Im trying to restore my iphone 3G, i used itunes to restore it so it downloaded the iOS, after that it gives me the error 1015, when i read about the error then it tells me that i was downgrading, but how come since i used itunes to restore? why didnt it automatically provide me with the latest software made perfectly for the iPhone?

Your phone was jailbroken. You can't get help here.
In VERY RARE circumstances, this may indicate a hardware failure.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

    Help!
    Probably you have never experienced this, but I have lost the ability to iMessage.
    When I try to turn on iMessage, it tells me that "an error occurred while trying to turn on iMessage." 
    It's not a huge deal, but people with iPhones can't text me back unless they try to re-send after finding out that their message wasn't delivered.
    Help!
    I think I have gone through every support option available, short of
    Scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar. But I have been to the store three times in the last three weeks.
    To solve a different problem, the folks at the store replaced my iPhone 4S.
    I came home and loaded my backup onto the new phone. Everything EXCEPT iMessage seems to be working great.
    I would really appreciate any feedback...

  • TS3694 What is the cause of "error 1015" when trying to restore and update an iPhone 3gs?

    What is the cause of "error 1015" when you're trying to restore and update an iphone 3gs? My iphone is currently in recovery mode and can not get out of it. All the information about my iphone shown on itunes is only marked as- N/A. How can I get my iphone out of recovery mode and get it to recover and update?
    Thank you,
    MacQuestioner3

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015, which says:
    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.
    In other words, either your phone is jailbroken and you are sadly out of luck or you are trying to downgrade iOS.

  • 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.

    Hello Abdo_Zain,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to gain access to my iPad.  If you are unsure what your Apple ID is, you can find the steps in this article:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
    You can reset a forgotten Apple ID password by going to the following link:
    Apple - iForgot
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    Also, you may be able to skip the step of entering your Apple ID if you are setting up the iPad for the first time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • When attempting to perform updates, it asks for credit card information. I give it all the information its ask but then it tells me that the security code is invalid. I have rechecked it and rentered it several times still it tells me the code is wrong

    When attempting to perform updates on my iphone, it asks for credit card information. I give them the information directly from the card but then it tells me that the security code is invalid. I have rechecked the information several times which also includes reentering the card info and still it says its wrong. What do I do?

    Contact iTunes store support: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.

  • TS3297 how i can fix error 1015 when i restore iphone 3g ?

    how i can fix error 1015 when i restore iphone 3g ?

    You can't.  Error 1015 occurs when trying to restore a jailbroken phone.
    Jailbreaking your phone voids any warranty remaining with Apple and forfeits your right to any assistance from Apple including from this forum.
    You're on your own.  From what other people have posted, it's extremely unlikely you'll ever get your phone working again.

    I have installed adobe reader onto my Mac but when I open up an adobe pdf it tells me that i need to accept the end user license agreement, quite, and then open up a new browser but i have never seen the end user license agreement. What should I do in order to accept the end user license agreement even though it never pops up when i install adobe reader?

    Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.
