Hi. A very much help needed.
- iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
- I've already re-install iTunes various times
- Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
- Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
but... to no avail!!!!
I am now without any phone to be used.
HELP ME PLEASEHello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

IPhone 3gs restores to iOS 4.0 but won't restore to iOS 5 'Unknown Error 1'
I have an iPhone 3gs 32gb that accidentally went through the washing machine a couple of years ago. It was dead and rested peacefully in its box under the bed until a few months ago when I found it and thought - let's try turning it on. Low and behold the little begger worked. It was pretty beat up, so I ordered a new rear case for it and a few fiddly screws later it looked as good as new. It was making and recieving calls ok and recieving email fine - I thought great, I'll plug it into iTunes (10.6.3 on my Windows Vista laptop) and update it. This is when the problems started.
As soon as it tried to install iOS5 it got to the point where it says 'restoring iPhone firmware' and then boom, I get the error message 'Cannot be restored unknown error 1'. I tried installing in DFU mode... same thing happens. So I brought it to work and managed to install iOS4.0 via my work iMac PPC G5 running iTunes 9.2.1 - again, everything worked fine. Calls in and out, internet (both 3g and WiFi) gps, etc., all worked like a dream. So I moved to another iMac that was running the latest iTunes and all the latest updates for Mac OSX. Tried to install iOS5... same issue. 'Cannot be restored unknown error 1'. Arrggghhh!
There doesn't seem to be any hardware issues because the phone works great on iOS4, I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong when I try to update it. I've also tried downloading the IPSW file and doing CTRL/Option restore and pointing to the file, still with no joy.
Can anyone shed any light on the situation?Are you sure your replacement is an iPhone 3GS and not a 3? The iPhone 3 can't be updated beyone iOS 4.2.1. If your 3GS was using a newer iOS you won't be able to restore from the backup (the 3GS could be updated to the newes iOS, 5.1). You can check your model number (on the back of the phone) against this list to tell: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939.

When restoring my iphone shows unknown error(-1)
My iphone indicated that it is overheating and shows a connect to itunes note. After connecting it to itunes, it will not restore or reboot. Itunes gives me a iphone could no be restored . Unknown error (-1) messages. What should i do?
I'm having the same problem.
Updated to iOS7 with the hope that a problem I've had with my iPhone 5 microphone (not working with Siri or during phone calls, but working flawlessly with apps such as Skype), and when it wasn't solved I decided to attempt a restore. However, the restore gives me the same unknown error code jojo experienced.
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you! -
Restoring shows unknown error 3194
I'm trying to restore iOS 6.1.2 to my iPad 2 WiFi.
The steps i'm following are:
Download the compatible ipsw for iOS 6.1.2
Pressing SHIFT+Click on "Restore iPad"
Choosing the just downloaded file
Waiting for the iPad to be restored.
The problem is that iTunes reboots my iPad, but after reboot it says "Can't restore iPad. An unknown error has occurred (3194)".
I read the iTunes error specifications and for error 3194 they suggested to check if the hosts file has some active redirect for gs.apple.com, i checked and there aren't redirects for this domain, there aren't redirects for *.apple.com.
How can i solve this?Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
1. Install the latest version of iTunes.
2. Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
3. Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
4. Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
5. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

iPad won't restore, shows apple logo, won't restart. Battery is low but won't recharge. Is it a sudden loss of battery function?
If you were restoring to a backup or resetting back to factory defaults, then have you tried recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 ?

My 1st generation iPad won't restore
My first gen ipad won't restore. It won't turn on, it won't turn off, it won't show the apple logo when I try to put it in DFU mode, and it won't show the 'connect to itunes' symbol. Basically it won't do anything that all the trouble shooting tips suggest!
When I plug it into the mains via it's charging dock, it flashes the apple logo every 10 or 15 seconds, but when I plug it into the mac it only manages to flash very weakly every 5 seconds or so.
After many attempts, I managed to get itunes to recognise that there was 'an ipad in recovery mode' but every time I tried to restore it, I got the message 'unknown error 1602' and when I looked this up, it basically said it was the same as about 10 other error codes and that all I needed to do was change the USB port and/or restart itunes and/or the mac and it would all be good.
I did all of these things several times and in various permutations but to no avail.
I'm not 100% sure of the operating system on the ipad (and of course I can't check at the minute,) but I'm sure it's iOS 5. something! (I did update regularly, or when prompted by the system, but haven't done it in a while because my wife uses it now.)
My itunes is up to date - Version 11.0.1
I know it's a long-shot but can anyone help?
Thanks
PKI have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything. -

Refurbished ipad won't restore
refurbished ipad won't restore or start up. Only have had it for 2 weeks.
If the above fails you can download a free programme called Recboot. Follow the simple instructions and it will kick you ipad out of the recovery mode and bring it back to normal. I jave just used it myself as mine was stuck in recovery mode due to a corrupt back up file.

HT1414 Iphone 3G restarts right in the middle of restore so I keep getting unknown error message.
Hey everyone, I have an old school Iphone 3G, it restarts itself right in the middle of a restoration so I keep getting unknown error message. I don't know why but no matter what usb port I plug it into, the white bar underneat the Apple logo on the iphone will get right close to the end but then like I stated earlier the phone restarts randomly, so it won't let me restore the product because it keeps getting reset by itself.
please help meThanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
But thanks again -
Iphone 5 cant be restored, it shows unknown error -1 while trying to restore and it only display connect to Itune
Greetings ayokunlefromlos angeles,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when attempting to restore your iPhone you receive an error and your iPhone shows the Connect to iTunes screen. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest manually placing your iPhone in recovery mode and attempting the restore. Please follow the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.

please,I need your help ! I was updating my iphone ios to ios4.2 and then problems begins when it shows that it needs to restore the factory software to I was trying to restore ,but that didn't happen it begins restoring but then it shows unknown error 1015
Stop being impatient.
From the article that the question was posted from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically 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. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
You cannot downgrade.
If you have a 3GS, you can only install iOS 6.1.3 which is the current version of iOS for the device.
