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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Iphone 4 wont restore or turn on

Iphone 4 wont turn on or go into dfu mode. no sign of life. when i hook it to the computer itunes starts and says it is in recovery mode. i click restore but it only gets as far as "waiting on iphone" and the phone has the apple and a progress bar that remains empty for hours. nothing seems to help

Try this...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

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

Hi Zainab5,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone battery does not charge:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

IPhone wont restore at all since update today

Am totally frustrated, have had no access to my phone at all since installing the update this morning. Now it is permanently stuck on the screen with the usb picture and i tunes logo. Have tried to reinstall i tunes and restore again on 2 different PCs, to no avail. When I start the restore, the summary does not show my i phone number, capacity etc, says n/a on all. Any ideas what to do - cannot believe that Apple are so irresponsible as to release an update that kills your phone. I see from other users this is a common problem but none of their solutions have worked for me. My blood pressure is increasing at a rapid rate, couldnt get through to O2 (hung up after 20 minutes waiting).

My iphone 4 wont restore i have tried all day

I was using facebook and bam the screen literally faded away.
I tried turning back on but it froze at the apple logo. So i plugged into laptop and it appeared in itunes in recovery mode iv tried all day to
restore it but it fails with a error 14 code. Iv tried absolutely everything and to no avail im so annoyed im back using a standard nokia phone
What should i do? i think nothing will help at this stage only to send it in for repair..

Since Apple doesn't repair phones (they replace them), I have to assume you had someone else do it or did it yourself. They DO replace batteries, but they would not replace the dock connector.
It's impossible at this point to say what might be wrong. You can check ifixit.com and see if anyone there has any advice...
What you should have done is taken it to your local Apple Store. They could have replaced the battery for you for $69, or the entire phone for $149. Yes, the battery seems expensive, but it's far less expensive than a brand new phone.
You are no longer eligible for an out of warranty replacement from Apple.
