iOS 8 Update Failed

I've an iPad 4 running iOS7. Tried the whole day to download iOS8, no luck...until tonight when it downloaded in 13 minutes. Pity the update failed and my iPad went into recovery mode. I had to reset it (with iOS8 this time) and now iTunes is restoring my backup. 😐

Same here, i tried updating my iPhone this afternoon and its been 5 hours since and my iPhone is stuck on the apple logo. I tried rebooting it and it didn't work! Its on recovery mode right now and i really hope that it'll work 😢

like I said before, reiboot is a great alternative. it also works on win 64 and worked for me cause recboot errored

I´ve tried RecBoot and worked, however I´ve tried the wi-fi upgrade and my iPad went again in Recovery mode, now neither RecBoot nor reboot work!!

I am disappointed t have installed the Yosemite OS X

hi what fixed It I have same problem it's been like that all night very worrying

I´ve been searching for a solution and some guys have succeed installing Xcode, it fixes somehow the iTunes 12

Hi, I downloaded the link onto my Windows computer. Now all I have is a folder saying recboot. What do I have to open?

Hi there!

I will try to explain what happened to me this morning.

I had less than a 1GB on my iPhone 5s so I need that I had to updated through iTunes in my macbook pro. But I didn't do the back up (big mistake).

The computer showed 3 hours time so I left it there since I did not have the time to be that time. I know that the system was downloading and updating but then the phone was not recognized and now is asking to restore the phone.

When I plug it in the capacity bar it says that phone is almost full but in matter of 10 seconds the capacity bar show a blank phone.

I have a previous back up from march that I do not want to use. I would like to use what is currently in my phone (I haven't erase it yet)

Any help?

When i pressed exit, my ipad shut down, then when it started up, it started normally and wasn't in recovery mode.

Agreed mate, windows 64 here too, Recboot did not work, but reiboot worked first time in a matter of seconds.

I don't know what to do. I have an iphone 5. I am stuck in recovery mode. I tried reiboot but it exits recovery mode and then instantly goes back to recovery mode. I'm like in an infinite loop. Anything else I can try?

I have an IPad Air. Tried over the air update and it went into recovery mode. Connected to computer and tried to restore. iTunes gave me Error 17. Tried everything to get it out recovery mode.... tinyumbrella, reboot, reiboot, etc. and nothing worked. I finally found this and it did the trick. Hope this helps others with the same issue.

I have an iPad2 and tried to update on Sept. 18. I was stuck in an infinite loop where the download would not complete. This morning, I tried again, and kept getting kicked out during the download. (Interestingly, my spouse's iPad2 processed it this morning, just fine, in about 25 mins.)

I also received iCloud warnings about storage shortage, so I upgraded my iCloud storage tonight. And tried again to download iOS 8. Since then, my iPad has been stuck in the screen showing the cord with the iTunes prompt. Pressing the home/power buttons together to reset (as recommended to do every 2 weeks by a Genius during One to One training) does not work. Plugging in to iTunes results in a prompt that it is going into recovery and the machine will lose all local media.

I appreciate the apps and workarounds posted above and will give them a try. However, this is an unnecessary complication to my mobile professional life until it is resolved.

What did you find as I'm still having the same issues and nothing is working (recboot, reiboot and tinyumbrella)?

ive tried everything of the apps, recboot, reiboot, etc. but still apps would say ive exited the recovery mode but will soon appear again 😟 what would i do now? pls help me
