When restoring my iphone 3g error 0015 occured

when I am trying to restore my iphone 3g i get error says "error 0015 occured" why?

1015 is common with OS downgrades. Are you running custom firmware or jailbroken? For that, the forum can't help you, but try restoring as normal via DFU mode. You may need to use 3rd party tools to fix your errors.

Tried to update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. My only option now is to restore my iPhone and lose media. However, I then tried to restore my iPhone and error 1603 occurred. My iPhone is now not working!?!?!

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (3). How do I fix this?

I had a problem with my iPhone 5 connecting to my service provider (verizon) and also to the internet just minutes after I had used the internet to browse before work this morning. I tried soft reset, hard reset, and connecting to my computer, but nothing worked to get it back to normal. I decided to do a system wipe and restore it as well, but I get that error: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (3)." I googled that and searched for literally 7 hours without any luck. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

This has just happened to me today. I have an iphone 5 on Verizon. I was using the internet on the device normally when it started. It couldn't access any online data even though it had 4 bars of service and LTE. I restarted it and it would be stuck "Searching for network". I tried wiping the phone with no luck. It gets stuck at around 99% of the firmware restore process and hangs there for about 25 minutes before itunes gives me the error described above. I tried the recover-mode restore with the same results.
I need a working phone ASAP, this is extremely frustrating!

The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (11).

I recieved an iPod from a friend of mine. He has bought a new one and is currently using it with his apple ID. I have plugged in the iPod he gave me and attempted to restore it. When it goes through most of the restoration process the error "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (11)." pops up. The iPod is also stuck on a screen with a USB cord pointing twords the iTunes icon, i shut it off then turn back on and this image is still on the screen. The iPod also does not appear in MyComputer. It does appear in iTunes but it only has the name, no serial number, capacity, or software version. I also re-installed iTunes. I am using windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite A665 laptop.
I would appreciate any help that anyone has to offer.
Thank you.

When restoring the iPhone 4, how do I prevent downloading iOS 5?

iTunes downloaded the updated iOS 5 software yesterday. I need to restore my iPhone 4 but I don't want the updated operating system. How do I prevent/decline this from happening when restoring my iPhone 4 to factory settings?

ITunes when restoring ipad returns an error 40.

iTunes when restoring ipad returns an error 40. I'm not the only one facing the same problem. On this site you can find many examples. Device operated properly small period of time. The reason for the error flash nand. I think devices should be replaced

Sadly this is "normaly" a Nand chip or controller failure - I hope you are still in warranty
But try iRecovery first - hope It helps
