New iphone 5 is hung in recovery mode.

After acivating and setting up my new iphone 5, I plugged it into home computer and it asked me to install the latest version of itunes onto the phone. I ok'd that and the download seemed to progress fine. When it started to install, it looked like all was proceeding until the end where I got a message that itunes could not be installed. Then got another message that before itunes could be installed the phone would have to be "restored". After reading that restored meant going back to factory defaults, I was reluctant since I had gotten emai accounts, and other stuff set up throughout the day. But, the phone wouldn't function. All I get is a graphic of a usb cable feeding into the itunes logo!!!!Grrrrrrrrr! So i ok'd the restore and after a couple minutes got a message that it was in revovery mode and couldn't be restored.
Help!

If it's not working and the lock button isn't functional, it's not likely you're going to get it working. Make an appointment at the genius bar and see if they can either fix the lock button or replace the phone.

Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message. After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen. I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results. I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone." Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

Hello rph30,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

How to restore my iphone 3G when is on recovery mode all the time.

My iphone 3G is always in recovery mode showing on the screem an usb pointing into and Itunes icom. I can not unlock it. How I can restore when I am using windows 7 on my pc? As well I would like to let you know that I am not sure what kind of programs I need to download to resolve my issue. I have heard about "tinyumbrella".
I have some pictures and videos that I do not want to loose. I would appreciate any kind of help to sort out my problem.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Joseph

1. The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5. Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
2. "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error." What EXACT error?
3. "i restored but some things were erased" What "things"? Did you get an error again. Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
4. Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode

My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode.
Last week i took my iphone 5 to the genius bar as it kept powering off randomly. The technician recovered my phone and instructed me to do so if the problem happens again. The technician informed me that if the problem conitued to occur, I would have to swap my phone for a new one under the 1 year warranty. Of course, on my first day of traveling on a two week work trip, my phone began powering off randomly. Upon plugging into the USB on my laptop, itunes recommended the recovery. I began the process and now my itunes reads, "waiting for iphone" after downloading updated software & extracting it. The screen on the iphone displays the apple logo and an empty status bar. This has been this way for 8 hours.
There is no genius bar near my work trip. I have 12 days remaining here with no phone. What can i do?
-Teddy

I was able to execute this process, but it still did not complete. Itunes finally went a couple of steps farther in the resotre process. It went from "extracting software" through its different phases and stopped at "verifying iphone restore with apple". It acts as if it completed the verify and then before going to the next step, it just pops up a prompt saying, " This iphone cannot be restored (error 9)".
I have repeatedly received error code 2009 until i executed this process. Seems like this was an improvement though.
Thank you and anything else???

Did 8.1 upgrade on iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data

Today October 26th I was prompted for 8.1 upgrade to fix minor bugs. Did 8.1 upgrade on my iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data. I see an itunes icon with a charger pointing to it on the screen. I plugged the pphone to the laptop and get is itunes detected iPhone in recovery mode, you must restart the phone before you update ...and the download is taking 5 hours and i have 320 mbps download speed
Apple thinks i have an older phone and need to throw it and buy their new iphone 6. if thats the case, here is my middle finger... am going with some other OS

Apple doesn't care if you buy a newer phone or not. Apple doesn't need your new iPhone purchase. There are millions of people that have properly working older iPhones that voluntarily upgrade.
Your device crashed, and it could have been caused by any number of root causes, many of them not controlled by Apple. Third party app, interruption of internet connection, interruption of power, etc.
If you came here to give the middle finger to Apple (childish behavior by the way), you're in the wrong place. Go to www.apple.com/feedback.

Hello Andyoneill9,
It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
Resolution
Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
Check your "hosts" file
After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
Open Terminal.
Enter this command and then press Return:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
Restart your computer.
Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

My iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode. i have tried to restore using itunes but it ends with a message saying there was an error and couldnt be restored

hi desperately need help. my iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode... when i try and do the restore via itunes it goes through the motions but when it gets to the end it tells me there was an error and it couldnt be restored... originally it was an ex contract phone that i had opened to orange from vodafone.. it was fine until i tried to do the ios 6 update

There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.
