Share This:

Are you having trouble getting your iPhone 8 out of Recovery Mode? Don’t worry – it’s a common issue and there are a few simple steps you can take to get your device back up and running.
First, unplug the device from the USB cable. Then, hold down the Sleep/Wake button (or Side, depending on your model) until the iPhone turns off. After that, release the button and wait for the Apple logo to appear. Once it does, let go of the button and your device will start up normally again.
It’s important to note that if you’re using an older version of iOS (10 or earlier), you may need to use iTunes or Finder to restore your device instead. To do this, connect your iPhone 8 to a computer using its USB cable, then open iTunes/Finder on that computer and follow the instructions given.
Finally, if you’re still unable to exit Recovery Mode on your iPhone 8 after following these steps, it may be time to consider resetting it. To do this, go into Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings. Keep in mind that this will delete all data from your device so make sure you have a backup first!

Then release both buttons and wait for your device to restart. Once it has restarted, you can press and hold the side button again to turn it back on.

Resetting an iPhone: Does it Delete Everything?

Yes, resetting your iPhone does delete everything. When you reset your iPhone, it will completely erase the device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay, photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services. After resetting your iPhone, you will need to set it up again as if it were brand new.

Resetting an iPhone Manually

To manually reset your iPhone, you will first need to back up your phone’s data. This can be done by connecting your iPhone to your computer and opening iTunes. From there, select the “Back Up Now” button in the “Summary” tab of your device information. Once the backup is complete, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Enter your passcode and confirm the erasure by selecting “Erase iPhone.” After this process is complete, you can restore your device from the backup that you just created in iTunes.

Resetting an iPhone Without Losing Data

If you want to reset your iPhone without deleting everything, the best way is to back up your data first. This can be done through iCloud, iTunes, or a third-party service. Once you have backed up your information, go to Settings > General > Reset and select ‘Erase All Content and Settings’. Your phone will then be reset without deleting any of your data.

What is iPhone Recovery Mode?

IPhone recovery mode is a feature built into the iPhone that enables you to reset your device and restore it to its original factory settings. This can be useful if you are experiencing serious software issues or if you want to erase all of the data on your device before giving it away. To enter recovery mode, first, connect your iPhone to a computer using an Apple-certified Lightning cable, then press and hold both the Home button and the Power button until the device’s screen goes black. You should then see the iTunes logo onscreen; when this appears, release both buttons. From there, you can use iTunes to access recovery mode and reset your device.

Getting Out of Stuck Recovery Mode

If you are stuck in recovery mode, the first thing you should do is try to reboot your phone by pressing the Volume keys to locate the option Reboot system now in the recovery mode, then use the Power button to confirm the option. This should cause your phone to reboot and return to normal mode.

If that doesn’t work, however, you may need to perform a hard reset. To do this, turn off your phone and remove any memory cards or SIM cards it has. Then press and hold both the Volume Up and Power buttons at the same time until you see an Android logo appear on your screen. Once it appears, release both buttons and use the Volume Down button to navigate through the options until you find one labeled Wipe Data/Factory Reset or Reset All Settings. Select this option with the Power button and follow any on-screen prompts until your device resets itself. Once it does, it should be back in normal mode again.

Conclusion

In summary, the best way to exit your iPhone 8 is to press and hold the side button until the power-off slider appears. Once you have dragged the slider, wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, you can force-restart it. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo. Additionally, if you need to factory reset your iPhone 8, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, if you are stuck in iPhone Recovery Mode, unplug it from the USB cable and hold down the Sleep/Wake button (or Side) until the iPhone turns off and then let it go. Keep holding until the Apple logo reappears and let go of the button – your device will start up again.
