RESTORE NEEDED AND ERROR 23

Please help me
i just got my iphone 3GS last month from apple store sydney. and suddently it has message " restore needed" after a while when i used it in indonesia.
I have download newest version of itunes 9.0.1.8 and restore my iphone. but still failed " error 23".
Any resolution for this?
Please help me since i am in indonesia now and cannot go to the apple store directly.
thanks

Error 23 means that there is a radio failure within the iPhone. This means that there is no longer 3G, bluetooth or WiFi. The only possible solution is to bring it to Apple or wherever you purchased it from for an exchange.
I had this happen back in August and Apple could not get it to restore so they exchanged it.
I knew it was a radio failure because I also tried restoring it in XCode and it told me it was a radio failure for that error code.

You can't get help here because you jailbroke -- probably wasn't the best idea. Try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. You can avoid problems like this in the future by not jailbreaking.

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore nano and received error message 1437 that nano could not be restored.

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore it and error message 1437 said it could not be restored. Any thoughts on how I can sync or restore?

Good day billoelwein,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano being unable to restore, you may want to first try resetting the iPod. See the directions in this article -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the issue is still present after a reset, you may need to restore your iPod nano back to factory settings. See this article -
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

Hello,
I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
I really need help.

What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
Without knowing that:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
I have tried powering it off
I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

My ipod classic had an error of 1439.It finally let me restore it and now it says it cant restore because of error 1439. why?

My ipod classic had an error 1439. It finally let me restore it and now it says error 1439 again and wont let me update my ipod. Why?

Hey there Palmer
How are you?
Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
I did the following:
My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
Kind regards

I already updated to iOS 5.0.1, but i tried to restore it and iTunes says i need to update it to iOS 5.0.1?

My iPhone 3GS software is on iOS 5.0.1 with iCloud and everything. I want to restore it and everytime i click restore, it says an update is availabe (not on the summary screen) and i need to update it before i restore it. If i click okay, it downloads the 5.0.1, then an error message pops up saying that an error occured and it cannot update. Anybody know how to fix this? Any suggestions helpful
Thanks,
Andrew

Temporarily disable all Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer, does the problem persist?
