Iphone 3gs could not be restored Error 1, iphone 3gs could not be restored Error 1
I got an iphone 3gs as a replacement for my old one when i was in US when it was working just fine, HOwever, when i flew over to Nepal and wanted to use the iphone, it was stuck in the apple logo and would not start. It would just turn off and show the apple logo cycle. So, I tried to restore it by connecting it my laptop which i had a hard time with. finally got it do dfu mode and restore it but gave me 3194. After that i went on youtube to get past the 3194 error which i did. But at the very end of the restoration process( where the bar is full under the apple logo) i had to wait for about 5 to 10 mins and gave me error 1. I have tried it about 20 times but no luck.
Is there anyone who had the same problem? I went to an authorized apple service center who told me that the warranty valid in US is not valid in Nepal.
It seems as though your phone has been tampered with beyond what Apple would support. The error messag appears when an iPhone has been downgraded or jailbroken. Unfortunately, this voids the warranty with Apple and they are unable to provide technical support.
I'd recommend taking a look at these support resources for people with similar problems:

My iPhone 3GS 16gb, is stuck in restore mode, downloaded and tried to do a restore multiple times. Keep getting an error The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Cannot get it out of restore mode, keeps rebooting!
I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
I have tried powering it off
I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice. -
I was updating my iPhone 3GS, left it overnight and woke up to find that there was an error and my IPhone could not be restored. What can I do to make my phone work again? Have I lost all the data?
If your phone is in recovery mode, all data are gone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and restore.

Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1. I reserached this error and it said to make sure I have the latest version of iTunes, i do, To make sure i have a security software updated, i do, and ive done everything it tells me to do yet it wont let me restore my iphone. Before I tried restoring it, it was working perfectly fine besides the battery which i have just replaced yesterday. Ive tried restoring it in two different computers with two different cables but still no luck. I found this phone at a park and it was working perfectly fine until i tried restoring it. I have no idea what to do now. I appreciate your guyses help!
This error generally indicates a hardware failure. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue. -

Help - Unknown Error 2006 "iPhone could not be restored"
Hi there - has anyone else been plagued with this? I tried to sync my iPhone 3G (less than a year old) and it wouldn't sync. I tried to restore it and it went partially through the process and bailed returning an error. I went to the discussion boards who recommended (not necessarily in this order) rebooting, using a different USB cable, a different computer, reinstalling iTunes, turning off Little Snitch, turning off Firewall, using an on-board USB port. Absolutely NOTHING worked and my phone is bricked. Now, despite everything all I get is "iPhone" could not be restored An unknown error occured (2006).
Can anyone help?Close iTunes and unplug iphone
Search web and download the 2.2.1 ipsw file.
Go to device manager on PC and delete the USB option for Apple under the hardware options.
Reboot PC
Plug in iphone and wait for dreaded connection picture
hold power button and home button until apple logo appears
continue to hold home button and release power button until connection picture appears again
Your PC should now find the iphone in recovery mode
Now open iTunes and it will prompt you to restore
Hold the shift button on the keyboard and click the restore button at the same time
This will allow you to browse for the correct ipsw file
select the 2.2.1 file that you downloaded
your iphone will now restore
Once completed, you will need to resync
Now you are back to square one but at least have a phone that works
Now make an appt at the Genius Bar and make them update it for you
Mine is scheduled for next week -
I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.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 -
I have unlocked my iphone and when tried to upgrade it, i got an error, so i restored it.But i was not able to activate my iphone 3gs now...it is showing a message like ' sim card not found'..please help me with this regard

Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!

My Ipnoe 3gs said it had updates when connected to my laptop, so Ihave let it back up then clicked update. It would not update and said it had an unknown error. Now it is trying to restore but it has been plugged in restoring for over an hour and nothing seems to be happening. Can anyone help?? Please,
Try putting it in recovery mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you can't put it in to recovery mode, try using DFU mode (which is basically recovery mode with iPhones having more serious issues):
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If it does go in to recovery mode but you are still having this issue when restoring it, try it on a different computer.
It is good that you let it back up. After it restores to factory settings, you can then use itunes to restore it from the backup and get your goodies back:

Best of luck! -
I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.
