    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.

  • 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 restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

    If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted.  You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open.  If it does, you're off and running.  What methods have you tried?

    Take your laptop to somewhere that has wifi so you can restore your phone using iTunes.
    Nothing else you can do if you forgot your passcode and don't have internet.
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    How are you able to post on this forum if you have no internet?

  • How to restore my iPhone 3G, ios 3.1.3, from backup without updating.

    How do I restore my iPhone 3G, ios 3.1.3, from a backup without updating.  I need to restore my ical entries and they are wiped out on both my main and backup drive and mobile me.  My phone is also wiped out and I think my back up may be my only hope of getting that info back.  Every time I try to restore using itunes 5.1 itunes only shows me th option to restore and update.  Not just restore.  Will the option to just restore from the last backup present itself in the process or do I need to shift click or something?  Thanks for your help...

    Can't I fake it out so it just leaves my ios as it is but restores files and settings?  ios 4 doesn't really work well with the 3G models.  They get slow and buggy.  Isn't there some way to just put the ipsw file somewhere and point to it?  Or, is there a way to just rip the ical info outof the backup files.  That would work to.
