How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??

The only advice we can give is to try and put it into DFU mode and restore. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new phone.
There is a reason that Jailbreaking isn't supported. You have just been kicked in the donkey by it.

  • How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 21

    I have an Iphone 3GS. I replaced the battery and digitizer. When I plug in to Itunes the Iphone wants to "restore", but I recieve an error code 21, and it will not "restore.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Peter

    Peter,
    In the past, I have had some devices show that error but I was able to simply hard reset the device and it booted fine. 
    Was the phone jailbroken before?  Also, I would make sure you are attempting the restore in DFU mode versus Recovery mode.  It sounds like it is having a conflict with the baseband which is why the device is not allowing itself to boot.  You might also try using TinyUmbrella to fix recovery. 
    If you continue having issues, let me know.  Also let me know if you are using PC or Mac and which OS you are running. 
    Let me know how it goes!  If it doesn't work I may have a few other tricks up my sleeve.

  • Unable to restore iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (error 1013)

    I recently updated my 16GB iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (iPhone2,14.0_8A293Restore.ipsw) using iTunes 9.2 - it worked fine for a few days then all of a sudden I got a pop up message saying "you are unable to make or receive calls, please connect to iTunes". I did so and restored the firmware, it went through the whole cycle, unpacked, installed, verified and when it was about to be completed I got the following error from iTunes:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)"
    The phone remained in restore mode (iTunes icon and USB cable). I tried restoring again with the same result. I then deleted the firmware file, rebooted and reinstalled (same error). I then deleted a reinstalled iTunes (no dice). I tried alternative USB ports and cables and also tried on 2 other computers and tried all this in DFU mode too yet nothing has worked.
    I would also like to point out that it is an original O2 phone with O2 chi[p that has *never been jailbroken*. Any ideas as to whats wrong? Or what I can do? Thanks in advance for you help!

    OK, so nothing else was working so I took my phone into the Genius bar and explained what had happened. The Genius said He was unsure what error 1013 was so he looked it up and explained "It's an error related to the baseband and that more than likely the phone was unable to communicate with Apple servers as Apple had the phone marked as non existent"
    He continued to explain that there was a fix he could do but would be quicker and easier to replace my phone. He did so and I left happy.
    I recomend you just take your phones in if you are having this same issue!

  • HT201263 I cannot restore iPhone 3GS with iTunes

    I cannot restore my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. I am using Windows 7. Can anyone help me. I wont even boot. I previously jailbroke it. So i need help. I try restore. iPhone cannot restore. I try .ipsw file. Cannot restore because the firmware file is corrupted.

    Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any warranty with Apple, but also forfeits your ability to receive any assistance, including from this forum.
    Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
    You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance.  I know, why don't you start with the lovely people who helped you jailbreak your phone to begin with?

  • 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.

  • HT1386 stuck in restore mode keep getting error code 1015

    i bought this i phone 3g second hand and when i plug it into i tunes to restore it i keep getting a error code saying it cant complete restore error code 1015 can somebody please help me please

    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.
    It sounds like that unit was/is jailbroken. We can't help you here with that because of Apple's TOS. I suggest using Google or YouTube for help.

  • I can't restore my iphone 3gs. receiving error code 23

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem in restoring my iphone.
    How do I got this issue?
    I got it when I failed to create an Email exchange account then my phone hangs and after i restarted it. it went to restore mode the one with itunes and an USB picture.
    The 1st error that I was encountering says: i need to put in the SIM or pin code.
    Then I update my itunes and try the restore again and after that I got the error code 23.
    I already tried to restore it in other computer.
    Hope someone can help me with my problem.
    Thanks,

    Error 23 is a hardware failure. The fact that you tried to restore on a different computer confirms this. If under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store or contact whoever handles warranty & support where you live. If out of warranty, google third party repair shops in your area. Apple also offers an out of warranty exchange program, the cost in the US is $199.

  • TS3694 Can't update iOS7 to Iphone 4 with error code 3004

    Hi Support,
    I can't upgrade my iphone 4 OS to iOS7. Please advise what error code 3004 means.
    Regards,
    Alex Man

    From the article that the question was posted from:
    Network connection or download errors
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't 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 isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot 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 (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.

  • HT201210 cannot restore iPhone 5s.  error code 40

    I cannot restore my iphone 5s after multiple blue screens and I cannot reset with the home-on buttons together.  I updated all software on my mac as suggested and I still get error code (40).  Any help out there?

    Here's what error 40 can be about:
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    Has the software on your phone been modified?

  • Can't restore iphone 3gs - unknown error occured - error 13

    Press and hold the home button down for about 10 seconds and while holding it down plug it into itunes and keep holding it until it asks you to restore.

  • Restore iphone 3gs from error 9

    I disconnected my iphone 3gs before the update was complete and am told now to restore it. I do not have any contacts or photos backed up. Is there any way of restoring it without losing all of my content?

    If you have a Windows PC you can connect your phone.  Do not open iTunes but instead as soon as the device is recognized you should see a box pop up and ask if you want to import your photos and videos. 
    If the box doesn't pop up you can goto My Computer and right click your device.  There should be an option in the menu to Import Photos and Vids
    Unfortunately there is no way to pull your contacts unless you had them synced with an email account on the device
