IPhone 3GS not starting, restore error 2001

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest firmware, and I've just upgraded to iTunes 11. I was plugging the iPhone to backup on the iTunes 11 when the iPhone blacked out and refuse to start. The battery life is at 100%.
I tried restoring in DFU mode but keeps giving me the error 2001. I tried restarting my Mac and iTunes, still no luck.
I plugged in an external battery pack, and the Apple logo comes up, it backs up the phone until the Home screen, then crashes again and restarts with the Apple logo. It repeats until I remove the external battery pack. At any point when I remove the battery pack, it stops working.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart

  • The iphone could not be restored error 23

    **Hello to all I have a iPhone 3gs 3.1.3 Suddenly went Network and i Switched off the devices and turn it on again prepared But not open network and mark appears cable & iTunes And worked restor but an error message appears the iphone could not be restored 23 .**
    **The iPhone still does not function with the flag whenever two devices the same problem .**
    **Please help**
    *thankss*

    Error 23 is generally a hardware failure. If under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store or contact whoever handles warranty & support where you live. If out of warranty, google third party repair shops in your area. You will not be able to restore with a hardware failure. To confirm, try restoring on a known good computer, if you get the same error message, you have a hardware failure.

  • My iphone 4s not be restored error -1 ????

    my iphone not be restored error -1 ????

    Service on the iPhone in Morocco is provided by Meditel, not Apple.  You'll need to deal with Meditel.  This is assuming the phone was first sold new in Morocco.  If not, it will need to be returned to the original country where it was intended to be sold new.

  • Iphone can not be restored. error code 23????

    my stupid partner decided to attempt to change the earpiece on his iphone himself. Problem being that he didnt take the SIM out before he took out the battery. He is also quite heavy handed so got a feeling he may have broke something inside.
    His iphone now wont switch on. When connected to itunes it has not got a summary for his phone and immediately says restore.
    However, when restore is selected there is a warning stating "iPhone can not be restored. Error code 23"
    Anyone got any ideas. I personally think he has broken something inside. I definitely think iPhone repairs should be left to the professional!!!!!

  • IPhone 3GS won't restore (error 1600 or "not eligible for this build") no apple logo, recognised in DFU mode.

    My iPhone 3GS decided to turn itself off (on 30% battery) yesterday and hasn't turned on since. After some testing (hard resets, DFU mode), tiny umbrella recognises it in DFU mode, as does Redsn0w. neither devices can successfully kick the phone out of the restore loop.
    The screen stays blank throughout, no apple logo, connect to itunes logo etc. however every now and then the charging sign will appear (empty battery with a little bit filled (red)). even if i unplug it from my iMac the charging symbol stays there.
    once I get the phone in DFU mode iTunes recognises that there is a phone connected that needs to be restored, it doesn't matter if I click restore or option + restore the process will fail on Error 1600 or "this device is not eligible for this build".
    My iPhone is not unlocked or jailbroken. Before the incident with the coffee I managed to synchronize and update its firmware as indicated by iTunes. The latest update for my iPhone was iOS 5 firmware.  My intent is not to unlock or jailbrake the device, just to make it work again.
    Here are some things I've tried since:
    1. Exiting recovery mode via Tinyumbrella
    2. Entering DFU mode via Redsn0w
    3. Shift + Restore and using firmwares from 5.0 to 5.0.1 to upgrade my iPhone.
    4. Remove hosts to my Host file (in relation to the "device not eligible for this build" issue)
    5. Try redsn0w and use IPSW to see if it is recognized by iTunes (iTunes recognizes the iPhone but then at the very last minute shows error 1600.
    6. Save SHSH files and use Tinyumbrella to uploaded them to my iPhone.
    I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. I might be doing something wrong or maybe not even considering the right steps to solve this issue. I don't know if there are missing drivers that are preventing the device from communicating with iTunes properly. Of some tool that can be used to correct this problem. It may or may not be fixable but I think it is worth the try.
    Thanks very much.

    please ignore the comment about coffee. Someone posted a very similar question apart from he spilt coffee on his phone, I didn't.

  • Iphone could not be restored error 1669

    Instead of my network provider, my iPhone displays 'Searching...'. I tried to reset through my iTunes and my phone but could not due to Find My iPhone, so I went onto Find My iPhone on my computer and erased my phone thinking it would be like a factory reset. I have tried restoring the device but everytime I try I get Error 1669 and the restoration crashes on 'Restoring iPhone's Firmware' I was just wondering what I could do to get the phone back to before I erased it. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

    Hello, KBAKA. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Error 1669 can be similar to error 1.  Try the troubleshooting steps for error one as outlined below.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm yoursecurity software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

  • I recently put my phone into recovery mode but it showed this "The iPhone can not be restored error(3419)."

    I put my phone into a recovery mode but it showed "The iPhone cannot be restored error (3419)." I want to restore it, but all it shows is a iTunes symbol, and an Apple cord. What do I do?! I'm really frustrated. I aside with that, I tried using TinyUmbrella, but my iPhone wont detect.. Can anyone solve this?!

    Error 1 is a very bad Hardware Error of the Baseband Chip. There is no fix. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Iphone could not be restored error?

    Trying to do routine update on my iPhone 4.  Then was prompted to restore my phone to original settings. Went through 3 hours of that, then an error occured saying unable to restore the phone.  Now, I can't do anything with my phone.  Tried disconnecting from iTunes and restarting both my phone and mac book pro. No luck.  Tried to get help on the apple support website, but the only options were to speak to somoeone over the phone- which can't happen right now since it's not working right now. Freaked out and phone less.

    From the support document that I provided you earlier:
    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.

  • Iphone 3GS not starting totally frozen

    I tried with some answers given in the community like holding the sleep/wake and home button for 10 seconds, my battery was fully dead, whenever i connect to charge in AC it will start charging and shows the apple symbol and nothing more after that.
    The phone staying at Apple symbol and not booting further.

    Sometimes when a battery is completely flat in needs to be connected to the charger for a while before the phone becomes responsive again
    what are you using to charge with?  try a different cable or charger block
