Phone recognized only in recovery mode

What would make iTunes for windows 7 recognize iPhone in recovery mode, but not to proceeded with restore, stopping on the "snow cane".
Completely not recognize restored iPhone, not even by windows auto play. iTunes diagnostics runs with everything fine, just like device was never connected.
Current security either uninstalled or disabled. Restore times out with error 1611. There seem to be remnants of Kaspersky, but no access, Just some files with that name.

b, if you could look into that one?

Tried to update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. My only option now is to restore my iPhone and lose media. However, I then tried to restore my iPhone and error 1603 occurred. My iPhone is now not working!?!?!

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well.

When updating my phone that took hrs caused my phone to go into recovery mode and deleted everything and wont restore to back up

Hi, i just updated my itunes and my iphone through my laptop i couldnt update on my phone because i didnt have enough space so i used itunes which took hrs, when it finally updated i guess, my phone was stuck in recovery mode so i held the home and off button and nothing helped, so i went on my laptop and it requested to reset or restore so i did what was prompted which caused my phone to be reset to factory settings which was ok because i had already backed up my phone BUT once i searched for current saved backup their wasnt any recent ones which means i lost everything; pictures, contacts, etc from this stupid update and i only have backups from 2012 for oct and sept which doesnt make any sence because i had way more and plus my phone is set to automatically sync and my current back up in january and febuary of this year are missing, so can someone explain to me what happen? oh and when i try to restore a old backup it goes back to current backup which is nothing important but apps that i could care less about.

I have the same problem (my iTunes logo is red)....... stuck in recovery mode.

HT201263 I have an Apple 4S 'phone that is in recovery mode. There a number of videos I would like to recover.

I have an Apple 4S 'phone in recovery mode. There are some videos I would like to recover. How is this done?
What would have caused the phone to go into recovery mode;it is only 2 years old.
Thanks,

Unless you backed up the phone before it went into recovery mode, there will be no way to recover the data on your phone. You have to restore the iOS via iTunes, and everything on the phone gets deleted. If you have a backup, it can be restored after restoring the iOS - otherwise SOL
There's no way for anyone here to determine what caused the recovery mode. The most common reasons are hacking/jailbreaking and any type of data corruption (to which all computing devices are vulnerable).

Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

I started the newest update for my phone but when it started installing it to the phone, a error message showed up and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes wont recognize it. what do i do?

Any numbers or other details on the mesages given?
Did you try to connect in recovery mode again? iOS: Unable to update or restore
In case your network connection timed out, check your security software settings: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

My phone is stuck in recovery mode. Are my photos and videos that weren't downloaded lost?

I've been lazy about updating my phone. I plugged it into my computer tonight, the prompt came up and I absentmindedly clicked OK, you get the picture. It claims the update failed and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I can't believe I didn't back up my phone before I did this - I just wasn't thinking. Have I lost all my videos and pictures?

They should have been part of the backup. If you have already restored from the backup and they are not present on the phone, then they are gone. If you have not yet attempted to restore, just restore already... you don't have any other choice. Debating whether something will be there or not is pointless. It will, or it won't. discussing it won't change that.

Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work! It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

From TS3694:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
