Finally Restored after 1.1.3 Lockup (1604 error)

Finally got my iPhone back... here's what I did, hope it helps someone out there. I did many things, so I'll tell you all, obviously something worked!
Disconnected all other USB items (ext. hard drives)
Disabled Symantec Anti Virus
-(tried creating new profile on PC, no difference)
-(tried deleting the downloaded update in case corrupt, no different)
I reset the iPhone to get the screen with the lead pointing to iTunes (Hold down lock button on top)
Plugged iPhone in when this image of Lead/iTunes showing
Started iTunes
iTunes recognised iPhone in Recovery mode, offered to restore
Clicked Restore, it unpacked then tried to run
iPhone flashed then went to black screen, eventually iTunes gave the dreaded 1604 error.
I then unplugged iPhone, but instead of resetting it again (which I've tried about 20 times already), I left it with black screen (although black, screen is definately on as not totally pitch black).
Shut down iTunes
Plugged phone back in (Still with black screen)
Started iTunes, again noticed recovery mode, pressed Recover
The black screen then popped in to life and had a small recovery icon at the bottom in the middle and the restore worked perfectly!!!
Yee-haaaaaaa

Same issues for me, I tried to updated iPhone to 1.1.3 without updating iTunes first (possibly the problem) and got error 1602. Uninstalled iTunes and related software and tried again and got error 1604. Then read through posts and this seemed to be the final fix as Steve suggested:

Key was to leave iPhone on, unplug, close iTunes, plug in iPhone then start iTunes again.

  • TS3694 Tried to restore my IPOD and keep getting 1604 errors. Any help?

    I haven't updated my ipod in 3 years because it was such a pain last time I did it and thankfully it came back. But I foolishly attempted it again and now after it was put in the restore mode and Itunes attemps to restore the device I get an error message with 1604. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps, tried different USB ports and get the same result. Any help?

    If as the artical says, uyou tried another computer and another network then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 1602 and 1604 Errors When Attempting to Restore/Update iPhone - Please Help

    Hi, I've been having trouble with my iPhone 3GS and after wasting many days on trying to solve the problem, I am reaching out for help from those more knowledgeable than me. I have been having this problem for as long as I can remember (I've owned my iPhone for just under a year): whenever I attempt to Restore my iPhone or update its OS, I receive a 1602 or 1604 error on iTunes and the process stops with the iPhone wiped. iTunes refuses to continue the Restore and any further attempts result in the same error. I originally found this work around for the problem after an exhaustive search (4th post down):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1363589
    However, every time I wish to Restore or update, I have to follow these long, annoying, unusual steps, and, now that I am coming to the end of my year's warranty, I really want to fix this problem, or get it fixed by Apple if this is not possible.
    The iPhone restores with no problem on another computer in my house, so I guess the problem is with my computer. I have taken the following steps (often many times over and in combination with each other) in my attempts to fix the problem, but with no success:
    1. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    2. Uninstalled and reinstalled iPhone drivers
    3. Uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple software and drivers
    4. Removed iTunes library, all music and any other iTunes files in music folder
    5. Created a new user account, which is free from any old iTunes settings, opened iTunes and plugged in iPhone
    6. Used different USB ports
    7. Plugged in iPhone after being restored on other computer
    I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone please help?
    Thanks,
    James

    I had all of these problems, and I was able to fix them with the following process. Here is what I did:
    My setup:
    Apple Max OS 10.4.10, Mac G4, with 3rd party USB 2.0 card.
    1. Upgrade to iTunes 7.6 and Quicktime 7.4, Restart and repair permissions
    2. Purchase the iPod Touch Upgrade - It took two tries to purchase. I had to accept to two agreements, and then got an error. I purchased the upgrade again and got an instruction screen. iTunes appeared to download a very small file.
    3. Sync my touch (I still had not upgraded to firmware 1.1.3)
    4. The touch synced, but I had no new functions.
    5. I clicked upgrade, and downloaded the 165GB file.
    6. While the file was downloading I undocked my iPod touch and restarted it.
    7. When the download was complete, it gave me an unknown error because my iPod was not connected.
    8. I connected My iPod and tried to install the update. After several tries, I always got a 1602 error.
    9. I restarted my computer and did a hard restart of my ipod touch. This did not work, I still had 1602 errors.
    10. At this point, I chose to RESTORE my iPod Touch.
    11. After the restore, I chose not to restore any content, and just tested the firmware update. EVERYTHING worked great!
    12. I synced my iPod touch while I watched the keynote. 45 minutes later my sync was complete and 14 Gig of content was restored. The new functions are great. I have already read my .Mac email.

  • Won't restore after update - firmware disk write error

    I know there's been discussion about this one but I haven't seen an answer that works, and sending my out of warranty mini back for a $300 replacement doesn't appeal.
    - Agreed to update iTunes.
    - iPod hasn't worked since (exclamation point only)
    - Can't restore because I just get a firmware error.
    (have uninstalled, reinstalled etc etc)
    HELP!!!

    This
    i may
    help:
    “Firmware Update Failure” Possible Solution
    -- Disconnect the iPod
    -- Right click on "My Computer"
    -- Select "Manage"
    -- Select "Device Manager"
    -- Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
    -- Right click on "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller"
    -- Click on "Disable"
    -- Click "OK" to accept changes
    Run the Updater software (Start==>Run==>iPod) and wait till it says to "Plug in an iPod to update it"
    Plug in the iPod and wait (for a long while). It takes awhile because you are now running at USB 1.1 speeds. When it finally shows up, do the "update" or "restore", which ever you were trying to do.
    You can try to re-enable the "Enhanced PCI TO USB Host controller" after you are done running the Updater software and try to copy your songs and pictures to the iPod. This may or may not work. If not, revert back to USB1.1.

    At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a globe on the screen. Then use disk utility to partition and format the drive HSF+ and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. whatever version of OS X that originally came on your system will be installed and then you can upgrade back to Mavericks.

    my iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it and tells me that the phone is in recovery mode, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

    Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

  • I am having trouble with my iphone5. I finally had SFR after 2 hours or more waiting to switch the service of the sim card. The phone worked finally but after upgrading my itunes, the iphone 5 will not even let me sign in nor give password.

    I was so happy to receive my iphone5 today but, happiness turned into frustration. The new sim card was unlocked etc... The phone finally worked after 2 hrs or more and since I upgraded my itunes, the phone is blocked. It will only let me after being turned on unlock the phone. Once I get to ID apple and password, I can put it in but, then it says it has timed out. It also says I cannot connect to the server. What is going on???
    I am in France and there is no Apple Store open on Sunday, my phone service is closed as well.
    I hope somone can help me asap.
    Thanks

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • Configuring Time machine to Restore after a failer

    Hi
    how to Configurr Time machine to Restore after a failer ? should i just set the time machine to backup to the external hard disk that have the backup and it will automatically detect it and can use it ? what if there is another backups for another Mac's ?

    PureHeartKnight wrote:
    Hi
    how to Configurr Time machine to Restore after a failer ?
    Do you mean you want to recover your entire system from your TM backups? If so, see item 14 in +Frequently Asked Questions+ at the top of this forum for details.
    Or do you mean, once your Mac is recovered, how to start new TM backups?
    When you first boot after restoring, you may want to immediately turn Time Machine off, as it's next backup will probably be a full one -- everything it just restored will be backed-up again. You cannot prevent this, only delay it. It will of course take quite a while, and a lot of space on your TM disk, so you may wish to wait until you're sure your system is the way you want it, or even erase your TM disk with Disk Utility and let your backups start anew.
    what if there is another backups for another Mac's ?
    That may become a problem. TM knows which backups are for which Mac, and will not mix them. But if there's not room for the first backup of the restored Mac (see above), you have two bad choices: erase the disk, and start both Macs over again with TM; or delete all the backups for the failed Mac via the TM interface (see item 12 of the same article).
    If you decide to erase the disk completely, you may want to partition it before beginning backups, so each Mac's backups have their own, exclusive partition, to prevent this hassle in the future. See item 5 for instructions if you want to do this.

  • I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

    I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".
