Error 1015 help

I bought a used iPhone on ebay and it was jailbroken. I DID NOT want it jailbroken so I tried to restore it. It will not restore and itunes says its error 1015. Its stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. I need help please

This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

  • Not a jail brake error 1015 - Help!

    Today I tried to restore my old iPhone 3G. There was a problem with receiving signal from the 3G network, it seemed the antenna might have been broken. Before taking it to repair, I did a backup and decided to do a full restore first to see if the problem was software related.
    During the prosess I got the error message 1015, something got stuck in the update. So I searched the forum, but most forums talk about downgrading or jailbraking etc... I have not jailbraked my iPhone, nor have I tried to downgrade. I just tried to restore.
    So, what can I do to fix this? I seems I am lost in limbo here, nothing helps. I have seen some videos om youtude with solutions, but noen of thrm work the way they tell. And I am not that skilled in technical issues. But I can follow instructions, only not solve it when it goes all wrong.
    Please help!

    Thanks!
    I have been messign around the whole day, trying to apply the methods given for the jailbroken phones, but they just dont work, any of them.
    So I think I will go for the "repair device advise".
    I do allow iTunes to download the version it needs, it finishes the installation, restoring firmware etc and does almost complete the verification prosess. Then, at the very end, it fails.
    I will try on a different computer, but actualle the Mac I am restoring on now, has never been used for this iphone before, so I doubt it will change anything. If it does, I will let you know.

    Maybe you are trying to restore at an old version of iOS...
    Try to re-install iTunes on your PC.
    If it still doesn't work check some solution on the "support" section of the Apple web site, and then (if you didn't find anything) you can try to go to an Apple Store

    You can't.  Error 1015 occurs when trying to restore a jailbroken phone.
    Jailbreaking your phone voids any warranty remaining with Apple and forfeits your right to any assistance from Apple including from this forum.
    You're on your own.  From what other people have posted, it's extremely unlikely you'll ever get your phone working again.

    eror 1015 apears on my iphone when i try to restore it can someone help please
    Thank you

    There are 4 possible causes of error 1015:
    The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
    gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
    Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
    The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
    used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
    network database was corrupted during the process.
