Cannot restore original iPhone to original firmware, can someone help?

Alright, I have tried literally everything virtually possible to fix my iPhone.  Currently it is in this state:
And I want to fix it up and make it back to the original iPhone firmware.  It currently has no firmware installed.  It cannot install any firmware and if I try it will just fail.  Please help.

**SOLVED***
After wasting 6hrs and trying everything under the sun, Redsnow, TinyUmbrella, Snowblizzard, Ziphone, ect, ect..
I was able to resolve this by simply switching usb ports..  I was dong this on an Acer netbook and just went from the 2 usb portside to the main one near the power source..  RESTORED via Itunes and I am back to a working phone...
Not sure what caused the issue tho, as I was on a (presumebly) bone stock Iphone and simply tried to update the software from the phone...

    going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process.  Have you ever seen this?
    After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music.  The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad.  so strange.  I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
    I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
    Thanks for your time and help!

  • I am receiving an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes store in the app store on my new Verizon iPhone 4...can someone help please?

    Receiving the above error in the title...please help

    Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this:  go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
    Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.

  • Updating firmware - can someone help

    I recently bought a Zen Touch 20gb machine. I originally used Windows Media Player to sync music, but thought I'd try Creative MediaSource.
    I turned on MediaSource, but my machine didn't show up there. Following the instructions in the knowledge base, I reset my machine.
    I've been trying to download the firmware for a couple of hours, but it just keeps failing.
    Does anyone have any bright ideas? You would be helping one frustrated user here.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    Tim.

    Oh yeah..forgot about the virus protection thing....Yes you should disable it before upgrade your firmware. For some reason some AV blocks the firmware from finished.
    But don't turn the detector off. If all else fails, uninstall Mediasource...reboot..reinstall and go from there.
    Good luck,
    K
    by the way, which AV are you using?...

  • After restoring original settings can phone numbers be retrieved

    after restoring original settings, can phone numbers be retrieved?

    You can sync them from the computer to the iPhone using iTunes.
    You could also restore the iPhone from backup.

  • HT1267 my iphone restored automatically, and now i have lost everything, including apps, contacts, texts etc...i cannot retrieve apps from my itunes as my new itunes did not have all the apps, due to rebooting my comp..can someone help on how i can retrei

    My  phone  automatically restored, and now i have lost everythig apps,contacts,texts..i mean everything.... and my itunes does not have anything as my computer had to be reboot,due to a new hard disk...
    Can someone help,i really need my contacts  back asap....

    well i put my phone on charge, when the connect to itunes icon appeared.therefore, resulting in restorage of the phone.
    The prompt to connect to iTunes is automatic, but not the restore process. You must manually select restore. There is no automatic restore.
    in order to re-download apps, i will need to re-purchase...and i cannot afford the amount,
    Read the link I provided. Had you done so, you would know you do not have to re-purchase apps when re-downloaded.
    but to be honest, i am concerned about my contacts. which have completely disapeared and i just want them back.
    Unless your contacts were synced with a supported address book app on your computer as designed and intended and your contacts were included with your computer's backup, or unless your contacts are available online with a free Apple iCloud account, with a free Yahoo account, or with a free Gmail account with all providing the ability to sync contacts over the air, your contacts are gone.

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

  • My hard drive crashed and I want to reinstall my personal itunes on another computer but I need to deauthorize my the original computer and I don't know how to reinstall.  Can someone help me please?

    My hard drive crashed and I restored my computer with my daughter's hard drive (her battery was dead) and I want to install my personal itunes on the new hard drive.  I was unable to deauthorize the original computer and I do not know how to reinstall my personal itunes.  Can someone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Without a backup of your "crashed" HD you will have to download your iTunes purchases again. Make sure your restored computer is running the latest version of iTunes.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On your restored computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    When you want to play your newly downloaded music, you will have to "authorize" it. Don't worry about the lost HD until enough of your computers crash that you reach the limit of 5. Then you can "deauthorize all" and re-authorize as necessary.

  • HT204204 i cannot restore my iphone 6 it start downloading half way stop and give me the code 53

    i cannot restore my iphone 6 it download half way and give me code 53

    It sounds like your phone needs to be restored to complete the unlocking process. The device is unlocked, so restoring it in iTunes on a computer will be your best option.  To avoid the error occurred message you will need to do a factory restore.
    You can restore the iPhone by completing a DFU restore.
    DFU Restore:
    1. Connect your iPhone to a computer with internet connection
    2. Open iTunes
    3. Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home buttons simultaneously for approximately 9-10 seconds
    4. When the screen goes blank, release the Sleep/Wake button and continue holding the Home button
    5. the screen MUST remain black.  If the Apple logo appears while still holding the Home button you did not time it properly (either you released Sleep/Wake too soon or too late)
    6. iTunes will pop up with a small window indicating you have connected an iphone in recovery mode and can Restore it to recover it.
    7. If the apple logo appears due to incorrect timing the Recovery mode message may still appear in iTunes, but you should simply dismiss it and try again from step 3.

I tried to restore the Ipod but when the passcode came up again I came back to the same thing. Disabled! Can someone help me pleeeease!!!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
