Recover from Recovery Mode loop

If you try to update the firmware, you might be stuck in the "Connect to iTunes"-recovery mode although you didn't change any bit of the firmware (e.g. because of some freakin' errors of iTunes). You now have the choice between a long firmware+backup restore - or get your iPhone back running in about 30 seconds. The procedure is described at ihackintosh.com. Do yourself a favor and don't try it in Windows. Installing libusb there broke something and after a reboot of Windows, all USB devices didn't work and hat yellow exclamation marks in the Windows device manager. Under Linux, it's easy as pie. These instructions are for Ubuntu:

get iRecovery source code and install build-essential as well as libusb-dev
compile iRecovery
get the iPhone into recovery mode:
- switch it completely off, disconnect all cables
- hold down the ▢ Home button
- keep the button down while connecting it to the PC
- wait until the "Connect to iTunes" logo appears, then release the ▢ Home button
now run: ./irecovery -s
wait for the prompt (]) and enter the following commands: (if fsboot doesn't do anything, type reboot)
{% highlight text %} ] setenv auto-boot true ] saveenv ] fsboot {% endhighlight %}
your iPhone should now boot normally
