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

Since posting the above - I have now tried downloading the update on my iPhone rather than via iTunes, and its just worked and installed and seems fine! Was a lot quicker as well than the download time via iTunes

  • 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.

    Are you attempting to upgrade to the current version of iOS (5.1.1) or to 5.1? If you're not trying to update to the current version, it won't work. 5.1 is no longer signed.

    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.

  • Firmware File Not Found

    Hello All:
    I would appreciate any assistance you could offer. I attempted to upgrade my iPod 60 GB to version 1.2. Somewhere along the line, a file was corrupted and now I cannot either update or restore the iPod. When I select either function I receive the following error message:
    The iPod XXXX could not be updated b/c the firmware file could not be found.
    I attmepted to restore it with an older version of Ipod updater. Afterwards, I reinstalled all music and vide and again attempted to update the iPod using iTunes 7-same freaking error message. I then tried to restore it. Same freaking error message.
    So, two questions: 1. Did I fry the things (although I can still play music)? and 2. Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks

    I am having same exact problem and have tried everything. Nothing has fixed it. And the instructions for corrupt firmware files also haven't helped since my computer can't seem to find the.
    Ideas?
    this is so frustrating!!!!
    Thanks.

  • Firmware File not compatible

    I have an iPhone 5 GSM a1428. I am trying to update to IOS 8, and I have the right file, and I know how to do it. Also I have registered my UDID to get the download. Whenever I hit the file of ipsw, there is an error that says the firmware file is not compatible. I have tried numerous things to get it to work. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!! I WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO WORK!!!

    Gee Meg, do I have to chide you to?
    While getting your .ipsw from a torrent or some "developer" who sells them is stupid and pretty much guaranteed to cause migraines it is not illegal. It can't be a theft as the cost of the upgrade when it is released is free.
    It is a license agreement violation by the "developers" who sell and post these out on the internet and Apple can go after them (and I hope they do) the person buying it or downloading it has not violated anything.
    Since this person registered their phone sounds like they are a developer and you wisely steered them to that site.
