HT201210 unable to restore 3gs, error code -1 comes up at end of firmware restore

I am trying to restore my Iphone 3gs, unfortunately when the restore reaches the end of firmware restore it seems to pause for a minute, i then get a message telling me that anunknown error has occured, error code (-1). i cant seem to find out what this error code means, I have put phone into DFU mode and restored again and again but always the same result. HELP

Do a search for error 1 at the top of the forum, this subject has been brought up numerous time in numerous threads. Look for the green check mark.

Apple iphone restore 3GS error code (-1)

Hi,
I have an Iphone 3gs on contract with network 3. I passed my phone to a friend as he said he will update it and install some apps for me, now he has given it to me back and said it isn't working.
I dont know exactly what he has done but I have read up on google about entering DFU mode and doing a factory restore, but when it gets to the very end I get error code (-1) unknown error?
Can anyone help me out and put a guess/finger on what he has possibly done and what I could do to resolve the matter???
Thanks

So are you telling me the phone is now useless? and by modifying I presume you mean jailbreak?
i have only had the phone for 3 months on a 24month contract! I think serious words are in order
I respect the fact thats this is an official messageboard and that terms and conditions apply etc but any pointers would be appreciated? at least to get the phone back to factory settings maybe? I have read somehwere about being able to restore the phone if its to the latest legit IOS version?
is this true? if so I know I can continue a search to sort it, but dont want to waste precious hours on a waste journey
Thanks for your reply btw Ingo2711

Cannot Restore iPad2 - Error Code 3173?

Never had an issue with an Apple product before.
Windows 7 Home Premium
iTunes 10.5.0.142
iPad 4.3.5
Attempted to update iPad software to 5.0 and got the error code "cannot restore iPad - error code 3173"
Freaked out and disconnected the iPad and it seems fine, no data/information loss and it DID NOT update as it is still running version 4.3.5.
No other external USB ports in use, never had an issue updating previously.
Thoughts/ideas/fix? Seems like a lot of people are posting asking for help with this but I don't see a fix anywhere.

Good idea. I wish I had waited. My iPad2 will not Restore so it is hammered. My iPhone 3Gs is updating now so we'll see. But this is definately an Appple problem as all 5 devices at our house had one issue or another. My iPad2 fails with the unrelated error 1162. The USB driver does not install. For my iPhone 3Gs, the USB driver installed and the update is nearly complete. Oh, it's backing up now. I'll just have to see if it works but it is going much better than our iPads. The iPads seem to be the big issue.

I tried to charge my iPod Touch 5th generation but it died while charging and it was tuning and it said i had to connect to iTunes so i did and i had to restore it to use it and while restoring an error code (9) appered and i can't use it. Plz help

                                       Zac

HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e

I bought a nice Solid State drive. Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade my system to new hard drive. It fails every time with HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e. This is after removing everything... graphics card, ram, cd drive... nothing is plugged in except the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
Windows 8 strikes again. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to actually use the recovery disks to reinstall windows 8 onto a new solid state drive. I hate this computer and wish I would have never bought it actually. It's been nothing but crap from day one.

It's the HP 500-023w desktop. I ended up just buying a Winodws 8.1 OEM disk and installing that on the SSD. The recovery tool is a bit useless. Reading through various forum posts it seems I would have ended up spending hours trying to figure it out or else buying the recovery disks from HP. Just paying $89 for an OEM disk is a good deal by comparison since at the very least the computer has no bloatware on it now.
What a hugely unnecessary hassle really. Now if only I could get this heap of junk to boot with a PCI-e graphics card installed I might actually be able to use it with two monitors. Good grief.

Unable to empty trash error code 8003 appears ?

I had the same problem - tried all sorts but nothing worked. Eventually I used a tool called Trash It! which did the job (though apparently it is only to be used as a last resort).

HT4623 will not restore getting error code 3194?,

cannot restore getting error code 3194, any advice

Actually usually it happens when itunes is not up to date or not compatible with that iOS.
michaelamoore11 - If you are trying to restore and you had iOS 7 on it, make sure that your itunes is up to date with 11.1 or you will get that message. Once you update, then you can restore

I uninstalled and reinstalled but at the end of installation there were erros. See attached screen shot. I now cannot open the application. error code 10810 comes up when I try to open.

I could not update photoshop CS6 and Jeff from forum advised unistalling and reinstalling (Tk93580659). Mac OSX. In real trouble, as suggested I uninstalled and reinstalled but at the end of installation there were errors. See attached screen shot. Now I cannot open the application. Error code 10810 comes up when I try to open (see 2nd screenshot). Please help. I have now lost photoshop altogether whereas previous at least I still could use it but could not update. Thank you for any help to instal successfully. Dr Koh

Still looking for a solution to specific installation errors (see screeshot) referring to "Language Pack installation failure":
ERROR: DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:
ERROR: DW050: - Adobe Photoshop CS6 Core: Failed due to Language Pack installation failure
ERROR: DW050: - Adobe Photoshop CS6 International English Language Pack_AdobePhotoshop13-en_GB: Install failed
Unfortunately previous advice of using CCS cleaner tool, and suggestions from links for 1) "exit code 6 and 7" and 2) "Troubleshoot instal logs" did not work at all. So I am desparate to fix this because I have spent a lot of money purchasing Photoshop CS6 but have no functioning program. Surely Adobe can help solve this problem with installing, or else it means a lot of money spent on Photoshop CS6 for nothing. I am appealing directly to Adobe to help because I have come to the end of my options. I thank the forum for their suggestions but so far the solution for this specific "Language Pack installation failure" problem is missing. Thank you.

I want to set up home sharing on a laptop but it won't let me. Error code (-3252) comes up. Please help.

I want to set up home sharing on a laptop (nothing on this iTunes library apart from the purchases from the iTunes store made on my ipod touch) but it won't let me. Error code (-3252) comes up. Please help.

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
