Original iphone still in recovery mode.. I want to use it as an Ipod.

I recently decided to get the new Iphone 4s and so far I'm very pleased with the upgrade. I upgraded from the original Iphone with the edge network. Since the upgrade I can no longer use the original. The phone is stuck in recovery mode. I want to be able to use the original Iphone as an Ipod. I have called Apple and they told me to dowload Itunes 9.2 but when I do I am unable to install on my computer because I have the latest Itunes.
My questions is:
How do I get my original Iphone working again so I may use as a Ipod?
I've tried reinstalling the sostware in recovery mode but will not work still stuck.. I paid as we all know $500 for this phone when it first came out. I would hate to see this money go to waste and the phone just be another landfill junk.
Please help.. Thanks!

I believe if you already installed ios6 on your iphone you have no choice but to stick with ios6.
I haven't heard of anybody being able to rollback a previous ios version by doing a restore.
edit: seems you got a reply while I was trying to get my comment in

  • Original iPhone stuck in recovery mode

    Hello Everyone!
    I recently decided to clean out my fully functional original iPhone by pressing Erase All Content and Settings in the Settings App.  When the process finished, the phone was in Recovery Mode (which apparently is normal), but iTunes didn't give me an option to restore the phone.  I can see the phone under Devices, but there aren't any options:
    I tried using a Hard Reset (no change) and then put the phone in DFU mode and then iTunes went through the process of downloaded and installing the firmware (progress bar on the phone, and everything), but once it finished, the phone rebooted into Recovery Mode. 
    I loaded RecBoot, but pushing buttons doesn't seem to do anything.  I've also tried TinyUmbrella, but my only option is Enter Recovery (Exit Recovery is grayed out).  When I press Enter Recovery in TinyUmbrella, the log says "Sending enter recovery request to iPhone", but nothing seems to happen.
    One last detail -- whenever I connect the phone, it shows up in iTunes, and the message "Accessing iTunes Store..." shows up in the iTunes status window for about five seconds, but then there are no other messages. 
    Some possible clues from system.log (I've redacted some ID's):

    I also have the same problem. I am running 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.5. I am getting similar error:

    I think something has broken between AT&T and Apple iTunes Store, because I got it to (almost) re-activate, but it never was able to sync anything and I still had the recovery mode "connect to itunes" on the phone. I was stupid to do a "full wipe" on the phone before shifting it from one kid to another kid, and now I have a brick!
    I don't want to get into jailbreaking the phone just to get it to work. I keep looking for some "hidden" control-key sequences, but to no avail. I'll probably end up visiting the Apple genius bar, unless anyone has suggestions here that don't involve jailbreak.

    Hi, my iphone its in recovery mode and when i restore my iphone 5s loading show the blue screen and show note on itunes (unknown error 14) please i need your help please . thanks

    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

  • Is it all the data on the iphone is deleted when iphone is in Recovery Mode?

    is it all the data on the iphone from the past is deleted when iphone is in Recovery Mode? or is there anyway i can manage the data from the past when my iphone is in Recovery Mode?  or is it when my iphone is in Recovery Mode, all the data from the past is clear and its all fresh disk like the new iphone? is there anyway i can still acess the old data on iphone in recovery mode?

    Depends. There is no supported method, from Apple, to exit recovery mode, other than restoring your phone. That, of course, means that all data on your phone gets erased. There are third-party utilities, like RecBoot, that claim to be able to get an iPhone in/out of recovery mode with the push of a button. You can search for these yourself.

  • TS3694 iphone 4 in recovery mode error (-1)

    hey

    i try to restore it by the itunes. in the first, the error is 2 and now the error is (-1).
    help me please

    From the article that this thread was started from:
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Fix iPhone 4S in recovery mode after updating from IOS5 to 6.1.3

    How do i get my iPhone 4S out of recovery mode without losing all my data? I am not very tech savvy and too scared to do anything without instruction. My phone went into recovery mode when updating from IOS5 to 6.1.3 (or whatever was the latest yesterday). Oh how I wish I hadn't. I think I want my IOS5 back!
    Can I use Google Maps on 6.1.3?

    Okay I have read that info but the iTunes sreens I am experiencing has different messages.
    1st = iTunes has dectected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore the iPhone before it can be used in iTunes.
    2nd = iPhone is in recovery mode. Restore
    3rd = Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone "iPhone" to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of iPhone software will be installed.
    iTunes will verify the restore with Apple. After this process is complete, you will have the option to restore your contacts, calendars, text messaes and other settings.
    .. now will my music, apps and photos be saved too? Here are the three messages.. you can see that the iTunes settings/screen configuation is not like those in the tutorial in the link. There is nothing in my "summary" and no restore to back up shown at this point. So I am wary to proceed.
    Thanks again to my helpers. Also I don't mind if the whole update was aborted.

  • HT6058 iPhone put into Recovery Mode after updating to 7.0.4, and now iTunes can't restore it from my computer. What do I do?

    Once my iPhone 4 updated the iOS to 7.0.4, it immediately went into Recovery Mode, with the iTunes symbol. I plugged it into my computer, and it says I need to restore the iPhone. I click Restore, but in says it can't connect because of my network connection. I've followed every troubleshooting issue from the support section related that issue, but it STILL won't connect and download the recovery.
    What do I do to get my iPhone fixed? And why did 7.0.4 cause this?

    Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
    First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
    Step 1. Turn off iPhone
    Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
    Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
    Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
    If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode.

  • Just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode !!! please somebody tell me that I did not loose all my pics and videos !!!

    Please somebody help me !!!! I just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode. I can't loose all my pics and videos from my vacations ??????????????????????????????????

    NOO it's not broken it is a software error. What you need to do is put your phone into what is called DFU mode or Device Firmware Upgrade Mode. What you have to do is connect your phone to itunes but do not start the sync process. Ignore any popups from itunes initially. When you are connected to itunes take your phone and hold down the home button and power button at the same time. Hold them down for about 30 seconds or so and you should see your device screen rollover to the black screen and disconnect from itunes once this happens it will reboot and automatically connect to iTunes, after this happens start the restore process through itunes and it should continue past the error message.
    * Also before you do this try ejecting your sim card if you have the at&t model if you are on Verizon ignore this. There is a small oval port on the right side of the phone with a small pinhole. Use a paperclip and insert it into the hole, the door will pop open. Take the door out, remove the sim card and wait 5 minutes then return the sim card back into the phone and begin the above process.
    If none of this works you may just want to bring it the genius bar and have them look at it. Good Luck and I hope this helps!

  • HT201210 Iphone stuck in recovery mode!

    I unplugged prematurely before update was finished, and that sent my Iphone 4S into recovery mode. I don't want to restore b/c I haven't backed up in about 2 weeks. I've tried RecBoot. Also tried holding sleep and home button down simultaneously. Neither worked. I'm in a rush to fix this. Can anyone help?!
