IPhone :: 3GS - "The IPhone Xxx Could Not Be Restored Because The Firmware Is Not Compatible"
Apr 10, 2012
However, I am starting to develop an app for iOS, and want to use my iPhone to test, so I need to update the iOS to the latest version (5.1) When they unlocked it, they rolled it back to iOS 4.3 However, when I try via the automatic method in iTunes, it fails. And when I try downloading the file (iPhone2,1_5.1_9B176_Restore.ipsw) and either updating or restoring using it, I get the following error message: "The iPhone xxx could not be restored because the firmware is not compatible" I tried turning on the phone into recovery mode (holding down home button and reconnecting) and tried it that way, but it still doesn't work.
Info:
iPhone 3GS

Never jailbroken my phone, never wanted to. Just wanted to put some songs onto my iPhone 4 and it said some of the contents cannot be read and I needed to restore. So I clicked restore and it started to download the 5.1.1 update. Once this was done the error message:
"The iPhone iPhone' Could not be Restored Because Firmware is not Compatible" appeared.
So, I remembered I had been reminded on my phone that the 5.1.1 update was available through Settings on my phone, so I updated it that way. Successful update. I plug my phone back in and the contents still cannot be read, so I go to restore the phone again. Once again, "The iPhone iPhone' Could not be Restored Because Firmware is not Compatible."

Trying to update iphone 4 from software 4.3.5 to 5.1.1, have tried this twice, but each time I receive an error message telling me that the phone can't be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. I called Apple Support who advised me to restore and update and said this would work. I tried this but after 45 mins that didn't work either, wouldn't even restore, I just got the same error message.

Took 30 minutes, so when came back it was restoring everything and then when it finished asked if it wanted to go back to a new iphone or a version from january...so all my pix are gone beause of an update...?

Restored my iPhone to sell it today. My SIM was still in the phone when I did the restore and after it restored and restarted it still had my number when I clicked on "iPhone" in iTunes. Even without the SIM it still reads my number, is this because the phone was automatically activated with the SIM in it after the restore?
Will I be ok as long as I take the SIM out?
