Recovery Mode
Revision as of 23:17, 29 March 2010 by .::Rizwan::. (talk | contribs)
Recovery Mode is a failsafe in iBoot that is used to reflash the device with a new OS, whether the currently installed one is somehow damaged or the device is undergoing an upgrade via iTunes.
Entering Recovery Mode
- Turn the device completely off and disconnect it from cable/dock.
- Hold down the home button.
- While holding down the home button connect to a computer with a cable (easiest) or dock.
- Keep holding down the home button until you see a connect-to-iTunes screen (on a QuickPwn'ed phone a drawing of Steve might be shown). You are now in recovery mode.
To escape Recovery Mode and power the phone off simply hold down power and home buttons for ten seconds.
Note: This method not works in iPhone 2G.
Protocols
- Recovery Mode 0x1280 in pre-2.0
- Recovery Mode 0x1281 in 2.0 and above
