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.

    This Error Code is indicative of the Device being jailbroken / Hacked...

  • MMS Update from 3.1 - Unable To Restore Error - Phone Dead.

    Ok, I just tried to do the MMS update from 3.1 and now when I plug it in it says that it needs to be restored and all data will be lost. Before trying to do the MMS update downloaded latest iTunes, then plugged in the phone and did the download and update. Now I try to do the restore but it errors before complete every time.
    What do I do know got to have this thing working and I readlly don't want toose all my data?

    I had the same issue. I have a 16GB 3G. I tried everything Apple suggested and then some. I had to download the 3.0.1 firmware and restore from that. I even took it to the Apple store after I put 3.0.1 back on and they had the same problem. My phone is out of warranty, so my only options are pay Apple for a new phone or live with 3.0.1 without being able to upgrade. This is the option that I chose. If your phone is under warranty, take it to Apple, they will replace it. I would not suggest restoring the firmware if you are still under warranty.
    If you choose to restore using 3.0.1, just download the firmware from the internet and then hold the Shift key while clicking on the Restore button in iTunes. That worked for me so that at least my phone is working and is no longer in paper weight mode.
    Sorry, I wish I had better news, but at least that will get you up and running again. I have noticed that the hard reset has worked for some people on here, (hold down the home and sleep buttons for about 10 seconds or so) but that would not work with my phone. I tried everything. I tried the update on four different computers both Mac and Windows. (Make that 5, the Apple store was #5). I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on two of the computers. I tried using an old version of iTunes as well as the updated version of iTunes. I tried everything, the only thing that worked was going back to 3.0.1. There is actually a post on here that describes how to get MMS on 3.0.1 without upgrading to 3.1. Since my phone is out of warranty, I have nothing to lose.
    Good luck...

  • TS3694 Unable to Restore iPhone 3GS

    My iPhone 3GS won't restore even though I have downloaded the latest iOS software but it won't install on my phone. My Error Message isn't shown in the list of examples given on the blog, it reads 'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found.'  Can anyone help me ?

    There are several options you can do.
    I talked with Apple Support learned a few tricks of trade.
    1. You must stop Internet connection. Hit the top button and hold for three seconds till you get a slide "To turn off". Slide the Red button to turn off iPhone completely. Wait for 10 seconds and then turn it back on with the same top button till you get an Apple logo on the Startup Screen. This will help and try again.
    2. Alternate option go to Synchronized your iPhone with your computer it will detect in iTunes the latest software for iTunes on your computer and the latest iOS on your iPhone which is 4.1.1. This will help updating your iPhone software, in the process it will backup your iPhone on to your computer. Next, is setup an iCloud account, use your original email address without the @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com. This will complete your iCloud account. And backups your purchases to an online server of up to 5GBs.
    3. To restore all of your apps using iTunes instead of Synchronizing you want to transfer some of the data onto your iPhone device, by clicking "Unknown" that's your iPhone device, this area is tricky. Or you can use iCloud to restore everything on your iPhone. Everything will be restored except apps you downloaded that are optional music, movies, tv shows, will have to be reinstalled through iCloud.
    4. Updating your device to iPhone iOS 5.1 is not possible.

  • TS3694 trying to restore my phone and error occurs with 1015 in the message anyone know what this is?

    bought a second hand iphone that worked fine untill i tried to restore to factory settings and put a simcard in. now tring to restore the software, but everytime it comes up with an error message half way through with the code 1015 on the end. anyone knows what this means??

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Has the firmware been modified before you updated the iOS? If yes, this error could be a result of a jailbreak.

  • TS3694 Unable to restore iPhone 5

    Trying to get my iPhone 5 working again, during attempts to restore, keep getting:
    Clicking "More Information" open a web page with a list of things to check, like updating to latest version of software, etc.  All done.  Rebooted MacBook, no diff.  If that "(9)" is the error message referred to in the web page, it says it's a USB error.  Tried three different USB ports and two different cables, no diff.
    Any ideas?

    I refreshed Safari and now cannot see the screenshot I included.  It says, "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)."

  • HT201444 iOS8 has completely broken my phone, unable to restore?

    I am getting a restore error of 4005. I have disconnected all USB cables from my iMac. I am unable to restore the phone to factory settings. My computer starts extracting software, then I get the error 4005. I reboot and try again, I get the 4005 error. I see a Samsung device in my near future. Totally frustrated with this...

    Hello erksonson,
    It may help to try restoring with another USB cable.
    Restore using another USB cable.
    Restore your device on another computer.
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.

  • How can i Use my apple 4 phone again - I was instructed to restore my phone with itunes and now it's stuck with the itunes logo and black screen Itunes has said unable to restore and now left unable to use my phone and not sure if I have any data on it?

    I was instructed by I Tunes to restore my Iphone 4 - ITunes has since said it is unable to restore.  I  am now left with a black screen with Itunes logo on it and a picture of the charger attachment at the base of the screen and I am unable to do anything now with the device.  I think I may have lost all of my information on the device too ~ can anyone help please?

    You have lost all your data, but hopefully you were backing it up with iCloud or iTunes. You can try this:
    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
