I need to restore an iphone 4 to 7.0.6 not the current 7.1

I need to restore an passcode locked CMDA iPhone 4 to 7.0.6 not the current 7.1. This is due to a mobile management application that our company uses that has not been verified to work with 7.1 yet. This iPhone is current on 5.1.0. I am trying to do the restore via iTunes and am using an old ipsw file for 7.0.6 but I keep getting the 3194 error when it tries to restore. I have tried all the "hosts" fil e suggestions but keep getting the same result. Is it no longer possible to restore an iPhone to an older version of iOS, even only one upgrade back??

Sorry, but it will only install the latest version (7.1).

  • I forgot my passcode. and i need to restore my iphone 4 in order to reset the passcode. But I haven't backed up to icloud recently and REALLY cant lose my 1000  photos, contacts, ect. How to i backup before having to reset every thing?

    You can't.  If there was a way to get into the phone and backup data without a passcode, what would be the purpose of the passcode?
    Either think harder, or prepare to lose all your data. 

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone 4 when it does not have current IOS and i have forgotten passcode.  Not showing in itunes but has connect to itunes logo on screen???

    I previously had an iPhone 4 which has since been put away in a drawer now that I have an iPhone 5.  I would like to give my iphone 4 to someone else to use but could not remember my passcode - have tried a few times (I believe I have one more try before it gets disabled - so I have stopped trying).  Read somewhere that you can just restore your phone which works for me as I wanted to clear it anyway.  When I connect my phone to itunes and clicked on restore it said update and restore which I clicked on and left it to do its work.  However, a while later an error code popped up saying that it could not update or back up the phone as the phone was locked .  Now my phone just has the itunes logo on it but when I connect the phone to the computer and I manually open itunes, my phone is not recognised. 
    What can I do?  Please help!!!

    You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
    To put your iPod/iPhone  into recovery mode:
    1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
    2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
    3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
    4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
    5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
    After that you should be up and running in no time!
    I hope that this is helpful.

    Restore it using the computer it normally syncs with, this should not require an iOS update.

    I need to restore my iPhone.  Once in iTunes, I get an error message asking me to use my passowrd to unlock phone. The problem is that I can't get to the password lock screen. All I can get is the iTunes screen or the emergency call only screen.

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

    You rely on it but not enough to create and maintian a backup?
    Have you set up iCloud? Set it up and then you can restore the iPhone and reload with iCloud.
    -> http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    This will backup your iPhone as well as allow you to maintain contacts and calendar items (and others) in the cloud without a computer.
    You can access then via a computer (www.icloud.com) and/or have them sync to a computer also..

  • Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings?

    Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?

    Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
    If not, you have nothing to worry about.
    Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account.

  • HT1414 What password do u need to restore your iphone

    Why don't you contact Apple and find out?  Certainly if you can find your way around the internet to have been able to find this forum, you can certainly find the number for AppleCare.

  • HT1766 I need to restore my iphone 4.  Will I lose my pictures if I restore from backup?

    I need to restore my iphone 4.  Will I lose my pictures if I restore from backup?

    Possible if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data with no way to know this in advance.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

  • I need to restore my iPhone 5 but an update I already have appears.

    I need to restore my iPhone 5 but when I click on restore, an update to iOS 6.1.4 appears and my phone is already at the latest iOS update. I have limited internet usage and trying to update to an update I already have installed will make me go over my usage as the update is almost 1000mb.

    Go to a friend's house and use their wifi, which will not
    be charged to your wireless usage. Or a coffee shop. Or
    someplace else with publicly available wifi.

  • Please help - need to restore my iPhone

    When plugging my iPhone into computer for the first time, I accidentally restored my iPhone with my fiance's for the backup. I freaked out and unplugged it halfway through the restoration. Now I have half of his settings/apps/contact info. and half of mine. I lost a lot of important contacts and notes. Please help - how do I restore my phone back to MY settings?

    Ekk, if you told it to restore his backup it would more than likely replace your information with his... Since this is your first time syncing your phone it likely hadn't made a backup of your device. You can check by opening iTunes, go to "Edit", "Preferences", click the "Devices" tab and see what's in there for backups.
    If there is nothing in there for you phone, there isn't really many other options to get those contacts back unless they are still on your computer or old phone somewhere.
    Out of suggestions you can do a few things to prevent this happening in the future, like setting up a seperate user account in Mac OS X/ Windows and syncing there or setting up some kind of automated sync like Goggle sync http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252  or Apple iCloud which will come out later this year.
    Sorry to hear, hope you have another copy around.

  • I need to restore my 3Gs to a previous date not reported on the scroll menu : how can I do it ?

    I need to restore my iPhone 3GS to e previous date than that reported on the scroll menu : how can i do that ?
    I lost all my contacts because , due to a my mistake , I sincronized iPhone with the empty Outlook inside of my Windows cmptr .
    Is there any chance available ?
    Thanks : db

    No.
    If there is no backup available for that date, then there is nothing you can do.
    Your contacts should be on your computer in whatver contact program you use.

    There are two ways that a backup can become encrypted:
    You chose to encrypt it, then forgot the password.
    If you have company-provided MS Exchange access your IT department has the option of requiring your backup to be encrypted. The first time you backed up or synced after installing MS Exchange you were prompted for a password. That is the password you need.
    If you don't have the password any longer there is no way to restore the backup.
