HT201413 My iPhone turns off during the restore & comes up with error 1611 - help?

My iPhone kept telling me I needed to update to the new iOS 5 software for some of my apps to update. So I plugged it in and started the update. But then my phone kept turning itself on and off. I put it into recovery mode & then tried to restore it. But it goes through as if to start the restore ie. extracting software, preparing to restore etc - the little loading bar comes up under the apple logo on my phone but then my phone just turns off.
I really need my phone back & I can't afford to buy another one which was what an apple store suggested - they didn't even do anything different to what I'd tried! I've only got a few months of my contract left until I can upgrade and I can't upgrade early. Is there anything anyone can suggest to get my phone working?? PLEASE?!
Thanks x

This Error code is most often given when Apple cannot communicate with the iPhone. Make sure your iTunes is current and is up to date. Click the iTunes Tab at the top of this Web Page and get current iTunes. If still problem, make sure the computer Hosts file is not blocking Apple Servers. Try a different computer.

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode, as explained in this article?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If this does not work, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or by Apple:

    You may have a defective proximity sensor but try some basic troubleshooting first...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

    It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

    Seems like it's having either a RAM or Hard Drive issue. What happens if you reboot the Mac, open iMovie and then try to Share to iTunes again?

  • IPhone 4 turns off during factory restore

    My iPhone recently turned itself off for no reason. Since then, I've been trying to restore it with little success.
    I've repeatedly put the phone into recovery mode and attempted a factory restore, and this has only worked three times out of several dozen, due to the phone turning off in the middle of recovery.
    On the occasions where the restore worked, the iPhone functioned normally for several hours before turning itself off again and repeating the cycle.
    The phone (before successful recovery) will not turn on unless plugged in. When the phone isn't in recovery mode, the screen repeatedly displays the apple logo before turning itself off before displaying the apple logo again, so on so forth.
    In brief, factory restore only works very rarely and when it does the phone only works for a few hours before requiring another restore.

    Restore as new, without using a backup.  If this continues, there is certainly a hardware problem.

  • Iphone turned off during factory reset

    Apologies if this has been raised a million times before, i have tried to search for an answer..
    As the title says my phone turned off during a factory reset as the battery was obviously low. probably happened 1-2 minutes into it actually.
    Now it wont get past the apple logo screen. I have tried to reset the phone using the home + power key but nothing happens. it turns off then when i turn it back on it goes back to the apple logo screen, then will turn off.
    Ive plugged the phone into my laptop and that wont read it either.
    I hope i havent ruined the phone by it turning off during factory resetting ? Can anyone suggest anything to fix this problem ?
    thanks

    See if you force the phone into recovery mode:
    Turn off your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone to turn off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. After restoring from backup, you must sync to restore your iTunes content.

  • Trying to update ipad2 its now asking to restore i click the restone bottom but its comes up with error 4013 help

    trying to update ipad2 its now asking to restore i click the restone bottom but its comes up with error 4013 help

    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

  • Iphone turn off during phone call

    Hi, my iPhone 3GS (with iOS 5.0.1) turn off automatically during normal phone calls (i.e. without hands-free talking) after approx. 5 minutes. After a couple of minutes the iPhone come back to the normal "standby" situation, i.e. I can press the home button and unlock the iPhone to do everthing like normal (without any long phone calls). When I am using hands-free talking (like in the car) the iPhone is working as expected without any malfunction.
    This effect was shown up at each call (> 5 min.) since the update to iOS 5. By using of iOS 4 the iPhone has worked as expected.
    Who knows about this effect and possible solutions to fix it?
    Kind regards, Frank

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

  • While syncing last time the computer turned off during the process and now when I try to get ont oitunes the phone is read only as a camera device and I cant  sync my phone.  I have tried re installing itunes and have turned every thing off and on. Help!!

    While syncing my Iphone the computer turned off and now Itunes doesnt read the connection. A message appears that I have plugged in my camera on my pc.I have gone through turning every thing off and on and re installing Itunes but still no luck. Any suggestions?

    If iTunes cannot see your iPhone.
    First, try soft-resetting your iPhone.  Press and hold sleep/wake and home button, ignore the slide bar - keep pressing.
    When you see the Apple logon, let go.  When the phone has restarted, plug into PC. Will iTunes see iPhone now?
    If not, you'll have to do a DFU restore - please note that this will wipe everything on your iPhone. If you have a recent backup (iTunes does this by default), then you're in luck and you can restore everything back.
    If not, then...hmm well... Oh bum.  Maybe you have an iCloud backup? I haven't tried this so I can't comment.

  • My Ipod Touch (v 4.2.1) wont connect to the itunes store when i try to download or update something, and when i try to connect on say my facebook app it comes up with error -1202. help?

    I can connect on my computer to the itunes store and it has nothing to do with my wifi! help?

    I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
    iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
    iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
    4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
    Hope this helps
