I can't restore my iphone 3G

i can't restore my iphone 3G

I have gotten the same error message when i try to restore my iphone 3g.
The reason I got it however was because I DOWNGRADED it from 4.0 to 3.1.2 (which works perfectly with none of the 4.0 lag) and am trying to UPGRADE back up to 4.0 to regain some lost functionality of games and apps.
I'm guessing you are in a similar position, I have yet to find a correct fix for my situation.
If anyone can help, that would be great

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • Can you restore an iPhone from a backup that was done from a different iPhone?

    Here's the scenario.  I've been backing up my iPhone 5 on iTunes so there's a backup file there but that iPhone is damaged and might not be recoverable.  If I get a replacement phone, can I still use that backup file to restore the new phone despite the fact that it'll be a different serial number etc. than the phone the backup is based on?  Can I restore an iPhone 4 as well as an iPhone 5 from that same backup file?

    Hi Guchman,
    Yes you can set up a new phone from a backup from another phone as long as the iOS is the same. Here is a support article that should help:

  • How can I restore my iphone 4s to a previous backup I can see in the backup folder?

    Ok, here's a question for the restore/ backup pros. 
    On 1/4/14 I thought I would back up my iPhone 4s because it had been over a year (yeah, I know not a good idea to wait so long) since I had last backed it up (8/13/12, to be exact).  So, when I connected it to my computer, iTunes recommended I update the iTunes software.  So, I did.  Somewhere in the middle of the update I noticed that my iPhone kinda "rebooted" and I saw what a friend of mine referred to as the "restore iPhone" image on it.
    Then, I received an error message from iTunes saying that there was a problem with my iPhone & that I would have to restore it to factory settings.  WTH!!!!
    I went ahead and befored the restore.  Oddly enough, I seemed to get all my data back.  Heck, I even got emails & contacts that I added minutes before I tried to back it up.  I thought I had dodged a bullet & then I started to notice Apps that were missing & other Apps that I had deleted long ago back on the iPhone.
    Then, other anomolies surfaced, like photos missing, contacts missing, & worst of all the App that I used to store some really preceious pictures, photo vault, was also gone (and all my most precious pictures).  Those pics were not in my camera roll any longer as I had moved them to this App.
    Okay, I studied all I could on the net & learned where the backup files are stored on my computer and huh, it looks likes it took a back up right before (during?) the iTunes update that caused all this mess.  The problem is, iTunes doesn't show this backup as one I can select when trying to restore it.
    My Question is, "How can I restore my iPhone to the backup dated 1/4/14 that I can clearly see in the backup folder?"
    Many thanks,  psmcpher

    oops.  typo:  "I went ahead and befored the restore."  should be... I went ahead and performed the restore.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • My partner was trying to sync my phone to iTunes on our mac but instead restored all his phone details to my phone. It appears that I have lost everythin. I have no backup. How can I restore my iPhone.

    hmm thats kinda odd! how he managed to do that i dont know I thought the backups were locked per phone or phonenubmers serial.  Anyhow IF you have no backup at all then you have lost everything.  There is software out there that can recover data on the phone that was deleted..  I would personally click restore on Itunes and restart over.  You cant get back what you lost that easy and software that does recover deleted data may not allways work 100% and costs money for the software..
    Lesson learned huh..

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.
