Are you trying to downgrade the iOS version - this isn't supported and gives error 1015.
1015 also occrs if the phone was EVER jailbroken or hacked in any way.  In that case, SOL.

    "This error is 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.

    Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

    While upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.2 something went wrong and came up with the message "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred  [1015]." Now it will not start at all. It just stays on screen with USB and the iTune picture. What can I do to get it going again. I only tried to upgrade because I was prompted to up-grade and now I am helpless. I did a backup before starting the upgrade. The error message did not tell what to do next.  Any help is very much appreciated.

    Usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original
    carrier .
    Updating the operating system locks it back to that original carrier
    You could try this

    However if the iPhone was hacked it is probably a paper weight  now
    and as this is an Apple hosted forum  you can get no further help here

  • "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"

    Yesterday I connected my iPhone 4 to my Windows 7 laptop, and went through to install the latest security update for iPhone through iTunes. When it was installing the software update, the phone froaze, and then this happened:"the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"
    Now, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bonjour and iTunes, to no avail. I have done the iPhone reboot method, and the phone will be identified as "iPhone" but not recognised as mine. iTunes states this phone is in recovery mode and I have tried numerous times to restore it.
    Windows doesn't detect the phone while this is happening. It will not restore and the error is still popping up. I have followed as many threads to rectify this but nothing seems to be working.
    I can resore it on my iMac but the reset date for the iPhone on this computer is six months old.
    Any suggestions?

    When you say you uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, did you follow the directions in this Apple support document exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    That will make a difference on Windows computers. After that, try and reconnect and restore.

  • The Iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (26)

    Hello There,
    My iPhone 4s as of Saturday as been giving me this error. I attempted to re-charge it in the USB Port on my XBox 360, as I always do, and then this is what has been showing on my screen for several days now.
    I have attempted to charge it via a Computer, and iTunes let's me know 'The iPhone is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored so that I can use it with iTunes'. Half way into the download, this error pops up 'The iPhone could not be Restored. An Unknown Error has Ocurred (26)'. I looked up online and could not find this specific Error Code, so I upgraded to the Newest Version of iTunes and tried once more, and to no avail.
    What can I do to rectify this problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thank You

    I've only found 2 things that can cause this specific error. Are to phones that have been jailbroken. Are you absolutely positive you never jailbroke it?
    If you're absolutely positive that it was never jailbroken, then you've hit a wall. The Flash chip that the phone uses to boot from is either physically damaged or has been so badly corrupted it's unwritable. Either way, there is no way to fix it.

    This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue.

    sounds like your phone was jailbroken.  If this is the case, you're hosed.

  • The iPhone could not be restored. There is not enough memory available.

    Hi guys,
    you all seem the be fairly acquainted with all possible iPhone problems. I was searching this forum for an answer to my problem. iTunes won't restore my iPhone because of an error mentioned in the title of this topic - The iPhone could not be restored. There is not enough memory available. I haven't found anything on the net that I haven't tried yet.
    Am using Windows XP, iTunes 7.4.3 and the iPhone used to be on the firmware 1.0.2. I was trying to do the restore but it gave me that error message. I tryed uninstalling everything with WinASO registry cleaner, iTunes, apple device thing(or whatever), installed it 3 times, tried to force the previous firmware with Shift+restore, but nothing. I also tried to switch USB ports. I followed the instruction on how to remove iTunes exactly like it was described in another thread - no success.
    Is there any help you can maybe provide, but don't tell me to go/send it to an Apple Store, since I live in Europe, where there is no official iPhone yet.
    PLease help

    Hi,
    is there a newer version of iTunes than 7.4.3, which I am already using ?
    I don't think so.
    And no, the iPhone has not been hacked before, I was using it like iPod, internet browser and stuff. But no calls.
    My version of iTunes say 7.4.3.1.
    I assume that by saying that your iPhone has not been hacked before means "it has never been hacked."
    Are you paying AT&T for monthly service?
    I would still try to download a fresh copy of iTunes if possible.
    If it does not work, I think that you need to take the iPhone back to the Apple Store or call AppleCare for assistance. The store, and AppleCare, has a number of software tools to potentially diagnose the problems you are encountering.

    I just received a msg. while trying to recover my iphone, stating, "The iphone could not be restored. An unknow error occurred (3194) How do I fix this so I can recover my phone?

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

  • The iphone could not be restored error 23

    **Hello to all I have a iPhone 3gs 3.1.3 Suddenly went Network and i Switched off the devices and turn it on again prepared But not open network and mark appears cable & iTunes And worked restor but an error message appears the iphone could not be restored 23 .**
    **The iPhone still does not function with the flag whenever two devices the same problem .**
    **Please help**
    *thankss*

    Error 23 is generally a hardware failure. 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. You will not be able to restore with a hardware failure. To confirm, try restoring on a known good computer, if you get the same error message, you have a hardware failure.

    This is normally a hardware failure but it can also occur if the phone has been jailbroken or the iOS version rolled back or you are using a computer that was used with a jailbroken device. Try another computer.
