Can't restore my IPhone 3GS, AT&T, Locked
Can't restore my IPhone 3GS, AT&T, Locked. I have already downloaded iOS 6.1.6, but when doing the software update before the restore, the following error message pops up.
Please advise. Thank you. Already talked to Apple Customer Service and they were stumped.
*update* GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! Turns out that I was able to restore my phone from a back up, after two days at it!
Unfortunately, the back up was from a year ago! At this point in time, I'm just glad to have my contacts back, though I feel that now would be be best to make sure I keep backing up my phone to make sure this doesn't happen again o.O

can't restore my iPhone 3gs. Tried 4 different Macs and 1 PC, all issue error response, mostly errror 2001 snd the PC cited error #21. Even tried different USB cable.
It started by not turning on and it still does not unless plugged in. Then once it displayed a colorless grey screen that said "no service" and the battery symbol said 100 %. After resetting the iPhone it now is recognized as an iPhone in recovery mode.sounds like it's time to bring your phone in for evaluation

Your phone was jailbroken. You can not get help here.

I cant' restore my iPhone 3GS. Error 37. Anyone has any suggestions?
I had a similar issue with my Daughter's 3GS - I tried restoring it with "Restore Mode" and it would not do it. A quick search led me to MacRumors.com where I found an article on restoring your device via DFU Mode. It takes awhile to do it, but it definitely fixed my issue.
Good luck! -
Can't restore my iPhone 3GS (w/iOS5); backup session failed.
I'm practically at wits end, here.
For two days I've been trying to restore my iPhone 3GS and so far, nothing.
The problem happened after I downloaded and updated my iPhone with iOS5. When I tried to restore it from one of three back-ups that I had, I ran into
that error (-50). Managed to get passed that and tried again. When I did, I get the message saying "iTunes could not restore the iPhone ****** because the backup session failed."
It doesn't just do this for my most recent back up; it does this for ALL of my back-ups. Is there any kind of fix out sure-fix for this (barring getting a new phone)?! I think I've tried several strats that I've seen in other threads and nothing has worked.

Help, Can't restore my iPhone 3GS
I was downloading a new software (vs. 4.3.5 I think) for my iPhone 3GS and a "1015 problem" occured. I have restored it more than 5 times but nothing happens, im scared of doing "jailbreaks" 'cause im not using the original SIM nor company because Im in Chile and needed to change USA's "AT&T" for a latin company called "Claro". Please Any Help???
You cannot get help on this forum. Error 1015 occurs when trying to restore a jailbroken phone. If your phone was originally locked to AT&T and now you're using it in Latin America, your phone was definitely jailbroken.
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones. You cannot get help here. You must search elsewhere on the internet for help. Just be aware, however, you may NEVER get your phone working again. -
I can't restore my iphone 3gs. receiving error code 23
Hi,
I'm having a problem in restoring my iphone.
How do I got this issue?
I got it when I failed to create an Email exchange account then my phone hangs and after i restarted it. it went to restore mode the one with itunes and an USB picture.
The 1st error that I was encountering says: i need to put in the SIM or pin code.
Then I update my itunes and try the restore again and after that I got the error code 23.
I already tried to restore it in other computer.
Hope someone can help me with my problem.
Thanks,Error 23 is a hardware failure. The fact that you tried to restore on a different computer confirms this. If under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store or contact whoever handles warranty & support where you live. If out of warranty, google third party repair shops in your area. Apple also offers an out of warranty exchange program, the cost in the US is $199.

How can I restore my iPhone 3Gs after I tried to update to the new operating system.
I tried to upgrade my 3Gs to the new operating system(IOS5) and I got some kind of unknown error. I told iTunes to do the back up before doing the upgrade. The phone is stuck in restore mode with the "connect to iTunes" logo displayed.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer. I've restarted my computer. The iTunes doesnt seem to see the iPhone, but when I connect the phone to the computer I hear the recognition jingle by the comoputer, the one you hear when when a piece of equipment is connected to the computer. In addition, when i look at "my computer" I dont see the iPhone in the selections of items connected to the computer.
I have tried all the reset proceducures with turning the phone off and using the home key.
Does anybody have any suggestions?Hi,

since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help
That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it. If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier. -

Somebody help!What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support -
