HT201263 I cannot restore iPhone 3GS with iTunes

I cannot restore my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. I am using Windows 7. Can anyone help me. I wont even boot. I previously jailbroke it. So i need help. I try restore. iPhone cannot restore. I try .ipsw file. Cannot restore because the firmware file is corrupted.

Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any warranty with Apple, but also forfeits your ability to receive any assistance, including from this forum.
Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance.  I know, why don't you start with the lovely people who helped you jailbreak your phone to begin with?

  • Cannot sync iphone 3gs with itunes 10.3

    Iphone will not sync with itunes because itunes freezes everytime the phone is plugged into computer. I have windows 7 32 bit machine. I have also tried on macbook pro 10.3 itunes and it crashes as well. I cannot restore my phone because itunes freezes. It deleted all my music from my phone, however it still lists that the music is still on the phone. I have a iphone 3gs 4.3.2, cannot download and install 4.3.3 due to itunes freezing.

    I can't sync with iTunes too. My 3GS was updated to 4.3.3 (8J2) by the local Mac store yesterday after a failed attempt to update from 4.1 using iTunes version 10.3.1. All apps, photos, contacts, etc was wiped.
    Because I can't see my iPhone in iTunes I can't restore it. I've tried restarting the PC, and trying different USB ports to no avail.

  • ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1

    ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1
    I just upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1 and although my music, podcast and apps sync with my iPhone 3GS (Version 4.1), iCal and Address Book doesn't! I get the following error messages:
    After clicking OK, another dialog box appears that states:
    Also, iSync has this to say:
    Until the upgrade, I had no problems syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes!
    How can I correct this new issue?
    Thank you very much in advance,

  • How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??

    How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??

    The only advice we can give is to try and put it into DFU mode and restore. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new phone.
    There is a reason that Jailbreaking isn't supported. You have just been kicked in the donkey by it.

  • Unable to restore iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (error 1013)

    I recently updated my 16GB iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4 (iPhone2,14.0_8A293Restore.ipsw) using iTunes 9.2 - it worked fine for a few days then all of a sudden I got a pop up message saying "you are unable to make or receive calls, please connect to iTunes". I did so and restored the firmware, it went through the whole cycle, unpacked, installed, verified and when it was about to be completed I got the following error from iTunes:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)"
    The phone remained in restore mode (iTunes icon and USB cable). I tried restoring again with the same result. I then deleted the firmware file, rebooted and reinstalled (same error). I then deleted a reinstalled iTunes (no dice). I tried alternative USB ports and cables and also tried on 2 other computers and tried all this in DFU mode too yet nothing has worked.
    I would also like to point out that it is an original O2 phone with O2 chi[p that has *never been jailbroken*. Any ideas as to whats wrong? Or what I can do? Thanks in advance for you help!

    OK, so nothing else was working so I took my phone into the Genius bar and explained what had happened. The Genius said He was unsure what error 1013 was so he looked it up and explained "It's an error related to the baseband and that more than likely the phone was unable to communicate with Apple servers as Apple had the phone marked as non existent"
    He continued to explain that there was a fix he could do but would be quicker and easier to replace my phone. He did so and I left happy.
    I recomend you just take your phones in if you are having this same issue!

  • Sync iPhone 3GS with iTune

    I just bought iMac late 2012. I'm new to OS X. I have my iphone 3gs sync with itune on windows version. When i try to sync with my imac, itune want to delete
    everything on my phone. I try to search solution on internet but all answers based on the old version itune base on window os. Can i restore my phone while keeping my data on the phone?
    Thanks for the answers.

    When i try to sync with my imac, itune want to delete
    everything on my phone."
    Correct.  that is how it works.  Iphone will sync with one comptuer at a time.  Syncing to another does indeed erase the current content.
    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer,  to the new one, then sync.

  • How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 21

    I have an Iphone 3GS. I replaced the battery and digitizer. When I plug in to Itunes the Iphone wants to "restore", but I recieve an error code 21, and it will not "restore.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Peter

    Peter,
    In the past, I have had some devices show that error but I was able to simply hard reset the device and it booted fine. 
    Was the phone jailbroken before?  Also, I would make sure you are attempting the restore in DFU mode versus Recovery mode.  It sounds like it is having a conflict with the baseband which is why the device is not allowing itself to boot.  You might also try using TinyUmbrella to fix recovery. 
    If you continue having issues, let me know.  Also let me know if you are using PC or Mac and which OS you are running. 
    Let me know how it goes!  If it doesn't work I may have a few other tricks up my sleeve.

  • Can I sync my iPhone 3GS with iTunes on two separate computers?

    I have a PC desktop with iTunes set up and have already done a sync with my iPhone 3GS (IOS 4.2.1).  I recently acquired a PC laptop (Windows 7).  Is there a way I can sync the content (contacts, calendar, photos - no tunes) with iTunes on the new laptop (while maintaining the iTunes on the desktop)?

    Yes, you can do this, but be sure to uncheck iTunes content syncing on the other computer. Each sync item can be synced with only one computer.

  • Pb synchronising applications iPhone 3GS with iTune 11

    Hi,
    All is in the Title !
    I'm french (sorry for the approximative language)
    I want to change the operator for my phone, which I "unsimlocked" recently, but this has no matter with my problem I think.
    But this operation needed to clear my iPhone and after "unsimlockage", load the last saved version. After this, some apps where absent on the phone....
    I think that the problem comes from the new version of iTune which I loaded recently. So :
    When I clear an app on my Phone and synchronise, iTune understands : the button "suppr" for the app concerned becomes "install"
    BUT, if I want to start a synchro, when I put on a button "install" (towards an app in the computer but not in the phone), which is becoming "will be installed", I launch the "synchronisation", but at the end of it appears the message "choosing the apps to be synchronised" (in french) and shortly "end, you can remove your device"....but nothing is added on my phone !
    My apps are on an extern disc but I gave the way to the last version of iTune I had and it worked very well until today !!!!
    But with the 11-version, despise of the shown way, iTune doesn't understand anything...
    Last point, the upgrade of iOS of my phone fails every time I try it when iTune is proposing it to me...
    Thank you for answering.

    Here's the requirements for the iPhone 3GS.
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 9.2 or later
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    You should, before buying, read the requirements for new Apple devices to see if your Mac meets the requirements.
    BTW - Don't type your posts in all capitals. It's considered shouting.

  • Can't restore iPhone 5 with iTunes error 3. and my iPad3 and iPhone 5s can't login to Game Center

    Hi. This is the first time since I knew apple devices..
    I own - iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1
              - iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPhone 5 "out of service"
              - iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
              - iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4
    Ever since I own my first iPhone 4 I never face unresolved problem like the 2 I'll mention.
    1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
    I did restore and update to iOS 7.0.4 but at the restore takes at the last 1% in the last moment of restore it will take loooong time then gave me error 3. And now for more than a month the iPhone stuck with recovery logo. Almost I tried every trick in the book . Change USB cable, port, PC. PC with other OS . Even freezing the iPhone as I read here noooooo result the same happened again and again.
    2- when I update my iPad3 to 7.0.1 everything went normal till one day ago suddenly I found my account logged out of the Game Center by its self and when I wanted to log again it will gave me error of can't connect to server or cocoa error??? Strange thing I can use other account to log in but mine No. Only my account is forbidden in my device while any other account I can login normally. Also my account and Game Center working without any problem in all other devices.
    I also tried every trick , change my ID then password then the whole ID domin nothing works. I restart normally then by pressing power/home. I logged off my self from all other devices and tried but also no hope.
    So - my account has no problem working with any other device
         - My iPad had no problem with other accounts in Game Center except me. While the same account had no problem with iCloud or email in the same iPad.
    I don't and I will not DO restore since it is bizarre problem and I already faced same problem in my iPhone 5s when I restore old backup to iOS 7.0.4 and was the only solution is to set up as NEW iPhone
    I saw similar problem but no difinite answer from Apple itself and this is strang but always I was loyal customer and already convinced about 8 of my friends to use iPhone during last 3 years and I expect apple to be loyal to me in the first time I am seeking there actuate direct advice.

    "1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
