    thanks

    I would like to know if there is a better to fix this since this iphone has been jailbroken. Google search only shows stuff that talks about installing software that has to do with jailbreaking. I just need to restore back to normal.  Thank you!

    Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1. I reserached this error and it said to make sure I have the latest version of iTunes, i do, To make sure i have a security software updated, i do, and ive done everything it tells me to do yet it wont let me restore my iphone. Before I tried restoring it, it was working perfectly fine besides the battery which i have just replaced yesterday. Ive tried restoring it in two different computers with two different cables but still no luck. I found this phone at a park and it was working perfectly fine until i tried restoring it. I have no idea what to do now. I appreciate your guyses help!

    This error generally indicates a hardware failure.  Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • "Your disk could not be partitioned" "An error occurred while partitioning the disk"

    hello, i am operating on a model a1286 mbp mid 2009 laptop, with 4 gb ram 360 gb hdd,
    snow leapord updated to maverick,
    bootcamped w/ win 7 32-bit
    i tried in mac os x maverick to use bootcamp assistant to partition my bootcamp 180 gb partition to be erased and then to start the install of 64-bit.
    the partitioning was stuck at about 17 percent for an hour, so i quit the bootcamp assistant - ive seen on reddit this was a bad thing to do, but i did it anyway because i saw someone posted about being to reboot and do a hdd repair then reboot and try to partition again
    now when i startup my rEfit program that shows me option of loading mac os x maverick or Bootcamp Legacy Os instead of bootcamp win 7 32-bit
    when i tried partioning again its asking me to free up space for 28 gb in bootcamp assistant , i did that, inserted win 7 64-bit dvd install and hit continue dialogue button in bootcamp assistant
    this is where i see i only have 145 gb used in mac os x with 18 gb free and in the windows side 14 gb
    status partitioning disk,
    but then i get an error message saying the partition failed with errors
    i googled and saw i had togo into single user mode by pressing cmd-s during boot and typing /sbin/fsck -fy
    i got a msg saying this command function is not recognized. - along those lines
    how do i reboot and start a repair of the disk?
    also i did a repair file permisions in disk utility but forgot to put back the power cord, so the battery drained and i assume the repair file permissions didnt finish and the mbp just auto shutdowned
    is there a command i could enter into the EFI shell? or single user mode? to repair the hdd partition in the mac os x maverick and the bootcamp legacy os side since the first time i tried erasing everything on the win 7 32-bit side bootcamp assistant got stuck at 17 percent partitioning then I voluntarily quit the program = now i cant partition bca gives me error of:
    "Your disk could not be partitioned" "An error occurred while partitioning the disk"
    thanks in advance,
    -r

    Is that the complete error message? Are you trying to partition the correct drive? It may be that you do not have enough contiguous free space on the drive for the partition.

    i wana restore my iphone 3g but when i restore it with itunes after some time is say  '' iphone could not restored unknow error 1015 '' help me please

    99% because your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken. We cannot help you, see terms of use.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the software for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version isn't supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you're now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • TS3694 what causes iphone to give " iphone could not restored. An unknown error (16)" and how to resolve it?

    I was trying to update iphone 4 with new iOS 7 and all of a suddent the phone is stuck in restoration mode and while trying to update with new iOS, it give an error message that reads like "iphone could not restored. An unknown error occured (16)" in itune page. I am not able to figure out what is causing it and how could it be resolve? please help with the probable options.

    If you read the error messages in the support document that you linked from, you can see that error 16 can be traced to either a USB error, or a hardware error. I would try the recommendations under those sections in the support document and see if you can take care of it. Otherwise, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the hardware checked.

  • 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.

    I am Trying to restore my ipod 4th gen 5.1.1 but when i try to restore it in itunes "The ipod couldnt be restored, an unknow error occured (3194). what should i do?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.

  • TS3694 could not restore my ipod  error 2003 any clues please

    could not restore my ipods  error 2003, any clues please

    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're 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 doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps 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.
