What is Recovery Mode?

Recovery Mode is a failsafe in iBoot, the iOS booting system. It is put in place by Apple to help your iPhone to upgrade to a new version of iOS. In Addition, this mode uses iBoot to restore your iPhone as well. In recovery mode, your iPhone screen shows iTunes or computer logo on a black background.

Recovery Mode Loop

Recovery Mode Loop is a condition caused by software failures, usually from faulty iTunes software or incomplete iOS Update installation. It makes your device continuously boot into recovery mode even when you want it to boot in normal mode.

Sometimes a failed Jailbreak can also push your iPhone into Recovery Mode Loop. Additionally, there are other modes your iPhone can get into, like Boot Loop and DFU Mode. Please do learn about them.

What is RecBoot?

RecBoot is a very simple software which is available free to download online. RecBoot 1.3 and RecBoot 2.2 for Windows and Mac, respectively, don’t even need installation of supportive software like Java or .NET framework.

All you have to do is get RecBoot for Mac and Windows from our links. Then, run the software to enter/exit recovery mode with a single mouse click. This saves a lot of time.

But there is another reason why so many users opt for iOS Recovery software like RecBoot, instead of using iTunes. The reason is that by using RecBoot, you can retrieve your device to normalcy without losing data. That cannot be done by iTunes or any other Apple software.

Conclusion:

Overall, we really recommend downloading RecBoot and using it to solve your problem because of its ease of use. Even if it does not work, it does not cause any active harm to your devices and data.

RecBoot Alternatives

It is very possible that, despite your best efforts, you are still not getting the RecBoot software to run on your PC or Mac. This might be due to any number of problems. The main culprit would always be that RecBoot has not been updated for a long while now.

I had mentioned that in the Pros and Cons of RecBoot section clearly. Having said that, there are ample ways you can address this by simply switching to equally good, if not better, RecBoot like software. These are the best iOS System Repair tools that you can use for multiple purposes.

  1. iMyFone Fixppo
  2. Tenorshare ReiBoot
  3. UltFone iOS System Repair
  4. Wondershare Dr.Fone
  5. iToolab FixGo and
  6. FoneDog Toolkit for iOS

 

To know more about these software follow our guide on the top 6 free RecBoot alternatives. If you are still not able to revive your iOS device using any of these methods and tools, then consider taking your device to Apple at the nearby Apple Store or service center.

In case you are using a pre-owned iPhone, you should find out whether your iPhone is stolen or bought from the legitimate owner. That can solve the mystery behind the firmware malfunction.

  2. I have this problem where after I download it onto windows I don’t know how to run it so I can’t continue on with the process. My goal is to reset my disabled iPhone 5 but it has a broken home button so I cant do it the normal ways because they either involve turning on my iPhone (I forgot the password) or using the home button.

    Thanks

  3. When I run the program, I receive the following msg:
    “Access to the path ‘C:\Program Files\Common File\Apple\Apple Application Support’ is denied”

    I tried turning off virus protection with the same result.

    • Hi there, Luqman. There are two possible solutions to this problem. One is you should run this program, recboot, as administrator, through the right click. If that does not work, then turn off your antivirus and download the zip file again from our page and then unzip it and run the recboot file as administrator again, this might solve the problem completely. The missing file may be due to your antivirus suspecting the IPHUCWin32.exe as a harmful file while it is not. Please tell me if it worked.

  6. please help me out guys some error is irritating me please solve this problem

    “RecBoot.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

    our security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.

    • scho… Go to System Preferences .. ‘Security & Privacy’ .. look toward the bottom where you can ‘click to allow’ (or somesuch) That is, if you are a Mac user. Cheers.

  17. hi ,i have an iphone 5c , show me this : The Sim card that you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supprotedunder the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. this is not a hardware issue with the iphone. please insert another sim card from a supported carrier or request that this iphone be unlocked by your carrier.please contact apple for more information.
    i need help please !

    • Hi, I think your iPhone is carrier-locked. That means it was bought in a contract with one particular network provider carrier service. If you bought the phone yourself, you ought to know that. But I recon you bought it from someone else. In that case you can easily get rid of this problem by simply unlocking your iPhone using the numerous guides provided online or you can contact a local mobile repair store that can do this for you for a small sum of money. Hope that helped.

  32. hey friends with ios 8+, take out your sim card and then try it! I don’t know why but it worked

  33. not working with iOS 8.0.2 due to 32bit issue. Trying other tools now as mentioned in the article.

    • I just tried it and I can’t get it to work with iOS 8.0.2. It restarts the iPhone, and displays the Apple logo, but then just turns off. When I try to turn it back on it turns off again after about 10 seconds.

      • I had the same issue for two weeks, bought a 6 while I waited for a miracle to fix my 5 stuck on the boot loop like an update to tiny umbrella or reboot but nothing…guess what though?? On Saturday I checked the net as I regularly do and discovered iTunes had an update. I downloaded thinking there’s a tiny chance and to my surprise it gave me a choice to restore OR FIX!!! I did fix and it started doing something with the phone and crashed halfway saying it couldn’t go through. I cleared some space and restarted my computer and tried again. The iPhone 5 came back I life with all my 64 gigs of data…I hope this works for you, give it a try if you havent tried the update yet. First thing I did was backup everything.

        • Thanks for the heads up! I ended up finding a tip on another forum saying to login to my iCloud and manually remove the phone from my account and then try to restore. Voila! It worked. It was stuck in a boot loop and couldn’t restore because Find My iPhone was still enabled. Removing the iPhone from my account disabled Find My iPhone, which then allowed iTunes to verify the restore. Boom! Thanks for getting back to me tho! Hopefully other people will read our “tricks” and have some luck themselves. Peace!

  35. i just updated to 8.0.2 and am stuck on the recovery screen, tried recboot but still not luck.

    • Heat the left side of the back of your phone using a hairdryer at high heat. 3/8 from the top to be exact. That is where your eMMC (The root of the problem) and the hair dryer will reflow it. Try to power it on after 2 minutes of heating. It should turn on fine. Leave it on and heat it for another 5 minutes and everything will work like its brand new!

  37. Hello Abhijit,
    It didn’t work on in iphone 5 ios 7.1.2
    after pressing the (enter recovery mode) some error msg comes up- The program cant start because QTMLCLIENT.DLL is missing from your computer.

    • hi im getting an error “unhandled exception has occurred in your application” when opening up the Recboot.exe please help

      • Hi. This might help you. Step 1: Scan for any viruses in your PC. Step 2: Disable the your antivirus program until restart and download the file again from the site. Go on to install it this time. This might work since some antivirus programs treat such tools as malware. Thank you.
