Stuck in restore mode - loading bar stops in half and never moves again

Hey guys, I have a little issue in here. I wanted to upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 and while I was restoring/installing the new ipsw, it got stuck in after the half - almost two thirds of the loading bar and it wont move again. I tried to do it through DFU mode as well but nothing works and Im out of ideas. I need your help. Thank you

I have the 3G iphone and plugged into computer tonite to do the upgrade - it started and then said there was an error and now all i have is a white apple icon & a progress bar that is empty -it's been this way for an hours - nothing I do changed it - unplugged - removed & reinstered sim card - it also won't turn off. Right now it's plugged into puter but nothing is happening - any help would be welcome! Thanks <3

  • My iphone is stuck in restore mode.  I plugged into macbook and ran a restore and it is still stuck

    iphone is stuck in restore mode when i did a rebook.  I hooked up to my macbook and ran a restore.   Itunes ran through the restore and now it is still stuck in restore mode.

    If it won't restore in the regular restore mode, you may want to try putting it in DFU mode if you haven't already. Instructions for this are linked below.

    Put it in this mode, then do a restore again through your computer.
    Hope this helps you out!

  • Delete database that's stuck in restoring mode

    Hi,
    one of the databases got stuck in restoring mode. I want to delete that without stopping sql service. I tried detaching and then deleting the physical files but didn't work. It just came back. I also tried deleting the database and then deleting files, but
    no luck.
    I tried Restore database with recovery but it failed saying cannot run as the db is in recovery mode. I cannot find SPID to kill either.
    Is there any other way to delete this stuck database without restarting the server??

    Are you sure that backup is corrupted? What does 
    RESTORE VERIFYONLY 
    return?

  • Ipod stuck in restore mode and cannot download new itunes?

    latest itunes will not download, previously downloaded but deleted and tried to dowload again after  ipod stuck in restore mode?

    Start with:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    Then
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch (2G) stuck in "restore" mode.  Need HELP please

    I have contacted Apple support several times since Friday and was just hung up on by an extremely rude lady in customer support. I am really frustrated and just trying to get my 5 yr old little boys ipod touch working again.
    The situation is that our son's old computer crashed. So we have a newer computer set up for him. Reinstalled itunes on it. Called Apple on Friday, really nice rep gave me several instructions for transfering purchases, making sure everything was up to date and turning home sharing on. Did all that, got off the phone with him and then the computer tells me that the ipod needs and update.
    Clicked ok, and update starts going for a few minutes.....then get an error message that says that the ipod is basically stuck in "restore" mode and needs to be reset to factory settings. It won't let me do anything to the ipod. It won't restore, reset, anything. Just shows a picture of usb cable and says to connect to itunes.
    Connect to itunes and it keeps giving me say error message.
    Will someone please help me? Apple support sure won't.

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode, to start the restore process again? Connecting in Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Also delete the ipod ipsw firmware file on your computer, to make iTunes download a new copy to restore from. Depending on your OS, this file can be found here:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    Vista and 7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    If you're getting error numbers, take a look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

  • Error 6 when trying to restore.  Phone is stuck in restore mode

    I have an iphone in front of me which is stuck in restore mode. I plug it into iTunes, choose restore, choose a firmware (3.1.2) and begin the restore process. I get the following message:
    The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).
    If I press more info, the console appears, and the last 2 lines show the following:
    Restore failed (result = 6)
    iTunes[24792:207]: iTunes: Restore error 6
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I've tried using a different user account - no luck. I also tried pointing gs.apple.com to 74.208.10.249 in /etc/hosts thinking maybe it was an activation problem - no luck.
    Hoping someone can help - otherwise I've got a very expensive paperweight!

    First delete all .ipsw files on your computer. In OSX they are located here:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod/iphone Firmware
    If you have your firewall turned on, disable it. Then see if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Also, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? You might try updating to 10.6.2 FIRST & also make sure itunes is up to date, version 9.0.3.

    Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
    I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
    iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...
