  • Can't restore iPhone 4 from IOS7.02 error 3014

    Hello all,
    Familiar topic for many.... Can't restore iPhone 4 after trying to update to IOS7.02 and keep getting error 3014 whenever it tries to restore firmware halfway through update process.
    Have read all of the discussions and done the following:-
    - tried it on another (proven) network
    - Tried it on another identity on my machine
    - deleted and reinstalled software update file several times over
    - tried different USB cables
    - checked that there are no ports blocked.
    - looked at the host file and there is no reference to gs.apple.com on there
    - Phone is not jailbroken
    - turned off security software.
    Any more suggestions?
    Grateful and expectant,
    ZNZB*
    P.S. Nearest Apple Store is about 3000 miles away, before anyone asks.

    Itunes is updating ALSO today
    Endless countless millions of people are trying to authenticate AFTER downloading the new IOS.
    Download servers and Authentication / Activation servers are slammed right now.
    Give it some time.   
    download servers VS. authentication servers
    If you've downloaded but can yet activate, you can wait till later and Activate your Iphone (or Ipad also) without any worries
    Iphones , Ipads, and Itunes are ALL being updated today, so server traffic is enormous.

  • Cannot restore iPhone 3GS unknown error occurred (40)

    I was using my iPhone yesterday and the battery went dead. When I charged it, the iTunes logo with the cable appeared on the screen. I tried connecting my iPhone to my computer via iTunes, then it said that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode saying that I have to restore it. After clicking OK and restore on itunes, I received an error (40). I've attached a screenshot from it.
    My friend gave me this iPhone. I honestly cannot afford your product but I can say that it is the best phone that I had so far. Please help me.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I'm interested in your topic, because I have the same problem.
    So, I'm wondering if do you solve this ?
    Cheers,

  • Unable to restore iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (error 1013)

    I recently updated my 16GB iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (iPhone2,14.0_8A293Restore.ipsw) using iTunes 9.2 - it worked fine for a few days then all of a sudden I got a pop up message saying "you are unable to make or receive calls, please connect to iTunes". I did so and restored the firmware, it went through the whole cycle, unpacked, installed, verified and when it was about to be completed I got the following error from iTunes:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)"
    The phone remained in restore mode (iTunes icon and USB cable). I tried restoring again with the same result. I then deleted the firmware file, rebooted and reinstalled (same error). I then deleted a reinstalled iTunes (no dice). I tried alternative USB ports and cables and also tried on 2 other computers and tried all this in DFU mode too yet nothing has worked.
    I would also like to point out that it is an original O2 phone with O2 chi[p that has *never been jailbroken*. Any ideas as to whats wrong? Or what I can do? Thanks in advance for you help!

    OK, so nothing else was working so I took my phone into the Genius bar and explained what had happened. The Genius said He was unsure what error 1013 was so he looked it up and explained "It's an error related to the baseband and that more than likely the phone was unable to communicate with Apple servers as Apple had the phone marked as non existent"
    He continued to explain that there was a fix he could do but would be quicker and easier to replace my phone. He did so and I left happy.
    I recomend you just take your phones in if you are having this same issue!

  • Can't restore Iphone 3gs because can't charge

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I bought from ebay about a year ago and although it's worked fairly well so far, there have been the occasional glitch, which I've always been able to fix myself (needing to be restored, issues with software, etc).
    However, last night a new one cropped up and I'm somewhat stuck. The battery, for some reason, completely, which I can only assume is due to my having left something running by mistake. When I went to charge it, it repeatedly switched on and off. As it was the middle of the night, I unplugged it so I could sleep, and tried again this morning. Same thing. It switches on, gets as far as showing the lock screen (complete with 'No Service' at the top left), says it has 5% charge and then goes black and does the whole thing over again. It does this consistently, making it so that I can't get the phone to charge or anything. I attempted to put it into restore mode, but since the battery's dead, I can't start the process without the phone plugged in because I get told to charge it.
    Is there any way I can get it to not switch on when I plug it in, so that I can at least charge it so that I'm able to try to restore it? I do have insurance on it, but I'm a little wary of using it just yet, in case this is easily fixable, and as it's secondhand, it's well out of Apple warranty.

    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get to the genius bar, so I took it to a local repair shop that's always been good in the past. He replaced the battery and, for good measure, the charging port. So far, no change, it's still stuck in a boot loop. I can sometimes get it as far as selecting my country and connecting to iTunes, then the problem starts over again

  • Please help have error code 1013 and can not restore iphone 3gs

    i have tried every thing i can find to restore 3gs and no luck
    tried 4 different computers and 3 cables and all the usb ports on the computers
    i have even tried the gs.apple.com fix and no go.. am at a loss on what to do next any help
    would be great thank you all

    Every time I restore I get a different code last 2 times I have gotten code 1002
    And 1013 a few times.
    Error 1002 usually means a hardware problem. If you've tried several known working cables, the problem is likely in thte phone itself.
    +"Error 23, 28, 29, 40, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue."+

  • Can't restore iphone 3gs with IOS 4.3.5

    I have a 3gs and ever time i try resotre the iphone using the newest version of itunes with the newest version of ios firmware i get the 1013 error.  i have not edited the host file or anything.  The error always comes at the very end of the restore.  i need help!!!

    Are you upgrading the firmware from iTunes?  From Apple's web site:
    Error 9006: Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.

    The error that you are seeing has to do with your Internet connection. Try disabling your anti-virus software and connect the iPhone again and try to restore. See this support document for help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    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.
