What to Do When Your iPhone Gets Stuck in Recovery Mode

If your iPhone has been stuck in Recovery Mode with no progress on the Restore screen, follow these steps:

  1. Disconnect your iPhone from the computer connected to Recovery Mode to prevent it from going back into Recovery Mode after restarting.
  2. On iPhone 8 or newer, press and release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button. Next, press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears.
  3. On iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, press and hold both the Volume Down and Power buttons until the Apple logo is displayed.
  4. On iPhone 6S and older, press and hold the Home and Power buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

If you’re lucky, a forced restart will solve the issue and your iPhone will return to normal. However, if your device restarts and returns to the Restore screen, you’ll need to reinstall iOS to resolve the problem.
