Upgrading to iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3 - error 9

Hello,
I tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to iOS 4.3 on Thursday, but at the middle of the upgrade "Restoring iPhone Firmware" step I received *error 9 message*. I tried restoring on another PC, done all recommendations on apple support page, used different usb cables and downloaded the firmware twice without any success in restoring. Currently my iPhone is showing the iTunes logo with the usb cable .
Any body please could suggest any other solution?

Here are the instructions to change the iTunes server for a Windows PC:
Select the hosts file (normally you can find your hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC).
Click the Edit menu, and choose Copy.
Then, click the Edit menu again, and choose Paste. There should now be a duplicate of the hosts file named "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7).
Drag the original hosts file to your desktop. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
Drag the "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) to the desktop.
Right-click "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) and choose Open. You may be prompted to choose the program you want to use to open this file. Double-click Notepad.
When Notepad opens, add this line to the bottom: "17.151.36.30 gs.apple.com" and delete any other line that has "gs.apple.com" in it.
From the File menu, choose Save. Close Notepad.
Drag the "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) file from your desktop back into the original location. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
Right-click the "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts -Copy" (Windows Vista/7) file, and choose Rename. Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
Restart your computer and try connecting to the software update server.
Here are the links to Windows versions of iTunes 9.2.1: iTunes 9.2.1 for Windows 64 bit or iTunes 9.2.1 for Windows 32 bit
Finally, the firmware update file for OS 4.3.3 (Mirror 1 - iPhone 4 (4.3.3)) will work with windows. As per above, the windows instruction is "hook up your iphone 4 (that was in recovery mode). SHIFT-click (on PCs) on the Update / Restore button in iTunes. Then point in the direction of the IPSW file you downloaded (the 4.3.3 OS) to update / restore your iPhone/iPod."
I haven't tested this so good luck!

Hello MHGOH,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following troubleshooting assistant may lead you to a resolution of this issue. If you continue to receive an error message when connecting your iPhone, simply restarting both the phone and your computer may help:

When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, why not 3G ?

When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, what is the purpose of 3G then? This is really nonsense using wifi + 3G iPad. need help ! Thanks.

The file is too large to download via 3G. There is a 20MB limit with 3G. The purpose of having 3G is that you have internet access everywhere and do not need to be near a WiFi hotspot or network.
Not every single thing that you do every single minute of the day on the iPad involves downloading files larger than 20MB. You can surf the internet all day long sitting out in a park somewhere with 3G - but not with a WiFi only iPad - unless you use a hotspot with it.
Try turning off your firewall and anti virus software while you try to download the iOS update.

I have run into the same problem.
1. I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s. She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did. After I did we ran into problems with messaging. Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked. When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy. I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7. I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2. I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account. It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4. Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5. I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times. The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup. It does not matter which I select. It prompts me to connect to iTunes again. The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings.
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?

If you have an iPhone 3g you can upgrade to iOS 4.2.1. If you have a 3gs or later, you can upgrade to iOS 6 (only). Connect your phone to the computer you normally sync with, and update from iTunes.
The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

ITunes wont upgrade my iPhone 4 iOS software.

Hi. I recently updated my itunes to ver 10.2.1
I am now using a 16GB iPhone 4 but i used to have an iPhone 3GS.
I didnt have any problems with my 3GS but for some reason I can't download the iOS 4.3 software using my iTunes for my iPhone 4.
I tried using other iPhone's with my PC but it seems that the iTunes in my PC is the problem because the other phones can download the iOS 4.3 using other computers.
I tried reinstalling iTunes but that didn't solve the problem.
So what I did to upgrade my phone's iOS is I downloaded the iOS from a website and then i held the SHIFT key before clicking update in iTunes.
Now my iPhone is running iOS 4.3 but I would feel a lot better if someone can tell me how I can get my iTunes to download the iOS directly from Apple.
I did the network connectivity diagnostics test and this the result:

Either you missed some antivirus/antispyware software you have forgotten, you have some other software monitoring disk/internet usage, or your ISP is interfering with your net usage.
