'hey your devices are in recovery mode !' ,and proposed to backup and update them. After long minutes waiting, both devices were upgraded with iOS 5 and then sync to put my apps on them.
Thankfully everything now works properly, but It has been long hours of trouble and frustration... -
I tried updating my iPhone3g through itunes. Now i'm stuck in recovery mode and i've EVERYTHING even websites and such but nothing worked out! I've also tried restarting and fiddling with the home button but nothing still worked. Please help! What should I do??
Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Tuesday night I was texting a friend and when I went to open her message, my screen went blue and restarted. I just wrote it off as weird and went on about my business. Later that night, I tried to turn on my phone and it would not turn on. I plugged it up, held down the power button, and pressed the home button all numerous times. I looked online and it said to do a "hard reset" by holding down the power and home button at the same time--my phone then came on. Throughout Wednesday, it would give me a blue screen and restart--nothing major just really annoying. I took it to the local Verizon store where I bought the phone from and he said that it was some type of hardware defect and I was still under my year warranty so I could get a new one for free--the free phone won't be here until tomorrow, Saturday. I took it home and it didn't give me any trouble for a couple of hours. The next day it was cooperating and then I left town for a little while and it acted up (blue screen and then restarting) a few times. When I got home, it acted up again and so I restarted the phone and it was working fine. A few minutes later, I tried to check my messages and the phone was off again. No matter what I do, my phone will not come back to life. It had at least 45% battery last time I looked at it. I decided to plug the phone up to my computer and see what it did--my computer recognizes that there is a phone hooked to it and it says that it's in "recovery mode". It also said that if I'm having issues with my phone, that I need to reset the phone via iTunes. I guess the questions that arise are
1. Why is my phone doing this?
2. If I reset my phone, will it go back to working again? I ask that because I don't want Verizon to charge me $300 when they send me the replacement phone and I won't need it (assuming that the phone decides to work once it's been reset).
3. What type of hardware defect is this that is causing this issue, not only with my iPhone 5S but others as well?
4. Shouldn't people be notifying Apple and letting them know that they need to fix this issue?
5. Should I report this issue to Apple even though I didn't buy the phone directly from them, but through Verizon?
Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated! This whole situation has me stressed out and seriously confused.Hi, beth.lau.gr.

My iPod Touch is stuck in recovery mode after I left it on while updating!!!
I was updating my ipod touch 3rd generation (ios 4.3, i think) and I saw a wasp and left the computer on in the middle of the updating process and now the ipod is stuck in recovery mode and it says the only way to get it out is to recover it, but that will erase everything!!! HELP ME!!! until i get an answer I HATE YOU, APPLE URGG
operating system: whatever the latest available to itouch is.Without knowing what the error message said all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iphone 4 nearly 2 yrs old. It has worked perfectly for that time. On Friday last (whilst away on holiday) I took the phone out of my pocket & it was lifeless. I tried switching it on, no joy, I tried the power/home button reset no joy. I plugged it into a mains charger & it came on but had a banner across the screen saying "verification required". I removed the charger & decided I would try again when I got home so I could connect to my PC & iTunes.
At home I went through the whole above process again but when I plugged it into the mains again it just had the Apple logo going on/off repeatedly. I plugged the phone into my PC & the apple logo appeared followed by the "connect to iTunes". In iTunes I get the banner "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". So I click on "OK" the "Restore" then a banner asking if I'm sure I want to restopre the iPhone appears, press "Restore & Update". iTunes starts to remove the software, veryfies it with Apple & then another flag "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21) which appears to be a security issue.
I thought the above problem was something to do with O2 because I picked up my new iPhone 4S last Tuesday but was unable to set it up until I got back from my holiday, O2 say it isn't anything they've done.
My question is has it happened to anyone & can anybody offer a solution, is it a hardware or software issue?Please see the two articles below:

My ipod touch isn't being recognized by iTunes or my computer. It's in "ipod recovery mode"?
My ipod touch 5th generation is not being recognized by my computer under devices or in itunes; however, when I click on devices and printers it comes up under "unspecified" and is labeled as "Apple mobile device usb driver." I right clicked the icon and hit troubleshooter and it opened itunes and told me I should restore and update my ipod. I did this twice and nothing has changed, it is still not being recognized. This is a big problem because the only thing that will pop up on the screen of my ipod is the symbol for the usb plug with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol (meaning plug into itunes I assume). I have tried restarting my ipod and restarting my computer and nothing is working. I have the most recent version of itunes. How do I fix this?
first try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

I have an iPhone 4. It is in great condition, always protected. A couple months ago, it randomly went black and wouldn't turn on. I put it in recovery mode, plugged it in to my MacBook Pro and would get error code 2001 then I'd get error code 2006. I read some different forums and many people said to try using a different USB port and different cords. The last cord I tried, worked and my phone was back. Last night, my phone did the same exact thing. So I used the same method I used last time, however nothing has worked. I tried plugging it in to a PC and that didn't work either. This seems like a hopeless problem that's going to continue to happen. Any advice?
Soooooooo.... You obviously need to restore the device
It seems that you have tried several options to restore it. What I would do is leave it plugged it and hold down the Home button AND the Power button together till you see the white apple appears. Then let go of the Power button but continue to hold the home button. You should get the message in iTunes again saying that the iPhone needs to be restored. Hit OK then RESTORE.
Hope this helps!! -

Can't restart Yosemite in Recovery Mode
I installed Yosemite on my mid-2012 MacBookPro yesterday, seemingly without difficulty. But: when I discovered that I didn't have permissions to read or write on anything, i ran Disk Utility. I tried Verify/Repair Permissions first, which discovered a lot of missing or changed permissions. Then I tried Repair Disk and the process stopped halfway through and gave me an error message essentially saying I needed to reboot in Recovery Mode and re-install. Fine--except it won't reboot in Recovery Mode. No matter what key combinations I try, it won't reboot into anything other than regular Yosemite. I had made a bootable backup of my hard drive before installing Yosemite, so I tried booting from that but, again, no choices of boot mode. Then I changed the Startup Disk preference in System Prefs to the disk with the clone on it and restarted: same result. Now what??

Hey everyone!
FireVault was turned on since I purchased my Macbook Pro in October.
Please read the warranty paperwork that came w/your computer.
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.
You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems & your concerns. It's what you paid them to do. -
How do I recover the data on my iPad2? It abruptly quit while I was shutting down and started playing Gaga's Scheibe from "Born this Way" -- it was not coming from My Music or iTunes. I pressed both home key and side button to get it to stop and plugged it in to recharge. The USB connector to iTures screen showed up and that's as far as I can go. Had an appointment at the "genius bar" this morning and all they tell me is that they can "restore" which will not save any info I have. The last backup I did was April 2013 (I know, very stupid of me). iTunes does not recognize the device. It's all greyed out and I get a window that says iTunes detected an iPad in Recovery mode. That's as far as I can get. I really don't want to lose any data. Please help me. Thank you. Nancy
You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

Ipad 2 not detected in recovery mode on my ASUS Windows 7 laptop
I have had this issue on all my idevices since I got this laptop, so this isn't directly associated with the new update.
I can sync my idevices with itunes on my laptop without any issues, but every time I try to install an iOS update, when it get to the stage where it is "preparing to restore your device" or some such, the laptop installs a new device driver and then itunes just spins awhile until it finally spits out error 1601 and then the device is stuck on the screen where it prompts you to connect to itunes.
At this point itunes on my laptop will not detect the device. I can see it listed in my device manager and it claims the usb driver is working correctly, however it no longer makes the beeping sound when I plug or unplug the cable, though it does disappear and reappear in device manager, which indicates it recognizes ipad plugged in, but not in the same way.
I have tried all the advice on the apple website re: unintalling reinstalling itunes an all it's components, disabling antivrus, firewall and non essential services, removing usb devices etc to no avail.
If I take my device over to my parents 32 bit vista desktop it recognizes it, installs the driver and itunes recognizes an ipad in recovery mode and I was able to restore the software and update to the new iOS on that desktop, then had to bring it back to my laptop to restore the software from my last backup.
My first question is....when the new ios is being installed is it putting the device into recovery mode as part of the process or is it going into recovery mode because the process errors out? If it's the former, then my assumption is that the whole issue is that for some reason something on my laptop is stopping itunes from being able to recognize my ipad while in recovery mode. If the later, then ?
My second question is....is the problem the driver, the usb port or something else unique to the laptop? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but if i let winows detect it after uninstalling it can't find a driver and i get the exclamation point. If i try to manually install per the apple instructions, it tells me that the driver file is not compatiable with my device. So either windows is somehow installing the wrong driver while device is in recovery or the comp isn't detecting what type of device it is properly or ?
I'm hoping maybe i can get the next os update over the cloud and this will become a non-issue, but having to go borrow a pc to update this thing gets really old as the laptop is my only computer, so any ideas would be appreciated.
Laptop is an ASUS ROG - not sure the exact model running 64 bit Windows 7 It has two usb ports and i have the same issue on either one.
The PC i successfully updated my device on is an older Dell running a 32 bit version of VistaHopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.

Please help, iPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and will not update.
I tried to update my girlfriend's iPhone 5 (AT&T) from 6.1.2 to 7.0.4 last night and something went wrong so of course I had backed it up so I put the phone into recovery mode and attempted to completely restore it and then restore from back-up (or at least that was my plan) but the problem is that once I got it in recovery mode and started the update it froze mid-update (Not a computer problem, I have a rMBP 2013, 2.3 ghz i7 & 16GB ram) so after about 30 minutes of watching it at the same spot I unplugged it and attempted to start over. Now everytime I attempt to update it it tries to re-download the software and once it gets completely downloaded it says it was corrupted during the download. I have also attempted to download the IPSW manunally and update that way and it now gets partially through the update and throws an error message. I have tried to use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode and it does not work either. I am out of options, I have no idea what else to do. I aplogize for my ****** grammar and sentence structure I am flustered and haven't taken the time to proofread it.
FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.
