Iphone 4 wont restore - 1601 error

Iphone 4 - 4.1 factory unlocked - bought in Switcerland! - 1 mount old.
Issue: Iphone started to power off every 2 every hours and going in to the restore mode! Done a 4-5 restores on 4.1! But know it wont restore. It gives me
error 1601 - and wont pass itunes screen Preparing iphone for restore!
And also itunes recognizes iphone only in dfu mod! I tried in recovery mode
but itunes didnot recognized my iphone - tried on 3 difernt computers(windows platform)
I have tried almost everything! Change usb port,3 differnt computers ,reinstaling itunes, cleaning the registry after uninstall, tinyumbrella - to kick device, etc.
Anyone any suggestions? If it is a hardvare issue, will Apple accept warranty
because a got this iphone 4 for birthday - ( it is used in another country).
Also it is registered on my name!

apple only provides warranty in the country that the phone was purchased in so you will have to go there to get a warranty replacement

Iphone 4s wont restore. HELP!

Hi there.
My iphone 4s wont restore no matter what i do.
i've tried everything i belive.
First of all when im trying to do a normal restore it says" The software for the Iphone "XXXXXX" was corrupted during download"
I've turned off my firewall's and uninstalled my anti virus program, tried multiple cables, tried other computers both MAC and Windows, reinstalled itunes,
Then i tried SHIFT+restore with both 5.0(running tinyumbrella) and 5.0.1, i did both in recovery mode and DFU mode.
i get these error codes " 11,14,2005, "
Then i red something about corrupted IPSW files, and i ran the IPSW file in a program call'ed "object fix", i did find a bad CRC file in the IPSW called "038-3705-001.dmg" so i downloaded a diffrent IPSW but it gets the same error.
So if i could find a IPSW without a bad CRC that could be the solution, but i cant.
I really hope that some guys can help me. Thanks.

No jailbreak. all of the online 'fixes' related to installing tiny umbrella to exit the restore mode and unchecking a Cydia (whatever that is) is one of the main points. I was just suggesting it doesn't work.
I Assume u work for apple based on the fact you would care about a jailbroken phone (I can't imagine it bothers anyone else) so perhaps you could look into this fault? I have read about a battery fault issue but I can't see how one day on iOS 6 it works and then on attempting to install 7 it's now a battery fault? Makes no sense. Thanks

If you don't have a sim card in the phone, you won't be able to activate it. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

IPhone 5 wont restore backup from iCloud.

iPhone 5 wont restore backup from iCloud. Ive tried restoring the backup over 10 times now and it keeps saying it can not restore backup, and it is connected to the internet.

Yes. You can't restore a backup made with an iOS version later than the one installed on the device
Yes, if you're restoring from iCloud. No, if restoring from iTunes.

i wana restore my iphone 3g but when i restore it with itunes after some time is say '' iphone could not restored unknow error 1015 '' help me please

99% because your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken. We cannot help you, see terms of use.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the software for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version isn't supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you're now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Have a error code 4013. iphone 4s wont restore after update.

my iphone will not restore after update. it is stuck in recovery mode. i get error code 4013 everytime a try to restore but i cant find anything on error code 4013.

DFU mode is also good as stated above, however the instructions for DFU mode are below (please note this is not the same as recovery mode) -
Plug your device into your computer.
Turn off the device.
Hold the Home button and Power button for 10 seconds
Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present, device screen should remain black.
Error 4013 is due to security software issues. Uninstall all security software completely, try again, if the issue persists I would either recommend another computer or calling AppleCare tech support at 1-800-APL-CARE (for US customers).
Note- this is even if your device worked fine prior to iOS 7 update with your security software. The change in the operating system on the device can cause compatibility issues with these other programs.
I hope this helps it worked for me!

IPod touch being read as iPhone and wont restore.

Hi,
Recently I paid to update my iPod touch 2nd gen 16gb to 3.0 firmware.
I bought my iPod about 3 weeks ago.
It was has been working fine, but now, it's reading my iPod Touch as an iPhone.
Before that, I would try to update it, and it would say the firmware corrupt error, and this was with ANY firmware I tried. I also went in to delete the corrupt file in the appdata sector, and there was nothing there.
Regardless, I deleted the folder, but it still has the corrupted firmware line. I also put it into recovery mode, and tried to update from there but it still said corrupted firmware.
This iPod as an iPhone is the newest problem though, I don't understand why it would pick it up as that.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.
I have not attempted to jailbreak or anything of that sort.
It does still work and function correctly besides the attempted updating and or restoring part.
Now it's reading as an iPod but still wont restore or update...
Any help would be nice, thanks!

Hi,
Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides other tips that will rule out USB connection issues.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207 provides more general tips that may resolve the issue.

Iphone 4s wont restore at all

My ipone 4s wont restore in itunes. When i connect it, it goes through the update the when the restore happens it does'nt work. I get the 4000's errors like 4014. The phone has a black screen and when it is plugged in, the flashlight is always on. I have tried updating itunes, using different computer, and different cables and usb ports. Nothing works. I would really like to know how to fix it.

Hi nick_740,
If you are getting an error 4014 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

My phone wont restore has error 1611

please help my phone wont restore!!! it comes with error message 1611

I'm not sure if you were restoring your iphone from back up if so, see below...
When restore from back up fails due to running out of hard drive space it does NOT clean up after itself. You have to do this manually.
Look in the folder Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup - here you will see folders that directly relate to your backups, all matching up with the times of your backups, and you will also see a folder or folders relating to your restore attempts, again matching up with times that you attempted your restore. I did this last night, so I know that you are quite safe to delete the folder with the time relating to when you attempted your restore - just don't delete your actual back up.
You are going to need the same amount of space as the back up folder that you are wanting to restore so it's worth checking how big this is and freeing up an equal amount of space before re-attempting.

IPhone 3GS wont restore, missing music

Nothing but problems with my new iPhone 3GS
Firstly after the second sync all the music was replaced with "Other" data - and the iPhone was saying it had no music content. Tried resyncing it with iTunes and got the message that there was not enough space on the iPhone.
Then attempted a restore - but it gets stuck after downloading the software update while verifying the restore with apple. The message is Unable to restore - unknown error.
So I now have an iPhone which is unusable and stuck in recovery mode.
Also tried restoring on both my imac and macbook pro but both return the same problem.
Im now very disappointed and back to using my old nokia until I can get this sorted out - any suggestions.
Thanks,
Isaac

An update:
Spoke with the iPhone technical support today who found that the error message my iTunes is generating is because iTunes cannot connect to the apple server - which is strange cause i've always been able to use iTunes normally. Suggested that I open ports 80 and 443, and check I can ping gs.apple.com (which I could).
Opening port 80 was difficult. After setting the port forwarding on the router (and even placing it in a DMZ just to be sure) the port was still not open and because of leopards firewall required being manually edited in terminal with:
sudo ipfw -q add 10 allow tcp any to any 80 in
sudo ipfw -q add 20 allow tcp any to any 80 out
However doing the same with port 443 (and turning back to my mac off - which I think normally listens on this port) I was still unable to open this port.
iPhone support thinks its a problem with the mac firewall seeing I cannot connect to their servers (despite being able to use and download etc from the itunes store), imac support thinks its the ISP, and my ISP thinks its either of the apple products - they assure me that the only port they close at the ISP end is port 25 and with the computer in a DMZ then its not their issue.
In addition:
tried the suggestions above
-holding down sleep/home, then home etc
-connecting whilst holding down home
-creating a new user account and attempting to restore from there
-deleting itunes application and the AppleMobileDevice files then reinstalling
Either way, and after a half day of googling, an aspirin, and being handballed around between apples various support departments i'm still back at square one with an iphone / paperweight "unable to verify restore with apple - unknown error (3014)".
Hope someone has some suggestions - apple is clueless about this it seems. Im sure there must be more people with an iPhone stuck in recovery mode having the same problem.
Apple suggested that I take the phone back to Vodafone in NZ and have them restore it - dosnt fix the problem though. This happened on the second day of use - probably going to happen again - and what if I need to do another restore sometime?
Thanks
