I did Recovery Mode Update today, which worked but the screens were not what I recall from a year or so ago. Once the update was installed I saw a white screen with “Swipe up to recover” -> enter passcode (2x) -> white screen "Attempting Data Recovery" with progress bar (2x) -> Finally to recovered lock screen.
Is this normal?

When I entered Recovery Mode on the phone this is what appears:
On the computer, this is what is displayed:
I never see the case where I am asked to enter my passcode and it never indicates it is doing a restore. Did your user data get wiped out?
it’s strange. I’ve done this many time on iOS 13/14, all as you say. It starts just as you show, but the last two times I’ve done on iPhone 13 Pro (15.2 and 15.2.1) the iphone restarts and shows a blank white screen with “swipe up to restore”, then it requests passcode on a gray screen, then verify passcode. Then the screen shown in picture. Takes a long time - like 10 min or so. Eventually I see my Lock Screen and unlock iPhone normally.
only thing that’s different is that i back up the iPhone to my Mac mini (Catalina), and do the restore/update on an M1 MacBook (Monterey). I’ll have to look into this more.…
Neither. I did recovery update which downloads and installs 15.2.1, today. Last time im pretty sure i did a dfu mode install of IPSW file. I didnt take any notes, but I think the same thing happened.
strange: there are reports (and pics) of these white screen messages, but the sources are not great. Haven't found anything that explains what causes this …

It could be that it has to do with your M1 Mac running macOS 12. Try using the Mac running Catalina.
Perhaps but the Google results show reports of this going back to iOS 12 and/or 13… I’ll check that next time there’s an update.
There’s nothing to worry about. That happens when there’s a hiccup during the update process and iOS does a recovery of data. You could try the recovery update immediately after the recovery is finished and it wouldn’t happen.
Can’t speak to what causes it but all your data is fine.
Thanks. This is helpful. Most of the references online are about the screens showing up when things do NOT finish up well. Would you happen to have any sources that explain these screens? Nothing on apple.com....
I’ve had this happen more than a couple times since last year. All my data was intact after the recovery process.
My guess is that it happens when the update didn’t pass all the integrity checks they have in place to make sure the process went well and iOS tries to recover any files that may have been affected. Don’t have any resources on these but personal experience as a software developer.
Seems fine so far. I have not noticed a regression.
Guess you’re not the kind who plays around with their iPhone after an update. I don’t know what the threshold is but yeah, I’ve seen it a few times over the years.
I think it’s iOSs way of saying “Get a life!”
