HELP my iPhone wont restore!!!!

I connected my iPhone to my MacBook and as usual he connects with iTunes.
My iTunes asked for an update on the software of the phone. I confirmed and the process started.
The update stopped but before finishing.
I can't start up my iPhone and when I connect it to my iTunes he asks to restore.
He starts restoring but then stops and gives an error 1611.
Can somebody help me??? I have no idea what happend and how to restore this.

READ ALL OF THESE NOTES THROUGH AND THROUGH TWICE before proceeding. You'll need to somewhat anticipate the next steps as you're doing this!
1. Use a second computer and install iTunes... (DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT uninstall iTunes from computer #1 (AKA) the computer you are having the issues with. (You may lose ALL of your iPhone info which is saved on computer #1. The info is already gone from your iPhone, so you will have to restore it!)
2. On computer number 2, once iTunes is installed, hook up your iPhone. iTunes should tell you that it has found an iPhone in restore mode and it must be restored. Go through all of the steps until your iPhone is successfully restored. It should be very easy and iTunes will walk you through it. This will delete ALL of your info on your iPhone (which is really already lost) and it will get the iPhone back to the factory settings (just like it was the day you bought it)...
3. If you keep getting errors saying the iPhone can't be restored, re-install iTunes on computer #2 and try again. (I REPEAT, DO NOT UNINSTALL ITUNES FROM COMPUTER #1) or any computer you may have synced your phone to previously.
If reinstalling iTunes doesn't fix this and you still can not get the iPhone to restore, go to a 3rd computer and try until you get the iPhone restored to factory settings.
4. DO NOT PLUG YOUR iPhone INTO COMPUTER #1 YET!
Once the iPhone is successfully restored to its factory settings, walk back to computer #1. AGAIN, DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR iPhone YET!!
5. On computer #1 open iTunes. Go to Edit/Preferences/Devices and check the box that says "prevent iPhones/iPods from syncing automatically". If this is not checked your iPhone may sync to a corruped restore point and you'll have to start over and re-restore your iPhone.
*Note the device backup window on this screen. There should be at least one date and time from when you previously restored your iPhone. If not, you are probably screwed. Click OK and close that window.
6. Plug in your iPhone and let it do whatever it does. Now, on the left hand side of iTunes RIGHT mouse click on your iPhone icon. Click "restore from backup"
There will be a drop down menu that lets you select from your previous sync dates. AGAIN, if you haven't synced you could be screwed.
Select a date from you which you think the iPhone will work, and click RESTORE.
This should restore your iPhone back to that sync date.
This worked for me!!

Error code 3194 please help ıphone 4 wont restore,

Hello everyone
Having a problem with iphone 4 while trying to upgrade from 4.3.5 to 5.1.1.
iPhone 4 wont restore!!!!!! it gives 3194 error.
the phone is bought in Russia and there is no sim lock
On the screen, it says connect to itunes
please help what should I do?

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.
Error 3194: You may not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. If the issue persists, follow the steps above in "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com".

You need to install the adobe flash player plugin. Download only from the adobe flash player plugin download page. Mount the downloaded dmg and launch the installer. Check the agree to terms to enable the install button and then click the install button.
Once installed, the next launch of your browser should allow you to play youtube videos and flash videos on other flash video sites.

Error 1015 occurs on a phone that's been jailbroken.
Jailbreaking not only voids any remaining warranty with Apple, but forfeits your right to any Assistance from Apple, including from this forum.

You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance. It's very likely your phone is permanently hosed.

Help needed - ipad wont restore

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
Look at this discussion that I found in the More Like This box on the right. You can try the recommendation in it as well.
