Phone stuck in recovery mode error code 40 and would not restore

My Iphone 3GS stuck in recovery mode error code 40 and would not restore.I was with AT & T.Please help!

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode - Error 3194 on iTunes?

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 5 for nearly 2 years now (it's due an upgrade thankfully!), I have no problems usually updating my phone to the latest software, however last night when my phone let me know I could download iOS 8, I did so. The screen then froze on what seems to be the recovery mode, it just shows an image telling me to connect to iTunes. I made sure I had the up to date version of iTunes and upon connecting to the computer, it comes up saying iPhone cannot be reocgnised and that in order to proceed with the update I have to restore the phone to factory settings. Me and my boyfriend tried various apps such as Reiboot and TinyUmbrella to get it out of recovery mode first, but had no luck. Therefore I came to the conclusion to click 'Restore to factory settings' and twice it gave me the message 'Error 319'4 - restoration unsuccessful etc etc.. what does this mean? I tried putting it into DFU mode but the pc would still not recognise it. I do not understand what's happened!! I was going to go down to my local EE store to find out but am now thinking they won't be able to do much, and my local Apple store is about 15 miles away - so any help on here would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi AmberX92,
If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Apple iPhone 4 stuck in Recovery Mode (Error 1611). Any Suggestions

My iPhone 4 (16 GB) is in recovery mode (or DFU mode), but it seems to be stuck in it. For the last two days it has been telling me to connect to iTunes and when I do it tells me, "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone it can be used with iTunes". So I press restore and it asks me if I wish to Restore and Update; I agreed. I attempted the restore, but something went wrong. It goes through the "extracting software" stage fine, but when it says "Preparing iPhone for restore", the screen flashes white for a half a second or so and then it tries to start over. iTunes then leaves me with this message, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1611)."
I have tried to get it out of Recovery Mode several times through YouTube tutorials and other websites, but when I attempt to do this, it will just go back to the "Connect to iTunes" screen. It will not respond to anything unless it is plugged into my laptop (I'm almost certain of this, I cannot be completley sure because the screen is just black if not connected). I have tried several different USB cords, re-installed iTunes and Apple programs on my computer and even made a new user account on my laptop. (I'm using Windows 7). This phone has never been Jailbroken and nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned, except the occasional time the home button would not respond.
Before this happened, everything was working fine. Earlier in the week I got the Zagg InvisibleShield applied to my iPhone and everything was working great. On the night before this happened, my battery was extremely low and I used the Apple wall charger to charge it for the night (the USB cord was torn though).
Any Suggestions Would Be Appreciated!

Here are Apple steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1611
Make sure you have a perfect USB cable. Maybe try to charge the battery before proceeding again.
If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
Error 1611 has been associated with the iPhones inability to hold the Restore Mode (mode where iTunes writes to iPhone) this can be due to anything. Restore Mode does need a good functioning battery to proceed. You describe some vague battery issues.
If you do not take the iPhone to Apple for help, the next step would be battery replacement.

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode, error message 1611 when trying to restore.

I bought a 2nd generation ipod touch from someone on CL and it appeared to me that it just needed to be plugged into the computer and be synced with itunes. But its stuck in recovery mode. When I plug it into my computer, itunes says it sees the ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Sout t I click on restore and it tries to restore it, but then it stops in the process and gives me error message 1611. I looked up this error message and it has to do with system security. I messed with my security settings and I still get this message. I tried using my home computer instead of my laptop and it still gave me the same message. Ive also tried holding down the power and home button for several seconds and it still goes back to recovery and gives me the same error message when I try to restore it. Also, itunes recognizes my ipod, but my computer does not.. Can anyone help me? Do I just have to bring the ipod into an apple store and have them figure it out? Thanks in advance!

Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

CANNOT restore, CANNOT get out of recovery mode (ERROR 3194)

I was trying to update my 3GS to the latest IOS version and it went into recovery mode. I try and restore it and error pop up appears saying that I cannot restore due to ERROR 3194.
I've tried the SYSTEM32 trick, I've installed the new iTunes, I DIDNT JAILBREAK, I've tried taking my anti-virus offline while I restore. NOTHING works. I consider myself pretty smart with computers, but I'm getting desperate now as you can see.
If this happend to you, last resort what would you do if you could never get it out? Get a new phone? Is there a way I could get one for this? I just want to listen to music and text again.
Thank you for your time

Make certain that iTunes is really the current iTunes. If that is correct, I would restore my iPhone on a different computer which has the current iTunes installed.

Iphone 3g stuck in recovery mode(error 14) after failed 3.2.1 update

My Iphone is stuck in recovery mode after it failed to update to operating system 3.2.1 . When I press restore in itunes, the process stops at around the 20% mark and come up with error 14. I have already manually deleted and redownloaded the update 4 times, reinstalled itunes twice and created a new user on my pc and downloaded and update through this new user and disabled all security but I still keep getting the same error message. My pc is only six months old. I successfully updated the phone to operating system 3.1 a few months ago with no problems. Has anyone found a way to fix this?? This is ridiculous!!

This is the only way to make sure you've uninstalled itunes completely:
1. Restart your computer.
2. After the computer restarts, open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your programs are installed on.
3. Open the Program Files folder.
4. Right-click the iTunes folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if iTunes was successfully removed.
5. Right-click the iPod folder, choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
6. Right-click the QuickTime folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
7. Right-click the Bonjour folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
8. Open the Common Files folder.
9. Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
10. Open Local Disk (C:) located in Computer or whichever hard disk your operating system is installed on.
11. Open the Windows folder.
12. Open the System32 folder.
13. Right-click the QuickTime file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
14. Right-click the QuickTimeVR file (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
15. Right-click the Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recycle Bin.

TS3694 iphone 4 in recovery mode error (-1)

hey
i have iphone 4 in recovery mode.
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.

Unable enter recovery mode: Error 3F0

HP ENVY DV7T-7200
Windows 8 64-bit
Hi:
I just got the laptop above on Friday from my cousin (who wanted something MORE when this is an amazing computer as it is but I digress)... But since I didn't want his user files, name and software on there, I tried to do a recovery (which I chose the minimized option).
Sorry if this paragraph is vague, but I was half-asleep LOL... When it went halfway through, it gave me an error message about something to the tune of a software unable to be installed, which then was force-closed when I hit "retry", then there a sysprep dialog box that won't go away every time I restarted. When I try to restart it, it always boots into a blue menu that makes me choose my keyboard layout, then into something that gives me 6 choices, and would reboot to that same screen until I chose Windows 8 instead of a 3-letter choice.
However, when I rebooted and went into Disk Management, it was something like this:
| 1MB | 100GB C:\ | 1MB | 500GB unallocated | 1MB | Recovery (I think 25GB) | 1 MB | 3 GB unallocated | 1MB |
...I've had 2 HP laptops and 1 desktop before this and never saw anything like this, nor did a friend's Windows 8 Toshiba with similar specs have this problem, so I repartitioned it to merge all the unallocated/1MB slots with Easeus, but it crashed halfway through trying to merge it all with C:\ , then it rebooted before I could even see what the error message was, and now it's giving me a 3F0 error and won't let me into recovery mode via F11 or any WinPE / recovery disc I downloaded.
HP has agreed to fix this under warranty despite my goofs, but I REALLY need this computer for the weekend and can't afford to be without it for a week since lots of things on my DV9000 are starting to freeze/lag (it literally takes 45 seconds to open Chrome, I can't open Photoshop/Flash and have an urgent design project), and I was wondering if there are any steps I can take before the warranty box arrives.
Sorry for the long message, but I was trying my best to be specific. Thanks for your time!

Still haven't received my CSO box, and it's been 2 days! Any solutions?

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode (Error 2006 (Mac) 2009 (Windows)

Hi everyone, my iPhone 5 has just randomly stopped working. It's out of warranty so Apple won't help at all. The screen just wouldn't turn on at all so I opened it up and checked out all the connections and somehow I got the screen on, when plugged in it shows an iTunes logo so I plugged it into my computer and it said it was in recovery mode. I try to restore and I get Error 2006 on my Mac and Error 2009 on my windows computer. I have tried all different ports and all different lightning connectors to no avail. I have also replaced the battery which didn't help.
I'm thinking it is the charging port but I'm not sure. Does it seem like I should replace that?

ITunes fails to restore phone in recovery mode "Error 4013"

Here is the deal, iPhone 5 was working all day today, then battery died and when I got home, I plugged it in, but it never powered up!
I hooked to my MacBook and did a hard reset and while holding down the home bottom, I plugged the USB in, iTunes has detected the iPhone in recovery mode, so I go into the restoring it process, iTunes extracts the software and starts looking for the iPhone, but never finds it. I'm outta warranty, please help!
Error 4013

Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
