iPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7.

1) Plug your iPhone into the computer.

2) Hold home and power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds,

3) release home button, but continue to hold power button for 2 seconds.

This process often will force boot your device.

Hope this helps.

It took me speaking with 2 tech support and 2 trips to the apple store. The last time, when the tech restored, it came back to OS 6.1. When I got home, I connected to itunes and phone was recognized. Was able to sync to what I had backed up to my computer and then Icloud.

OS 7 automatically downloaded to my Iphone (4S) but I did not installed it.

Phone is now working perfectly on OS 6.1

1) Download iOS 6.1.3. (If you have in on your computer already then drag and drop it to your desktop.)

• if you don't have it then download it here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

2) Go to iTunes, then to your iPhone.

3) Hold shift and click restore.

4) Use the pop-up-box to navigate to the location of IOS 6.1.3

5) Double click the IOS.

iTunes should now start to restore the iPhone. The same process can be done by hold shift button and clicking update, instead of restore.

Nothing of these worked, still getting unknown erro 3194 ... Any idea ?

You can get your iPhone out of recovery mode by connecting it to your computer and then open iTunes. Next, tap on "Restore" under iTunes and then backup your settings.

Just now I got error while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7, and it stucks in the DFU mode. But I found the solution after I installed TinyUmbrella.

1. Disconnect your phone from iTunes

2. Turn Off your phone

3. Install TinyUmbrella

4. Connect your phone again

5. Click "Exit Recovery" at the top right of TinyUmbrella apps.

6. Done.

Your phone will restart then it returns to normal mode again. Hope it helps!

I have tried Tinyumbrella - it didnt work. What else can i do?

Same problem here, anyone else got any more solutuons for us guys in need of help:p

hi, Dear Dude, I have ever encountered this kind of situation. My iPhone stuck in recovery mode and I try these two methods.

first method is mainmenu--->then,settings--->then,general settings--->then,tap reset option--->then,reset your iPhone

second method is to use iPhone Data Recovery. To me, a computer newbie, it's convenient and useful. It brings my phone back to normal and enables me to recover all my lost data with just one click.

Either of it can try!

I have mamaged to get my phone out of recovery mode, without any loss of data.

I tried to update my phone to ios7.4 and got the dreaded itunes and USB connecton sign, which meant stuck in recovery mode. Itunes was asking to restore the iphone, meaning loosing all the data which was not backed up.

I used a free trail of www.transfer-iphone-recover.com, Dr Fone...........one does not have to register, just proceed straith to free trail and click, it restored my phone back to its original state and out of the dread recovery mode.

I hope this helps.

this is may be the issue with your charging connector....I had the same issue before,,,then i replaced the charging connectoe in to a new onw....then its started upadating.....!!

The Wondershare Dr.Fone Recovery Tool worked for me in Trial mode just like RemyWO said!!!!!!

This was the fix for me >>> http://www.transfer-iphone-recovery.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html

I just downloaded to my Mac, installed it, connected my iPhone, used the special Restart button in the yellow area on the main screen and did NOTHING else. That was enough to SHOCK my iPhone back to life and get it out of Recovery mode.

Unbelievable that iTunes can't do this. This almost makes me want to go pay for Wondershare just to thank them for fixing my iPhone 5 after that heart-stopping iOS7 horrible upgrade experience.

Thank goodness I did not actually RESTORE and wipeout my iPhone like iTunes was saying I needed to do.

Apple, shame on you!!!!

Thanks for this fix Bill. This happened to me for the first time today and I was rather anxious but downloaded the Dr Fone, plugged in my phone and literally did nothing, didn't even have to click on any of the buttons, my phone just came back to the land of the living. Excellent, a big help.

Thank you, this worked for me! I'm glad I didn't have to restore to factory settings and lose a bunch of stuff that wasn't backed up.
