IPhone :: Error 1611 Update Bricked?
Apr 16, 2010
I agreed to give my old 1st gen iPhone to a friend of mine (as I've been on a 3G right now). I went and pulled it out of the storage shed, plugged it in, and booted it up. It came up just fine, prompting me to insert a SIM card (I had the phone unlocked).
Before giving it to him, I decided to update to the latest OS (which I had done on my 3G the week prior). So I plug it in to my MacBook, download the latest 3.1.3 update for the original iPhone through iTunes, run it through the latest version of Pwnage to get an ipsw, put the iPhone in restore mode, and update from the .ipsw.
I received an error, and the iPhone seems to have been bricked.Now, when turned on, it goes straight to DFU mode (showing a cable and the iTunes logo).When I try to update, the iPhone reboots at the "preparing iPhone" stage, and then iTunes errors out with:
"The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1611)."I have tried this from my MacBook, Hackintosh (which errored out with (2006)?), and Windows 7 PC. The first machine I tried it on was the MacBook.

I am on vacation, and for some reason just had to update my iPhone 4 to the new update 4.1. Well guess what, it will not update!!!!
My itunes is the latest one, so I even deleted itunes and re-installed it, restarted my computer and iPhone, then tried to restore it again. No go. At first itunes was giving me a 2002 error, now I believe it's something like 1004 error. What can I do? There is no apple store where I am located.

Does anyone know how to get around this? It just comes up with error 1611 and says cannot restore? Is this a hardware failure? Where do I send the phone? It's less than a year old!

I have updated my Defy's software using the official Motorola Software Update software. The update process passed through but at the end the phone not booted.
The error message is the following:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,69,35,00,27
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I have even tried to reset with: Vol Down + Power + right down tap. But the small droid doesn't come up. Do I have to bring it to the service? I need my phone every day for work..

after my own iphone 3g was bricked after updating to ios4.02, now my wife's is too. i ended up having to do the update (restore) from another computer. my wife's update has been through her own computer, not any of mine, so no common issues were possible - except that apple has obviously fooked up! this is after a bricked update to 3.2.1 on my ipad which still has Internet issues and wifi intermittent troubles. i'm getting weary with apple.

Today i upgraded my iphone 4s to 7.1.2 and it bricked up at the end. This has never happened to me before on any upgrades. Problem is i can not turn off the phone to restore it because the sleep/wake button does not work. I was using the assistive touch method to lock my phone. I tried restoring from backup in itunes but it says can not because it is locked with a passcode...

The update provided new sources and new wallpapers, but when you tried to apply a new wallpaper, it froze for a little bit. When my phone did the respring, the home screen came up, and was froze. I couldn't lock it, or click on any app. Then, the screen went blank.
It literally won't do anything. When I connect it to itunes, my phone will make a sound as if it just plugged in (I have different sounds on my UI). I let it sync, but it still does nothing.Any help here? I'm desperate at this point, and almost hoping that it will let me restore, even if that does make it 4.0.2.

I've brought my nokia c5-00 on 20th jan 2011.Today I was updating my phone to it's latest version, but the software update failed in mid showing error "connection lost with the device". And from that point phone dosen't starts. When i press the power button i.e the red button used to cut calls, it only vibrates a bit with no light on screen and switches itself off.I've tried everything to make it work like pressing the call, star and 3 button to hard reset it but it had no effect on it, my phone dosen't even starts for charging.Then after a failed long effort to restore my phone I decided to take it to the nokia care.I showed it to the nokia care representative and after examining the phone by pressing the power button she instantly asked me if it's a failed software update by pc. I said yes it's due to failed software update. Then she forwarded it to the technician to repair the phone.Now comes the shock.....The technician said that the software update is failed due to a [B]bend in PCB plate[/B] and he showed me the PCB. The bend in PCB is something like thisAnd here are the images of my phoneI want to know how can the PCB plate bend like this if there is not even a scratch on the phone. Nokia care technician had denied warranty due to the bend in the plate. Where lies my fault in this?I live in meerut and visited two nokia care centers1- Nokia care, baccha parkRemark- will charge 70% of the original price of the phone and will change the PCB plate.2- Nokia care, abu laneRemark- They said the phone can be fixed or cannot be fixed and will charge Rs 1500.

I'm new to these forums, and to the BlackBerry, having had my 8310 for only a few months (through my company). My daughter, however, has had her 8310 Curve since last March, and she has had intermittent problems with it. She has had to have it replaced under warranty by AT&T twice. This last time, she discovered that her sounds had ceased her alarm did nothing when it went off. The sounds later returned mysteriously, but she decided that that was the last straw. She wanted to take it back to the AT&T warranty center to get it replaced again, but I suggested she attempt to upgrade her system first. My theory was, since the new software was released, it would make sense to upgrade. My company phone has been upgraded (OTA) with no problems, so I thought (silly me) it would be just as easy to do my daughter's Curve.
The first thing I did was go to her Options/Advanced Options screen to do a wireless upgrade. However, that option was not available on that screen. Odd, I thought her phone and mine are identical, and mine had the wireless upgrade option. So I came to these forums and looked for some assistance, and found the sticky at the top of the forum about the 4.5 software upgrade. I followed the link to the BlackBerry page that contained the download for the AT&T software (making sure I selected the AT&T multilanguage version of 4.5.0.182). I downloaded that version, but decided before launching it to use BlackBerry Desktop Manager instead. It dutifully reported that her Curve needed a software upgrade to 4.5.0.182, so I decided to attempt the upgrade over the USB connection. When it got to the point where it had backed up her phone and was ready to do the system backup prior to wiping it, the connection broke. Don't know why - I used the BB-supplied USB cable. So, the upgrade didn't happen that way. The next thing I did was launch the AT&T download that I had retrieved from the BB link. It dutifully installed the latest BB Desktop Manager (5.0.1, I think), then when I hooked her Curve up to the computer it once again reported that she needed a software upgrade. I elected to do the upgrade, and it went through the process again, backing up the Curve to my computer and getting ready to wipe. This time, it again broke the connection, but when I chose "Retry" it seemed to proceed as normal, erasing the device in preparation for upgrading. Now the fun begins. When the actual upgrade began, the device broke the connection again. I once again got the dialog box with the "Retry" and "Cancel" boxes, and clicked "Retry." But when I did that, the screen on the Curve went white and revealed an icon which I can only assume means, "No OS installed," along with the small number "507" underneath. The BB Desktop Manager appeared to be attempting to upgrade the software, but after leaving it setting like that all night there was no change in the status. So it is well and truly bricked.
My question now is, what is my recourse? Is there any possible way to recover this device (since the computer does not recognize it through the USB connection)? Do I simply need to take it back to AT&T and have them replace it (again)? And will the backup I did last night be restorable to the new BB (assuming they give her another Curve)? I hope to get some answers fairly quickly, because I'll be able to hear the eruption from here when she discovers her Curve is a paperweight. Thanks in advance for your help, and your availability for BlackBerry users.

Last night I was prompted by Ovi Suite to update the software on my phone and agreed - halfway through, the installation failed and now my E72 won't even power on. Windows 7 makes the 'device connected' sound when I plug it in through USB, but my E72 still refuses to turn on. I've tried connecting it to a computer running Windows XP but still no dice. I've done some reading and found there's a "3 finger deep reset" ('*', '3', and 'green phone' or 'caps lock', 'space', 'backspace' and 'power on') but none of these seem to be working for me.

While updating to the latest OS for the 9550 my phone just froze up with a code on the screen "Reload Software: 507". It was in the middle of the update when the pop-up on my computer said it could not connect. I hit retry about 5 times. I then did a battery pull but the error came back.

I tried to update nokia e71 phone to firmware 400.21.013 and it was unsuccessful. The phone will not turn on.
Is there any way to fix this by myself using PC + software or do I have to hand it in to Nokia Care?

iPhone 3GS, 32 GB, nearly full memory (only 0.58 GB free, although there was 3.6 GB of 'other' memory in the bar shown in iTunes).
Started the update from iOS 5.01 to iOS5.1, downloaded to phone OK, phone rebooted, now it's stopped at the point where the silver apple is shown with an empty progress bar.
The phone does show up in iTunes at this point, correct serial number / phone number, but shows the entire memory bar full with the yellow 'Other' memory category.
The phone won't finish booting, can't get to the user screens on the phone.
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1, updating from iOS5.01

So I didn't realize that in order to upgrade to 4.0 you actually had to have your phone registered with Apple and now I'm stuck with a "We're unable to complete your activation." My phone is completely useless, unless I can figure out a way to downgrade or pay the $99 for the developer account. Is there any way for me to downgrade?

So my iphone just happened to go into a coma yesterday evening and I tried to turn it back on. I looked down to the cable connector on the bottom to see if there was any water damage. No red indicator. few hours later, I read that if you hold down the opwer and home button at the same time, it will reboot. However, I've held the buttons for MORE than 30 seconds--up to 3 minutes. Not to long ago, I also read that you should plug in the iphone and hold the two buttons, commencing the restoration process thingy. Again, held it down for more than a minute. I even tried it on my aunt's laptop and it still won't work. Either I'm impatient (I listen to music alot so it's like a drug), the battery/hardware failed, or I'm just having back luck with technology.

My iPhone screen shut off and the phone has been vibrating for the last hour. None of the buttons work...holding down the Power+Home buttons does nothing, connecting it to the computer does nothing. The phone has gotten very hot from the constant vibrating.
I did the jailbreak earlier. Only installed SBSettings and did an update in Cydia that it said was available. That's it.I did also have AdMob ads in Settings for some reason so obviously something else got installed on there but how/when?

I've searched and I know this is a common problem.I've seen some solutions, but none have worked for me. So I am basically here to further my knowledge.Like many others, I edited the filedb to unlock the internet settings and when I turned the phone off it came back on looping.
Has anyone found a solution to this that works?The phone connects to every program, but I can't do much with it since it turns off. I've put it in emergency download mode, but a lot of good that does since nothing will upload to it.I can't get QXDM to connect to it. I've gotten everything else to connect.Bitpim, QPST, LG Download, LGUpdate.
