TS3694 iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode after updating to 6.13 baseband 6.15

i have updated my phone from IOS 5.1.1 to 6.13 via itunes. the phone will not activate i keep getting message unable to connect to sever.

Call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone and tell them you only want to know the name of the cell provider it is locked with. Then contact that cell provider and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode while updating to iOS 6.1

    Hello there, I was updating my iPhone 3GS(New Bootrom) from iOS6.0 to iOS 6.1. While it was updating, iTunes suddenly ends up saying error and now my iPhone is stuck in recovery mode loop. I've tried DFU mode on my iPhone and try to kick it out by using TinyUmbrella but the computer doesn't reconize it. And when it was on recovery, iTunes doesn't reconize too, a window pops up and says i have to install 'Apple Mobile Device'. I've re-install and install iTunes a couple of times and nothing is working. Switching on and off the iPhone doesn't work too. Please, someone help me with this problem! I really do not know what to do! Please reply this As Soon As Possible!

    Ok. I have spent the last 8 hours researching this problem and have the absolute 110% answer to everyone's problem with this issue.
    Error 13 and 14 : Are checksum problems with the firmware image that is in the update package.
    The update package is a .ipsw (IPod or IPhone SoftWare). This file is actually just a .zip renamed .ipsw.
    The error is caused by a failure to download a crc-free version of the file. Not really sure why there are so many crc problems with the iphone updates, but Apple does not check the integrity of the update package before wiping your current version of IPhone software and that is why all IPhones that start an update with a bad update package end up in recovery mode. These errors are NOT related to the iTunes installation, antivirus software, or firewalls.
    Recommendation : use a program like "Object Fix" (Freeware) to verify the integrity of the file prior to commencing with any new updates. You will have to keep trying to download it until you get a error free file. Once you have a CRC error free file this problem will go away. (I thought TCP/IP helped get rid of CRC errors.)
    I had another problem and that was...
    Error 1603 and 1604 : These are USB driver connectivity problems.
    Recommendation : FULLY uninstall and re-install itunes software as stated in the Apple support documentation. Be sure to reboot between each step and these problems should clear themselves up. In addition, firewalls and anti-virus software may cause these errors as well.
    Finally, shame on apple for not properly documenting their software so that end users do not have to decrypt their error messages with no true support to solve the issues. These are problems that enough people have had that there should be specific documentation on these problems.

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • My iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode after updating to ios5.1

    i got my iphone 4 updated to ios 5 months ago and it was successful. However, i was updating my software to ios 5.1 using the phone itself and it went into recovery mode after that. The moment before updating it was fine and now it stuck in recovery mode, showing the itunes logo and usb cable.
    I connected my phone to the itunes on my laptop and it shows that my iphone is in recovery mode and must be restored.
    I've tried restoring it but after the restoration cycle was done, it pop up a window saying there's an error (1) occuring and my iphone was unable to be restored.
    I've tried it again and again for hours from yesterday evening until now but it's still the same. Anyone can help? I got no more phone to use at the moment.

    download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode after problems updating to 3.1.3

    I just tried updating and somewhere in the process my phone went into recovery mode. It has the little connect to itunes thing on my iphone, and when i plug it in iTunes says it needs to restore. I begin this process, but a minute or two into it an error pops up: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)."
    I tried restarting my computer and trying again... nothing, probably tried 6 times or so...
    not sure if it makes any difference, but I did recently upgrade to the 3Gs and its only been synced once before...

    well that was helpful. I ended up syncing it to another computer and the restore and update worked fine... I'm currently restoring my phone from a backup so hopefully I'll get everything back to the way it was... still not sure why it wouldnt update on my macbook, but at least I've got my phone operational again.
    Thanks!

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode after update attempt.

    Hey everyone,
    I recently tried to update my phone to ios 7.1.  I was just about finished when iTunes told me that it was out of date and needed to be updated.  I updated it, but it put my phone into a recovery loop that I can't get out of.  The phone is NOT jailbroken.  I've tried to get out of it through TinyUmbrella, change the host file in etc/hosts, and hard reset it multiple times.  Any ideas?  Trying to do it without restoring, as I have pictures I still need to back up.
    Thank you!

    Turns out we had a backup right before it did the update, and we have all the pictures and contacts with it. Just did a fresh restore and set it up with that backup.

  • Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after updating to IOS 5, Unknow error -1

    Hi Everyone,
    my Ipad 2 is stuck in recovery mode after updating to the latest IOS 5. Tried to restore, it comes up with unknown error -1.
    Ive tried all that I can including the tips given in the apple forums and internet. Please help.

    Hello soccerlime,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The error code "9006" in iTunes when updating or restoring your device indicates that access to the iTunes update servers is being blocked.  Please take a look at the information below to help resolve this error.
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent 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 preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Take care,

  • IPhone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, firmware iO 5

    My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode. I have a 3gs, firmware 5.0.
    Before I tried to restore it, my iPhone would randomly shut off, turn back on, and display a notification that said "Activation Required." Now, sometimes my phone would shut off again and return to it's previous working state. However, this time it did not. I put the phone into recovery mode and tried restoring it on my Acer Aspire 1 with Windows 7. iTunes put the phone through the various stages of restoration; Extracting Software, Preparing iPhone for Restore, Restoring Software, Verifying Restore, Restoring Firmware. After all of this, a nice little error message pops up that reads, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (1)."
    After this little mishap occured four more times, I decided to click "More Information," and was promptly brought to the help page set up here. I proceeded to troubleshoot by updating to the latest version of iTunes, updating my security, restarting my computer, and so forth until all the necessary precautions were performed. Now it was back to iTunes to try my luck at getting my life back.
    To my delight, I found that this time the restoration process took upwards of forty minutes to complete. However, to my despair, a nice little error message popped up that read, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (-1)." Ah, a different error message! i thought, feeling as if there was hope in fixing my phone. I clicked "More Information" and skimmed through the specific error messages, looking for that lucky -1. Nothing.
    I need help. I have attempted to restore my phone a dozen times since this occurence, and I'm growing tired of going through the same process over and over and getting the same result. My phone is stuck in recovery mode now. I've tried restoring the phone on 2 different computers, to find out if, in fact, the problem was my iPhone and not my computer.
    Some important information you may need to know in order to help me solve my problem:
    iPhone 3gs
    Running iOS 5.0
    Using iTunes 10.5
    On an Acer Aspire One Netbook
    Running Windows 7
    All security updates installed as of November 7, 2011
    Also iTunes 10.5 on Acer Aspire 57354774 laptop
    Running Windows 7
    Reply ASAP with a solution please!

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS which I updated with the last firmware (iOS 5) 2 weeks ago. Everything goes ok.
    And suddenly, while the phone was recharching. It asked me to activate it but I was unable to do it as it was rebooting constantly every time I connected it to iTunes.
    I tried both 2 restore modes (Restore and DFU) but since I can't achieve a restore with the last Apple iOS 5 firmware. I got the error code 1.
    I I tried on 3 different computers but same error. I really don't know what to do next...
    I already called Apple Customer Care and I'm still waiting for an answer. I let you know.
    And you, did you manage to get your iPhone back alive ?

  • Iphone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, will not restore or update error 36

    As the title states, I have a 3gs stuck in recovery mode.  Sort of worked earlier today, been having trouble with the battery draining fast/not holding charge goes into recovery mode on its own at times.  Have been able to force it out of recovery in the past but now it is just showing a USB cable going into an iTunes logo.  I can't get it to restore/update and before it got stuck it would not update or restore either.  Before you ask, I have no idea what iOS I have, this **** thing didn't start messing up until I plugged it into my computer.

    Update:  I have uninstalled and re-downloaded iTunes, Tried with a different computer, tried with a different iTunes account.  None of these did anything for me.  I have no idea what to do next, nearest apple store is more than an hour away.

  • HT201263 iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode after trying to download ios6

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it, it seems to download the new software (ios6) but nothing is restored. I still get that recovery screen. How can I get out of the recovery mode?

    Hey Justinjoly,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:
