Restoring IPhone in Recovery mode

I'm trying to restore my iphone because it said I can not receive or make any calls and I need to restore it because it's in recovery mode (no idea on what that means). So iI began the process of restoring it. It "extracts software" but then the iphone just disconnects. The USB did not unplug or come out, the computer didn't shut down, etc. It just goes black as though the phone turns off and the process stops. When the warning sign about it disconnecting goes away, it reconnects again all of a sudden and says I need to restart. Could you explain to me why it's telling me I can't receive or make calls and in "recovery mode" and how I can fix my connection problem? THANK YOU!!!!
I've tried restarting my computer and my phone doesn't turn on completely. Just goes to the apple logo then shuts off.

You need to restore the iPhone before you can make calls.

    HOW DO I RESTORE MY PHONE IN RECOVERY MODE.... THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO BY HOLDING HOME AND OFF BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME?

    are you referring to dfu mode?  I'd only use that if a standard recovery didn't work for some reason.  It's more art than science so you may have to try it a few times...but here is the method I've found to work best:
    DFU mode[1] is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.
    While connected to PC, running iTunes, hold down Home and Power( button on upper right edge) button for exactly 8 seconds. 
    Release the power button.  Continue to hold home button. Restore message will appear in iTunes.  Release home button. The device will be recognized by iTunes, but no display will appear on the device itself.  The lack of a display on the device will verify that it is in dfu mode.

    im trying to update my iphone 4s software to i06 and the download always stops 1/4 of the way and it comes up with a message...  unable to update... error 3004.. its so frustrating... please help!!

    Hi poppymoo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I recommend trying the steps pertinent to error 3004 from this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    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.
    If you're using a Mac, this section may also help:
    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.

    im trying to update my iphone 4s software to i06 and the download always stops 1/4 of the way and it comes up with a message...  unable to update... error 3259.. its so frustrating... please help!!

    You might like to try rebooting the phone by holding down the Home Button and the Power button at the same time for about 5 secs on until the screen blacks out.  You should then see the Apple Logo until the phone restarts.
    So long as the phone is still functional you can always do a "Factory Reset" as a last resort. This will erase everything from your iPhone so you will need a local backup otherwise you will need to set up like a new phone.
    Is this an iPhone 5 ?
    Oh, and one other thing is your iPhone backed up to your computer or to iCloud?

    what to do? pls help
    (iphone 4  and  iphone 4s)

    So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html  downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened  If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

  • In the middle of updating my iphone 4, a icon popped up saying that itunes had detected an iphone in recovery mode and i needed to restore it. my iphone screen is a picture of a usb cord with an arrow pointing to an itunes symbol. what do i do?

    i started to update my iphone 4, and in the middle of the update, an icon popped up saying that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be sued with iTunes."
    I really cannot lose the data on my phone. i foolishly did not back up everything ecause there was a previous problem i had with icloud and i needed to delete all of my icloud accounts accept for my contacts.
    WHat would i lose if i restored it? and do i need to restore it?
    is there another way? if there is, i definetely do not need the update. someone please help me.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

    It also happened to me. What I did was to put my USB connector at the back of my PC (the main USB port) then I open my iTunes again and Viola, it solves my problem.
