Recovery Mode Iphone Xr
Zulema Estabrooks
Hi there, yesterday afternoon I tried updating my iPhone X to the new IOS 16.02. I was charging my phone through my Mac because I did not have a charger on hand. I left it to start the update and came back to see my phone had entered recovery mode. Then I followed the steps on support.apple.com/iphone/restore and I started the process of updating my phone through my laptop. However, the problem is my iPhone keeps restarting after roughly 30 minutes. My internet is rather slow so I cannot download the 5.33gb update before the device restarts. I am not sure what to do, even if I try to restore the device it still requires the update and I have no more solutions that I can think of. Any help will be great. Thank you
Hi there again, so today when I tried to follow the extra steps that you had provided. The pop up screen had changed, I was no longer able to just merely update the phone while keeping its data, I was only given the option to restore the phone. I ended up doing so, because I had backed up not too long ago so nothing crucial was lost. Regardless, thank you for the help.
To put your iPhone in recovery mode, you'll need to use the three-button sequence above. Make sure you keep holding the side/power button down even after the phone's restarted and shows the Apple logo. Only let go when your phone displays the recover mode screen, shown here.
You'll then be able to pick whether you update or restore the iPhone to factory settings. It's best to start with Update first, as it'll reinstall iOS to try and fix the issue. Only go for Restore the iPhone if that fails, since that'll mean waving goodbye to any data saved on your phone.

Once the reset is done, you will either be able to set the iPhone into data recovery mode (shown here), or set it up from scratch if it was fully reset. Either way, you shouldn't lose much if any data if you have an iPhone backup set-up.
Read more about how to back up your iPhone in this guide so you're prepared in case of situations like this.
\nFrom start to finish, the whole process took us the best part of an hour to complete. If you're reading this in advance of trying to put your own iPhone into recovery mode, then ensure you set aside some time where you can babysit your phone through the process.
It's worth knowing what iPhone recovery mode is, in case of emergency. It's a last resort for getting your iPhone to work if it's completely frozen, or a computer or other device doesn't recognize it. It's also what you can do to open up an iPhone that's been disabled from too many incorrect password attempts.
Note: This guide relies on the fact that your iPhone still has functional buttons. If your phone's damaged in a way that stops you from doing the necessary button presses (see step 3), you'll have to take it into Apple for fixing and restoring.
Alternatively, with your iPhone turned off, press and hold the side button while plugging the iPhone into your computer. Keep holding as the Apple logo appears on screen, and you should also enter recovery mode.
If you do this without having your iPhone plugged in, you'll hard reset your iPhone instead. This could solve your problem, but it isn't the same as recovery mode, which we're focusing on here.
You'll then be able to pick whether you update or restore the iPhone to factory settings. It's best to start with Update first, as it'll reinstall iOS to try and fix the issue. Only go for Restore the iPhone if that fails, since that'll mean waving goodbye to any data saved on your phone.

Just to say for those who have issues putting their phones on recovery or DFU mode and this can happen with iphones
Download ReiBoot which is a tool that would do that for you then restore your phone via iTunes making sure your iTunes is up today , thus should get rid of activation error
Hope this would help
Important: Putting your iPhone into recovery mode may also factory reset it, meaning that all of its data will be erased and you'll have to set it up again afterwards. As such, treat recovery mode as a last resort.
Hey guys, i can't recommend replacing the battery of your iPhone yourself. I did it just as it is shown in the guide here, replaced the battery (did not scratch anything) gently, but now my iPhone is stuck in some sort of recovery mode loop. It only turns on when its connected to my computer. I have to restore it, but right after it has been restored it sets itself back in recovery mode. Putting it into DFU mode is not possible (since it shows only the "connect to iTunes logo"), exiting the Recovery mode with tiny umbrella or iReb doesn't work either. It sets it back but the loop continues. I tried everything (putting the old battery back in) but it still shows the same symptoms. Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Hello I change the batterie in my iPhone 5 and it stuck.dosent work the switch on off button and the home button. I do all the steps as you said but nothing again.what I have to do else.my best regards
FIXED! Changed the battery and got stuck in boot loop, after an all day battle some praying and research turned up the screws on the lcd display / sound ribbon cover are very specific in length on each corner, if you put the long screw in the short screw hole (.1mm diff lol) or over tighten them they will tap into the board below and cause the phone not to boot up.
in this case, when you are doing the job for your self, get some 4x4 inches little magnet mat so you can place the screws in order or even draw the metal lcd logic board cable holder. so that way you won't mix them. but if you do mix them out don't put them back so you won't harm your phone motherboard
I think before you try anything too adventurous it's better to make sure everything is properly back in place. I for instance, discovered that the battery connector tab was not lying flatly, and was not making good contact and was therefore affecting the ability of the phone to charge. It only requires that one of the screws be fouling and not properly driven in. Good Luck
When I opened my phone again and looked at where the power button is, I noticed it wasn't laying flat. I pushed it back down and then put everything back together. I then plugged my phone into the computer just until the apple logo popped up and then unplugged it like you said and it solved the loop issue and I was able to proceed with the restore process. THANK YOU SO MUCH! you just saved this poor college student some serious cash
The software is called tiny umbrella. You launch the software and you connect your iphone to usb via computer. You will see your phone on the right list and then you select it. There is a button on the software called exit recovery and you click that, unplugged your iPhone from computer and it should self boot again out of recovery mode.
this is one reason after replacing the battery and going recovery mode, and the home button and screen lock key does not work. Microcircuit U3 74AUP2G34GN Menu&power/hold key singnal amplifier is disconnected.
I tighten the screws too much. But when I loosen some of the screws I tighten, the problem is solved ! My iPhone 5S stopped the apple logo loops and it continues the process and asked me my passcode !
So i was curious and wanted to try out the public beta. but then out of nowhere my phone was unable to connect to my carrier (At&t) i check the site and other friends to make sure it wasn't the network. so of course I called apple support. they told me to reset to factory setting and try again.
I managed to reset it so then i got home plugged it to itunes and then tried to restore it. then phone put itself in recovery mode and then phone started the process but then about 3/4 of the way an error message popped up.
tried again a few times, same message. consulted the semi-wonderful realm of Youtube to see what i was doing wrong, even put phone in DFU mode.. same error message... so basically i have a nice paperweight iphone 5c right now... and apple doesn't want to help at all. what do i do??
