From the article that this thread was started from:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

    how do you solve a error 1015 when restoring a iphone from recovery mode?

    This error is generally exhibited when someone tries to downgrade iOS. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This is the part you are looking for.
    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.

  • TS3694 after i was trying to fix my iphone 3gs recovery mode an error occured saying error 1015

    hello i failed to fix my recovery mode error 1015

    Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
    The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
    When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
    The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

  • Apple iPhone 4 stuck in Recovery Mode (Error 1611). Any Suggestions

    My iPhone 4 (16 GB) is in recovery mode (or DFU mode), but it seems to be stuck in it. For the last two days it has been telling me to connect to iTunes and when I do it tells me, "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone it can be used with iTunes". So I press restore and it asks me if I wish to Restore and Update; I agreed. I attempted the restore, but something went wrong. It goes through the "extracting software" stage fine, but when it says "Preparing iPhone for restore", the screen flashes white for a half a second or so and then it tries to start over. iTunes then leaves me with this message, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1611)."
    I have tried to get it out of Recovery Mode several times through YouTube tutorials and other websites, but when I attempt to do this, it will just go back to the "Connect to iTunes" screen. It will not respond to anything unless it is plugged into my laptop (I'm almost certain of this, I cannot be completley sure because the screen is just black if not connected). I have tried several different USB cords, re-installed iTunes and Apple programs on my computer and even made a new user account on my laptop. (I'm using Windows 7). This phone has never been Jailbroken and nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned, except the occasional time the home button would not respond.
    Before this happened, everything was working fine. Earlier in the week I got the Zagg InvisibleShield applied to my iPhone and everything was working great. On the night before this happened, my battery was extremely low and I used the Apple wall charger to charge it for the night (the USB cord was torn though).
    Any Suggestions Would Be Appreciated!

    Here are Apple steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1611
    Make sure you have a perfect USB cable. Maybe try to charge the battery before proceeding again.
    If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
    Error 1611 has been associated with the iPhones inability to hold the Restore Mode (mode where iTunes writes to iPhone) this can be due to anything. Restore Mode does need a good functioning battery to proceed. You describe some vague battery issues.
    If you do not take the iPhone to Apple for help, the next step would be battery replacement.

  • I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode. The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again."

    I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
    The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
    I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
    Please advise.
    I have tried all the steps in the apple support.

    There is nothing to backup.
    If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
    The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

  • HT4061 When proforming the new iPhone update I received an error message-iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.  If I choose to restore will i get everthing back.  Like my photos et

    When performing the new iPhone(IOS6) update I received an error message - iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.  Will I lose everything if it goes back to factory settings.  Right now my phone wont do anything.  It is just showing a cable, an arrow  and the iTunes logo.

    If you restore from backup.
    You should have made sure that everything was on your computer bef ore updating anyway.  Did you fail to do that?
    All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc.  Did you fail to do that?

    You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
    After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
    If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
    If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

  • 4.2.1 update downloaded to my imac,but has put my iphone in recovery mode!!

    Hi,as the title suggests yesterday I downloaded update 4.2 to my imac and when it finished downloading I got the message,"itunes detects an iphone in recovery mode.You must restore the iphone to be compatible with itunes." So I clicked on the restore icon and after a couple of minutes I get the same message about being in recovery mode.
    I've been on the support site but nothing,checked out a couple other sites aswell,downloaded Recboot,iRecovery,tried on another computer to restore,but nothing is happening.
    Love my apple products,but so p#####d off that when something goes wrong it's a nightmare.
    Please can anyone give any advice that I haven't already tried.
    Cheers

    What happens when you try to restore, does it give you an error?
    I had a similar problem. Went to update from 4.1 to 4.2(.1) and every time it failed and left my iPhone stuck in recovery mode. Usually it failed with the error 1013 or 1004 - which according to Apple are hardware issues. THEY ARE NOT.
    There is a simple fix for this: If you are on a windows PC:
    goto:
    C:\windows\system32\drivers\ect\
    and if there is a file called: hosts.umbrella (or something very similar) then delete it.
    There should also be a file called: hosts (or something very similar) - Open that with your favorite text editor and remove any line which has: apple.com
    Then save the file, restart your PC and begin the update again, all should work fine.

  • IPhone 4 Recovery Mode Loop PLEASE HELP ASAP

    My iPhone 4 is stuck in a Recovery mode loop ever since I updated to iOS 6. I am using a mac running 10.8.3 with the latest iTunes. When it is connected to my computer iTunes pops up and says "An iPhone in recovery mode has been connected, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then I click restore and update and it goes through with the whole process then i get the unknown error -1 and an iPhone that is still in recovery mode:(
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I called them and they said that they needed my serial number wich i do not have because my device is in recovery mode.

    itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode.  You must restore iphone before it can be used with itunes.
    Has anyone been able to restore their iphone after updating on itunes? 

    Probably over 200 million people have been able to restore their phone after updating on iTunes. 400 million if you consider that many people have updated more than once.
    Have you restored it as directed? I gather from the fact that you posted that you tried and something went wrong. If you post what you did and what went wrong, including the error message and error number, we can probably help get your phone running again.
