POSSIBLE IPHONE FIRMWARE 3.1 LOCKUP FIX

Turn off the 3G network on your iphone. Goto setting - general - network. Your phone will only use the EDGE network. Since I have done this my iphone has not locked up or needed to be turned off and on! I 'll let you know if this continues to be the case. I am still waiting for a new firmware fix!

Well, since my initial problems turning off 3G network and having the phone crash....it seems to have stabilized (at least for now). I haven't had a 'coma' episode for over 14hrs.
Regardless, this is obviously still a problem and Apple needs to either provide a 'downgrade' to 3.0 or FIX 3.1. I don't want to operate in the Edge network.
Helllooooo Apple??? How about a fix or at least acknowledge you've got a problem!

  • Update to iOS 5.1 causes iPhone to crash on "Restoring iPhone Firmware"

    Hello everyone.
    I have been vry please with my iPhone 4 on Verizon for the last 6 months.  I was on iOS 5 which worked great.  Then this morning the AppStore icon had the familiar red circle indicating some apps had updates available.  I clicked Update All.  In there was an update for iOS5.1.  I clicked OK.
    I gave me the usual License agreement etc… I clicked OK.
    A few minutes later I looked at it and it showed a picture of a cable with an arrow towards an iTunes icon.  SO I plugged it to my computer and it launched iTunes.
    iTunes tells me that my iPhone is in Recovery mode and I need to Restore.  Why is it in Recovery mode???  All I did was I clicked OK for software update!
    I have no other choice but to click Restore.  It asks if I want to Restore and Update.  I click OK.
    I downloads the software (25 minutes worth!!!) then goes through the motions.
    - Restoring iPhone software
    - Verify iPhone software
    - Verify iPhone Restore
    - Restoring iPhone firmware.
    After it sits on that Restoring firmware with a striped bar for about 30 seconds, all of a sudden, a new window pops up and says "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored.  An unknown error occurred (1)."
    iMac 2.4G 24inch .  OS 10.6.8  All my software is up to date as of this morning.  That includes the most recent iTunes.
    Nothing else is plugged in the USB ports.
    I have restarted the computer.
    No third party firmware.  No illegal mods.  No jailbreaking or anything, all on the up and up.
    I have called Apple tech support but was put on hold for 30 minutes and finally had to go to work.
    I have done a search on this and other boards but could not find a solution.  Would anyone have any suggestion?
    Thanks for any help.

    UPDATE: 
    I tried about 6 or 7 times with no luck.  Maybe trying even more would have worked as Milis and some others have said.  But I ran out of patience.
    So I called Apple tech support.  After a few minutes a woman answered, I explained the problem, she said that since it was out of warranty, it would cost $29 for a one time incident.  I said that since I did not initiate this problem I did not think I should have to pay for anything.  Then she put me on hold, and evidently sent me to the slow cue.  I waited for about 20 or so minutes and another woman answered.  She was very friendly and tried to be helpful but this was clearly out of her league so she transferred me to a specialist.  A very friendly british sounding woman came on and really wanted to get to the bottom of this.  She did a remote access to my computer so she could see the contents of the log files.  After a while, she determined that it could not be repaired.  She told me the phone had to be replaced. 
    So she filled out a request to that effect, gave me the location of the nearest Apple store and made an appointment for me.  I went there during lunch and they replaced my phone with a new (or new looking at least) unit.  They set it up and now everything is fine.  It is still on iOS5 but I really don't have any pressing need for iOS5.1 so, given this previous experience, I'm going to stay with 5 for a while.
    Bottom line is that this was a real pain and huge waste of time.  But Apple support did come through without any trouble (apart from the waiting on hold) and got things fixed and working again.  The people I talked to did not have any idea of what might have caused this.  But one thing I was remember is this:  Usually I always do iOS updates through iTunes with the iPhone connected to the computer.  This was the first time that the update was started with the phone unconnected because it came about through the "Updates" panel of the phone's AppStore icon.  I'm not sure why this would cause the firmware update to go south but that is the only thing I can think of.
    At the end of the day, I think I have to put that in the "You want cutting edge technology? well it's going to work most of the time but every now and then there will be the inevitable pothole" column.

  • Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"

    Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
    I hope this helps! 
    Regards.

  • [new feature] mkinitcpio: Possibly missing firmware for module (LTS)

    When upgrading linux-lts, mkinitcpio spat out the following errors:
    ==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa
    ==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx
    Is this expected? When it says "possibly", does it mean it might not be missing? Or that it might not be needed? Or just that something is wrong?
    When I searched, I came up with 3 threads. Two were from months ago and the other was about using Unity on Arch which I am definitely not doing.
    I noticed mkinitcpio was upgraded yesterday or the day before so I'm not sure if this is related to that upgrade or the upgrade of the LTS kernel or the combination.
    EDIT: and then my temperature went through the roof for no apparent reason. (Probably unconnected to the update but still.) Restarting seems to have fixed it, though...

    I got the same warnings when I upgraded to kernel 3.9 (non-lts).  It only showed on the fallback image and not the regular one though.  I don't use those two modules so I ignored the warnings.  The fallback image contains a bunch of modules you'll probably never use while the regular image autodetects what it needs and gives a much more slimmed down image.
    I could be wrong about that but that's how I understood it.
    I'm not sure why it's giving those warnings (I've never seen it before kernel 3.9) but recheck the log:  It's probably only on your fallback image and you're probably not using those two modules anyway so I'm guessing only a small percentage of users will be affected by this.

  • NEVER uprade the iPhone Firmware while Parallels is running!

    Just that no one else makes this mistake. When Parallels Desktop is running a Windows-VM and you are updating your iPhone Firmware, after the reboot, parallels Windows XP will find a new hardware (your iPhone) and iTunes will report an error which will crash the update.
    Only solution is to return to factory defaults.

    Yup, same problem on a 4s on iOS 7, but it happens with every music/audio app I've tried, not just 3rd party apps. The play/pause/skip controls become unresponsive for me on the lock screen, control center, and it affects the same controls on Bluetooth devices (my car and a wireless speaker). Restarting the phone seems to make them work again briefly but the problem keeps returning. All these scenarios worked fine before I upgraded to iOS 7. I hope it's fixed soon.

  • Knocked off network by iPhone firmware updates and syncs

    Every time I either sync the iphone or update iPhone firmware, I get knocked off my internal web network and must reboot my computer to once again have web and email access. It always occurs <during> firmware downloads, so I have to reboot my computer mid-download for the download to continue, and sometimes several times to achieve the full download. The (Airport Xtreme)router does not need to be rebooted. Nothing else I do has this effect (knocking me off the network). Very frustrating and time-consuming -- any clues?
    Thx!,

  • 7.7 - Install error? Can't download iPhone firmware update

    I downloaded 7.7 yesterday and got an install error, but when I opened it up, it said it was version 7.7 and had the Application menu item. So I thought all was dandy!
    But when I tried to update my iPhone to 2.0, a message popped up that said I need 7.7 installed. I clicked "Update," was taken to Software Update, but of course nothing was found.
    Then I thought I'd try to download it manually, but the download links are nowhere to be found on apple's site: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Any ideas? Please help! I want to get 2.0 installed before I leave for work.

    You have to wait several minutes for iTunes to recognize any new iPod or iPhone after the 7.7 update. There is a major bug with the program. Apple has removed the download from their servers, which I don't think they have ever done, even with minor issues of previous iTunes releases in the past... I'm sure they are working on it and I hope to see iTunes 7.7.1 ready to download soon. You probably can't update any firmware/software until Apple fixes things...

    I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks

    Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone.  If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts).  To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account.  Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device.  Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

    Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website: 
    iPhoto 9.4.1
    From the release notes for the new version:
