Error 6 when trying to restore.  Phone is stuck in restore mode

I have an iphone in front of me which is stuck in restore mode. I plug it into iTunes, choose restore, choose a firmware (3.1.2) and begin the restore process. I get the following message:
The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).
If I press more info, the console appears, and the last 2 lines show the following:
Restore failed (result = 6)
iTunes[24792:207]: iTunes: Restore error 6
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I've tried using a different user account - no luck. I also tried pointing gs.apple.com to 74.208.10.249 in /etc/hosts thinking maybe it was an activation problem - no luck.
Hoping someone can help - otherwise I've got a very expensive paperweight!

First delete all .ipsw files on your computer. In OSX they are located here:
~/Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod/iphone Firmware
If you have your firewall turned on, disable it. Then see if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Also, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? You might try updating to 10.6.2 FIRST & also make sure itunes is up to date, version 9.0.3.

  • Getting wierd error when trying to getting phone IP address using AXL

    I am current trying to use the AXL serviceability API to get phone IP
    address information. I looked the developers guide and used the Java example to create a
    SSL Socket connection to send the SOAP message to. The message I send is as follows:

    The response I get back after about 30 seconds is as follows:

    well, getting closer. Of course you were correct. After changing it, I now get an http 500 error after a lenghty timeout.

  • FRM-92050 error when trying to open form after switching to HTTP mode

    Hi all,
    Yesterday, I installed Oracle Applications 11i on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 and forms were working correctly in the default mode, which is native (socket). Following steps 4 and 5 in [Doc 201340.1|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:6398415066875997204::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,201340.1,1,1,1,helvetica], I enabled HTTP mode, and now my forms are not working. When I open a form now, I get this error:
    FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the Server: /forms/formservlet:-1
    Details...
    Java Exception:
    java.io.IOException: Negative content-length from http://...
    I've searched MetaLink and the forums for this error and all the results I found deal with HTTP headers or cookies being corrupted, usually by an intermediate networking device (web proxy, web cache, SSL accelerator, etc.). I am not using anything of the sort - the client is connecting directly to the Oracle server.
    I checked the Apache error log and this is what I see:
    [Thu May 14 09:10:28 2009] [error] [client 10.11.1.114] client denied by server configuration: /work/oracle/viscomn/java/java

    I don't like the look of those "client denied by server configuration" messages. What's also odd is that the two files referenced by those messages do not exist on the file system:
    [oracle@gen1-cs49 logs]$ cat /work/oracle/viscomn/java/java
    cat: /work/oracle/viscomn/java/java: No such file or directory
    [oracle@gen1-cs49 logs]$ cat /work/oracle/viscomn/java/oracle/ewt
    cat: /work/oracle/viscomn/java/oracle/ewt: No such file or directory
    Any ideas? Are there any other logfiles I should be checking?

    First, login to System Administrator responsibility, then navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Administer > Processes > Internal Manager LogAh, OK - I was able to open the form and I see a table of managers and services and whatnot, and I see an entry for "Internal Manager", but I don't see any way to view the log. I even tried opening the details of the "Internal Manager" entry and the only button there is "Diagnostics".

    Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
    If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

  • HT201401 My phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes wants me to do a restore, but I don't have my information backed, so I will lose a bunch of my information/photos if I restore it.

    Can anyone help me with my phone being stuck in recovery mode?  I have looked all over the internet and have had no success.  I have not tried to restore it with Itunes, because my data is not backed up and I don't want to lose it.  Tinyumbrella would not work and the apple support website is completely useless!

    Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work!  It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

  • Rundll32 error when trying to print in colour, or trying to change/configure print settings.

    Hey there,
    I just got a new Windows 8.1 computer.  I could print fine for a few days with my HP CP1215 in color.  Then I changed it default to grayscale, and when I went to change it back, it told me the driver is not installed.  I reinstalled the driver, and went to Properties, and it says RUNDLL32 ERROR.
    Then it says the driver isn't installed.
    And then I start all over again.
    Please help.

    Hi Divechickie,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are getting a error when trying to open the printer properties on Win 8.1 after reinstalling the printer driver. I will be happy to help you.
    If you are using the Windows built in driver then I would download and run the HP Color Laserjet Plug and Play Package. HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer Drivers.
    If that doesn't work you could do a system restore back to when everything was working properly.
