Frozen 3GS/Unable to Restore..

I have uploaded my 3GS to ios 5 and it has now frozen - iTunes/USB displayed. Have tried to restore, but fails each time with error: 1656. Any ideas please??

Maybe it has something to do with the French Orange baseband on your iPhone that this isn`t suitable for iOS 4.3.3 (I would call your carrier for more information). Have you tried to restore your iPhone from the settings on the smartphone? Or you can download and try an older iOS build.

  • HT1414 iPhone 3GS unable to restore or update

    I have updated my iPhone 3GS with 4.2 version but its not responding. When i switch on my iphone,it shows to connect to itunes. I have tried connecting to itunes nd clicking Restore and update but it shows the message stating iPhone cannot be restored. Please suggest me what to do. The phone is not even getting turned on.

    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Unable to restore Iphone 3GS 1604 Error

    Hello,
    I have been trying for hours to restore Iphone 3GS in XP. All i did was click "yes" to update iphone and now I am in a mess. Tried reinstalling, different ports, different cables, still unable to restore.

    I'm not sure, or else more people would be posting about it. Best way to tell is try at a different time.
    Also, you could try putting the phone in Forced Recovery mode as outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    Also, are you using iPhone cables or iPod cables? If you're using the appropriate cable and the same thing happens, then hopefully your phone is still within warranty and you can go to an Apple Store for the Genius Bar.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode unable to restore

    Hello,
    My iPhone 3GS was running low in battery and then it went off on its own. Plugged into car charger, usually I would see the charging sign but curiously not this time. Unable to turn on the phone, it's all black. Got home and plug into the computer and it said that it's in recovery mode and it needed to be restored. Attempted to restore but kept on getting unable to restore due to error (21). Did a quick search and have done the followings; (updated all softwares, turned off computer, check USB wire, turned off firewall, created new user, used a different computer....) still unable to restore. screen would turn to white blank screen. Called Apple Support and they had me tried everything again and still nothing. Please help...

    took it to Apple Store and they gave me a new one..

  • TS3694 Unable to Restore iPhone 3GS

    My iPhone 3GS won't restore even though I have downloaded the latest iOS software but it won't install on my phone. My Error Message isn't shown in the list of examples given on the blog, it reads 'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found.'  Can anyone help me ?

    There are several options you can do.
    I talked with Apple Support learned a few tricks of trade.
    1. You must stop Internet connection. Hit the top button and hold for three seconds till you get a slide "To turn off". Slide the Red button to turn off iPhone completely. Wait for 10 seconds and then turn it back on with the same top button till you get an Apple logo on the Startup Screen. This will help and try again.
    2. Alternate option go to Synchronized your iPhone with your computer it will detect in iTunes the latest software for iTunes on your computer and the latest iOS on your iPhone which is 4.1.1. This will help updating your iPhone software, in the process it will backup your iPhone on to your computer. Next, is setup an iCloud account, use your original email address without the @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com. This will complete your iCloud account. And backups your purchases to an online server of up to 5GBs.
    3. To restore all of your apps using iTunes instead of Synchronizing you want to transfer some of the data onto your iPhone device, by clicking "Unknown" that's your iPhone device, this area is tricky. Or you can use iCloud to restore everything on your iPhone. Everything will be restored except apps you downloaded that are optional music, movies, tv shows, will have to be reinstalled through iCloud.
    4. Updating your device to iPhone iOS 5.1 is not possible.

  • Unable to restore from backup

    Hello everyone,
    I have a small problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. I have 3gs that I sync with my Dell laptop running Win7 and I'm using ITunes 9. When I go to sync, everything syncs fine, backups are creating and it seems that there are no problems. No errors are given once the sync/backup are complete. The other day, I needed to restore from backup. Here's where the problem comes in. After a minute or so of ITunes telling me it's restoring, I get a window that pops up saying something along the lines of "unable to complete restore because the backup session failed." I had about 6 backups available and they all came back with the same error trying to restore. After reading about this problem here in the forums, some have suggested turning off anti-virus software, making sure certain programs have been given access in a firewall. I've tried to sync with AV turned off, Firewall correctly set and even turned off and then continue with restoring, but i continue to receive the same error trying to restore. Any ideas on what might be happening?? I've saved my directories with backups and reisntalled ITunes, still no progress.. Thanks in advance for any ideas..

  • Unable to restore iPhone - Error 1603

    Hi,
    Used iTunes to update my iPhone 3Gs to the latest version and am currently stuck.
    iPhone is in "ready to restore mode" (showing the connect to iTunes picture)
    Am unable to restore the iPhone, when I press restore in iTunes, it prepares the device for restore, then after a while displays Error 1603.
    I have tried restarting the computer, "hard restore" of my iPhone, reinstalling iTunes and also turning off my antivirus.
    I have the latest version of iTunes installed and my operating system is up to date.
    Appreciate any help as I am unable to receive any calls at the moment.
    Cheers,

  • HT4972 What is "Unable to restore unknown error Restore error code 11?

    Trying to update an iphone 3gs from ios 4.1 to 5.1.  Received the above error cdoe 11 to an unknown error, unable to restore.  How can we fix that?

    I think I actually got it restored now... and now, each time I am able to sync about 3-5 songs before I get the beachball and the whole thing 'times out'.
    You are VERY correct about my desire for a new iMac. Too bad I just bought my first house, or I might be able to actually afford one! I have enough excuses... now I need cash.
    Firewire to USB. I will see what I can find... it doesn't seem very likely, but you never know! Thanks for the help. I will report back if I find anything. I know there are a lot of people affected by this issue.
    What is kind of ironic is that if I would have bought a PC in this time frame, it would have definitely had USB 2.0. You know? Dang.
