HT201210 unknown error 1015 ?

restore error , on trying to restore a iphone im getting restore error 1015

This is usually caused by the iPhone being hacked/jailbroken and if so, the iPhone is likely bricked now as a result.

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not 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 are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Itunes unknown error 1015 when upgrading to latest ios

I have an iphone 3gs (32gb) and I tried to upgrade to ios 4.3.2 but upgrade failed and phone switched to recovery mode.
I haven't been able to restore after trying out all the options from apple's website and the error msg: unknown error 1015 keeps showing up. pls any suggestions??

Hi blessingfrombedford,
Has the iPhone been jailbroken at any point or have you had any developer software on the handset? If so then this could be the cause of the issue.
You can try to remove the IPSW file from the computer (or try a known working PC & Network / Create a new user account on the computer and do it in there as it will re-download the IPSW file) and attempt to restore the device again.
Ensure that you've tried this (it's covered in the link) and the other steps in the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
If the iPhone is still refusing to restore then you're probably best to try and visit a Genius at a local Apple Store (if you have one).
Hope this helps.

Hi! I'm trying to restore an iphone 3g but an unknown error 1015 keeps appearing, what does this mean? Or how can I overvome it?

It means you likely hacked/jailbroke your iPhone and now it's a brick.

I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak. After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak. After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help! I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.

You either have jailbroken your iphone?, or you are trying to downgrade your ios?, either one is not supported by apple.

TS3694 iphone could not be restored. an unknown error 1015 has occured.. what to do now??

My iphone could not be restored. it shows that an unknown error has occured (1015). How to restore my iphone from a recovery mode?

If you're getting an error 1015 then either it's jailbroken or the computer you're using was used to jailbreak or attempt to jailbreak an iOS device.
If you are NOT getting error 1015, then you are NOT having the "exact same problem".

Error 1015 might happen after making unauthorized modifications to iOS, also called "jailbreaking."

IPhone 3Gs stuck in restore mode. Unknown error 1015

Error: "iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1015)".
I'm in Tanzania and was trying to jail break my phone with one of those online download programs that say they can break any iPhone. 100% guaranteed! Well, my phone is now locked up in 'need of restore' through iTunes. BUT, it won't restore. The error 1015 keeps returning at the end of the restore process. I'm up to date on iTunes and iPhone software. Can anyone help me? I'm stuck here in Africa with an 11 hour time shift from Apple tech support.

1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
network database was corrupted during the process.

TS3694 I cannot restore my IPhone 3G, I have done all the steps recommended (unknown error (1015)) and nothing happens, it's frozen

I have done each and everyone of the steps (advanced and basic) recommended by Apple. Unfortunately, now i cannot even use my IPhone because it seems to not respond. I have turn it off, reset it with the home and main buttom pressed simultaneously. Restore it again and the same error ( unknown error occurred and your IPhone could not be restored). Please, let me know what should i do to at least use my cellphone again. Thanks.

Use recovery mode to restore your device
Related errors: 1015, “The required resource can't be found.”
You might see these error messages if your device has a beta version of iOS or if you're installing an older version of iOS (downgrading). Use recovery mode to restore your device to the latest version of iOS.
