HT201210 How to fix error 2001 in iphone 3gs?

I was charging (with an after market car charger) my 3gs when out of the blues it turned off. When it rebooted it appeared in DFU mode.  When I was able, I connected it to my MBP running on Snow Leopard, once again the DFU mode appeared. iTunes detected that the iphone was in recovery mode and that it had to be restored.  I downloaded the latest version of IOS and proceeded to restore the iphone.  After iTunes extracted the IOS software and was preparing the iphone for restore, the screen went white and then rebooted and gives methe error:
The iphone “iphone” could not be restored.  An unknown error has occurred (2001).
I have tried updating iTunes, rebooting my MBP, updating IOS but nothing has worked. I feel frustrated.  If some one has encountered and has been able to successfully resolve this problem please let me know how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • TS1424 how to fix error 21 my iphone doesnt work what should i do????

    how to fix error 21 my iphone doesnt work what should i do????

    Hello,
    I found this article that should help you out:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It says the following about Error 21:
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Hope that helps,
    David

    Hey there fcaride,
    It sounds like you are unable to finish restoring with iTunes due to this error -1 message. Usually that is associated with security software. Use the steps from the following article to help with that:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    If the issue persists, I would next use the last section of the following article titled "If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up"
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
