Has your phone been jailbroken before you tried to restore? If yes, this is the cause for this error number.

  • TS3694 I went to my phone network at the end of my contract to unlock my iphone 3G so it could take another network sim, they instead of unlocking it sent me to a third party who has unlocked it but also 'jail broken' it. Error code 1015 when trying to re

    Help with Error Code 1015 during restoring iphone 3G?

    Sorry, but we cannot help you with jailbroken iPhones in this forum. You will probably need to go back to this "third party" who jailbroke your iPhone and ask for assistance.
    Note that even if you can get the iPhone restored, that will almost certainly remove the unlock. Only if an iPhone is offically unlocked by the cell carrier can you restore or upgrade the operating system and have the iPhone remain unlocked.
    Regards.

    If not, try to move or delete the IPSW file and let iTunes download it again.
    Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
    iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your device. If those  files  are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file  to a different directory. This will cause  iTunes to  download a new copy of the IPSW.    When a restore issue is specific to a  user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user  will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new  user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
    Mac OS X
    iPhone
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    iPad
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
    iPod touch
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates

    I have an old i phone 3G and do not know the password for it. trying to restore it from itunes so my daughter can use it as an ipod but keep getting error code 1015, any help on how to get passed this please?

    Hi ratcat14!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    It sounds like that unit was/is jailbroken. We can't help you here with that because of Apple's TOS. I suggest using Google or YouTube for help.

    How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??

    The only advice we can give is to try and put it into DFU mode and restore. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new phone.
    There is a reason that Jailbreaking isn't supported. You have just been kicked in the donkey by it.
