Apple’s iPhone is probably the most-hyped gadget ever created but it is not problem free.

Hopefully you don’t face that issue but whether you know would like to know how to bail out of a situation where your iPhone is not restoring to resolve most of the documented errors on the iPhone or wondered how much free space should be kept on your iPhone, next read on.

                                            Use “Recovery Mode” as the last option to rescue your iPhone

We all know that restoring the iPhone using iTunes is a troubleshooting lifesaver as it helps resolve most of the documented errors on the iPhone faced so far, particularly critical whether you have tried one of those iPhone hacks which has caused your iPhone to behave abnormally. However, what does one do when restoring itself does not work, there is no reason to panic, as here is an iPhone tip to get you out of precisely that situation.

It is the iPhone’s “Recovery Mode”, which is a mode in which you can force the iTunes to restore the iPhone to resolve any of the errors. You need to follow these steps to put the iPhone in recovery mode:

• Disconnect your iPhone from your Mac or Windows computer.
• Press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously for about 20-30 seconds, until you see a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in the middle accompanied by the text “Please Connect to iTunes.”
• Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes whether it does not automatically launch.
• You should see the below image

• After that you can restore your iPhone by clicking the Restore button under the Summary tab. Hopefully you don’t have to use that iPhone tip, but in case you get in that situation, you now know to get out of it.
