Hello all. My wife has a 4s that when u try to turn on goes straight to hook up to itunes. When hooked to itunes it says it identifies a iphone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. When trying to restore it pops up unable to restore due to unknown "error 21". It is a sprint phone. Software said up to date. Thx
 
What was done on the device prior to it going into Recovery Mode.
 
Nothing just turned on this am and a little wheel like thing was spinning and hasnt worked since. Worked fine last night.
 
Use TinyUmbrella and see if a Recovery Fix boots the device out of its current state. Windows || Mac OSX

Simply plug in your device, run TinyUmbrella (as an administrator if applicable), then click on Recovery Fix.
 
Not jailbroken. Original phone from box. On sprint network
 
Try using another computer. This happened to mine a week ago. My drivers were Corrupted and I couldn't update them so I took my phone to my mom's and used her computer and restored it
