IPhone 3GS first gives warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID! Restoring failes with error 1002!

My iPhone 3GS suddendly couldn't connect to the mobile provider's network. As I was in a rural place, I though this was because of bad coverage. It was then still possible to use Wi-Fi. After a while the phone asked to connect to itunes and gave the following warning: unknown IMEI and unknown ICCID.
I tried recovering it but procedures failes after hours with error 1002.
Is there a fix for this problem or do I need to go to a service center?

Thanks Carolyn, I've tried all the options, but still it does not finish the recovering process. It stops with still a half millimeter on the statusbar .
Will probably just have to go to a service center. I already read that more people have the same problem and no one found a solution. As I am abroad and my iPhone largely exceeded the warranty time, I wonder what they will charge.

  • Installing OS4 - restore fails with error message 1014 - 3GS unusable

    I tried to install OS4 on my 3GS iPhone. Process reported that a restore and update were required. The restore failed with error message 1014. This has rendered the phone unusable. Any help for me since Apple technicians from India weren't able to help.

    Anyone got this fixed, I also have the same problem. I got an error during update, then the iPhone went into Recovery Mode and iTunes says it has to be restored and updated, but the restore has taken over 15 hours know and Applecare told me to wait or come to an applestore... I'm on holiday in Europe and I have a 12 hour fligth in a few days back to the US...

  • Unknown imei and unknown iccid

    my iphone 4g 32 Gb after restore is showing emergency call no service and unknown imei, unknown iccid

    If you are stuck on the Emergency Call Screen and have not access to your iPhone, then first step is to Restore the Firmware again, and Set Up iPhone as New.
    If your iPhone is ON, then go to Settings App>Airplane Mode and toggle ON and OFF several times to see if you get reception bars, obviously leave it OFF.
    If still problem, Settings App>General>Reset near bottom>Reset Network Settings.
    If still problem, Restore Firmware and Set Up as New.
    If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem.

    FIRST disable your antivirus and firewall, that's a common cause of error 13. This is from Apple's troubleshooting tip:
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one of more of the steps listed below:
    +1. Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including a different USB port directly on the computer.+
    +2. Put a [powered] USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.+
    +3. Try a different USB 30-pin dock connector cable.+
    +4. Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.+
    +5. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your Registry. If your default packet size is set incorrectly it can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.+
    +6. Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.+
    +7. Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.+

  • ITunes Network Diags pass, but Restore fails with Error 3014 and recommended solutions risky and unhelpful

    We've had routine OS updates fail recently (weeks apart)
    on both an iPad mini and a 5th Gen iPod. The devices ended up in recovery mode
    and we had to Restore them to factory defaults.
    That is bad enough, but it gets worse...
    We started iTunes, plugged in the bricked device, and were
    prompted to do a Restore. Clicked OK. It ran for a while, completed the
    extraction step, and the failed with unknown error 3014.
    We searched support, and there is plenty written about
    unknown error 3014 when doing a Restore. Most point to network connectivity
    issues and things like blocked ports or conflicting security software. Sure, I
    can see how those could cause problems that may be outside Apple’s control
    (although doing everything over HTTPS would eliminate the issue.)
    BUT, iTunes has built in network diagnostics (Help ->
    Run Diagnostics… -> Network connectivity tests). Shouldn’t these tell me if
    there is a connectivity problem with iTunes? The support articles all seem to
    tell you to manually dive into all kinds of low level  things such as hosts files.
    iTunes network diagnostics all passed, but out of
    desperation, we still tried shutting off our anti-virus (Avast) and firewall
    (Comodo), connecting directly to the internet without our router blocking or
    filtering anything, editing the hosts file, trying a different PC, etc. as
    instructed. It was all a wild goose chase – nothing helped, and Apple’s
    instructions exposed us to security risks (attaching directly to the Internet
    with no router, firewall or ant-virus software!)
    I can’t be 100% sure because I still had our anti-virus
    SW and firewall turned off, but what seemed to finally work was to just try
    dozens of times until iTunes and Apple’s servers finally worked!
    After dozens of tries on two PCs over two days, the last
    thing I did was to turn off our anti-virus and firewall again, started iTunes,
    plugged in the device, attempted a Restore when prompted, retried when it
    failed. Then closed and reopened iTunes while leaving the device attached, and
    Restored when prompted. That one time, we got lucky and it worked. I’m sure
    many people really have blocked ports, etc. but I can’t see how that could explain
    our problems. Hopefully this posting will help someone.
    ** Apple – If you’re reading this ** Please (1) find out
    why we and others in the forums report persistent 3014 errors that seem to
    magically go away if you retry often enough over a long enough period of time,
    and (2) make sure the iTunes network diagnostics are truly thorough, and then
    direct customers to them rather than making them dig through port mapping
    settings and hosts files. Thanks for your consideration.

  • IPhone Restore Fails with Error

    Hi
    I am having iPhone4, I upgraded it from firmware 4.1 to 5.1. iTunes Successfully upgraded the firmware but fails to restore my data. I am lost with everything, no contacts, no applications, no emails.
    When I click on the Continue Restore button it immediately give error "An Error Occoured while restoring this iPhone (-50)"
    Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated, as i have lost v v v important business contacts.
    Regards

    The latest iOS upgrade is 5.1.1.
    For troubleshooting error (-50), follow this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error50
    iTunes usually makes a backup of all the information of your iPhone (excluding contacts) before updating the iOS. Restore your iPhone from the backup.
    Connect your iPhone to iTunes, right click on your phone's name and select "restore from backup".
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Contacts are not a part of backup (only some information is backed up to save your call list and favourites). Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Addressbook etc) or with a cloud service (iCloud, Yahoo, Google). Sync back the contacts from which ever programme you were syncing them with.

  • IPad2 update to iOS5 failed and restore fails with error code (6)

    I have updated my iTunes to version 10.5 (on Windows 7 32-bit). After that and creating a back up of my iPad, I started the update to iOS5.
    For some unclear reason it failed. The only option left was to do a restore.
    This restore process starts and I see a progress bar on the iPad.
    However iTunes comes up with an error message (translated from Dutch): "The iPad iPad cannot be restored. An unknown error code has occured (6)".
    Whatever I try my iPad only shows the iTunes Logo with the USB connector.
    Can anybody advice on how to I get my iPad running?
    Regards,
    Frans.

    Only after submitting my question other answers were shown. The error code to which 6 refers is shown on the next page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    In effect: I had to shutdown my Firewall! (How close do you have to be with a vendor).
    After the Firewall (ZoneAlarm) was shutdown, the restore worked. and it gave me iOS5

  • My AppleTV ver 2 recently stopped working and Restore fails with error 9, help!

    I have tried three different cables, two different computers, one Mac and one windows. Mac is primary and I have the latest OS and iTunes.  I have tried downloading the file and option clicking so I can navigate to the downloaded file. Obviously iTunes is seeing the Apple TV. Somewhere it was suggested that to try the Apple TV even though the computer showed and error on the restore and I did but tv only showed the iTunes symbol and a connection cable.
    I was going to make an appointment at the Tucson Applestore but there is no option for Apple TV for scheduling a Genius appointment.

    When it is connected via your microUSB cable to your computer with iTunes running,press the Menu and the Down buttons simultaneously until the light flashes on the ATV - this will put the ATV in DFU mode and will appear in iTunes - then go for a Restore.

    First use JPanel not Panel.
    Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
    JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
    panels=new Panel();
    panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
    panels=new JPanel();
    panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
    I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
    Where did you get the iPhone?

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.
