How to get out of a restore/recovery loop

Posted by nkbish0p at 14:29 2

Tweet Sometimes, rarely your device may get stuck in what is known as a restore or recovery loop. When this happens, iTunes will keep informing you that your device needs to be restored, no matter how many times you restore it.

This error may also come up in iTunes as error 1013

There are several ways to get out of this loop and sometimes some work better than others. My suggestion would be to start off by downloading Tiny Umbrella from here. You can then use the "kick device out of recovery mode" or "exit recovery" to hopefully get your device out of the loop.

If this does not work, try reading this post as this also seems to be a good method and has worked for me in the past.
