I am trying to restore software on my iPad which is connected to my PC with iTunes when i'm in recovery mode a warning comes up
"The iPad could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1604) This i have discovered probably a USB timing problem ?
I have followed all suggestions but still my iPad screen is locked with a iTunes logo and a USB cable beneath it, wish I had never bothered
to update it now. Any help would be appreciated. rgWhen I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

HT201210 The iPad could not be restored - An unknown error occures (-1)
Attempting to upate to iOS6 - update failed - messsage received was to restore the iPad - this process went as far as "restoring iPad firmware where it stopped and resulted in the message - "The iPad could not be restored - An unknown error occures (-1)" Went through all the recommended trouble shooting steops but the problem repeats each time.
Well, I did not think much about Hardware Error (1) becuase it had never happened to me. Well, over the weekend, I decided to upgrade my iPad 2 32gb Wifi-CDMA to iOS 7.0.6. I first attempted this OTA, not just once, but several times. The device would download the software, began the process, reboot and began to apply the update. It would reach about 60 percent and fail. After the failure, the iPad would recover and reload the current 7.0.4 iOS. It would then inform me I had an update. Each time, I would try to apply the update OTA. Each time, it would fail. So, I tried to complete the update via iTunes. Well, each time, the process would get to 60 percent and fail. iTunes would produce an error 3014 or error 1. Looking through the logs, the problem would fail loading the firmware, and more specifcally, isolated to the modem. I eventually tried so many times, I bricked my iPad. I had it in recorvery mode and could not get out of it. I read through all of the forums and the stories about driving to Apple stores, visiting the Genius Bars, calling Apple Support etc. They all resulted in the samething, a hardware error of some kind. Since I have taken hundreds of these iPads apart and repaired them, I figured that this one would get a new set of batteries and a logic board. But before I decided I would do that, I tried to update and restore using several different cables, tried a desktop computer, two windows laptops, and a macbook pro and a macbook air, of course all with the same result. So, knowing that iPads are built case down and that all of the connectors are either vertical or horizontal and that most of the horizontal connections are ribbons, I decided to try reseating all of the vertical connectors. Know, before you read on, I would like to add a disclaimer to not try this at home or even try it at all, but I will tell you, it worked.
I took the iPad and dropped it on floor 5 times. I left the iPad in it's case and droped it on a very tight nap throw rug on top of a hardwood floor. I dropped it from an elevation of about 3 to 4 feet. I was hoping that the shock would compress all of the vertical connectors and give everything else a bump too.
Nothing broke, especially not the display or digitizer. Once I picked up the iPad, I connected it directly to a computer, went to iTunes and clicked on the upgrade and restore option. The iPad loaded 7.0.6 without any issue. The iPad is running great and I have not had a problem out of it at all.
I do not recommend you do this to your iPad, but reseating all of the vertical connectors worked for me and I recovered an iPad that would have otherwise been bricked until it was disassembled and repaired. -
can anyone help me with this restoring problem ?
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore. -
i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured
"This error is 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.

Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

I'm having trouble with my Ipod- I tried to restore it but keep getting a message - the ipod could not be restored. an unknown error occurred(1413)
Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.
