Iphone wont ever leave recovery mode! help!
location: modmyi.com - date: October 14, 2011
I got given an Iphone from a friend, who found it a while ago and he had never had it working. Since I got it it has been in recovery mode, it wont let me jailbreak it, it will install half way then restart and go back to recovery. It won't restore itsself, i just get an error. It doesnt say on the back if it is a 3g 2g 3gs etc, but it has the model number and looks like a 3gs so i've gone with that. When i rig it up to Itunes it says Name: Iphone Capacity: n/a Software Version: n/a but it has a Serial Number. When i connected it to TinyUmbrella it wont kick it out of recovery, nor will Ireb Also TU says Device Model: -INVALID Installed Firmware Version is blank and no serial number. I have no idea what Firmware it is on, i have no SHSH saved for it neither is there anyway to fix this? thanks.

iPhone 4S 5.0.1 Recovery Mode HELP!!!!
location: macrumors.com - date: January 26, 2012
I jailbroke my iPhone 4S yesterday with the recently released GreenPoison release. All was well and working until I installed the wrong Dreamboard Theme that made my iPhone inoperable but still functioning. I went to restore it to the backup I had made yesterday but when I go to iTunes all I receive is an error 21 telling me my iPhone cannot be restored. I've tried reinstalling iTunes. I'm unable to enter DFU mode. All my screen shows is the "Connect to iTunes" graphic. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME!

iPhone 4 stuck in RECOVERY MODE, help!
location: macrumors.com - date: August 9, 2011
I've tried using TinyUmbrella, but when I press "exit recovery" the script says "08/09/2011 00:23:15.351 Sending exit recovery request to 0 08/09/2011 00:23:15.526 Recovery Device disconnected: 012337007548946" and then my iPhone reboots in recovery mode still. I'm not sure why it immediately tries to disconnect every time I try to exit recovery, but I can't get it to kick out of recovery because it keeps disconnecting itself every time I try. I even tried putting it in DFU mode and fixing recovery but my iPhone then showed a screen with something about greenpois0n and then rebooted in recovery mode about twenty minutes later. I also tried using the "fix recovery" download from TinyUmbrella too but it failed to help anything either. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated, I really need to get photos and videos off of my iPhone... Thanks so much

iPhone 4 recovery mode help!
location: macrumors.com - date: July 25, 2011
I have a Verizon iPhone 4. So I decided to jailbreak the phone about a month ago using redsn0w. I plugged it into my computer today and inadvertently hit the upgrade to 4.2.9. I quickly pulled the cord, but now the phone is stuck in recovery mode. I can't restore through iTunes because I get the "requested build" message and I'm not really sure what to do with TinyUmbrella to make it work. I'm kinda panicking that I may have bricked my iPhone. I thought I understood enough to jailbreak it, but now I realize I'm in over my head with the jargon and techno-saviness. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 3GS Cannot Exit Recovery Mode, HELP!
location: macrumors.com - date: October 13, 2010
Hi, earlier this morning I was using my iPhone when all of a sudden it powered down. When I tried turning it on I was met with the CD/Please Connect to iTunes Screen. So, I opened iTunes and hooked my iPhone up to my MacBook. Then the message about something "In Recovery Mode" and "Restore iPhone" popped up. I have just purchased quite a few apps earlier this week and taken countless photos, however due to having a bug and being ill in bed I haven't booted my MacBook up therefore I haven't synced my iPhone/transferred purchases etc. I have been googling "How to exit recovery mode on iPhone 3GS" for hours and I've been trying a few of the instructions mentioned on other threads/posts etc. However none of them have helped and I am a complete technospazz and I am now getting to the point of desperation because I cannot use my iPhone and I really do not want to lose

Iphone unable to boot up or recovery mode. Help!
location: modmyi.com - date: June 8, 2008
Hi, greetings to all. I think i screwed my iphone. I was trying to use ibrickz v0.90 to jailbreak and install 3rd party apps. Well, I must have did something wrong and the iphone keeps restarting to scroll lines of words (like in DOS mode) and repeats endlessly. Not being able to figure out what went wrong, i desperately resorted to the last stance; depressing the power button and home screen button at the same time. It did go into recovery mode(icons of disk and connector with blue background) but after a few second it rebooted and repeated the scroll of words again. The moment iphone lost its recovery mode and rebooted neither winpwn or iTunes are able to detect iphone. I am not good with my written English so pls clarifiy with me if I have not made myself clear. below are the screen shots of iTunes and winpwn itunes

iPhone Recovery Mode
location: apple.com - date: March 16, 2009
hi Pple,I'm extremely disgruntled that my iphone decided to play tricks on me.For some reason while updating software through installer it went straight to the apple logo and didn't come back.Force restarting it only made it vibrate while still on the apple logo.So I connected it to itunes and put it in recovery mode. While trying to back it up from a previous backup, it wouldn't give me that option. I have a backup made on the 23rd of November 2008, but itunes only wants me to perform a full restore and upgrade to the latest version.Now that would not be a problem but I need an SMS number that I have on my iphone which I cannot access.ANY useful information on how to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.Sincerely, B...

location: imore.com - date: October 9, 2009
I have the latest iTunes and plugged my iPhone in last night to get the latest update for it. My dog walked into and yanked out the USB cable so my iPhone became disconnected. I plugged it back in and it said I had to restore my iPhone. I clicked "Restore" at 11:45 last night before I went to bed and at 5 am this morning I woke up and it was still restoring. What do I do? What CAN I do? Help! I feel useless without my iPhone...haha. If it helps, I'm on Windows Vista. Thanks!

iPod in recovery mode-help!
location: ilounge.com - date: December 31, 2009
I have an iPod touch that is only about a year old. No problems up until today. The iPod had died (ran out of battery) last night so this morning I went to plug it in to charge it as usual. However, when iTunes opened, I recieved a message saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod..." I googled many solutions to this problem as I don't want to restore just yet, and I'm hoping there may be an easier solution to my problem. I've seen on numerous websites to go to my computer -> manage -> disk management -> and to change the letter on my iPod; one problem though, my iPod doesn't show up under disk management. Only HP_Pavilion and HP_recovery show up. I checked under Removable storage->media and the iPod didn't show up there either. I've googled this problem and so far have found no answers. If anyone has a solution to this problem, I'd be so grateful! Thanks

iPhone recovery mode-loop; getting a bit desperate
location: modmyi.com - date: November 5, 2009
Hi there, I am sorry for my ignorance. I am a complete beginner and have searched all over the internet for answers. This is the situation: I was running a iPhone 3G 16GB, jailbroken and updated to 3.1.2 with PwnageTool. Yesterday evening all of a sudden my iPhone entered into recovery mode prompting me that I would require a restore through iTunes and that incoming/outgoing calls were not possible. I then did a shutdown followed by a reset, still the same. I connected the phone to iTunes but it did not detect the phone. I then tried to force the iPhone out of the recovery-mode loop using iRecovery in Terminal. iRecovery could not detect the phone either. No success. I then forced the phone into DFU mode and tried to do a recovery from iTunes using first the custom firmware 3.1.2 (as created by PwnageTool before): errors connecting to the phone. I also tried to restore to the original firmware 3.0.1: same. I tried again and ag

iPhone Recovery Mode
location: macrumors.com - date: March 6, 2011
Hi everyone, I attempted to modify the fstab file on my iPhone 3G today and I accidentally added an extra character before I saved it and SSH'd it. Now, my iPhone is stuck in a recovery mode loop. I've tried just about every program out there that is supposed to take the phone out of a recovery loop, none have worked. I've tried restoring to firmware 4.2.1, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, and 3.1.3; they all don't help. Any ideas on accessing the fstab file while the phone is in recovery or DFU mode (I can put it into DFU mode)? I tried SSH and DiskAid, neither works. I'm pretty sure just correcting the file will solve everything.

how to exit recovery mode - HELP!!!
location: apple.com - date: July 10, 2012
Big problem with my iPhone 4 (Verizon). I tried to update to ios 5.1.1 and it said "unexpected error occurred" and put the phone into recovery mode.  I do not want to restore because I will lose 1000+ photos and other data. Is there any way to get around this problem? Is there at least a way to retrieve my photos? Some are in the Photo album but many are in my Camera+ app. Please help!
