How to get iPhone out of recovery mode without having to reset it to factory settings?
I have an iPhone 5S that kept freezing so I turned it off. When I tried to turn it back on, it would go to the white screen with the black Apple logo but it wouldn t turn all the way on. I tried restarting it by holding the power and home buttons for a while, but that didn't work either. I plugged it into the wall and it showed the charging screen but it had the iTunes logo, so I plugged it into the computer and it says it's in recovery mode and I have to reset it. I've never backed it up so now I don't know what to do because I don't want to lose my notes, contacts, messages, and pictures because some things on my phone hold sentimental meaning to me. I've done all I could try to, so IIm going to take my phone to Verizon and Best Buy tomorrow, is there anything at all that they could do to at least get my data out somehow? Like export it and put it on a flash drive, then I could reset my phone? Please let me know because I need to use my phone but I don't want to lose everything on it.
The best answer will be to login to your apple id from a computer and go to apple discussions to answer that question. Or google apple discussion and itll have you sign in. An apple specialist will answer u
No, it's not possible. Apple prompted you to set up regular backups when you first set up the phone and you failed to do so. Now the horse has bolted from the stable and you're hoping that you can prevent it from having done so by closing the stable door…
You're about to learn the same hard lesson that everyone else does sooner or later, including me.
Never store vital data on a mobile device. Never store vital data on any device without at least one backup and preferably multiple backups at different locations.
The data on your iPhone is encrypted and when you reset the phone to restore it the encryption key changes. So even if you could get a raw data dump out of the phone it would all be useless nonsense without the unique encryption key which will no longer exist and which can't be re-created from the encrypted data.
In short: ask whoever you want, but the data is effectively lost already unless your phone was quietly backing up to your iCloud account.
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
- What settings will it change if I press reset all settings on my iPhone? Also, will this help speed up my iPhone because that's what I've heard. Because my iPhone has been so slow lately and taking like 3-5 minutes to send 1 text. If you know of any other ways that could help speed that up please also let me know that.
- 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.
- I did a factory reset on my iPhone 6s and I'm locked out of it? How do I figure out the activation lock? I've been trying to figure this out for an hour now and came up with nothing. Yeah, I had bought another phone since I was locked out of my iPhone for a week with no idea how to get past it.
