  • TS3694 Phone stuck in Recovery Mode. HELP PLEASE!!!

    My iPhone 3GS recently went into recovery mode and has refused to exit. I tried the button commands to make it come back, but it's stuck in recovery mode. Whenever I try to reset its programming to factory settings using iTunes, an error always appears as it is installing firmware. i have no other clue as to how to fix my iPhone. Please help...

  • Phone stuck in Recovery Mode Iphone 4s.

    Hey guys, recently my iphone 4s had some difficulties and it wasnt able to pick up my service provider.  The bar was just stuck on "Searching" but all other applications worked except messaging and calling.  It was not my provider's or SIM card's fault because I had it checked and it was all working and I was directed to an apple store.  At the store I was told to first update my phone to the newest IOS (July 2, 2013) and if that did not, I should try restoring my phone to factory settings.  When I attempted to update my IOS to 6.0.3 it gave me an error "Update has failed due to an unknown error" (-1) and it automatically put my phone into recovery mode.  So i plugged my phone into my Itunes (newest version) and it tells me my phone is stuck in recovery mode and I have to restore it.  I attempt to restore it and it gives me the same error "Restore has failed due to an unknown error" (-01) and now its stuck in recovery mode.  I cannot get it out of recovery mode and I don't even know if it would fix my Phone's inability to pick up a Service Provider. 
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thank You
    David

    Hello Puppetbasher,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    That definitely sounds frustrating. The following article outlines restore error -1:

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode- Itunes not recognizing phone so cant' restore

    Please help. Im snowed in with no phone. I accidentally tried to update my 3gs to the latest software before updating my itunes. Now it is stuck in "recovery mode" showing the itunes logo and cord icon.
    So I successfully updated itunes but it does not recognize my phone. I have tried restarting the computer, hard starting my phone, changed usb ports. When i plug the phone into the usb, my computer recognizes it and launches the "new hardware wizard". I tried having windows find the software but it never finds anything.
    im not sure what else to do. I cant even get apple to help because i don't have a phone.

    If all else fails, try the steps I listed in my post below:

    I had the same problem, after a few days of troubleshooting this was what finally got me working again!

  • My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode, help?

    A few hours ago, I tried updating my 5th generation iPod touch to iOS 8. It ran into an error and couldn't update, which left my iPod touch stuck in recovery mode with a screen showing a USB cord pointing to an iTunes symbol. I tried searching for ways to get my iPod out of recovery mode without restoring it to its factory settings, but after a couple hours of seeking, I decided I might as well just restore it. I clicked the restore button, and when it finished, it said that my iPod touch couldn't be restored either. Now, I have no clue what to do. May I have some help?

    That error is covered here:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
    If iTunes can’t communicate with the update server, you may see one of these messages.

  • Phone Stuck In Recovery Mode

    Like the idiot I am, I decided to upgrade the software of my iPhone to the 4.0 version. I first had to download the most recent version of iTunes...no problem there.
    When I tried to download the new iPhone software everything froze up. It went through "Extracting Software" then "Verifying iPhone Restore With Apple" then "Preparing iPhone For Restore" and a bunch of other little screens. When it got to "Restoring iPhone Software" it froze...status bar on the computer got almost all the way to the end and the status bar on the iPhone got about 1/3 of the way across.
    It stayed like that for about 10 hours. I unplugged the phone from the computer, shut it down, and when I turned it back on it has a photo of a USB and an arrow pointing to an iTunes thumbnail.
    I plugged the phone back into iTunes and I got a message saying the phone is in "Recovery Mode" and it instructs me to do a "Restore." When I click the "Restore" button it goes through all the same stuff, with the same result...freezes up at the same place as it did before.
    I've tried this about 8 times now with the same result. My iPhone is now unusable. Were I in the U.S. I would take it to the store and demand a refund (it's only about 5 days old). However, I'm in Afghanistan and so I can't do much about it.
    Can anyone help me out? Is there any way I can get my phone working again...would be nice to be able to talk to my family again.
    Thanks!

    Ok so I fixed the problem. After receiving error 14 I went into the directory where the update is stored (Apple folder on my pc) and deleted the software update file. Then I emptied my recycle bin. Launched iTunes and redownloaded the update again. When my phone attempted to restore itself it hung up 1/4 of the way thru and sat that way overnight. When I unplugged the phone this morning I got error 14 again.
    This is what I did to fix it this morning:
    1) went back into the directory and deleted the software update file
    2) deleted my recycle bin
    3) rebooted my computer
    4) launched iTunes again with my phone plugged in (I did move it to another USB port but I'm not sure that had anything to do with it working this time since I had used that same cord and port when updating my iPad last night and had no problems with it working)
    5) iTunes prompted me that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to restore. I selected "update and restore" and it went thru the process with no problems.
    I hope this help others that have a similar problem as this is very frustrating to me. Good Luck!

  • 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.

  • Ipod Stuck in Recovery mode help!!!

    my ipod was fine, working brilliantly, tll a few days ago, it had a white screen, that said "connect to computer and restore in itunes" in many different languages. so i did, but itunes didn't pick up my ipod. so forced it into disk mode, and itunes recgognised it, and the message "Itunes as detected an ipod in recovery mode, you must restore this Ipod before it can be used with itunes" came up. so having restored it, i reconnected it, and the whole thing repeated itself, now my ipod maybe stuck in recovery mode, as every time i restore and connect, the same message comes up...

    Sorry, must pay more attention to the profiles:>) Unfortunately that link is the only one I know of that refers to the recovery mode problem. I'll have another dig around and if I find anything else I'll let you know. The only other thing I can think of is to run Disk Utility repair on your iPod and see if that helps. It's a shot in the dark I'm afraid.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes.

  • 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

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Error 6: All of the steps in this article apply to resolve this issue. Following iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 ) frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. If your default packet size is set incorrectly it can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.

    Also try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode with no backups

    HALP
    I was trying to update my iphone to the newest version just yesterday (27/2/2015) and my phone is stuck in recovery mode.
    I've yet to make any backups yet so I can't simply restore it to get it out of the recovery mode.
    Is there any ways I can get outta of it without losing my data? Like can I drain out the battery or something?
    I tried hard reset, tinyumbrella, Fonepaw, but it doesn't seems to do the job.
    All it does is restart my phone and it gets back to the " connect to itunes" screen.
    There wasn't any pop-up asking if I would like to backup my data too when I click on the restore button on itunes, thus i cancel it.
