    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.
    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
    to your local Carrier may have rendered the iPhone unable to be
    officially unlocked.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    I tried updating my ipod from iOS 4 to iOS 5 but after it restored and i tried configuring it i receive an unable to activate message?

    Well that is likely to be your problem. After the upgrade the phone locked to the orginal carrier.  You will need to find out who that was and either use a compatible SIM from that carrier or have that carrier offically unlock the phone

    Hi there besiburuk,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    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.
    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 checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • HT4972 Can I update iPod touch from ios 4.2.1 to latest SW version?

    iTunes show "this version of the iPod software (4.2.1)is the  current version". Is that mean Ipod touch can't update iOS to higher version?

    On that iPod touch model, yes.

  • HT4972 Can't update iPad 2 from iOS 4 to iOS 6. Also, can't exit "safe mode"

    I have an iPad 2 and I'm still running iOS 4. My iPad is currently in "safe mode" and I have no idea how to fix this. Therefore, when I connect to iTunes, it's not letting me update my iOS version when I'm prompted to update. I try to wipe my iPad and do a reset but the status bar just stays empty for hours and in the end, no results.
    Also, there are some apps that my son installed(I was unaware) that are not removable, could this have anything to do with my problems.
    Please help!!!
