  • TS3694 after i was trying to fix my iphone 3gs recovery mode an error occured saying error 1015

    hello i failed to fix my recovery mode error 1015

    Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
    The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
    When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
    The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

  • TS3694 how do you solve a error 1015 when restoring a iphone from recovery mode?

    how do you solve a error 1015 when restoring a iphone from recovery mode?

    This error is generally exhibited when someone tries to downgrade iOS. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This is the part you are looking for.
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported. 
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

    How do I resurrect my iPhone in recovery mode? what does it mean and how do I make it recover?
    Please help. Appreciate your assistance.

    It just means that you want to reset it for some technical reason by holding down the lock and home button for a few seconds till it shuts downs and the apple logo pops up which then you let go. Note: nothing on your phone will be deleted.

  • Am trying to sync my new 3gs to itunes.Says "iphone in recovery mode.Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes" Am worried bout doing this as phone came with a note saying " Do NOT restore or update software on itunes when asked otherwise

    Am trying to sync my 3gs to itunes,keeps coming up with a notice saying! iphone in recovery mode. Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes.
    Am really worried about doing this as the phone came with a note enclosed saying "Do NOT restore or update iphone software on itunes when asked to otherwise unlock will be lost"
    Is it safe for me to restore or will it block my phone?
    Can anybody help me please?

    Sounds like you purchased a phone that was hacked to run on a network other than the one it was originally locked to.
    Where, exactly did you get this phone?  If it's already in a state where it says it must be restored, you don't have a choice. If the phone was hacked, it will be re-locked to the network it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking the phone.

  • Iphone in recovery mode after software update

    Hello, I have just downloaded and upgraded my software on iphone 4.
    It seemed to have taken about 2-3 hours.
    There was an error (which I missed) and now I have on my phone the white apple sign, on my itunes it says - "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes.
    My only option on itunes is to restore to original settings, which Im guessing I will lose all my data etc?
    Does anyone know of an alternative solution?
    I have held down the home and power button but no luck.
    Please help!

    Try the steps:
    How to perform a recovery-mode restore
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

  • Iphone in recovery mode,i'm restoring and updating to itunes but download cannot be completed... my phone wont open, i can't even turn the power on.what to do? pls help

    iphone in recovery mode,i'm restoring and updating to itunes but download cannot be completed...
    my phone wont open, i can't even turn the power on.
    what to do? pls help
    (iphone 4  and  iphone 4s)

    So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html  downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened  If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

  • In the middle of updating my iphone 4, a icon popped up saying that itunes had detected an iphone in recovery mode and i needed to restore it. my iphone screen is a picture of a usb cord with an arrow pointing to an itunes symbol. what do i do?

    i started to update my iphone 4, and in the middle of the update, an icon popped up saying that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be sued with iTunes."
    I really cannot lose the data on my phone. i foolishly did not back up everything ecause there was a previous problem i had with icloud and i needed to delete all of my icloud accounts accept for my contacts.
    WHat would i lose if i restored it? and do i need to restore it?
    is there another way? if there is, i definetely do not need the update. someone please help me.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

  • 4.2.1 update downloaded to my imac,but has put my iphone in recovery mode!!

    Hi,as the title suggests yesterday I downloaded update 4.2 to my imac and when it finished downloading I got the message,"itunes detects an iphone in recovery mode.You must restore the iphone to be compatible with itunes." So I clicked on the restore icon and after a couple of minutes I get the same message about being in recovery mode.
    I've been on the support site but nothing,checked out a couple other sites aswell,downloaded Recboot,iRecovery,tried on another computer to restore,but nothing is happening.
    Love my apple products,but so p#####d off that when something goes wrong it's a nightmare.
    Please can anyone give any advice that I haven't already tried.
    Cheers

    What happens when you try to restore, does it give you an error?
    I had a similar problem. Went to update from 4.1 to 4.2(.1) and every time it failed and left my iPhone stuck in recovery mode. Usually it failed with the error 1013 or 1004 - which according to Apple are hardware issues. THEY ARE NOT.
    There is a simple fix for this: If you are on a windows PC:
    goto:
    C:\windows\system32\drivers\ect\
    and if there is a file called: hosts.umbrella (or something very similar) then delete it.
    There should also be a file called: hosts (or something very similar) - Open that with your favorite text editor and remove any line which has: apple.com
    Then save the file, restart your PC and begin the update again, all should work fine.
