IPod stuck in recovery mode, won't restore, "Unknown Error 1430"

Hi, I have a 160gb iPod classic, and I've had minimal problems with it in the past. I can safely say that it's my favorite MP3 player out there. I did have one before that overheated or something like that, and I was given a replacement one. But, within a day of having this brand new iPod, I was listening to it at work and the music stopped all of the sudden. I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen had the Apple logo that you see when you restart it, only the background had blue, white, and gray on it, instead of the typical gray background. I restarted it and it told me to restore it with iTunes. After I connected it to my Mac, it told me it detected an iPod in recovery mode and that it needed to be restored. Anytime I click restore though, shortly after it extracts the software, it says it's restoring and then gives me an error message telling me it can't be restored. I got several numbers at first, and one error message telling me that it couldn't be unmounted, but now it's consistently giving me the Unknown Error 1430. I tried restoring on a PC, and formatting it as well, but neither worked. iTunes is up to date on both of them, and I've reinstalled it several times on each. I would rather not take it to the store to get it replaced again. Any help?

  • IPhone 6, Unknown Error 56, RED iTunes logo, stuck in recovery mode, won't restore, ios 8 - 8.0.2 update fail!

    Hi
    I just got my new iphone 6 and it was on ios 8 and everything was working fine i guess, i decided to download ios 8.0.2 as it was a brand new phone and i wanted the newest software on it to fix all the bugs just incase i had them.
    i started the update process from the phone, and before the update was complete, i'd say 80% or so along the way, the phone goes into recovery mode displaying a red itunes logo and the cable on the screen.i tried all the suggestions out there and even googled and youtubed to try and find a solution with no luck. even did a few searches on this forum as this is the place i usually come to get most of my answers.
    here is what i did in attempts to fix this.
    tryed restoring through itunes on both recovery mode and DFU mode, with both ios 8.0 and ios 8.0.2 files.
    let itunes re-download the update file just incase i had gotten a bad copy the first time around, tried with that
    used 3 different computers, 2 macs and 1 pc
    switched usb ports
    unplugged all other usb devices
    updated itunes and OS
    always kept getting the mysterious "unknown error 56" msg searched all over for what that could mean with no luck. the process always seems to stop at the same place, and the second i unplug the phone, it jumps right back into recovery mode with the red itunes logo. if i were in a place that had a genious bar i would've gone there.
    i need help fixing this problem please also i'd like to report this error to apple, really wanna do my part to help by reporting at the very least, so also if someone could tell me how to go about doing that, this is just sooo frustrating
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    MM.

  • Iphone is stuck in recovery mode - Itunes gives me Unknown Error 9

    Hello, yesterday when I plug in my iphone to the pc for some x reason itunes could not find my iphone and it told me to make a restore ... I did it but when it started the recovery mode it told me that it could not be restore because there was a "Unknown Error 9"..
    I did the following: Uninstall Itunes and Re-install Itunes (latest version ofc)
    Turn on off the phone
    hold the start and home button while recovery
    even downloded some solutions people in the forum commented
    I change my usb cord
    I change the usb port
    but nothing has work anyone know what I can do?
    thank you

    NOO it's not broken it is a software error. What you need to do is put your phone into what is called DFU mode or Device Firmware Upgrade Mode. What you have to do is connect your phone to itunes but do not start the sync process. Ignore any popups from itunes initially. When you are connected to itunes take your phone and hold down the home button and power button at the same time. Hold them down for about 30 seconds or so and you should see your device screen rollover to the black screen and disconnect from itunes once this happens it will reboot and automatically connect to iTunes, after this happens start the restore process through itunes and it should continue past the error message.
    * Also before you do this try ejecting your sim card if you have the at&t model if you are on Verizon ignore this. There is a small oval port on the right side of the phone with a small pinhole. Use a paperclip and insert it into the hole, the door will pop open. Take the door out, remove the sim card and wait 5 minutes then return the sim card back into the phone and begin the above process.
    If none of this works you may just want to bring it the genius bar and have them look at it. Good Luck and I hope this helps!

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode won't restore

    I have an iPhone 4S that something happened to when we had a power surge (even thought it was on a power strip). 
    It is stuck in the loop where the apple is on the screen and then off - repeat.
    Fully charged.
    I have plugged it into iTunes and attempted to restore. It does it's thing for 50 minutes or so and then I get an error. 
    I have tried this on two different computers.  The latest error is 2001.  It gets to the "waiting for iphone" and then the phone shuts off and looses connection to itunes.
    I have even switched USB ports and wires.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

    I think DFU mode should fix your iPhone... I dont think this is a port issue though... I would recommend you read this [Fixed]iPhone stuck at Apple Logo maybe one of the steps there can help you along.
    Method 1# Jump Start
    Connect your iPhone to your switched of computer and start your computer, your phone should start along and if everything goes as well the phone should boot up properly.
    Its from the same link... try this, if it works

  • My Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. I keep getting Error 9 and I have done everything they asked but nothibng helps.

    Help I think when I went to restore my ipod touch the date was wornign on the ipod and not it is stuck in recovery moder and I keep getting Error 9. I have tried everything but nothing works can someone help me?

    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software."- it's taken from the Apple support web.

    Oh my god, it finally worked ! I restored on an old PC and it worked !
    Thanks anyway for your help.
    But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
    Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

    Hello Meysam321,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
