  • Unable to update.  Receiving message:  The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone but am receiving this message:  The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible.

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Hi, i have problem updating my 8GB iphone4(IOS 5.0) to IOS 6.1.3 .after i adress the update file downloaded in the directory, itunes says "the firmware is not compatible"

    first i used the itunes method of updating, but it keeped showing error 9006. then i read somewhere on the internet that downloading the update solitary and placing it in this directory will solve the problem:
    (on windows: user/AppData/Roaming/apple computer/itunes/iphone software update)
    but after that when i open the itunes, instead of automatically detecting the update (to which i was promised on all the stuff i read about error 9006) it just doesnt do anything. and when i hold SHIFT and click RESTORE, it just says: "the iphone could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible"
    i really appreciate it if someone would help me...:)thanks

    Just to confirm is your iPhone jailbroken?. Now in terms of error 9006 in the article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 it says this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    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 phobos.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 underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • TS3694 upgrade from 4.3.3 to 5.1.1 b208 gives an error " the iphone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible"

    I recieved an error while trying to update from ios 4.3.3 to 5.1.1 b208 the error:" the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"

    This often happens when iTunes is not up to date.  Try updating iTunes to the latest version, then try updating your phone again.

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • The iPhone name could not be updated because the firmware is not compatib

    I have a 3gs with ios4.0 on it and when i try to install the 4.0.1 update i get the "firmware is not compatible" error. Any thoughts?

    I tried "Download Only" next, and was surprised that the download completed within only a couple of seconds. Suspecting a different underlying cause, I disconnected from my company's VPN and retried the download. Voila, the actual download started and completed in 9 minutes for 378MB. The subsequent install via Update button on the iPhone screen then succeeded.

  • TS3694 how do you update the firmware file on the iphone 4? says it wont update because firmware is not compatible

    iphone update is saying firmware is not compatible, anybody know how to update firmware

    Pretty sure I just downloaded the .exe files to the SD card (I have a directory called "drivers" there & ran from Windows, no need to boot from anything else. Didn't even need to use Safe Boot. The files do need an .exe extension IE someimes downloads as _exe. No idea why but would just need to rename if download has the underscore and not the period. The you can run them.
    Was so easy I really did not think about it. One of the Intel Platform drives does say "requires 1.60 update" so that is the one you need. Do the 1.60, reboot, and then the Intel update.
    Key point is the release note on the Intel Platform Installer
    "Release Notes
    1.Please install the  Windows BIOS version 1.60 or higher for Encore WT8-A (PDW09x) before installing this Intel Platform Installer update." note this says "BIOS" and not "USB BIOS" which is a smaller file.
