  • IPhone "Bricked" during 3.1.3 update

    Hi, in order: updated to iTunes v9.0.3. Connected my 3GS directly to the mobo USB port with the OEM cord. During update from v3.1.2 to v3.1.3, iTunes pop up said unable to finish. Phone is bricked at this point. Powered phone down, back up, phone is bricked. Screen shows the "connect to iTunes" symbols. Tried to "Restore" within iTunes, same thing, unable to finish. Checked services and processes running. iTunes no longer see iPhone. Add-Remove-Programs>iTunes>Repair, reboot, iTunes sees iPhone again. Tried Restore again, unable to finish, phone is bricked and iTunes will no longer see iPhone.
    I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted (XP 32bit), reinstalled iTunes v9.0.3. iTunes sees iPhone and that v3.1.3 is needed. Unable to finish. Ran restore, unable to finish. Phone is bricked. Any suggestions?

    Interestingly, I had a very similar experience when doing this to my iPod touch, but not my iPhone 3GS.
    My girlfriend has been using my iPod touch, using Windows XP to sync with iTunes and I had the same results. I ended up reinstalling iTunes, rebooting the iPod and laptop each and every way with no results.
    I later found that plugging the iPod into my MacBook, it saw the iPod straight away, downloaded and installed the 3.1.3 firmware and it was up and running again.
    In this instance, it seemed to be something to do with Windows XP. Don't know if this is what actually CAUSED the error in the installation, but it's all that I could work out. Haven't had any issues with the 3.1.3 firmware since, but here's to Apple releasing some much needed updates and changes to the overall UI of the firmware soon! I feel it's lagging behind a bit now.....

    Hi HARISH INDIA,
    That is not good but lets see if we can get it back to life. If you can, see if you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you can get it to restore, it will erase everything off your iPhone. If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud then you can put that on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.

  • White Screen of death caused during update of IOS 8.3

    My Girlfriend was updating her iPhone 5 to iOS 8.3, A message came in during and she clicked on it. This in turn caused the phone to with to the white screen of death with the apple logo and upload bar paused. We've tried the usual hard re-set, also plugged into iTunes for a factory restore but then it asks for you to click allow on the phone. We can't do this because we can't see anything other than the apple logo.
    Every now and then the screen flashes and shows you the home page. and using siri we managed to make a call.
    Any help or advise  would be great.
    Very strange
    Thanks
    Jamie

    DId she bother reading the message that appeared?
    That is not a "White Screen of death". That is the reboot screen which the phone does while updating. You should have left it alone. Put the phone in Recovery mode and Restore it in iTunes.

  • IPhone crashes during updates requiring restore & going over capacity

    During the last two update 7.0.3 and 7.0.4 my phone failed mid update requiring a restore.  This is a major headache.  I am using an iPhone 4S and really don't have the time to keep having to restore the phone which takes a looooong time.
    Moreover with the 7.0.4 update the phone mysteriously went from 1GB of space free to 500mb overcapacity.
    Since I use my phone near capacity this is a real frustration for me.
    Usually during restores if anything I find that the software seems to compact the space used when the apps are reloaded.
    Not this time.
    What happened?

    I finally rid the error (Windows Firewall was blocking iTunes).
    I did the restore but I'm still getting weird capacity ratings. They are constantly changing too.
    Now it says it's not over capacity, but I have 0.36gb to spare - except it won't upload all of my songs and it's stuck at 3600 songs. When my library was 5700 songs.
    Then after that, it said that everything was uploaded and I had 14gb to spare, which changes to 13gb to spare depending on when I connect it to my iPhone. (But again, not all of my stuff is uploaded).
    So I know there's definitely a problem here, because the over capacity is not consistent.

    See this support document Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support, but an error 16 is usually a hardware error. I will also ask the hosts to edit your personal information about the phone. You should not post this on a public forum.

    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.
    Maybe you phone has been jailbroken

    Unfortunately a power outage at just the wrong time during updating process means that there is now no alternative but to take device to a Nokia Care point to re-install the firmware.

  • What happen When light is gone during updateing ...

    What happen When light is gone during updateing software. Is software is destroy or what happen. Please tell me

    What exactly do you mean by "when light is gone"?
    Your phone will shut down and restart several times during the update, this is quite normal. Do not interrupt the process if NSU is in the final stage and installing you the new software to the phone.

  • My iPhone 4 wont sync to my iTunes after updating to the iOS 7. It says my phone needs to update to iTunes 11.1. My phone has already updated itself and it still won't sync. It's frustrating because i had to delete all of my music to get iOS 7.

    My phone already has iTunes 11.1 and my mac is saying it needs to update to it.

    Its not your phone that needs updating - its iTunes on your PC that needs to be 11.1
