Updated to iOS 6.1.2, phone went into recovery mode and will not restore, help?

exactly as the title says.
error 3194 came up and well yeah, nothing's working.

Most likely you previously used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella that messed with your computer hosts file, blocking access to the Apple server gs.apple.com. See this:
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server. I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted." I am locked out of my phone. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again. I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing. Thanks for your help in advance.

Try going to recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages. Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

IOS 7 put my phone in recovery mode and will not restore

After updating to iOS 7, my iphone went into recovery mode and everytime I try and restore it, it errors out with an error code 9. I have tried 2 different cords and 2 different computers and it will not restore. HELP Not sure what to do from here and the nearest Apple store is 200 miles away.

Hi all,
Bit of background so I don't waste anyone's time:
IPhone 4s, itunes 11.1 (both on computer and iphone)
I too am stuck in this recovery loop. I've read all over the community and have tried the suggestions:
I put my phone in DFU mode & also recovery mode (a.e. hold home/sleep button down for 10 seconds, etc., etc., etc.) and tried restoring this way 10 different times, as some posts say it sometimes works after the 4-5 try but still no results.
On my Iphone Screen the apple logo appears and the status bar below it gets stuck about 2/3 of the way, then I get the following error message, "could not restore because of unknown error (1)".
I set up an appt. at the apple store for tomorrow, but holy sh*t what a fiasco!
Any suggestions?

TS3694 My iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi only) went into recover mode and will not allow restoration from iTunes. Error message 3014. Anyone come across this and a possible solution?

Error code 3014 question. iPad 2 (WiFi only, 16GB) went into recover mode. I am not able to restore from iTunes. iPad had the latest software & iMac is latest as well. iPad has very few applications... < 6GB used prior to this.
Any help.

Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly. I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect. It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

The problem is not happening with any other device that I have. My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine. In fact, it's not even the connection. The computer will connect to the net. It just will not open any page. It starts to open and then hangs and hangs. It will not move. Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing. Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING! Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network?

This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
To make it work i followed those steps.
1.- Restart
2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
3.- Uninstall netwokrs
4.- Shut down
5.- SMC reset
6.- Reinstall networks
I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
Hope it helps,
Cheers

Computer went into sleep mode and will not wake up!

I have a HP Pavilion a350n which I love and have never had a problem with it.....until now.
When I turn it on I get a black screen with a small window that reads "Warning" "PC entering power saving mode" Then the screen goes blank and the blue power light on the monitor turns an amber color. The only way I can turn off the computer is with the blue power button on the front of the tower.
Every "fix" I have come across says to do a System Restore from the Start Menu....How do you get to the start menu when you can't wake up the computer!
I have tried disconnecting the main power cord from the outlet and reconnecting it and turning the computer back on. Nothing but the same "Warning....."
I tied hitting the F1 button at turning on the unit and nothing......
I checked the monitor connection at the rear of the computer and can't see any bent or broken pins. Cord looks great too.
I took the back off and was going to try and unseat the memory card and reseat it again, but I don't know much about the inside of a computer and am not sure where the memory card is or what the hec it even looks like!
Thanks for any help!

First try another monitor. What type and model of monitor do you have now?
If the computer turns off also, it could be shutting down due to hardware issues. Open the case and clean out the dust and then pull the video card and memory and reseat them. Then try to boot up.

I tried to update to ios 7.0.1 and my iphone 5 went into recovery mode and i dont have iCloud

I tried to update to ios 7.0.1 and my iphone 5 went into recovery mode and said i had to plug it in to itunes so i did and it restored to factory settings and i lost everything and i am pretty sure i dont have anything backed up on iCloud.. Is there anyway i can recover anything? I had over 1,000 pictures and 500 contacts and now i have nothing.

Then you have no data from which to backup, I'm afraid.
This would be a good time to review the User Guide and learn how to use your phone as recommended so data loss like this doesn't happen again.
Best,

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.

You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

Go elsewhere:
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Did 8.1 upgrade on iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data

Today October 26th I was prompted for 8.1 upgrade to fix minor bugs. Did 8.1 upgrade on my iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data. I see an itunes icon with a charger pointing to it on the screen. I plugged the pphone to the laptop and get is itunes detected iPhone in recovery mode, you must restart the phone before you update ...and the download is taking 5 hours and i have 320 mbps download speed
Apple thinks i have an older phone and need to throw it and buy their new iphone 6. if thats the case, here is my middle finger... am going with some other OS

Apple doesn't care if you buy a newer phone or not. Apple doesn't need your new iPhone purchase. There are millions of people that have properly working older iPhones that voluntarily upgrade.
Your device crashed, and it could have been caused by any number of root causes, many of them not controlled by Apple. Third party app, interruption of internet connection, interruption of power, etc.
If you came here to give the middle finger to Apple (childish behavior by the way), you're in the wrong place. Go to www.apple.com/feedback.
