Q: iphone stuck in recovery mode

Here's what this error can be about:

Your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.

1. Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
2. Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
3. Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
4. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

If you still see the error message, check for outdated or modified software.

Reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button and start again to restore after you made sure that no security software is blocking the contact to Apple, and that the USB port and USB cable is working.
