    how to restore the iphone 4 when you get a restore message error (-1)?

    If the iPhone was jailbroken, you get this error due to baseband mismatch. No help for such iPhones here in this forum.
    if not, Restore on another computer. If error persists it is hardware failure.

  • How to restore my iphone 3G when is on recovery mode all the time.

    My iphone 3G is always in recovery mode showing on the screem an usb pointing into and Itunes icom.  I can not unlock it.  How I can restore when I am using windows 7 on my pc? As well I would like to let you know that I am not sure what kind of programs I need to download to resolve my issue. I have heard about "tinyumbrella".
    I have some pictures and videos that I do not want to loose. I would appreciate any kind of help to sort out my problem.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards
    Joseph

    1.  The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5.  Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?

    2.  "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error."  What EXACT error?
    3.  "i restored but some things were erased"  What "things"?  Did you get an error again.  Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
    4.  Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

  • How to restore my iphone 3gs when it won't get out of the apple logo loop?

    So my mom's friend gave me her iphone 3gs so she could use it to listen to music. She says that she completly erased the phone but whenever I try to turn it on, it stays on this loop that is charging but with little charge and to the apple logo. The volume button is gone and so you can't press it. Is it possible to make the phone work again? Will the upgraded itunes recognize or is it possible to obtain an itunes version that can recognze it?

    depends on what you have
    do you have vista, 7, or xp
    firmware is like the iphones security that helps run programs
    Firmware is the name given to the set of programs that are an integral part of the operation of a computer’s hardware. They enable to hardware to function properly and allow software to run on the hardware.
    It is called firmware because it’s not software (i.e., the programs that users run on the computer), but it’s also not hardware (the physical objects that make up the computer).
    On the iphone, firmware is the set of operations and tools that sit between the hardware that the phone uses and the software that runs on the phone. It enables features, fixes bugs, and attends to the functioning of the phone.
    Periodically, Apple releases firmware updates to add new functionality to the iphone, correct problems with it, and close security holes.

    I recently restored my iphone.  When attempting to set it back up it will not accept my password.  Yet when i log into the apple store i have no problem logging in using the same apple id and password.  How do i get the iphone to recognize my apple id and password?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of the Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • How do I restore my iPhone 4s when it asks to put in a password for a non existent iCloud account?

    how do I restore my iPhone 4s when it is asking me to sign into a non existant iCloud account?

    Do you have a second hand device and the Activation Lock has not been removed by the previous owner?
    Check the status of the Activation Lock on your computer by using this link: icloud.com/activationlock
    If the Activation Lock is still active and this is not one of your Apple ID's, if you are using more than one, contact the previous owner to have the Activation Lock removed:
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • I forgot my password\i get my phone back and i forgot my password so i read that you have to restore your iphone so when i tried restoring it it said the i phone cannot be restored at this time and i need help plz.

    I forgot my password\i get my phone back and i forgot my password so i read that you have to restore your iphone so when i tried restoring it it said the i phone cannot be restored at this time something about cant be contacted with the server and i youtubed how to fix that and it did but when i tried it again it said error (3194) so i went back and it said it cant be restored at this time please im paying 100$ per month and i cant use my i phone 4 hep....

    Error 3194 most often means that your Computer Hosts file is blocking Apple from signing your firmware. Search on your computer for the word 'Hosts'. Open the Hosts with a word processor. If gs.apple.com is present your Hosts file is blocking Apple, and therefore giving Error 3194. A stock Hosts file does not have gs.apple.com in it. If want Apple to Restore your Firmware you will need to remove the lines with gs.apple.com in them.

  • I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

    I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?

    I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
    What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier.  ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
    If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

    how to reset someelse iphone 4 when they lost there activate info

    If you mean activation lock with Find My iPhone enabled with the iCloud account settings on the iPhone preventing the iPhone from being restored with iTunes, they will need to find their info such as the password for their Apple ID. They can do that by contacting Apple to reset the password for their Apple ID.
