Iphone shuts off during restore which causes error 9

Hello here, as I have mentioned in the headlines, I just got a Iphone from a friend and as soon as it reaches the apple in the starting process, it restarts. He claims it has been like that for over a week. I have tried fixing recovery, recovery mode, DFU, everything, seriously. When I am in recovery mode, I manage to get Itunes to recognize the device. I try to restore it but the device shuts down as soon as it begins the procees so I get error #9 (not responding device, like I unplugged it) I would appreciate any help so much.

Sadly it didn't work on my laptop as well. I have seriously no idea what to do. Any more help please?

  • Why does my iPhone shut off during restore?

    My iPhone 4 randomly shut off one night while it was charging. Now while the phone is unplugged, the screen is black. If I plug it into the computer and hold the lock button and home button for 10 seconds (DFU mode) I get to a screen with a USB cable and a blue itunes logo and I can see the device in itunes. In itunes there is an option that says "Restore iPhone...". After I click "Restore iPhone..." it begins to restore normally, but once itunes says "Preparing iPhone for Restore" my iPhone screen goes blank and the restore ends with a message that says "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2001)." I've looked all over the internet for solutions, but I can't find any. So if anyone knows what's going on with it, please let me know. Thanks.

    Im having this same issue with various errors (1611, 21). Did you find a solution or does anyone else know how to resolve this? Thanks!

  • Iphone shuts off during "restore from backup". normal?

    Iphone 5. very latest version of ios 8.
    Att provided me instructions to unlock my iphone.
    1. connect to itunes
    2. back up iphone
    3. restore from back up
    when i restore from back up, my phone shuts off. is that supposed to happen? I turn it back on and I get a white screen and it says "slide to upgrade". i do that and i am back in and everything looks the same as before.

    Hi, yair_marx.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device has been unlocked by the carrier, here is an article that I would recommend going through.

  • Iphone shuts off during sync! Whyt?

    I have an issue with Itunes and syncing. I have the latest version of Itunes, however this problem existed even the previous version of Itunes. Anyway, the issue is whenever I try to sync, during the sync the iphone autumatically shuts off and restarts on its own. I am not running 2.0 on the iphone yet. I tried to install which automatically backs up but even then I get an error because the phone shuts off. Is anyone else having these problems? I have reinstalled Itunes and have pulled other USB devices off. I even switched the ports for the USB for the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? I been trying to figure this one out for a while. I know the first issue is the PC part. Just saving up to buy a new Mac. This is my work computer....URGGGHHH!

    I have personally witnessed this with a coworker. During the restore process after the upgrade her screen would go completely blank and then after a while she would see an error message on her XP machine saying that the iphone cannot be restored error 1603 (or 1604).
    When I plugged her phone into my MacBook and did a restore everything was different. Rather than get a blank screen we saw the apple logo and the circle down at the bottom indicating that it was doing something. We were able to completely restore her phone from my MacBook when she had not been able to restore her phone for 2 days on her XP. There seems to be some incompatibility between something running in Windows, for example in our office PC's we run Norton antivirus, that causes a problem with the device. It must somehow sense that whatever it is trying to do is a threat and is blocking its ability to communicate with iTunes.

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode, as explained in this article?

  • HT201413 My iphone shut down, I started the restore process as detailed by various other users.  However the Iphone shuts down while restoring and when it switches back on I get message from Itunes with error 21.  I now can't access the Iphone at all.

    My Iphone started shutting down and switching back on by itself. After researching problem, lots of results pointed towards restoring phone.  I commenced the process and all was going well until the phone shut down during the restore and Itunes then flagged up an error 21 code.  I now am stuck as the phone is in restore mode but I can't stop it switching off during the process.

    iTunes error code 21 is a security software conflict and the recommended knowledge base article for troubleshooting is:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125  Check through that and see if it helps.  If nothing works you may need to visit the Apple genius bar and have one of those people help clear it.

  • I have an apple 3g, tried to update it to 4.2, but it wasnt successful, then they asked me to restore it .. to which im getting an error message of "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error has occured (error 1015), any solutions?

    i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured

    "This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."
    Taken directly from this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275.
    Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

    I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
    I have tried powering it off
    I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    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.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

  • My iphone shut off and I can't get it back on!

    My iphone shut off and won't turn back on, even if connected to the charger. I see other responses have said to hold down the power and home buttons together. Where is the home (or sleep) button? I know where the power button is. Thanks

    Flip the Vibrate/Mute switch on and off, does the iPhone Vibrate? If yes, then your iPhone is on and the screen is out. If no vibrate then try the following......
    Leave your iPhone connected to the Wall Charger so the Battery can charge, which may be the problem. Then after at least 30 minutes, try to turn on your iPhone. You can push the Top (Power, On/Off, Sleep) button like normal. Or you could just unplug and then replug the charger or USB cable. Connecting iPhone is a way to turn it on. If this does not work you can hold at same time Both the Home button (the button at bottom of front screen) and the Power button (the top, on/off, sleep), hold both for about 15 seconds until the iPhone turns on. Holding both these buttons at same time is called a Reset.
    If this does not revive your iPhone you will have to Restore the Firmware in iTunes. Open iTunes, press the Home Button and then connect your iPhone to the computer with the USB cable, keep holding the Home Button until the iTunes screen appears on your iPhone. When iTunes prompts you Restore the Firmware.

  • The Iphone could not be restored.An unknown error occurred(1604)

    I'm trying to restore my iphone as my iphone suddenly stopped working.I just see silver colour apple symbol when i switch on then it displays usb to itues symbol. thats all..

    The Iphone could not be restored.An unknown error occurred(1604)
    i have tried from diffrent computer but i still get the same error.
    can someone help...please...thanks

    Try the following, which worked for someone else:
    Disconnected all other USB items (ext. hard drives)
    Disabled Symantec Anti Virus
    Reset the iPhone to get the screen with the lead pointing to iTunes (Hold down lock button on top)
    Plug iPhone in when this image of Lead/iTunes showing
    Start iTunes
    iTunes recognised iPhone in Recovery mode, offered to restore
    Clicked Restore, it unpacked then tried to run
    iPhone flashed then went to black screen, eventually iTunes gave the dreaded 1604 error.
    I then unplugged iPhone, but instead of resetting it again (which I've tried about 20 times already), I left it with black screen (although black, screen is definately on as not totally pitch black).
    Shut down iTunes
    Plugged phone back in (Still with black screen)
    Started iTunes, again noticed recovery mode, pressed Recover
    The black screen then popped in to life and had a small recovery icon at the bottom in the middle and the restore worked perfectly!!!

  • HT201210 the iphone iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1015).

    the iphone iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1015).

    1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
    The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
    gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
    Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
    The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
    used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
    network database was corrupted during the process.

  • Battery shows over half charge then shuts off during use.

    iPhone 5 w ios7 shows over half charge in battery but shuts off during use listening to pod cast for example.  When placed on the charger it takes a couple of minutes then shows over half charged again. What's wrong?

    Hi
    If you have tried restoring and all the possible fixes you are still well within your warranty period book a genius appointment and they will offer you a repair or replacement.
    Hope this helps

  • Laptop shut off during hard drive reset

    My laptop shut off during a hard drive reset and now it says to do a system reset but I don't know what to do

    Sure sounds like a hardware problem to me. To verify that you would need to attempt to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
    If you failed to create it, you can obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
    For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.
