Error(1) when restoring to ios 7.0.4 on iphone 5s

I have a brand new iphone 5s. I have been using it for less than a month now. Not even a single scratch exists on it and never have i dropped it. Today, the phone would not detect the signal and I was getting "searching" in the top left corner of my screen. So i figured this might be a software issue. I went back home and decided to restore it. I have the latest Ios ipsw file 7.0.4 as well as the latest itunes software. I tried to restore 10 times. I am getting error 1 at about 70% of the process. I tried on another computer. same problem. now i am stuck in a recovery loop. Any suggestions any1?

Hi LordZc,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can find more information about iTunes restore errors in this article:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This information relates to error 1:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
Since you have already tried to restore more than two times, I recommend checking for issues between iTunes and security software using the steps in the article below:
Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
After doing so, see this article for the steps to restore when your device is in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Best Regards,
Jeremy

    I can't update my Iphone 4S to IOS 7.  It starts to update but I eventually get an error message and it stops.

    That's unfortunate.

  • Error 9006/When restoring, fails processing file

    Hey, I aam trying all I can to restore my iPad mini with iTunes on windows. Half way through the process, SURPRISE! Error 9006 pops up and just says an unknown error has occurred. Please, anyone at all, help!

    Hello Jcastellano1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For error 9006 when restoring your iPad, it is likely some security software on your Windows PC that is preventing iTunes from connecting to Apple's servers.  Take a look at the link below for troubleshooting this issue.

  • I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my ipad or iphone to my iMac:  "The iPad (or iPhone) cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."  What is this about?  Thanks

    I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone to my iMac, as follows:  The iPad "_________" cannot be synced.  An unknonw error occurred (-50).  Does anyone know what this is about - thanks.

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

    When I click on "Restore,"  the restoring process will get to around "Preparing iPod for Restore," then it will say the iPod can't be restored - Error 1646.  Then my iPod boots up as normal and acts like nothing happened to it.  I'm using official Apple cables that came with my device.  Any suggestions?
