Simlock free iphone stuck in recovery mode

i tried to update the iphone with new 3.1.2 update and the phone just went in recovery mode,hardreset (pushing home and sleep button) just gives "connect to itunes" screen logo,when in itunes i try to do a restore it unpacks new update starts install and then i get "unknown error 2005"
This is a simlock free belgium iphone 3G and i am a belgium "Base" carrier client.
Found nothing on iphone support pages about this error.
I have a backup of the iphone.
How can i do a factory restore without using the latest firmware?cause i think thats what is causing the problem (latest3.1.2update) it was about 245 MB big and took about 20 minutes too download where other updates came in very fast.
What to do ?

I updated my iphone today and received the same message. When I reconnected to iTunes, neither my phone nor iTunes would recognize they were connnected. I went to a local AT&T provided that reset my phone to factory settings, had to reconfigure visual voicemail, etc. my phone is a blank slate. I was told to go home, connect to iTunes and the previously synced information would load to my iphone. I have since connected my phone that was working to my PC, it will not recognize. I followed troubleshooting so a PC will recognize and iTunes would recognize and turned my phone off, then on again. My re-set phone has now been stuck with the Apple logo for 15 minutes, no buttons will power it down. It is frozen in restart and I think I can do nothing but schedule any appointment with an Apple Expert.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode trying to update

I was attempting to update to the new ios 8. I did this all in the normal way as i usually do. When it got to the extracting software at the top of the itunes screen it took about 1 hour for this to nearly reach the end. then just before it reached the end it stopped and said it could not be restored as the iphone could not be found. now the iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and every time i connect it to itunes it says i need restore which i do and then the same thing keeps happening. it goes to extracting software bar for an hour and then stops just as it is about to finish.
i have a laptop with windows xp and have installed latest itunes, i have attempted rebooting everything with no joy.
please help.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

Follow exactly what I wrote below to fix iPhone stuck in recovery mode:
Hold both power button & home button for 10 seconds.
Once the device shuts off release the power button and keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds.
The screen will remain black, plug it up to iTunes and see if it detects it.
If that does not work hold both buttons to make device shut down, once screen is off hold the home button while plugging it up to PC.
Do not let go of home button till recovery screen shows up on your device.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode, what now

iphone stuck in recovery mode, what do i do now pls?

Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?

IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed update.

Hi, I have a bad situation here... My iPhone 5 got stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update to iOS 7.1.1 from 7.0.4 and it failed (error code 6). If this was my iPod touch I would just restore it because all I have is music, but this iPhone has all my sisters graduation photos, important photos, important school documents, contacts, app data, videos from concerts. Etc. I was wondering if I could get the photos off the phone before restoring it, because they are important. I know I should've backed up my photos and made a backup of the phone, but I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if there is any way to get the photos and app data back. The app data doesn't really matter but the photos do. The device was not jailbroken or hacked in any way.
If you could help, tell me ASAP.

When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed. The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.
You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet". This is Apple's technical support forum. We do know what we're talking about.
since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them? This is how the phone is meant to be used. Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish. Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update? As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson. BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer? I'm sure you have important data on your computer. Hard drives WILL fail.

IPhone stuck in recovery mode, I can't even reset it to factory settings

I wrote a post before this but it seems like it got deleted???
My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode and I've tried everything but nothing works! I can't even reset it to factory settings because I keep getting the "Connect to iTunes" screen. Is there any way that I can reset it to factory settings without using iTunes?
I've searched all over the web, haven't found anything on this... I've tried all the apps that help exit from recovery mode but none of them work!
Please, any help is appreciated! Thank you!

HELP! iTunes 8.2.1 update and iPhone stuck in recovery mode!!!!

When I started iTunes today it asked if I wanted to update to 8.2.1. I agreed.
Now, my iPhone is stuck in recovery mode (USB plug + iTunes icon on the iPhone screen).
My phone is useless at this point. I DEPEND on having this phone working, and NEED the data stored on this phone.
How can I simply get my phone working again?

Unfortunately, that does not help me either.
At this point the phone will not come out of recovery mode without being restored. All my data is going to be lost.
Thanks for letting me have access to backup my data, APPLE! -- NOT!
I'll be glad when my cell contract is over.

Doing a search on Google revealed this:
if you ever edited your hosts file ...change it back. basically do the reverse of this to about step 5:
mac
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7556
windows
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7557
(editing the file back to the original worked for me)
Follow those instructions and see if that helps.

Can i recover my photos from iphone stuck in recovery mode?

Can I recover my photos from an iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode?

Not likely.
You can try a reset (Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears) to see if it kicks it out of recovery but most likely you will need to restore.
Did you backup with iTunes or iCloud?

I GOT THE SOLUTION!!
This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!
