How to put an iPhone into 'recovery mode' using iTunes, and repair it when it's malfunctioning


An iPhone in recovery mode is almost entirely useless to someone. At that point, it’s effectively become an expensive brick! It’s an incredibly frustrating situation to be in, especially since you may lose all the data on your device if you haven’t backed it up in a while.

It can be incredibly frustrating when you have no clue how to restore iPhone in recovery mode. A wide range of issues could possibly cause an iPhone to go into recovery mode. The most common issues that could cause this have to do with the Operating System (OS) itself. Nonetheless, you may be confident that there are avenues to restoring an iPhone once it is in recovery mode.
Today I’ll be briefly discussing a couple of simple option for you to restore iPhone in recovery mode with iTunes, as well as restore iPhone without iTunes.

Restore iPhone in Recovery Mode with iTunes (All Data Erased)

The first option is to use iTunes to restore an iPhone in recovery mode. You should always ensure that you have the most updated version of iTunes on your computer. Use the following steps to complete that process.
  1. Start by connecting your USB to your computer only.
  2. Hold the power button until the below screen appears then slide to power it off.
    1. Hold down the iPhone’s home button then connect it to the USB cable that was already connected to your computer. You will first see the Apple logo which then changes to the recovery logo as seen below.
    2. Restore iPhone in Recovery Mode
    3. Once you’ve seen the recovery logo, as shown above, release the home button. At that point, your iPhone will be in recovery.
    4. Now direct your attention to iTunes. It should display a dialog box confirming that you’re in recovery mode. In that box you can then click "Restore", as seen below, to restore the device to a previously saved backup file.
