While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did.  Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone. 
It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.  You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists.

    I tried to update my software, and my phone went into recovery mode. Now it says to restore it through iTunes but when I try that, it says its unavaliable to restore. What do I do to get my phone out of recovery mode??

    You don't. What do you mean it says "unavailable to restore"? What is the EXACT wording of the message you're getting?

    It's impossible to say exactly why it went into recovery mode. To get it out, plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

    You don't. Once it's in recovery mode, anything that was on the phone is already gone.

  • I've tried everything to get my phone out of recovery mode but nothing is working.

    Hi,
    I recently started updating my phone to I.O.S 8.1.3, and it was downloading and updating fine, then it said it had an error updating. I turned it off and on again to see if that would work, and when I clicked install it showed up as if it was turning off. It then showed up that I needed to connect to iTunes. So I did, and it said it was in recovery mode, and that I needed to restore. So I tried that and it said multiple times, when I got part way through the restoration, that the network had timed out when it hadn't. So I researched ways to get it out of the recovery mode.
    I've tried:
    holding down home and lock button
    holding down lock and volume button
    downloading tinyumbrella, however it wouldn't let me open it
    Putting it into DFU mode and restoring
    Nothing is working! I don't know what to do, I need my phone for when I'm travelling and now I don't have one.
    Anyone got any more ideas? I'll be incredibly grateful.
    If I can't get this to work I've wasted £200 of money on a phone that decides it's logical to kill itself. I won't be doing that again.

    I was trying to download TinyUmbrella because some people have said it basically kicks phones out of recovery mode, and I did try that but it hadn't worked, it kept loosing connection with the phone even though it was connected.
    I took the phone to the O2 shop and they did something to restore it, so it's working fine finally thanks for replying!

  • HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

    Hello People,
    My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
    Any suggestions please post below this thread.
    Best Regards,
    Kieran

    You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1

    Error 1015 means that your iPhone is jailbroken or hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple hosted forum.
