Iphone stuck in recovery and is not recognized by itunes?
So i went to update my iphone 5 to a new ios and during the installation an error occurred. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and iTunes doesn't even recognized that its connected. So now my phone has become a brick and I've spent the last two hours looking up how to fix it. I've tried updating my itunes, dfu mode, uninstalling the usb driver, and i just don't know what else to do. So if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it.
Install iphone software & driver update. You will have to write the iphone make & model no in the URL. If this doesn't work you will have to contact the retailer. Also check if you have a manufacturer warranty & it's expiry date.
There have been problems with updating to new versions of iOS.
This is most likely a problem with your computer, not iTunes.
Simply try reinstalling iTunes, this will reinstall iPhone drivers on your computer. You can also try reinstalling iPhone drivers on computer directly.
Your iTunes music and photos should be saved locally (they will not be deleted when reinstalling iTunes).
You can also try installing the new software on a different computer.
Hope this helps!
If it doesn't, contact Apple directly and they can further assist you.
- Problems with iPhone not being recognized on iTunes? My iTunes stopped recognizing both my iPod touch and my iPhone, and I have done everything that I have seen online to do (uninstall and reinstall iTunes, uninstall and reinstall device drivers, change usb ports, change iPod cables, etc.) and my iTunes STILL won't recognize my iPhone. Any suggestions?
- My iphone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes won't recognize it? They don't recognize it neither in recovery mode and neither in DFU mode. Is there a way to ''hard reset'' or reboot it without itunes? This happened while i was trying to install ios 8 GM.
- My iphone is not recognized in itunes? I plugged in the USB of the iphone and its connected but its not turning on or anything. The lock button is broken so i can't turn it on by pressing it. i tried restoring it the first time but it said i didn't have enough disk space, so i cleared it and it still didn't work Then i updated the itunes and its not even recognized at all. I can't click restore because its not shaded in black its grey so its un-clickable.
- Jailbroken iphone stuck in recovery mode/power button does not work? Okay, so my iphone was jailbroken & I had a lot of data on it so I chose to erase all content… It has been stuck on the loading spinny screen for two hours now. My top corner power button will NOT work as in it is broken. Is there any way I can force my phone into recovery mode without this power button working?
