how do i get out of recovery mode — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:22:05 +0000

somehow my phone got into recovery mode, I cannot get it out of this mode. It shows the logo on the top of this page, but cannot get the phone to start again. Also, I cannot lose the data because I have 2 voicemails on my phone that I need to use for court proceedings. HELP.

OK guys n gals…maybe i’m a little jaded here but the term ‘recovery’ is being misrepresented here and ‘restore’ should really be called ‘reset’…the situation i face is similar to those described – plug iphone into pc/proceed with update download via ‘itunes’/watch as your son freaks out because the update bar froze up/ try in vain to help your son/ talk to the freakin”geniuses’ who only smirk and calmly say ‘it needs to be restored’ ‘have you backed up your data’ – well yes…yes i have but the laptop which contains the itunes with which the back up was done fried and is in the shop on life support. The response from the ‘geniuses’; “oh”. That’s it? “oh” The end-all-be-all-of phone/email/internet/app gadgetry and some sub-standard coding which causes the download to hiccup and there is only ONE option, to start over? We are not talking about a simplistic flash-rom drive here…engineers designed and built this thing and they damn well know how to retrieve data from an iphone in ‘recovery mode’ or at least get itunes to recognize the iphone so that the download can continue. i do not feel that in this day and age we should expect anything less than actual, bonafide, tech-support. tell me i’m off base…why should my son or anyone else have to reset and lose anything, ever? that is weak. someone, somewhere give me a REAL solution – i will gladly pay for services

I've jailbroken my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 with pwnage, it has been succesfully jailbroken but then in the settings tab, I've selected to delete all the data & settings. Now I cannot start my iPhone, just apple logo appears. Can't connect to USB, cannot go to recovery mode.

PLEASE HELP

I got it…You have to turn off your phone first, then press the home button and conect it to the USB cable. The iphone it will turn on by itself and keep pressing the home button until the apple logo desapear and them release it.
