Can't get iphone out of recovery mode?

I just got my aunts old iphone 3 and when i turned it on it said it neaded to connect to itunes. Itunes then said that the iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. So i pressed restore and it took about 40 minutes but at the end nothing happened and it was still in recovery mode. I treid restoring again and then it said extracting softwear, after that it said it was preparing for restore but then it said an unknown error (1611) ucorred.

  • Iphone 5c stuck in recovery mode and Itunes won't recognize the phone, or that its in recovery mode? I tried updating to IOS 8 and it has the connect to itunes screen. Well i plugged it into my computer and opened itunes and got no notifications or anything. I really don't know what to do. I've seen online something about DFU mode… But i don't know what that is, is it jailbreaking? Will it erase my phone? Also. My phone is not backed up so help please.
