IPhone stuck and not restoring
My iPhone 4S started acting funny yesterday. It showed only 'searching' instead of cellular network. Tried resetting network and resetting phone at the risk of losing data but no help. Then tried to restore the same through iTunes but after installing it got stuck at "Verifying iPhone firmware" and iTunes shows "iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1)" after which it goes to the mode where it shows me to connect to iTunes. Try doing through DFU mode but it gets stuck at the same point every time. Tried TinyUmbrella, BootRec, Snowbreeze as well. But no help. One thing I noticed before I tried restoring was that I was not getting any thing in IMEI or Modem Firmware filed of the Settings>General>About section.
Any help on this?

Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Or
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Otherwise, you can also do this if you're using a PC:
1. Go to control panel where you can uninstall a program.
2. Click on iTunes from the list of programs. There should be a button on top of the page that says “Repair”. Just click it. -

Help iPhone 4s could not restore (error 1) - stuck in recovery mode
I thought I had successfully converted from iPhone 3g to 4s could not connect to att phone service. To reinstall, I reset to iPhone 4s to restore factory settings. software downloaded successfully, but after install completes I get a message that iPhone 4s could not restore (error 1). Followed by message that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I can restore original setting bu clicking Restore. Doing that reats the problem After 10 attempts, I am frustrated. Itunes no longer shows capacity, software version or serial number for iPhone . Lists those as n/a. Need help
Unfortunately the restore did not solve the connectivity problem, but it made it even worse. The phone was not connecting to the carrier at all, constantly showing "Searching...". I tried another restore, this time it failed on three different computers (one of them was a fresh iTunes installation)... Strange, that it worked once.
@Unshaven: Multiple combinations of Power and Home button did not work either. Seems to be bricked now. I think I have to return it to Apple ...
Btw. Windows iTunes showes some log errors like 'getenv radio-error' failed and DoesDriverNameMatchDeviceID failed.
Any ideas welcome also regarding the issue of loosing connectivity to the carrier... -
I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT4061 My iPhone 4 will not restore.
My iPhone 4 will not restore. It displays a picture of a USB cable with an arrow indicating I need to connect to iTunes. iTunes sends me codes 1603 or 1604. I follow the instructions and get the same result. Is there anything else I should do?
Here's the meaning of error 1604 (also applies to 1603):
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
The above comes from this article:

I received my new iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset. It has been working fine until today when I deleted all my contacts from my old handset. Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back? I don't think the back up was done using icloud as I keep getting the message "not enough memory"
The point is not whether you used iTunes or iCloud to restore your new iPhone. It's whether you have Contacts turned on in Settings > ICloud. If you do on both your old iPhone and new iPhone then those devices are connected through iCloud. Deletions on one device are also made on the other.
You may be able to restore your Contacts be using your old device backup to restore your new iPhone again. Make sure that you turn Off ICloud functionality on your old iPhone before you delete anything else from it. -
HT1212 forgot passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it
I forgot my passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it. I tried the recommended methods listed on Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support but they did not worked. Every time I tried to restore it kept asking me to allow access on iphone which I forgot the passcode. I do not have find my iphone on this phone nor icloud. I am willing to lose all my datas just to get my phone back to working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Apparently you did not follow the instructions in that article that address your issue. If you forgot your passcode, then you cannot restore it. You have to erase it by selecting the appropriate link under Erase and Restore.
Erase the device. Once it is erased, it will no longer need a passcode. If you are talking about an Activation Lock, that is a different matter. Is that what you are referring to?
Cheers,
GB
