Summary
To get out of iPhone recovery mode, backup iPhone data, and exit recovery mode without data loss, follow these steps: First, connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes installed. If your iPhone is in recovery mode, iTunes will detect it and prompt you to restore or update your iPhone.
"You've downloaded iOS 7.0.2 and tried to upgrade your iPhone 5, but it got stuck in a recovery mode loop. What would you like to do about it?"
"The last time when I was updated my iPhone 4 was probably a year ago, so I updated it to iOS 7 when the operating system was official released. But during the process, I encountered an unknown error from iTunes and now my device is stuck in recovery mode. please help!"
Updating your iPhone can sometimes go wrong, resulting in errors during the upgrade process. If you encounter issues, you might end up with your iPhone stuck in recovery mode, displaying a "Connect to iTunes" screen. If you're experiencing this problem, don't worry - there are solutions available to help you get out of recovery mode and back to using your iPhone normally.
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the computer you normally sync with, and run iTunes. You may need to hold the Home button while connecting the USB cable.
Step 2. When a device is in recovery mode, iTunes will detect this and prompt the user to restore the phone from a backup, allowing them to recover their data and settings.
To avoid data loss when exiting iPhone recovery mode, ensure you have a recent backup of your device's data, either through iCloud or iTunes. This way, when you restore your iPhone, all user content will be replaced by the data in the backup file, preventing any potential loss of data. If you haven't backed up recently, consider using the "Restore from iTunes Backup" or "Restore from iCloud Backup" option during the iPhone setup process to select a backup file and restore your data. This will help you recover your data and settings, minimizing the risk of data loss.
To safely restore your iPhone, it's best to backup your device using a third-party app, such as Qiling MobiSaver, before the process. This software allows you to easily copy your iPhone data, including text messages, contacts, pictures, notes, and more, to your computer in recovery mode. With its user-friendly interface, even those with little knowledge of iPhone data recovery can operate the software to export 12 different types of data from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Step 1. Choose the Recovery Mode
Connect your iPhone to your PC and launch Qiling MobiSaver. Choose the recovery mode "Recover from iOS Device" and click "Start".
Step 2. Scan iPhone and Find Lost Data
