I can't restore my iphone 5 after the filmware error (3)

it was in recovery mode and i'm trying to update the software to ios 7.1.2

If you continue to get the error 3, you can search here and find an extensive thread that makes some recommendations on how to try and fix this, however most will tell you this is a hardware error and you will need to replace the device.

    Your only hope is to place your phone in to DFU mode and restore it using iTunes (if iTunes allows you to).
    Search in Google "Force iPhone in to DFU mode" and follow the instructions precisely.

    I can't restore my iPhone 4S the iPhone "  " could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build. What I have to do?

    You can also take a look at this information from this support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • TS3694 i can't restore my iphone 4..keep error 3194 can anyone help me out?

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore.
    If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore.
    If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above.
    If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

    can't restore my iphone 4, it said error number 2, please helppp !!

    Hi AlessDXB,
    This article contains information on restore error 2:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error2
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.
    Take care,
    - Ari

    You don't have the latest version of iTunes
    Your phone has been hacked or jailbroken in the past

  • Can't restore my iphone after failed update.

    I just updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 7.0.3, it worked for a few hours then put itself into recovery mode. I tried to restore it through iTunes, and it says that I have to restore and update my iPhone. I did that and now it is saying that it cannot restore my iphone due to error 21. I've changed USB ports, and even tried restoring it on another computer. But it is still stuck in recovery mode. And can't do anything, my Itunes is up to date, so is my computer. And i have no firewall up at the moment to stop it. How do i fix this?

  • Can i restore my iPhone without the SIM card?

    HELLO! I have a new issue.
    I updated my carrier plan. It started in April 2012 and finished in April 2014. I got an iPhone 5S in that transaction, but my old iPhone 3GS works yet.
    I want restore it to delete ALL DATA (it's so slow), but i'm not secure, usually the iPhones require a SIM Card to activate the phone. Really, it have a SIM Card, but isn't working, the carrier deactivated it and ever says: "No Service".
    Should i restore it by iTunes to iOS 6.1.6?
    Thank you!

    Your iPhone just needs to have a SIM in it in order for the restore to complete - the SIM does not need to be active. As long as it's present in the phone, the restore should complete unless there's another issue with the phone

  • How can I restore my iphone 4s to a previous backup I can see in the backup folder?

    Ok, here's a question for the restore/ backup pros. 
    On 1/4/14 I thought I would back up my iPhone 4s because it had been over a year (yeah, I know not a good idea to wait so long) since I had last backed it up (8/13/12, to be exact).  So, when I connected it to my computer, iTunes recommended I update the iTunes software.  So, I did.  Somewhere in the middle of the update I noticed that my iPhone kinda "rebooted" and I saw what a friend of mine referred to as the "restore iPhone" image on it.
    Then, I received an error message from iTunes saying that there was a problem with my iPhone & that I would have to restore it to factory settings.  WTH!!!!
    I went ahead and befored the restore.  Oddly enough, I seemed to get all my data back.  Heck, I even got emails & contacts that I added minutes before I tried to back it up.  I thought I had dodged a bullet & then I started to notice Apps that were missing & other Apps that I had deleted long ago back on the iPhone.
    Then, other anomolies surfaced, like photos missing, contacts missing, & worst of all the App that I used to store some really preceious pictures, photo vault, was also gone (and all my most precious pictures).  Those pics were not in my camera roll any longer as I had moved them to this App.
    Okay, I studied all I could on the net & learned where the backup files are stored on my computer and huh, it looks likes it took a back up right before (during?) the iTunes update that caused all this mess.  The problem is, iTunes doesn't show this backup as one I can select when trying to restore it.
    My Question is, "How can I restore my iPhone to the backup dated 1/4/14 that I can clearly see in the backup folder?"
    Many thanks,  psmcpher

    oops.  typo:  "I went ahead and befored the restore."  should be... I went ahead and performed the restore.
