WRT120N router stuck in "recovery tool" screen

I needed to factory reset my wireless router and I was able to get to the router's recovery tool screen by holding reset for 30 secs and then unplugging the power cord and holding down the reset button while plugging the power back in.  The screen prompts me to browse to a firmware location (which I downloaded the latest firmware from cisco) and install it.  I did.  Then I tried holding the reset button 30 sec then unplugging it and plugging the power back in but the recovery tool is still coming up.  I tried just holding the reset button for 60 secs (maybe even 90 sec) but it never resets.  Before I call tech support does anyone have any suggestions?

@w6p0kn; if you are prompted by management mode firmware upgrade while trying to access the router’s setup page, then try to use other browsers or better yet try to use another windows computer. If you are having problems upgrading the router’s firmware, then try this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a72f05de8a5f4a789db726d535ea68cb_KB__EN_v1.xml&pid....

  • IPod touch 4th generation stuck in recovery, black screen and failure notice "IPod couldn't be recovered due to an unkown failure (-1).

    Hi there,
    I bought an IPod touch 3 weeks ago and it seems pretty stupid as I had so much trouble with it.
    First all the music wasn't synchronized properly. Most of the songs have been stucked in the middle (although the time moved on properly) and jumped to different times. I restored and recovered everything twice and everytime I plugged my IPod in my computer it seemed to worked, but after synchronising the first time the second time my ITunes recognized the Ipod but I couldn't see the files or even synchronise again. I could finally download all new updates (for the IPod and the new Itunes) as requested. ITunes  reset the IPod but couldn't recover it properly.My Ipod has a black screen and nothing works. Apparently my Ipod is in a maintenance mode, but everytime I try to recover it (as requested) it works until I get the failure notice "unknown failure (-1), couldn't recover/restore. I spend the whole day checking the Internet for a solution and trying to update everything without success so I really appreciate an answer. I am travelling through central america right now and unfortunately there are no apple stores around.
    Thanks
    Daniela
    P.S. Sorry, my failure notices are in german, so I tried to translate them and the situation as good as possible

    See if you can get it into DFU mode and then restore.

  • IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

    hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
    I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
    help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

    It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

  • TS1538 My ipod 4th gen. is stuck on recovery mode, and it is stuck on the screen that says connect to itune. I tried plugging it to the computer with an undamaged cabel and bringing up itunes, but itunes or my computer isnt reconizing it.

    My ipod 4th generation is stuck on recovery mode and is stuck on the screen that says to connect to the itunes store. I already tried using a non-damaged cable and connecting it to itunes, but the ipod is not showing up as a device on my computer or on itunes. I cant fix the recovery screen until i can coinnect it to itunes... so does someone have any suggestions?

    Try:                           
    - 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 another cable
    - 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.

  • IPad Air stuck in recovery screen after update. No reset possible

      Hello everyone,
    I have searched the community for an answer but nothing fits really.
    There are some threads regarding problems with the update to iOS 8.1 and screens stuck in recovery mode, but none of the suggested solutions work for me and I am really becoming desperate.
    First of all, I backed up my iPad through iTunes (I have a PC).
    Then I tried to update my iPad to IOS 8.1 through iTunes. During the update the message "an error has occured (3014)" appeared. I was prompted to set my iPad to recovery mode. So I clicked the butoon for this and after it was supposedly finished, the message "an error has occured (3014)" appeared.
    So, i cannot update nor rest my iPad and the screen is stuck in "connected to iTunes" screen. I tried every possible reset (soft and hard) with no avail. I haven't used any thrird party software like tiny umbrella nor is my iPad jailbreaked or somesuch.
    Please help me
    Thanks in advance
    Luke

    Connect your device to your computer, you will probably have to reset it there. You could then update it using your computer then try syncing everything back on to your device.

  • Hi i am having a big trouble. MY mac wont start past the gray screen. I tried starting on safe boot, single user user mode , recovery mode. Everything it gets stuck on the gray screen i even tried reinstalling it , same thing what should i do?

    MY mac wont start past the gray screen. I tried starting on safe boot, single user user mode , recovery mode. Everything it gets stuck on the gray screen i even tried reinstalling it , same thing what should i do? it lets me reinstall sometimes Sometimes....  it is weird.

    orshikhfromsc,
    boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro (by holding down the C key as it starts up). When the desktop appears, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase your internal disk. After it’s been erased, reformat it. After it’s been reformatted, exit Disk Utility and reïnstall the version of Mac OS X from that DVD onto your internal disk. After that version of Mac OS X has been reïnstalled, boot from your internal disk and run Software Update to get it up-to-date within that version; that should allow you to redownload and reïnstall Mavericks, if  desired. If Mavericks is reïnstalled, run Software Update again to get it up to date.
    If you no longer have the two grey installation DVDs, you can purchase a replacement set from either Apple or iFixit.

  • How to recover from a bad upgrade due to a blackout, stuck in the recovery itunes screen on the iphone

    how to recover from a bad upgrade, due to a blackout. stuck in the recovery itunes screen on the iphone

    Bjpolinda,
    Do you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup? If so, just plug your phone into iTunes, restore the phone and bring your backup back by following the prompts on the phone.
    If you didn't back up your phone before attempting to update, you may have lost all your photos and other data on your phone. If you restore the phone through iTunes, it will most definitely wipe your phone of all data and reset it to factory settings.

  • Cannot star Rescue and Recovery tool

    Hi, I was unable to launch normally windows so I tried to launch Lenovo rescue and recovery tool but it does not star either and is stucked on the screen with an image of lifebuoy and does not progress! Please help me how to proceed.

    Hi Kukokuko,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    Have you created the recovery media after the purchase of the system?
    When you switch on the system after Lenovo logo keep tapping F11 key, this will take you to the recovery option.
    Note: If you have done any changes in the HDD partition table then the recovery will not work, you can perform the recovery from the recovery media if you have created one.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
