Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1. I reserached this error and it said to make sure I have the latest version of iTunes, i do, To make sure i have a security software updated, i do, and ive done everything it tells me to do yet it wont let me restore my iphone. Before I tried restoring it, it was working perfectly fine besides the battery which i have just replaced yesterday. Ive tried restoring it in two different computers with two different cables but still no luck. I found this phone at a park and it was working perfectly fine until i tried restoring it. I have no idea what to do now. I appreciate your guyses help!

HT201210 the iphone could not restored because the firmware file is not compatible
this my qeustion ?
the iphone could not restored because the firmware file is not compatibleGenerally a sign that the iPhone has been hacked or modified
to work with other than the original wireless carrier or an attempt
was made to return to a version of iOS earlier than the version
currently installed on the iPhone.

You can't resolve the issue. Your phone is bricked.
This is the error message that happens when you try and update a jailbroken phone.

i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured
"This error is 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."

Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

While upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.2 something went wrong and came up with the message "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred [1015]." Now it will not start at all. It just stays on screen with USB and the iTune picture. What can I do to get it going again. I only tried to upgrade because I was prompted to up-grade and now I am helpless. I did a backup before starting the upgrade. The error message did not tell what to do next. Any help is very much appreciated.
Usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original
carrier .
Updating the operating system locks it back to that original carrier
You could try this

However if the iPhone was hacked it is probably a paper weight now

"the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"
Yesterday I connected my iPhone 4 to my Windows 7 laptop, and went through to install the latest security update for iPhone through iTunes. When it was installing the software update, the phone froaze, and then this happened:"the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"
Now, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bonjour and iTunes, to no avail. I have done the iPhone reboot method, and the phone will be identified as "iPhone" but not recognised as mine. iTunes states this phone is in recovery mode and I have tried numerous times to restore it.
Windows doesn't detect the phone while this is happening. It will not restore and the error is still popping up. I have followed as many threads to rectify this but nothing seems to be working.
I can resore it on my iMac but the reset date for the iPhone on this computer is six months old.
Any suggestions?When you say you uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, did you follow the directions in this Apple support document exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
That will make a difference on Windows computers. After that, try and reconnect and restore. -
The Iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (26)
Hello There,
My iPhone 4s as of Saturday as been giving me this error. I attempted to re-charge it in the USB Port on my XBox 360, as I always do, and then this is what has been showing on my screen for several days now.
I have attempted to charge it via a Computer, and iTunes let's me know 'The iPhone is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored so that I can use it with iTunes'. Half way into the download, this error pops up 'The iPhone could not be Restored. An Unknown Error has Ocurred (26)'. I looked up online and could not find this specific Error Code, so I upgraded to the Newest Version of iTunes and tried once more, and to no avail.
What can I do to rectify this problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank YouI've only found 2 things that can cause this specific error. Are to phones that have been jailbroken. Are you absolutely positive you never jailbroke it?
If you're absolutely positive that it was never jailbroken, then you've hit a wall. The Flash chip that the phone uses to boot from is either physically damaged or has been so badly corrupted it's unwritable. Either way, there is no way to fix it. -
My iPhone has crashed and i went to iTunes to restore it and after waiting for it to be restored it said "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2006). Can anybody please help suggest what i should do now?
This error normally appears if you attempted to downgrade or modify your iOS. See here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015

This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue. -

The iphone could not be restored error 23
**Hello to all I have a iPhone 3gs 3.1.3 Suddenly went Network and i Switched off the devices and turn it on again prepared But not open network and mark appears cable & iTunes And worked restor but an error message appears the iphone could not be restored 23 .**
**The iPhone still does not function with the flag whenever two devices the same problem .**
**Please help**
*thankss*Error 23 is generally a hardware failure. If under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store or contact whoever handles warranty & support where you live. If out of warranty, google third party repair shops in your area. You will not be able to restore with a hardware failure. To confirm, try restoring on a known good computer, if you get the same error message, you have a hardware failure.
