Phone stuck in recovery even after restore :(

hi guys, i just bought an iphone 3g in italy for like.. 3 weeks now, i've already downloaded alot of programs from the app store so it was kinda slowing down a bit, and since im lazy to reorganize them, i ended up using the restore function from the itunes.. after that.. my phone went crazy and is currently stuck in the recovery mode thingy.. there's a picture of a cable and itunes... i tried using restore again but it doesnt work at all....
i havnt seen anything like this in this forum or over the site's i've visited... i hope u guys can help or atleast give me a clue on whats going on..
thanks guys...

Received excellent tech. support from Apple on this issue and after a full day of screwing around was able to get our Iphone up and working again without many of the aps and contacts that we have recently added. I'm an older guy and this reminds me of my early windows experience and not what I would expect from Apple. This is not a comment on the quality of the tech support but on the software glitches. Get it right guys or someone is on your heels who will!

Phone stuck in recovery mode after Update

So, last month my phone got stuck in recovery mode while I was on vacation, saying I needed to insert a sim card. There was already a sim card in it, eventually it just stopped working & would not let me restore. I took it to Apple & they replaced it.
Just tonight it popped up telling me there was a new update, so I updated it. @ the very end, it said update failed.. blah blah recovery mode error 1013. Same error I got last time. I don't get it? Why does this keep happening to me? I purchased a new macbook pro back in August, could this have something to do with it?
Thanks

NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!
Both my daughter and I had the same problem on different computers. Hers is an iPhone 4 and mine, a 5. Both got caught in recovery mode. I did follow the above mention troubleshooting however to no avail. Took it into the Apple shop yesterday and they restored it back to the factory setting for 6.0.1. Lost all of my content on the phone.
The Genisus stated that is it a Windows problem.
Yes, I agree, that Apple has lowered their delivery and service. It is true, that Apple is the new Microsoft, that it is ok to have problems when upgrading and when it hangs, just reload.
AVOID THE UPGRADE AT ALL COSTS.

IOS 8.1.3 get stuck into recovery mode after restoring

AAfter updating my iPhone 5s to the newest iOS it went into revovery mode and everytime I try restoring it it will just get suck into recovery mode

Honestly, If you are stuck in recovery mode. I would visit the nearest apple store and meet genius specialist to get you squared away. They may get you over this hump or simply swap out your device if is a hardware issue. I'm sorry you are faced with this issue.

Phone stuck in Recovery Mode - cannot restore (error code 9)

Help. I tried to update my iPhone to the latest software and instead of doing this it has now gone in to Recovery Mode (with the yellow triangle and the message to connect to iTunes). When I reconnect it to iTunes it tells me that I have to restore the phone. iTunes then tries to do this but it is unable to complete, Stating "An unkown error occurred (9)."
Any ideas on how to bring my phone back to life?

I had the same thing happen. After reinstalling itunes and trying lots of things with Applecare over the phone, they put in a repair order and are sending me the packaging to send it in with. The computer could see the phone, but the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to Itunes.

I phone stuck on recovery mode after i update for 7.1.1

hi,
after i updated my phone for 7.1.1 it only shows on the screen to connect to i tune.///is there a way i can remove recovery mode without missing al my setting on my phone?

Hello dreams1
If it is in recovery mode, then no you can escape or bypass it and you would need to use iTunes to restore it. Once that is complete, if you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud, then you can put that back up back on.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Iphone stuck in recovery mode after restoring

Ok, so I was having the "searching..." signal for a long time, and then I decided to restore, after the restoration was done the iphone entered into recovery mode, i tried restoring again many times with no success, itunes keeps giving me an error (-1). The iphone is not jailbroken.

i really dont know what can cause it... best guess, somehow the iOS is not being saved correctly on the device...

I can't turn it on at all when I try pressing the lock button it looks as if it's going to turn on with the apple sign in the middle but then goes back to the symbols.

Ipod Touch 2g stuck in recovery mode after restore, no error msgs

Help, please. I have an Ipod Touch 2generation that was my older sons and I wanted to restore it to factory to give to his younger brother. I get the message that is was restored successfully (Windows 7, no error messages or codes from Itunes) but when that message goes away and the ipod shows back up in itunes is still says its in recovery mode. I've tried different usb cables, different usb ports, turning off my anti-virus firewall protection, using a different pc (Windows Vista) and still the same thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring it:

IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.
