Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)

That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

  • My iphone 5 is stuck on recovery mode and itunes is not detecting my phone when pluged in

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

    So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message.  After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen.  I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results.  I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone."  Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

    Hello rph30,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Then ultimately go through the recovery process:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • Iphone 4s Stuck in Dfu Mode and Itunes and tiny umbrella dont regnoize

    So a couple of weeks ago i put my Iphone 4s Into Dfu Mode. It was not plugged into the computer when I put it into Dfu Mode. The apple logo appeared and then the screen turned black. I Reinstalled itunes updateded it and tried it on 2 diffrent computers. Nothing is wrong with the sync cable nor the iphone's hardware. For some reason itunes does not regnoize the Iphone. I tried to get it out of Dfu Mode but it didnt work. I can press a combo of buttons but nothing happens. It stays black. Iphone does not have any hardware problems because it was working perfectly fine before i put it in Dfu Mode and the syncing cables work 100% because i can connect my ipod to itunes and itunes rengoizes my ipod. Is there any solutions? +Tiny Umbrella and RedSn0w Does not regnoize it either.

    Use TinyUmbtrella or Redsn0w to kick it out of DFU Mode. Then just restore it through iTunes if you want.

    Hello Nigel38,

    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • My iphone 4s is stuck on recovery mode and itunes does not recognize it at all.

    Hi. Last night I left it updating 5.1.1 from 5.1 when I was going to bed. And at night I heard usb noise and woke up. iTunes had an error, I did not remember what is written there because I was sleepy. I think it was like 1612 error but I'm not sure.  There were an itunes logo and an usb wire on the phones screen. And I cant get rid of it. iTunes does not recognize the phone in "DFU mode" too. I need the phone today and I dont know what to do. Please help me. Sorry if my english is bad.

    If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

  • HT201210 my new iphone 4 is stuck with "USB connect to itunes".  I put it in recovery mode last night, but it doesn't change.  Itunes recognizes the phone and says it's in recovery mode, but when I do a restore, nothing changes.

    my new iphone 4 is stuck with "USB connect to itunes".  I put it in recovery mode last night.  Itunes recognizes the phone and says it's in recovery mode, but when I do a restore, nothing changes.

    it says "itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode.  you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes."  I click OK
    then I click the restore button
    Then the box says "Are you sure you want to restore the iphone to it's factory settings?  all of your.....etc."  I click Restore and Update
    then it goes into software update
    at the end of the software update it says "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode...."
    All this time, the screen of the iphone stays on with USB to Itunes
    I might add that while the phone was in it's first attempt at recovery mode, it was accidentally unplugged.
    any suggestions?
