Articles and Lifehacks
Often, when trying to improve his mobile phone, the owner of the device is faced with the fact that the device breaks down or freezes at a certain stage of loading. Therefore, it is important to know how to get an iPhone out of recovery mode, because otherwise you will have a non-working device on your hands.
Basic ways to exit recovery mode
There are several methods to exit Recovery Mode:
- Reboot. If you see an icon of a USB cable leading to iTunes, reboot the device by pressing Home and Power simultaneously and holding the buttons for 15 seconds. Then start your mobile phone as usual.
- If you get into the Recovery Loop, you should use special utilities. Download TinyUmbrella, iReb or RecBoot.
- Restore the device using iTunes. The big disadvantage of this method is that it erases all information contained in the cell phone’s memory.
Using the TinyUmbrella app
TinyUmbrella is one of the effective programs. To use it you need:
- Download and install the latest version.
- Launch the application, and then connect the phone to the PC via a USB cable.
- On the left side of the application you will see the words Recovery Devices and the numbers 1114116, next to which there may be a question mark.
- Click on the unidentified device, in this case it is a digital dial.
- On the right side of the utility, select Exit Recovery.
If the application cannot detect the mobile phone, then install iTunes and perform the same steps. You can also use the RedSn0w utility.
In all other cases, it is advisable to seek help from professionals, because only they will be able to identify the true cause of the cell phone malfunction and return it to working condition.
After all, you must admit that the iPhone is not a cheap mobile phone, and in terms of functionality it is ahead of some models from other manufacturers.
Solving the problem in a couple of clicks.
Although iPhones are recognized as smartphones that have a minimum of software bugs and problems, they still happen. Yes, there are not as many of them as on Android smartphones, but this obviously does not make it any easier for iPhone users who find themselves in a problematic situation. What should you do if your iPhone is stuck in recovery mode, keeps rebooting, or won't turn on at all after experiencing one of these bugs? In this review, we will talk about a truly life-saving utility, iMyFone Fixppo for Windows and Mac, which solves any such problem in a couple of clicks.
The iMyFone Fixppo utility has the ability to fix various software glitches on iOS devices. The program not only allows get iPhone and iPad out of recovery mode, but also cope with many other problems.
For example, the Apple logo is stuck on your iPhone and nothing helps to get rid of it. Or the iPhone went into a cyclic reboot, preventing normal use. Or the iPhone simply does not turn on, not responding in any way to pressing the “Power” button. The iMyFone Fixppo utility solves all such problems.
How to get iPhone out of recovery mode using iMyFone Fixppo utility?
Let's start by looking at the most common problem among iPhone and iPad users - the device gets stuck in recovery mode. Most often, this bug occurs when installing a new version of iOS. Moreover, you can “catch” the eternal recovery mode even with a safe installation of iOS over the air - you don’t have to use iTunes for this.
It's very easy to understand that your iPhone or iPad is stuck in recovery mode - the iTunes logo is displayed on the device's screen. Rebooting the device in such cases does not always help. In most cases, after a reboot, the depressing iTunes logo appears on the screen again.
iMyFone Fixppo frees iPhone and iPad from eternal recovery mode with the click of just one button. Previously, we reviewed many similar utilities, but we definitely haven’t seen such a simple way to solve the problem before.
In order to remove an iPhone or iPad from recovery mode in the utility, just select the item Enter/Exit Recovery Mode and connect the device to the computer. The program automatically detects a device that is in recovery mode and allows you to return it to working condition by pressing one button.
It takes less than 30 seconds to get your iPhone or iPad out of recovery mode. After this, the device immediately turns on, and the utility itself signals that the process was successful.
This mode makes it possible to enter the device into recovery mode. This option can be useful if you want to perform a clean installation of iOS on your iPhone or iPad.
iPhone won't turn on, Apple logo frozen, black screen, constant reboots? Any problem is easily solved
Others, including more serious software errors on iPhone and iPad, can also be resolved using the iMyFone Fixppo utility. To do this, the program has a Standard Mode, which is responsible for correcting a lot of various software failures.
The utility can fix popular problems associated with:
- Apple logo stuck on the screen
- the occurrence of cyclic reboots,
- inability to turn on iPhone or iPad,
- The device freezes with a completely black or white screen.
In all of the above cases, the work comes into play Standard Mode, which is also easy to use.
We tested this life-saving mode on an iPad Air that sat idle for several weeks with the Apple logo frozen on the screen. First of all, the utility automatically determines the device model and its firmware number, which is immediately offered to download. A very convenient option, since you don’t have to look for the required firmware on third-party resources and worry that the required version of iOS may not be suitable for a particular device.
After the firmware download is complete, all you have to do is click on the button Start and enter the device into following the instructions on the screen. The utility itself “understands” what happened to your device and, again, automatically solves the problem. At the same time, which is very important, the program warns whether the recovery will be completed without data loss or whether the problem turned out to be so serious that data deletion cannot be avoided.
It took only 15 minutes to rid the iPad Air of the frozen Apple logo, of which 5 minutes were loading the firmware. Then the tablet was ready for full-fledged work. Moreover, the restoration took place without losing any data - all information and applications remained in place.
Fixing iTunes Errors
Many iPhone and iPad users prefer not to use iTunes due to its complexity and the possibility of various strange errors. For example, iTunes may tell you “Error 14 occurred while installing iOS” and leave it at that. The Apple utility does not provide any recommendations for further actions.
Luckily, iMyFone Fixppo can fix all the most common iTunes errors that users may encounter. The same Standard Mode is responsible for recovery, which requires just a few clicks to launch.
“Expert mode”: password reset on iPhone and iPad, solving complex problems
iMyFone Fixppo also has a special expert mode that allows you to get rid of the most difficult problems with iOS devices. For example, if the iPhone or iPad turned into a “brick” as a result of installing a new version of iOS and does not want to be restored to anything. Even using the standard mode of the iMyFone Fixppo utility.
When using expert mode, it is important to understand that its use implies a complete reset of the device during the recovery operation. In other words, the iPhone or iPad is reset to its factory state. However, when the gadget just sits there and doesn’t even turn on, the main task is to restore its functionality.
This is what the regime does Advanced Mode. Initially, like the normal mode, it determines the device model and downloads the required firmware for it. If the firmware was downloaded by the utility before, while using the normal mode, then you will not have to download it again.
Then all that remains is to enter your iPhone or iPad into DFU recovery mode by following the on-screen instructions. Then the utility does everything itself, namely, it finds out the cause of the failure and eliminates it. 15-20 minutes and the device “comes to life”.
An important feature of expert mode is the ability to reset the password on an iPhone or iPad. It is important to note that along with the password, all data is deleted from the device. In addition, after resetting the password, the device will require you to enter your Apple ID password. If you, as the owner of the gadget, have this data, then resetting a forgotten or accidentally set password will not be difficult.
Bottom line
iMyFone Fixppo is an excellent utility that can help out in a variety of situations. It is very effective, but at the same time extremely easy to use. Due to this, even inexperienced users will be able to save money and bring their iOS devices back to life without having to contact service centers.
Often, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users are given the opportunity to see a black screen showing a USB cable running to iTunes. The stability of iOS is rated with the highest marks, but no one is immune from such a turn of events. Today we will tell you how to get out of this situation, and at the same time we will tell you in more detail about Recovery Mode.
Recovery mode is not the most pleasant sight for an unprepared user. The i-device turns on, but instead of the friendly loading screen it shows the picture already described above with a USB cable and the iTunes icon. This can happen for various reasons, but the most common is an error when updating iOS.
If you follow the advice displayed on the device screen and connect it to iTunes, the program will offer the easiest way - recovery. Were all your data and apps backed up yesterday? Feel free to restore! In another (and most common) case, you can try to bypass Recovery Mode without deleting all data from the device’s memory.
How to exit recovery mode:
- Reboot your device. Hold down the Home and Power buttons and do not release for 15 seconds. Then turn it on by holding down the Power button for a few seconds.
- If the first method does not lead to exiting recovery mode, use the special TinyUmbrella utility
- If the data on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch is not particularly valuable or the full backup was made recently, restore the device through iTunes by clicking Restore.
Based on the fact that the last method is not suitable for everyone, and the first method does not help as often as we would like, it is necessary to consider the operation of the TinyUmbrella program in more detail:
Step 1: Download and Launch TinyUmbrella
Step 2: Connect the device in recovery mode to your computer
Step 3. Click on the unidentified device that appears in the left column
Step 4. On the right side of the window, click the button Exit Recovery
Step 5: Wait for the device to reboot
After following these steps, your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can successfully exit recovery mode without losing any data. If this does not happen, a major failure has occurred and there is nothing left to do but restore the device using iTunes.
How to enter iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch into Recovery Mode yourself
Step 1: Turn off your device
Step 2: Press and hold the Home button
Step 3: Connect the USB cable to your device
After completing these steps, a notification will appear on the screen indicating that your device is ready to interact with iTunes, during which you can perform a hard reset, restore, or flash your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
Speaking of iPhone. Before you put your smartphone into recovery mode and start flashing the firmware, make sure that your model is officially unlocked.
Friends, we previously talked about our experience of getting an iPhone out of recovery mode (cord and iTunes) using a program, and judging by the comments, this method was useful to many. But some novice users did not manage to get into their computer, since additional Java and Net Framework modules are required for this program to work. Even after installing these modules, TinyUmbrella had problems launching, leaving iPhones and iPads with the same black screen, cord, and iTunes icon. I had to look for an alternative.
If you have not read the previous instructions, then I will explain in a nutshell what we will do today - if iTunes and the cable connecting to it appear on the screen of your iPhone, iPod or iPad, then sometimes you can restore the device without losing information than we can and we'll do it today.
In order to make it easier to get your iPhone or iPad out of a looped recovery mode, we found another program that is easier to launch and use, it is called RedSn0w, it does not require the installation of additional components, it starts and works immediately after installation. Where to get RedSn0w is written here:
Sometimes users think that in order for the iPhone to work with the RedSn0w program, the phone must be jailbroken with . But this is not true; they are not needed for the procedure for removing the phone from recovery mode.
Getting iPhone out of recovery mode
We connect our iPhone, which has fallen into permanent recovery mode after error 3194, to the computer. I don’t know for sure whether it needs to be installed on the computer, but when preparing this instruction we had it installed. If you have read the link above and downloaded RedSn0w, run the redsn0w.exe file and see only two buttons in the program itself.
We need the Extras button, click it and see several more different buttons. To exit recovery mode, click – Recovery Fix
RedSn0w notifies:
A simple version of “Recovery Fix” has been applied to your iPhone. The more comprehensive version is not currently available for A5 or later devices.
Click the OK button and watch our iPhone reboot. After the reboot, we no longer see the cord and iTunes on the screen, the phone works again, and all the information remains in its place. If, after clicking the Recovery Fix button in the RedSn0w program, your iPhone does not restore its functionality, then it means it has fallen into .
Apple devices are distinguished by a high level of reliability. Errors in them occur very rarely, “glitches” occur infrequently. Thanks to this, they have earned the honorary title of the most reliable and error-resistant smartphones/tablets. However, in some cases, errors still occur, which leads to incorrect operation of the devices. What to do if your iPhone or iPad starts to behave incorrectly or stops loading altogether? How to enter recovery mode on iPhone or tablet?
In this article we will look at:
- How to start recovery mode on iPhone and iPad;
- How to enter DFU mode;
- What is the difference between recovery mode and DFU mode?
After reading this material, you will receive maximum information about restoring the functionality of Apple devices.
We have already talked many times about restoring iPhone and iPad using DFU mode. Now we need to learn a new term - this is recovery mode (or Recovery Mode). It allows you to get rid of errors in the functionality of smartphones/tablets and perform a factory reset. How is it different from DFU mode? The main difference is that user data in the internal memory remains safe and sound.
The recovery mode also has the following differences:
- Components and modules of the operating system are rolled back to factory settings, but are not created anew;
- All parameters are reset to factory settings;
- The integrity of the file system is checked - the devices are prepared for correct startup.
The same DFU mode provides for the complete deletion of all user data, complete formatting of the internal memory and re-creation of modules and components - that is, it is as if a complete reinstallation of the entire operating system occurs.
Despite the safety of the recovery mode, you still need to create backup copies before entering this mode - who knows what could happen to important data?
We have already talked about how to enter DFU mode and restore the operating system to its original factory state. To do this, you need to hold down the Power key and the Home key, wait 10 seconds, release the Power key and continue to hold the Home key for another 10 seconds. Next, release the key and go to DFU mode - all this time the smartphone/tablet must remain connected to the computer.
Please note that when entering DFU mode, iTunes must be running on your computer, which will restore your device. It will recognize the device connected in DFU mode and prompt you to take the appropriate actions.
In order to enter recovery mode on your iPad or iPhone (Recovery Mode), you must perform other steps. First, turn off the device completely - its screen should turn black. Next, click on the “Home” button and connect the smartphone/tablet to the computer. After a couple of seconds, the iTunes application icon will appear on the device’s display – recovery mode is activated. By clicking on the corresponding button in iTunes itself, you will start restoring the operating system.
Here we see another difference between the recovery mode and the DFU mode - in the contents of the screen. If you enter DFU mode, the screen will be black, and iTunes will notify you about working in this mode. In Recovery Mode, the iTunes application icon will appear on the screen with the cable connected. In addition, when entering recovery mode, iTunes must be turned off on your computer - launch it after the logo of this application appears on the screen.
Putting your iPhone into these modes does not affect your warranty, so you can use these modes as many times as needed. But what if you suddenly change your mind about returning your Apple device to its original condition? How to get iPhone or iPad out of recovery mode? This is done literally with one click of a button. The main thing is to think about your actions before the start of recovery, and not during the procedure.
To exit recovery mode, disconnect your iPhone from the computer and press the power button. Hold the button for 10 seconds until the smartphone reboots. After that, it should start normally, ensuring the operating system starts. Exit recovery mode on iPad in a similar way.
Do not under any circumstances interrupt an already running recovery - by doing so, you will harm your gadgets and damage the operating system.
Probably every user of an iPhone, iPad tablet or iPod touch has at least once during their use observed a black screen with an image of a USB cable and the iTunes icon. If you see a cable and iTunes on the screen of your iPhone, this means that the phone is in recovery mode (in English – Recovery Mode). This same recovery mode can be turned on forcibly; if you are interested in how this is done, read the note about how to do it manually.
Sometimes a screen with a USB cable and the iTunes icon appears as a result of unsuccessful updates or flashing iOS, and when connecting to iTunes, a notification appears with the text:
iTunes detected your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this device before using it in iTunes.
Sometimes such unpleasant moments happen: the iPhone does not turn on, i.e. turn on, it turns on, but iOS does not load.
2. Launch the TinyUmbrella application. There are versions for and for.
3. Enter iPhone into DFU Mode (instructions at the bottom of the page).
4. In the application, click the Fix Recovery button after TinyUmbrella detects your device.
5. Confirm the action.
6. After this, the application will turn off the device and you can turn it on normally.
The TinyUmbrella app also allows you to enter and exit your smartphone into Recovery Mode without using a force reboot or iPhone buttons.

The very last method that we will consider does not involve the use of specialized programs. It is the most drastic and allows you to definitely get your smartphone out of the recovery loop.
This method is a complete firmware recovery via iTunes in DFU Mode. We have already given this iOS recovery method, and you should know that in this case you will lose all saves and data from the device memory.

If such a situation arises, do not be upset, the problem can be solved by yourself in almost any situation, if it arose at the software level - simply by restoring the firmware. On devices with the iOS operating system, updating and restoring the firmware can be done simply by switching it to Recovery or DFU Mode.
