FW update error 2006 on iPhone 3.0 GM

Hi everybody,
I've a serious problem with iPhone firmware update. I've a iPhone 3G with original developer OS 3.0 GM and it's never cracked.
When I've installed MacOs 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.3 last version I began to get the first problems with FW update, in fact the process is locked with error 2006 and I cannot update versions upper to my 3.0 GM.
I tried to change cable, computer (MacPro with MacBook Pro) but the problem is same. There are not other usb devices connect to Mac. I'd like update my mobile to 3.1.3 FW version, How I do?
Thank you in advance,
Antonio

  • Ios 8 download error 2006 on iPhone 5

    I am writing this 5 days after the release of ios 8. I have tried to download it about 30 times so far and I keep getting hit with the same errors.
    1. Software Requested
    You will be notified when it is ready to download.....
    2. Update Failed
    Your device failed to update
    3. Error 2006 (only when downloading from the computer)
    Update failed because of an unknown error (2006)
    I have restarted both my iphone 5 and my mac (27 inch imac) multiple times.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I think I found a solution. Try updating from your phone, then plug it into the computer while it is trying to update on your phone and update there too on itunes. That worked for me.

  • IOS 8 update via OTA bricked my iPhone 4s. Error 2006

    iOS 8 update via OTA bricked my iPhone 4s. Error 2006
    Done a update on my iPhone 4s 64GB phone. done it over the air then comes up in recovery mode.  so plugged in iTunes (most up today on a macbook pro) downloaded IOS8 again then when i do a restore it comes up with the error message "The iPhone "IPhone" could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (2006)
    Computer: macbook pro  15" mid 2012
    2nd computer: just been rebuild with windows 7 on it all up today and latest iTunes,
    Cable: 3nd Party
    Cable: Apples down brand only 2 days old as bought this one for in the office, (and seems to work with backing up my iPhone on to my macbook pro)
    also restarted the machines and checked again for any updates  nothing els plugged in to any of the laptops and it makes no change still get the same error message.
    anyone have any clue what is going on.
    also i have never called my iPhone "iPhone" (from the error message) must of been a bad install of ios8 (OTA) to bring that name up.

    My Iphone 5 got stuck right after I installed iOS8 also.  Mine would not let me past the Hello page.  I had an iCloud backup, so this is what I did.
    Downloaded iOS 7.1.2 to my computer. http://www.iclarified.com/750/where-to-download-iphone-firmware-files-from
    Restored My iPhone using iTunes.
    -Launch iTunes
    -Plug phone into computer and hold down the sleep button and wake button on your phone until it shows iTunes restore
    -Hold Shift in windows 7 while you click restore in iTunes
    This will erase everything on your phone and install a fresh version of 7.1.2
    I had an icloud backup so I applied that to get all my files and settings back.  (you can not apply a backup from iOS7 onto iOS8 so that is why I did everything above)
    I then tried to install the iOS8 update from iTunes instead of over the air.  No luck there either.
    I guess I will stick with iOS7 untill the next build.
    I hope this helps.  Remember if you do not have a backup that includes all your pictures and such don't do this Because all will be lost.
    Has anyone else got iOS8 installed just to get stuck on the Hello page?

  • Error while downloading iPhone app updates

    Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
    Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

    I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
    Did you find a solution yet?
    I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

  • HT1937 I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone

    You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
    If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.

  • IPhone 3G update to 3.0 with repeated 1013 errors - now bricked iPhone! ;-(

    Attempting to update an iPhone 3G to 3.0 from 2.2.1 and it's now a brick.
    Note that I've tried this now from THREE different computers, two macs and one windows box with identical results. I've uninstalled iTunes on the windows box before doing the update attempt.
    The error message is "1013" which also takes you to this highly uninformative page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275.
    Ok, the USB cables and ports on three computers see the same problem error. So it's either the iPhone itself or iTunes 8.2 (23) or both.
    Digging a bit deeper I found that there is a log file kept on the mac. Change to this directory from your home directory "~/Library/Logs/iPhone Updater Logs/" where you'll find one "iPhoneUpdater N.log" file for each attempt to update that you've done.
    When the error occurs Apple asks if I want to send the info to them! YES!!! Make sure you do so that they can sort this out.
    Ok, looking in this log file (I won't dump it all here) you can see a number of errors. The end of the log file shows:
    Powering radio on through AppleBaseband
    - Ping failed, trying again, 21 tries left
    - Ping failed, trying again, 20 tries left
    - Ping failed, trying again, 19 tries left

    2009-06-17 23:39:44.000 iTunes124:20b: iTunes: Restore error 1013
    Clearly there are some problems. Earlier in the log file it had problems updating a number of files.
    Now I've tried this "Connect your iPhone to the computer. press and hold sleep and home, and as soon screen goes blank, count off 5 seconds, then let go of sleep and keep holding home." That didn't change anything. sigh.
    It's almost as if this particular version of the iPhone that I have is incompatible with the current iPhone 3.0 operating system components. Maybe there is a bad driver? Hmmm....
    Ok, here is another error in the log file.
    Loading FLS file /usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE2_04.26.08.fls...OK

    So clearly the file "/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE2_04.26.08.fls" isn't transferred properly! Something is amiss somewhere...
    Could it really be that it can't download the update file to the iPhone due to USB problems? Surely Apple has access to fault tolerant file transfer protocols they can use?
    Sigh... now I'm without my primary phone... grrrr... arrrrg... should have waited....
    Apple maybe you could learn something about "ACID TRANSACTIONS" and include them into the update process to guarantee either 100% success or 100% abort rollback?
    I don't know if this is relevant but now in iTunes on the iPhone page it no longer shows any values at all for the "name, capacity, software version or serial number" fields which is kind of spooky. Does this mean that I need to take the phone in for service? Is it permanently toast?

    Just visitied the Apple Store in Vancouver and wasn't allowed in! They had a wall of orange shirts AND two mall SECURITY guards preventing people from entering UNLESS you were there to purchase a new iPhone 3GS!
    The orange shirt gave me grief refusing to allow me to see a service person! So I asked to speak to his manager. Matt showed up and read me the same riot act of BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! They claimed it was the first day since they opened that they closed their Genius Bar!
    The fact remains that it was APPLE's Update that bricked my iPhone that I depend upon.
    So the manager went off to get his boss when I asked him too. I think he was just glad to get away from a rational insistent customer spoiling their wonderful happy Apple day selling new phones.
    So a non-technician showed up and offered to take my phone into the store and try to update it. She lied. She returned to tell me that my warranty was expired due to the "water litmus" paper being RED. ***? You've got to be kidding! I've NEVER had it anywhere near water! The lie was that she didn't actually try to connect it and that she was going to secretly find out if my warranty was void. Not what I call informed consent.
    So I asked her to check and try updating the phone anyway and off she trundled. Less than no time she returned telling me that my iPhone couldn't be seen by three of their computers! ***! It was working on my three computers at home!
    In fact as I type this it's running another update this moment. About 3/4 done.
    So now Apple's Update Bricked my iPhone which was working perfectly without any problems. If they hadn't brought their update out the phone would still be working just great!
    Needless to say I'm extremely annoyed yet composed (for the moment).
    So my options at this point seem to be to (1) replace the phone for ~260.00 CAD or (2) upgrade to a 3GS for an indeterminate amount if FIDO permits it, or (3) hope that Apple home base gets their act together with a new iTunes update which can at least get the phone working again, (4) toss the phone off a bridge, (5) sue Apple and FIDO for their negligence in providing faulty software updates that bricked the phone. Grrr... Arrrggg....
    Oh, it just failed the update again! At least it can be seen by my computers (two mac and one vista box).
    Ok, now what...
    CHECK YOUR iPhone warranty voided strips to see if they are RED/PINK! If it's only iPhones with RED that are the problem then maybe that's the cause. HOWEVER, if even ONE iPhone has this problem and it's not got a RED water strip then it's conclusive that the problem is elsewhere - basic diagnostic process and rock solid logic. Please check your RED WARRANTY VOIDED STRIPS and let me know here... you check them with a flash light at the bottom of your iPhone in the slot where the SIMM card is and where the dock/cable connector goes in. Shin the light into there and move the phone or the light about till you see either a 1/4 inch long strip - RED/PINK means you Apple won't honor your warranty or their craftsmanship.
    Ok... now to find out how much it will cost to upgrade to a 3GS on the FIDO plan. Sigh. Grrr... arrrggggg....

  • I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode (Error 2006 (Mac) 2009 (Windows)

    Hi everyone, my iPhone 5 has just randomly stopped working. It's out of warranty so Apple won't help at all. The screen just wouldn't turn on at all so I opened it up and checked out all the connections and somehow I got the screen on, when plugged in it shows an iTunes logo so I plugged it into my computer and it said it was in recovery mode. I try to restore and I get Error 2006 on my Mac and Error 2009 on my windows computer. I have tried all different ports and all different lightning connectors to no avail. I have also replaced the battery which didn't help.
    I'm thinking it is the charging port but I'm not sure. Does it seem like I should replace that?

    If your phone is in recovery mode, all data are gone.  Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and restore.
