  • HT201210 firmware file not compatable

    When trying to upgrade my iphone 4 to latest version of iso I get a download error message saying firmware file not compatible

  • HT201210 firmware file not compatible

    i was trying to update my ipad 2 to ios 7 (on windows 7 - extracted the ipsw from the .dmg file) (model Number: A1395) when itunes said the ios 7 .ipsw file which i used was not compatible 'firmware file is not compatible' despite double checking it was the correct file! Any fixes/solutions to this issue please? Many Thanks.

    iOS 7 is BETA software.

    You may have bricked the device by trying to steal unofficial software... good luck.

  • HT201210 firmware file is not compatable

    For the last few day my phone keeps searching for a signal and at the same time my phone keeps saying activation required.
    when connected to the computer iTunes cannot read the phone and suggest restoring the phone, after downloading the new ios5 a  get a message "cannot restore the phone because the firmware is not compatible"
    I have spoken to vodafone (network provider) and they have informed me that it is because the sin card is do old and need to be replaced.

    also locate the .ipsw and delete it forcing itunes to download a fresh file and then restore

  • HT201210 the iphone could not restored because the firmware file is not compatible

    this my qeustion ?
    the iphone could not restored because the firmware file is not compatible

    Generally a sign that the iPhone has been hacked or modified
    to work with other than the original wireless carrier or an attempt
    was made to return to a version of iOS earlier than the version
    currently installed on the iPhone.
    Google may provide some direction, but discussion of hacked
    iPhones is prohibited by Terms of Service for this forum.

  • HT201210 It says my firmware file is not compatible after I tried to update my IPhone 4. Does anyone know what this means?

    Hello,
    I tried to download updates on my IPhone 4 and a message box appeared saying--after it downloaded the updates on my computer--that my firmware file is not compatible. Does anyone know what this means?
    Thank you

    Only the individual that set the restrictions passcode knows what it is.
    If you do not know it or have forgotten it, put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

  • TS3694 When trying to update or restore my Iphone I get an error message saying...could not be restored because firmware file is not compatible.  What is this and how can it be resolved?

    When trying to restore or update my Iphone 4 it errors out with message:..."could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible."  How do I resolve this?

    Ask him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

  • While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 and iPhone 5.1 - firmware file???

    I am trying to find my "Personal Hot Spot" on my iPhone 4 so that I can use my new iPad through my personal hot spot.  First of all my iPhone is still on version 4 so I was told to update to version 5.1.  I was also told to update my iTunes to version 10.6.3 which I did.  After backing up my iPhone the next step is to download version 5.1 for my iPhone.  At the end of the download however, I still get something to this effect, "The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible".  What else can I try?  Thanks.

    The error message you are getting sounds like you have jailbroken your iPhone or have updated to iPhone OS 4.0 Beta.
    Eitherway, I would follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 for a possible solution as these steps may not work.

  • Iphone cannot be updated to ios 5.1.1 as the firmware file is not compatible

    Trying to update iphone 4 from software 4.3.5 to 5.1.1, have tried this twice, but each time I receive an error message telling me that the phone can't be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. I called Apple Support who advised me to restore and update and said this would work. I tried this but after 45 mins that didn't work either, wouldn't even restore, I just got the same error message.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Try update computer iTunes to 10.6.3 then try again.
