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

I was syncing my iPod and got the message that an update was available. I downloaded the update and just as it was almost finished, I got an error message. It couldnt' update my iPod because the "firmware file is not compatible." What's up with this? I've never had any problems before with this iPod or with my iPhone 4S before this.
Update your iTunes to latest version.
Try restoring your phone in DFU Mode, if that doesn’t work then try downgrading your iTunes back to iTunes 8 and try again. -
HT201210 my i phone will not update because the firmware file is not compatible what does that mean?
I am trying to run an update on my iphone and I received an error saying the firmware file is not compatible. What does that mean?
Navigate to this folder and delete any and all .ipsw files you find. You will have to turn on "show all hidden files & folders" to see them:
OSX:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Vista & 7:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Turn off or disable ALL security software & any firewalls. Make sure you're using a high powered USB port directly on your computer...no hubs, if a desktop use a port on the back of your computer. Disconnect ALL other USB devices.
Try again. -
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 compatibleGenerally 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.

i tried installing ios 6 on my new ipad but when i try to change it to ios 6 it says that the firmware file is not compatile. Is there any way to fix this problem?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Only developers have legal access to iOS 6 right now, if you really, really wanted it you could sign on as a developer for $99.
