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. -

how long does it take for Iphone 5 battery to drain? its stuck in recovery mode
Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

I dropped my iphone and now its stuck on recovery mode.
i dropped my iphone on the kitchen floor and it went completely off. Now i got it on to show something on the screen, but its just stays only on recovery mode. I plug phone into itunes to try to restore and after the restoring process is complete, it gives me a error -1. Then goes right back to recovery mode. Does any of you know how i can fix this problem and get my itunes to read the phone so i can restore it please?
Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $199 if you didn't buy AppleCare+.
There is no magic that can fix broken hardware. -

Hey jestinsinclairr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol, then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.
Hello Hester Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process. I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Take care,

hello i got problem. iphone doesnt restore even using itunes.its stuck in recovery mode and i cannt do anything with it.error 1015 is there any way to reinstall software even if itunes cannot deal with it ?
Usually this error occurs when trying to downgrade the iOS or in a previously jailbroken phone. In this case, you cannot get help here. The internet and Google are your best friends.

Restore iPhone back to factory settings
I have a question. I have been having problems with my iPhone 4 locking up. I wanted to try and restore it back to factory settings. It's still
running 4.0. Will it automatically update the os or just restore back to my last syncThe OS is not included in your iphone backup, thus if you restore your phone as a new device iOS 4.1 will be installed on your phone. Be sure an update to itunes 10.0 before you do so.
