Trying to restore my iPhone, get "unknown error 1602"

Hi all,
I am trying to do a restore on my iPhone but get the message "Unable to restore...unknown error 1602." Anyone know what this error is? I'm trying to restore because I have 1.44GB of "other" listed on the capacity bar. A thread on this forum suggested the "other" might be corrupted data and that a restore would clean out the corruption and make the space usable again. Any thoughts?(I'm using iTunes on a PC running XP Home.)
Thanks for your help!

Do you think uninstalling/reinstalling will correct the problem?
Yes.

  • My iphone was in water and im trying to restore it, but get a error code on itunes

    When its restoring, it looks like it is getting ready to finnish restoring until it gets to restoring firmware then it gives me a error code, which all it tells me to do is
    uninstall and reinstall itunes and restart my devices, which i have done several times. i feel like if i can get past the firmware restoration thing, i can restore it and be able to use it again, but i dont know how to do that, is their a way i can bypass the firmware restore????

    If you have powered up the iPhone after the water insertion ii is  likely to be  toast
    If the rice trick makes no difference or time is key ,an Apple Store genius bar will exchange for an Out of Warranty unit for $269,  if in US ,similar in other currencies

  • When restoring my iphone shows unknown error(-1)

    My iphone indicated that it is overheating and shows a connect to itunes note. After connecting it to itunes, it will not restore or reboot. Itunes gives me a iphone could no be restored . Unknown error (-1) messages. What should i do?

    I'm having the same problem.
    Updated to iOS7 with the hope that a problem I've had with my iPhone 5 microphone (not working with Siri or during phone calls, but working flawlessly with apps such as Skype), and when it wasn't solved I decided to attempt a restore. However, the restore gives me the same unknown error code jojo experienced.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thank you!

    You said:  "I looked up 1611 and it says a bunch of random things that have nothing to do with my problem."
    Why do you think that?
    From that search, did you read:  "

    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."

  • TS3694 I TRIED TO RESTORE MY IPHONE AND ERROR CODE 1015 SHOWS WHAT DO I DO

    i tried to restore my iphone 3g but error message 1015 shows up,what do i do

    From the article that the question was posted from:
    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.

    my iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
