IPhone 5 restore error (-1) after update attempt

Cant restore my iphone 5 getting this error every time, tried with different macs and one win PC, changed the USB cable, stil no luck..anybody?

As the iPhone 5 is not user serviceable, you have voided the warranty with Apple and forfeited your right to support on that phone, including from this forum.
You'll need to search elsewhere on the internet, such as ifixit.com for a solution to your problem, if one indeed exists.  Again, you can receive no help on this forum.

  • Restore error message after updating to 3.01

    Since I updated to 3.01 (a process that did not go easily) I am getting a "restore" message at random times. Resetting the phone corrects the problem but it is ANNOYING. I assume the next patch will fix it but geez, Apple, field test.

    I have the same problem. 2-3 times daily. I hope 3.1 will be out soon.

  • HT201210 iphone 5 Restore Error -1

    iphone 5 Restore Error -1 Not Update Firmware

    Error -1 generally indicates a catastrophic hardware failure.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple or whomever provides warranty service for the iPhone in your country.

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • My iphone 5s lose Touch-id after update ios 7.1 . What should i do now ? My Iphone is from HongKong but now i lives in Viet Nam . Is there anyway that I can transfer my Iphone to Apple Hongkong

    Pls help me
    My iphone 5s lose Touch-id after update ios 7.1 . What should i do now ? My Iphone is from HongKong but now i lives in Viet Nam . Is there anyway that I can transfer my Iphone to Apple Hongkong

    In iOS 7.1, the setting has changed locations and is in the same grouping with General, Wallpapers, etc. Also, if you have not set a passcode, you cannot see or set Touch ID. If you restored the phone as new and it still does not provide you the option to set a passcode, and then Touch ID, then it is possible there is a hardware error. Since you purchased the device in Hong Kong, as described before, you can only get a friend/relative to take it to Apple, or you will have to do it yourself. Unfortunately that is what can happen when you need warranty work and have purchased a device outside of the country that you live in.

    Hello there, Fernandox26.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My iphone 5 crashes (restarts) automatically after updating to ios 7.1 anyboday facing same issues ? Need help !!!!

    my iphone 5 crashes (restarts) automatically after updating to ios 7.1 anyboday facing same issues ? Need help !!!!

    I am having the same issues--just got off phone with customer service rep--was told that my phone is in recoveyr mode and that I would have to restore it, however, the only things that would be restored would be from my last backup which was in November 2013!  I was also told that apple users should not update as soon as the update is available (so why are they sending it to us if they're not sure that there will be any problems!!!).  I can't restore now since I am in work--will do it when I go home tonight.  In the meantime, I am without a working iphone for the day!  This is horrible--I see I'm not the only one who has experienced this!

  • Is it possible to restore to ios5 after updating to ios6 when my phone returned to locked state to unlocked state. Pla help...

    Is it possible to restore to ios5 after updating to ios6 when my phone returned to locked state to unlocked state. Plshelp...

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
    to your current Carrier may have rendered the software unable to be
    officially unlocked and may prevent future updates.
    Reverting to a previous version of iOS is not supported. Even it it was,
    such reversion would not solve your problem because the iPhone has become
    relocked to the original wireless provider and that status will not change
    no matter what iOS version is installed.

  • HT5706 Apple TV 3 light blinking after update attempt, not working

    Apple TV not working after update attempt. The Apple TV light just keeps blinking can not turn it off and unplugging it for 30 seconds is not a remedy. I have tried that several times.I have only had this for a few weeks now I am vary disappointed.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    Nope
    One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
    The other thing I could recommend
    Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
    It may take a day or two with it not being used
    Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
    If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store
