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

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

Your phone was jailbroken. You can not get help here.
Jailbreaking voids the warranty and forfeits all rights to support here or from Apple.

HT1414 restoring my iphone 3gs is not completeing and the phone is not working

restoring my iphone 3gs is not completing and my phone is not working i took it to my local phone shop they told me that the new itunes will not fit onto the iphone 3gs, how can i get my phone to work.

If your restore is failing, there could be MANY issues... You may need to restore the phone back to "new phone" during the restore... PAY ATTENTION HERE... You will lose ALL contacts, photos, videos, voice memos, etc... But you will be able to re-add your apps< and music through itunes. that is very last resort though. if that doesnt work, I would look into updateing your phone. Personally I wouldn't get the 5, just because I dont need the additonal size screen... I have the 4S and LOVE it!! but, do some research, and see what you can find on the matter. But it sounds like your headed down hill fast with that phone... May be best just to upgrade and save yourself the frustration...

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.
(btw, the comp that I'm using primarily is Windows Vista)

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 from a different backup?

Okay I don't know if this is possible, but it would really make my life easier if someone knew how to do this.
My old iPhone was named Joe's iPhone. It had all my contacts, pics, apps, everything. That phone broke and my Mom gave me her old iPhone, both are 3g. So on my computer I obviously had sync'd my old phone (Joe's iPhone) and backed it up. Can I restore my Moms phone and boot it up with my old backup so I'll have all my contacts? I've tried restoring it, but I also backed up my Mom's phone on my computer so whenever I restore it, it just comes back with all her contacts. I want to chose to restore from my old phone backup.
Is this possible? Can anyone walk me through doing that?

Hi Joe,
Just right-click on the iPhone(on the left side of iTunes, under Devices) and then choose Restore from Backup. Then choose the backup that has the date and name of your previous phone.

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.

Can I restore an iPhone backup from a Mac in a Windows PC?

I have copied the files from Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup from my Mac to a USB stick and I have to use these backup files on a Windows PC.
Will these files from an iTunes for Mac work on an iTunes for Windows?
Thanks,
Rafael

You can restore the backups to a device running the same or a newer iOS version, but not an older one. For example, if a backup was made from iOS 8.2, it can be restored to a device running 8.2 or 8.3, but not 8.1.3 or earlier.
