How to Enter and Exit Recovery Mode on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad (Fix Stuck in Recovery Mode)

0

All iOS devices are capable of going into what is called “Recovery Mode”. This is mainly used to forcibly restore a device, regardless of any pass code or password protections in place. It is also used a lot when jailbreaking iOS devices, and when using certain tools with already jailbroken devices. There are a lot of different reasons why people may want to put their device into recovery mode or get it out of it, and this tutorial should hopefully give you the ability to enter and exit recovery mode with ease.

This method of entering and exiting recovery mode will require either a Windows or Mac computer, and for your device to be plugged into that computer. It is easy to enter recovery mode without the aid of a computer, simply hold the home button while booting up. However, it isn’t always straightforward to exit recovery mode without a computer.

Requirements & Notes:

  • This requires a Mac or Windows computer.
  • This will not fix all recovery mode issues. If your device is only partially restored and therefore in recovery mode, you will need to restore in iTunes.
