- Recovery Mode Loop... - iTunes Error (9) -

- Hi -
- my iPhone 3GS is Stuck on this Recovery Mode Loop... - i Have Never JailBroken nor Unlocked my Device - It was Purchased Unlocked - but 2 Days ago Whilst Trying to Send an SMS the iPhone Crashed & Now Continually Enters Recovery Mode -
- When i Switch the Device on or Plug it in to a PC or my iMac via USB It Seems to Enter Recovery Mode (Connect to iTunes Icon) Somewhat Slower than Any Similarly Troubled Devices that i Have seen in Video on the Internet - it stays on the Apple Boot Logo for a Longer Time than Any of the Other Devices i Have Seen -
- i am Not Able to Restore the Device via iTunes... -
- i Attempt the Restore... - Go Through the Process of Verifying the iPhone with Apple - Download & Extract the Software - All Seems to Be Going Well... - then Repeatedly it Get's to a Stage Where it Says - Waiting for iPhone - then the iPhone Crashes - Returns to Apple Logo - & then the Recovery Mode Loop Continues -
- Following the iPhone Crash - iTunes Presents an Error Message (9) - Which i've Found to Mean There is Something Wrong with a USB Connection... - but i've Tried All the Suggestions from the Apple Support Page - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS127... -
- Switching USB Ports - Switching Cables - Even Tried it on a PC Running Windows 7 as Opposed to my iMac... -
- but No Matter Where i attempt the Restore... - Unknown Error (9) -
- i Tried Using - iRecovery - & was Able to Run that Application... - but it Did Not Fix this Problem -
- However - iRecovery - Did Give me the Following Feedback - Through the - TERMINAL - Application on my iMac... -

- i Recommend Making an Appointment at the - Genius Bar... - though i Understand that this Can Be an Issue in itself as Certainly for me Being Resident in the UK there is a Lack of Apple Stores in Close Proximity & It Requires Something of a Day-Trip & Planning to Make an Appointment & Be Seen -
- It Did However Seem to Resolve my Problem... - as the New Hand-Set Seems to Be Running Well so Far... - though i Have Experienced Some Problems with the Volume of the Device During Calls - though that may be a Fault Other than the - 3Gs - Itself - i.e a Bad Connection/Line -

Help! ipad stuck in recovery mode after itunes error 6

so I was gonna update my ipad 3 from 6.1.2 I think, to 7.0.4 but I got the error 6 in itunes. now my ipad is showing the connect to itunes symbol and itunes wants to restore my ipad, which I wouldn't wanna if there was any chance to get it out of that frickin mode. I've tried anything I could find on the internet, like several tools such as tiny umbrella, redsn0w, ireb (which said my device wasn't supported cause of the A5) etc. but after rebooting the connect to itunes comes on again.
so if there is any method left that might work for me, pleeeease help me
a restore is the last thing I wann do, of course I have a backup and so on but it takes so much time to get all my stuff back on and everything

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
After you have Recovered your Device...

Ipod Touch Recovery Mode Loop - Error Code 14

I attempted to update my Ipod Touch (3rd Gen 32 GB) to the latest firmware (IOS 5 i think). It froze during the process and has since been stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. I have followed all recommendations on their website, called Apple support and re-installed all Apple related software, and even been to the Genius Bar in our local Apple shop, and it still broken!! They said that as it was out of Warranty (six months) and had a 'Hardware fault' i could buy a replacement for £120. I tried to argue with the shop staff and higher level customer support staff on the phone that my Ipod was working just fine before attempting to update the firmware so how could it be a hardware fault??
Is it just me or the fact that as soon as the one year warranty is up, Apple expect you to replace your faulty item with a new one. So much for good quality goods, can we expect Apple products to last just over a year and then be expected to buy a replacement!!
Isn't the fact that i have been offered a new Ipod Touch 32GB for only £120 pounds an admission that the product has some fault issues??
Anyone else in this position?
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Anyone else disappointed with Apple Customer Support?

I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode. The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again."

I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
Please advise.
I have tried all the steps in the apple support.

There is nothing to backup.
If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

HT1414 Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

A quick Google search for Error 2001 would indicate that this occurs when you have a jailbroken phone or were trying to downgrade iOS. Is that true for you?

Not much you can do. Your phone is most likely permanently "bricked" Error 1015 occurs when trying to restore a previously jailbroken phone. This usually leaves the phone in a state where it can not be recovered as you are experiencing.

IPhone 5s on recovery mode loop after water damage

A couple days ago I fell asleep and my cat knocked over some water on my desk, and my phone was submerged in maybe a tablespoon of water.
When I woke up I noticed there were water smudges inside the screen, but everything was working correctly so I just left it alone.
The next day my home button started acting up and not working, and today the home button pretty much does not work at all, and voice control keeps coming on every 10 seconds or so.
I decided to try to do a hard reset before taking it into the Apple store (probably a dumb mistake) and now it is stuck on a recovery mode loop.
I do the restore and every time it's finished, the phone tells me to plug it into iTunes again and that it's in recovery mode.
Do you think the water has totally messed up my phone and it won't come back on? The only thing that was messed up on my phone before I did the hard reset was the home button. Is there anything else I can do to get it back on? At this point I don't really care if I don't get my backup loaded, would just like to have a somewhat working phone.
Thanks.

Hi, djab12.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps on how to resolve update error 3004.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.

My iPhone 3Gs is stuck in Recovery Mode. My phone has never been jailbroken. What can I do to get it out of the Recovery Mode loop?

My iPhone 3Gs went into Recovery Mode yesterday when I got home. When I plug it into my computer iTunes opens and gives me this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I click the "Restore iPhone" button and wait while iTunes reinstalls the software on the iPhone. As soon as the install is done, I get the same message again "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I'm stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. How do I get out?
This iPhone has never been jailbroken. After a litte research on line I saw some people got stuck in Recovery Mode after a jailbreak, but this is not the case here. Please help.

IPhone 4 Recovery Mode Loop PLEASE HELP ASAP

My iPhone 4 is stuck in a Recovery mode loop ever since I updated to iOS 6. I am using a mac running 10.8.3 with the latest iTunes. When it is connected to my computer iTunes pops up and says "An iPhone in recovery mode has been connected, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then I click restore and update and it goes through with the whole process then i get the unknown error -1 and an iPhone that is still in recovery mode:(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I called them and they said that they needed my serial number wich i do not have because my device is in recovery mode.

Endless "Recovery Mode" loop on my iPhone 5.

Last night I decided to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.0.3. I connected my phone to my PC using the lightning cable and opened up iTunes, which prompted me to update my iOS. I hit "Cancel" so I could do a sync and backup before updating (as I always do). I then went back to the phone summary page and clicked the button to update the phone. It took about 40 minutes to download the update and after it downloaded, it failed. My phone went into Recovery Mode (picture of cable pointing to iTunes symbol). The summary page now prompted an alert saying that it has detected a phone in Recovery Mode and will need to be restored before being used. I hit "Ok" and then hit the "Restore iPhone" button. I got the warning that all data will be lost and I agreed to the terms of iOS 7.0.3 etc. The download then began. At the end of the download, nothing happenes at all. No error message appears. The phone screen simply goes black and then the Recovery Mode screen appears again. Once again, I am prompted to restore the phone. I have restored six times now and everytime it does the same thing. It is an endless loop.
I have tried different methods such as using a different lightning cable, different USB ports on my PC, and holding the power button and home screen to force it out of Recovery methods. My wife has the extact same phone and hers updated fine on my PC.
Any suggestions?

Re: Endless "Recovery Mode" loop on my iPhone 5. in response to MFothy
I was having this same problem (endless recovery mode loop) but I also have a broken Home button, so I'm not able to enter DFU mode. The fix for me was to go through the recovery, but after it restores the firmware, iTunes will tell you to leave the phone connected to your computer while it reboots.
If I leave it connected, the phone re-enters recovery mode. But, if I unplug the phone at this point (during the reboot) the phone goes to the Welcome screen and I can set it up again. If I try to restore from the iTunes backup, I get put back into recovery mode, but if I restore from iCloud backup, everything works.
So, in short:
Plug in the phone, start the recovery
After firmware is installed (while the phone is rebooting), unplug from the computer
Restore backup from iCloud, not iTunes
I have been messing with this for hours now, I finally came across your response. This worked like a charm, thank you so much!!!

1 week old iPhone4 stuck in Recovery mode loop

Hi there
today when I connected my ip4, iTunes asked me to download and install the latest iOS 4.0.2, after that it went into a recovery mode loop and I cant do muh more. I have so far tried to restore using 3 other pc´s, xp and Win7. Tried different USB cable, disable firewall/antivirus, but nothing helps. I am constantly getting an error 9, but I have seen error 2009 and 3194 as well (tried about 10 times so far).
Dont know what else to try
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I had same problem. When upgraded to 4.0.1 I had to take it to apple store to be reset. Tried everything. When it happened with 4.0.2 they gave me a new phone. Sadly I had to reload 30g of music/movie/app twice. Glad I have a better option if it happens next time.
