HT201210 trying to update my iPhone 4 to latest 5x ios and getting a "cannot update due to firmware not compatible
Trying to update iPhone 4 to the latest iOS 5, the error "cannot update due to incompatible firmware" prevents install. Any idea on where to find firmware update or resolve?
The correct way to upgrade the firmware is to first assure that you have the latest version of iTunes, then connect the phone to your computer. Click on the name of the phone in iTunes, then "Check for Updates" on the iPhone Summary screen. It should tell you there is a new version, and ask if you want to upgrade to it. If you are using any other method, or you downloaded a firmware file from a web site, you are asking for trouble.
The only thing you might want to do is to delete any .ipsw files on your computer before doing the above, in the unlikely event that the update file was corrupted during download.

i tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??
Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error. -
I tried to restore a backup from a 32 Gig iPhone 4s (That seemed successful) to a 32 Gig iphone 5C and get the message "backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone that is being restored" Can anyone assist?
I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on. If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS. -
I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS6 and now my music in the cloud will not show up
I updated my iPhone 4S with the OS6 and now my music will now show up on my phone. I have abotu 11000 songs in the cloud. I can see them on my computer- they are all still there- but they don't show up on my phone at all. PLEASE HELP ME!! I am panicking just a bit.
My phone is doing the same thing, I have sprint and they went through all their troubleshooting and nothing worked. Then they transferred me to apple technician. The apple technician went through more troubleshooting and eventually suggested I wipe my phone. I wiped my phone, then using itunes and my phone I was able to get it into recovery mode. Once itunes recognized the recovery mode, it asked me if I wanted to recover my iphone. I went through the whole process, and got everything back. The phones network came back unfortunately not for very long and it was back to searching for the network without me being able to call, receive calls or text. Its been going on for almost a week now since I upgraded to 7.1 and no one can fix it...I want to know how to revert back to 7.0.....

I recently updated my Iphone 4s to the newest IOS and I now cannot turn on Wi-fi. Has anyone esle had the same problem? Is there a fix? I've tries restoring to a previous software update, but it appears the wi-fi was completely disabled and I do not have the ability to turn it on.
Apple is aware of the issue and is expected to release 7.0.3 next week to address iMessage issues.
In the meantime I have found that a good old fashion reset cures it for a while. -
When i try to update my iPhone 3gs with new IOS and it won't restore and update
i Tried to update my 3Gs with the new IOS 5 and now it has the plug into itunes sign. I plugged it into itunes and it told me its in recovery mode and it needs to be restored. when i click restore i can only restore and update it but once it is don extracting the software and preps it for restore it tells me it has an unknow error. when i hit ok it tells me to restore it again. i tried all the troubleshooting steps none helped. Any ideas?
I have spent the better part of three days on this. Yesterday I took it to the Apple store and they looked at it and tried to DFU (hold the lock button for 5 seconds, then press the home button along with the lock button for 10 seconds, THEN, let off the lock button continuing til the 'connect to itunes' symbol.
They say that my phone has a bad memory module or logic board. Funny, it worked fine up until I updated. Seems to big of a coincidence to not be related.
The only thing that seemed to get access was using redsnow unlocking tool (my phone is NOT unlocked). I was desparate to try anything. I tried to load a different firmware but still no luck.
I have a blackberry through work that is paid for, so I guess its time to get rid of my iphone plan. -
I am trying to restore my iphone 5 from my iphone 4 and it wont restore texts. Both are on iOS6.0.1 but a message appears saying it is corrupt or not compatible with the iphone being restored
Can you create a new backup from the iPhone 4? If so, that would help, otherwise you won't be able to continue because it is identifying the backup as corrupt.

The title says it all. My phone simply will not respond to anything!!
did you let the update finish? You'll know when you see IOS 6 on the screen. If it did you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

You don't download it to your iphone.
It is for your computer, not your iphone.

Pls i was trying to update my iphone 3G to software version 4.2 using itune. The process did not complete succesfully. I then decided to restore back my restore my prevoius version 4.1, it stopped with an error code1015. Pls i need help
Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 and download iOS 4.2.1 for the iPhone 3G. Perform a restore, but hold down ALT when clicking restore. Restore from this file you just downloaded. You should not get 1015 as you are upgrading, but if you get a different error, report back.

I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work now.
I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work. I started the download and it said that it had 6 hours remaining, so i just left it overnight. The next morning it was working fine, but the ios 6 didn't download. I looked at it later and it had the turning on screen with the loading bar under it. It stayed like that for a while and the bar didn't move. I needed to use my phone so I tried to make it go to the home screen, but nothing happened. I held down the lock and home button for a few seconds and everything went black. I tried to turn it back on and all it has done all day is stayed on the turning on screen. I tried plugging it into the wall, and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to iTunes, and nothing happened. I don't know what I need to do to get it to work.
OMG is working OMG OMG OMG Thanks alot dude!
