When I used the Pwnage Tool to jailbreak my iPhone, there is a method to enter Recovery Mode. It involves with several steps and correct timing for pushing the right button at the right time. I found a quicker and simpler way. Here are the steps.
- Press and hold the sleep button for a few seconds. Slide the red button to turn it off.
- Hold the home button and connect your iPhone to the computer with iTunes running.
That’s it.
Great, Thank You. The timming issue was killing me, this method took all the work out of it.
Ha! Thanks man.. that’s much better.
So much easier! Thank you, thank you!
Ahhhhh!!!!! The skies opened and god looked down and said “you may now use your iPhone.” Thank you!!!!!!
worked like a charm…one note: hold the home button until the itunes and usb cable appear on the screen of the iphone.
I was trying to upgrade my iPhone and some how it got stuck on restore mode. Is it the same thing as \recovery mode\? And can I follow the same steps??
yes it is the same step

If you just want to shutdown iPhone, do the step 1 only.
Thank you sooooooooooo much!

If your iTunes is not the latest version, update it first. Then, connect your iPhone in recovery mode to the computer with iTunes open and see if you can restore your iPhone.
