Why cant i take my phone out of restore mode?

So I got what i though was an update for my iphone which said it was 7.0.6, and i clicked on it to update. Everything was going usual, but it then showed an image of the itunes logo, and i think it was indicating for me to plug my phone into my computer. I did this and a pop up came up saying itunes had detechted an iphone that was in restore mode. I clicked on the option to restore my iphone, and it states that it is "restoring the software"  but after a few minutes it just says that an error had occured and that it could not restore my iphone. is there anything i can do to fix it?

Hi Barcelona_fan15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone restore did not complete, I recommend going through the steps in this article first:

If the error persists, try the method in this article:

  • How to take my phone out of recovery mode without erasing all data

    I recently tried to update my iphone in itunes but an error occured and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and it says that if i restore i will lose all my data. How can i just go back to where i was before i tried to update. I cannot contact apple because i don't have a phone.
    If i recently synched my phone(days ago) why wouldn't it go back to those settings. Itunnes wont even recognize my phone now.

    I have followed the recovery restore steeps and get error -1

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

    You do not.  As clearly stated in the article the question was asked from, the device needs service.

  • How can I get my phone out of restoration mode without losing my pictures?

    I was trying to back-up my phone on my new laptop, but it somehow disconnected itself, so it went into recovery mode. I was wondering if there was any way of either getting it out of recovery mode, or restoring it, without losing all the pictures I have on it? I did not have my icloud on for my picture roll, so that's out of the question.

    There is a safe boot on a Mac but I have never heard of anything like that on an iPad.
    If you are referring to restore mode where the iPad displays a USB connector and iTunes then the data on the iPad is already gone and you might as well connect it up to your computer and restore so that it works.

  • How to get phone out of restore mode or atleast switch on if i do not want to update ?

    I was on a call when my cell went into restore mode. When i connected it with itunes, it offered restore with an update. i got a sucky connection so it's not able to get the download in one go. so the real problem here is, how do i start my phone or restore it without going for jailbreak ??
    And i was able to download the update from a site offering jailbreak. Now that update file is of the same size as that of the update being offered on the itunes so i assume its the same but when i press "shift+restore" and chose that file, itunes tries to verify this update file with apple and then shows "error 40", and then silently denies me the chance of using my phone. can i use that update file in anyway without hurting apple's feelings ?

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

    You don't. Once it's in recovery mode, anything that was on the phone is already gone.

  • HT201210 why can't i get my phone out of recovery mode

    I have the iPhone 5 and tried to restore it. It also does not come out of it and does not restart on its own.  I'm interested in the answer as well.

    It's impossible to say exactly why it went into recovery mode. To get it out, plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • I've tried everything to get my phone out of recovery mode but nothing is working.

    Hi,
    I recently started updating my phone to I.O.S 8.1.3, and it was downloading and updating fine, then it said it had an error updating. I turned it off and on again to see if that would work, and when I clicked install it showed up as if it was turning off. It then showed up that I needed to connect to iTunes. So I did, and it said it was in recovery mode, and that I needed to restore. So I tried that and it said multiple times, when I got part way through the restoration, that the network had timed out when it hadn't. So I researched ways to get it out of the recovery mode.
    I've tried:
    holding down home and lock button
    holding down lock and volume button
    downloading tinyumbrella, however it wouldn't let me open it
    Putting it into DFU mode and restoring
    Nothing is working! I don't know what to do, I need my phone for when I'm travelling and now I don't have one.
    Anyone got any more ideas? I'll be incredibly grateful.
    If I can't get this to work I've wasted £200 of money on a phone that decides it's logical to kill itself. I won't be doing that again.

    I was trying to download TinyUmbrella because some people have said it basically kicks phones out of recovery mode, and I did try that but it hadn't worked, it kept loosing connection with the phone even though it was connected.
    I took the phone to the O2 shop and they did something to restore it, so it's working fine finally thanks for replying!

  • How do I get my phone out of recovery mode without restoring it through iTunes?

    I tried to update my software, and my phone went into recovery mode. Now it says to restore it through iTunes but when I try that, it says its unavaliable to restore. What do I do to get my phone out of recovery mode??

    You don't. What do you mean it says "unavailable to restore"? What is the EXACT wording of the message you're getting?

  • HT201210 i cannot get my phone out of recovery mode, when I tried to restore on itune it gives me error 1608. please help me

    i cannot get my phone out of recovery mode, when I tried to restore on itune it gives me error 1608. please help me

    While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did.  Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone. 
    It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
    Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.  You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists.
