How to Put iPhone, iPad and iPod into Recovery Mode
We need to put iPhone or iPad into recovery mode when the device is non-responsive and not recognized by iTunes. While recovery mode is able to restore iPhone or iPad to make it a totally new device, it will also delete all data on it. So it's not recommended to put your iPhone or iPad into recovery mode if you don't have any backup in advance. But if it's a must-do situation, you can follow the instructions below to perform a recovery-mode restore for your iPhone or iPad. Besides, if you lost all the files after recovery mode, you can easily get them back with iOS Data Recovery tool.
