Recovery mode loop please help(wont let me restore)

I need help. About two hours ago i tried updating my iphone 4, ios 7 to the latest firmware. I tried doing this straight from my device. after several minutes my device seemed to be frozen.  I read online to put it in recovery mode. after i did this my iphone says it needs to be connected to itunes. so i did that and it told me i needed to restore my device since it was in recovery mode. after searching the internet, I found that no one is experiencing what I am. So i decided to try and restore my iphone.  However, an error popped up (Error 3194) I have tried multiple times to restore it and it still wont work. any ideas or anything that could help? I really dont want to buy a new iphone.

yeah, this happened to me. Except I got a different Error message. I tried everything. I even gave it to my friend who is a Tech at Apple Co. He said, that it's basically not responding to the update/restore and it's an update error. They are unable to do anything unless it's under warranty. Which for me...it isn't. So I had to go to my provider and get a new phone. I got the Samsung, and now I cannot recieve text messages from some iPhone users. Which is another Apple issue. -__________- Good luck!

  • 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.

    Your BEST bet is to go to an Apple store and let them recover your phone.

  • 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.

  • Iphone in recovery mode? PLEASE HELP

    Hello everyone. the iOS 8 update came out today and I wanted to download the update through my computer onto my iPhone 5s. i plugged in my phone and it said backing up and all. It then said Validating update and my iPhone went to the white screen with the apple logo and the bar started moving. As my phone was updating, it was almost finished when something came up that said it couldn't be downloaded, because I had an older version of iTunes. The iPhone still plugged in, I downloaded the new version of iTunes. (11.4) Then I unplugged my phone. I plugged it back in and it said that my phone was in recovery mode and it needed to be restored to factory settings before I can do anything. I am so worried that I will lose everything. I didn't click restore yet because I am afraid I will lose all my photos(over 9,000) and everthing else I have on there. If I click restore iPhone, and it goes back to factory settings, i'll have iOS 8 but what about all my content? Will the option to back up everything from when i first plugged it in be there? I'm scared to click restore and not be able to restore from backup. I can't do anything on iTunes but click restore. If i go to file, devices, it wont let me click restore from backup. If I restore back to factory settings to get out of recovery mode, will i be able to back up all my content? PLEASE HELP. I know for a fact it was backed up a few hours ago, it says exactly when. If I hit restore iPhone, and everything goes back to factory settings and I have the new update, will I be able to Restore from backup? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Sozanalmohammad12
    Restoring your iPhone is your only option to get it back up. You can check for that back up that happened before you originally tried to update.

  • 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode' loop. Help?

    On Friday I plugged in my iPod touch (4g) to download the new ios 5 (from 4.3.5), but about when it reached about 4 minutes remaining, the error message 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before using it with iTunes.' appeared. I've tried restoring it about 10 times now, the closest being  just 2 seconds away from finishing.
    The iPod has the screen on the usb pointing to the iTunes symbol.
    It does NOT show up under computer, or under disk management, so I don't know if i can change the drive letter. If there are alternatives, please let me know!
    I've tried using another computer and different users - all of which comes up with the same error, so I'm thinking that it is the iPod that is the issue.
    When i attempt to restore it it says it should take around 15 minutes, but usually the error comes up within the last 5 minutes.
    The iPod info just says Name: iPod
                                      Capacity: n/a
                                      Software version: n/a
                                      Serial number: n/a
    Really don't know what to do, any help is appreciated.

    Unfortunately not yet. Any thoughts on this are useful...

  • How to get out of Recovery Mode? Please help!!

    Hello all,
    I have a Nomad Muvo^2 that is stuck in Reocvery Mode. Turns out that when i loaded recovery mode, i didn't really need it cuz it was just my computer that was messed up. Now with a new computer and me being able to access the E dri've for it and see its contents, i can't get out of Recovery Mode. When i turn my player on it reads this message:
    Recovery Mode v.00
    Then it lists the different options like PC Scandisk, etc...
    How can i get out of it's
    Could someone please help me?
    Also could i use the Recovery Tool for it even though my specific type of player is not listed?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    What happens when you select the Clean Up option?
    Refer to this article for more information on the recovery mode options. The recovery tool is not compatible with this player.

  • Iphone 3GS is stuck in recovery mode? Please help!

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS and my phone is currently stuck in recovery mode after trying to update iOS 4.1 to iOS 5.01.
    When i connect my phone to itunes, i click on "Restore" and iTunes then tells me it will restore to the latest version (5.01). After this version has downloaded it processes the file but then does nothing and does not attempt to install the file. I have then tried it again (6 or 7) times and exactly the same thing happens each time.
    I have tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall itunes and tried again and the same thing happened. For some reason itunes will not install or even commence the installment of version 5.01.
    Please help???

  • MICRO STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My micro is stuck in recovery mode and i tried to reboot and disk clean-up. When i clicked disk cleanup nothing happened. Please help.

    That would seem to indicate a problem with the dri've. I'd advise you contact Customer Support to get them to replace it for you, or (if you only just purchased it) contact the store directly.

  • How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..Please help me

    How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..i have tried So many ways and aloso tryed with  3rd party software but nothing happens...i trying with iTunes but error 14  message appare..i am from bd that's why in my country doesn't have any apple service center

    Error 14 is typically a hardware failure, but can be caused by security software...anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Given what you've posted, I suspect a hardware failure, & if that's the case, you won't be able to restore the phone. You'll need to find a service center to confirm.
