HT201210 Restore iPhone 4 to iOS5??

I tried to restore ios 5 to my iphone 4.  Dont' like current versioni of ios 6.  Received message that device is not eligible.  It was an ios 5 device until I updated it to 6.  Apple won't let me restore it??  Not impressed with the new Apple Inc. since Jobs demise. May have to sell my stock.

Here is a link to revert your phone. http://appadvice.com/appnn/2011/07/how-to-downgrade-ios-5-to-ios-4
Hope it helps and if you decide to voice an opinion other than apple is great be careful because simple minded people are on here too. Also if u google iOS 6 problems with i4 your not the only one with this problem. There are thousands if not millions with the same issues.

  • HT201210 restoring iphone 4, but keep getting error 2001 message

    i am trying to restore iphone 4, but it wont let me, it keeps giving error message 2001, please help me anyone

    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.

  • HT201210 Restoring iPhone 4s but I can't?

    Hi everyone.
    I have a jailbroken iPhone 4S but I want to restore it from the start and completely erase everything. I have followed instructions from this site : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 . Further more, I have already tried restoring under DFU mode. But this is always the result.
    How can I solve this problem? Thanks a bunch!

  • Tried to upgrade my iphone 4 to ios5  in the process it stopeed and the phone screen is frozen and on itunes my Iphone nu longer comes up under devices  what do i do to restore it

    i tried to upgrade my iphone 4 to ios5 yesterday   in the installation process my iphone stopped process and the actuall phone itself has frozen  what is showing is the music note icon over a CD disc icon  with an arrow pointing upwards and a picture of the  usb cable small end .  i have gone back into itunes on the left side and nothing comes up for list of devices to restore it  or reset it back to prior upgrade attempt. i cant even locate the serial number under edit preferences and devices.. however it shows that all my music was imported and synced  .. how do i recover the i phone so i can go back to using it.

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    My photostream doesn't sync to my Mac Air either...

  • I have just update my iphone 4 to iOS5 and it did all the usual restore stuff. The next time I connected to my Mac instead of syncing it started to restore again, any ideas?

    I have just update my iphone 4 to iOS5 and it did all the usual restore stuff. The next time I connected to my Mac instead of syncing it started to restore again, thus locking my handset, any ideas?

    This indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.
    You might want to try a simple sync first

    Hi folks, just yesterday i can restore my iphone 4 that have a problem when i restore from itunes, when i do the restore from itnes, always showed me the following error:
    01:41:37.0017] Depth:0 Error:AMRestorePerformRestoreModeRestoreWithError failed with error: -1
    [01:41:37.0017]    Depth:1 Error:The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg)
    [01:41:37.0017]       Depth:2 Error:The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - failed to update device firmware)
    [01:41:37.0017]          Depth:3 Error:The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - ramrod firmware update failed)

    [01:41:37.0017]           - kBBUReturnTimedOut(8)/16: Pinging timed out
    what I did was this: just when I will finish the process, when the status bar is at the end in the firmware, only put the sim card and go back to take out, I do this like 4 or 5 times and the process restoration ends so well. This method I tried it 2 times and 2 times worked. I spent like 10 hours trying to restore iphone without results, until I started watching the logs and the key is when you are upgrading the firmware sends a command to answer yes. And I hope this helps.
    This is the line of the log that appears and when the restoration is correct:
    amai: AMAuthInstallBasebandHandleUpdaterStatus: commandAccepted: YES

  • HT201210 itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode.  You must restore iphone before it can be used with itunes.

    itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode.  You must restore iphone before it can be used with itunes.
    Has anyone been able to restore their iphone after updating on itunes? 

    Probably over 200 million people have been able to restore their phone after updating on iTunes. 400 million if you consider that many people have updated more than once.
    Have you restored it as directed? I gather from the fact that you posted that you tried and something went wrong. If you post what you did and what went wrong, including the error message and error number, we can probably help get your phone running again.

  • HT201210 how to fix restore iphone 5 error (1)

    when i restore iphone 5 with ios 7.0.4 error (1) how to fix ???

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
