Won't go out of recovery mode

I have tryed to update my iphone from 5.1.1 to 6.1 and i got error 6, now it's stuck in recovery mode and i can't restore it cause i am having error 21. Can anyone help me please?

Error 21 can be a very bad hardware error, but it can also be due to faulty battery. If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update

    So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
    Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!

    Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it.  And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either.  Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

  • I dropped my iPod, now it won't get out of recovery mode!

    I dropped my iPod, now it won't get out of recovery mode! If i don't connect it to the mac, it has the msg in 4 languages saying "connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore". When i connect it to mac, and itunes is open, it says ipod needs to be restored, so i press the restore button, the progress bar starts moving but never finishes, like it's frozen.
    Can anyone help

    guess there's no one that can help.

  • My Ipod touch won't come out of recovery mode or appear on Itunes!!

    My Ipod gen 5 won't come out of recovery mode. When I plug it into the computer, the ipod device won't show up on itunes and I have tried closing it, and it still wont show up on Itunes or get out of recovery mode! Please help me!!

    Try:

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone won't come out of recovery mode or restore

    My phone started updating and i turned it off because i didn't want it to update.  Then when i turned it back on i never had any service and it told me that i couldn't use my phone until i updated it so i plugged it into my computer to update it.  Then it said that i had to restore my phone in order to be able to update it. Ever since I put it in recovery mode, it hasnt come out of it and i can't use my phone at all.  Its been six hours since i started.

    Did you use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and that did not work?
    If that will not work, you can use DFU mode, but the timing of the actions is critical:
    Power down the iPhone, start iTunes on the computer, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
    Press and hold the power button on the iPhone while attaching the other end of the cable, and continue to hold the power button for three seconds.  Then, while still holding the power button press and hold the home button.  Continue holding both buttons for ten seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional twenty seconds.  Release the home button and you should be able to restore.

  • Iphone won't come out of recovery mode? (after 6 hours of wating)

    Okay, a few days ago my Iphone froze. Then It turned off and turned back on, and it has had that screen that has the Itunes Symbol and a USB cable (the screen notifying the user that the Iphone has to be connected to itunes). So I connected my Iphone to my computer, and it told me I had to recover or restore my Iphone (which I am 100% okay with, there was nothing too important on it.).....So I clicked "restore"...it began the recovery process, like "extracting software" and stuff, and then it says "wating for Iphone"....and it said "wating for iphone" for 6 hours and didn't stop until I disconnected it.
    I didn't get any error message or anything while it was connected. Can someone please tell me how to get it out of this or how to get it to actually recover?
    If It can't be fixed, do I have to buy a new Iphone? (I've had this one for about 3 months)

    Worry not,
    You would not have to buy a new iPhone as it is covered under warranty for 1 year and you have had yours for 3 months. I would call 1-800-myiPhone and discuss sending it in for repairs unless you live near a Apple store then make an appointment and head on in
    Hope this helps

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

  • Why won't my ipod come out of recovery mode or restore!?!?!

    Hey guys, a little earlier on I put my ipod touch 4g into recovery mode to restore it. I had way to much junk on my ipod. So i put it in recovery mode and tried to go onto my computer to restore. I plugged it in and went to iTunes, of course, it said an ipod in recovery mode has been detected... etc. so I pressed restore. It went until it was out of extracting software and then said iPod could not be restored due to error (9) so I decided to take it out of recovery mode and find a different solution. So I pressed the home and power button and so forth and so on. It took me to the apple logo and went back to the iTunes symbol with the USB cable under it. I've tried to restore it again but my computer will not detect it and I've tried it on two computers (running iTunes 11.1) and it doesnt show up. So I try to take it out of recovery mode again but nothing works... I really am in need of help. If you can help me please do thnaks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • 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 5th gen. iPod touch running iOS 7.1.1 out of recovery mode?

    One day I woke up and I found my iPod on the floor. I forgot to plug it in so I thought it died, but decided to test and see. When I tried to turn it on, the Apple logo went away and displayed the connect to iTunes screen. I connected it to iTunes and clicked restore. After a few minutes, there was an error message saying that iTunes couldn't restore the iPod and the error code was 21. Have any ideas on how to get it out of recovery mode? I'm desperate and my iPhone and/or iPad won't hold my 3,500+ songs. I miss my music. Thanks for the support! :)

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
