IPhone :: Restore 3GS / Any Way To Avoid Having To Upgrade To Newest Software Version?
Jan 29, 2010
My iPhone 3gs is stuck in that mode where I can't get pass the white Apple logo even after several hard reboots (holding down the power and bottom center button. After a reboot the white apple logo appears and then it just goes away.I figured out how to get the phone to into recovery mode so that iTunes can do a restore, but I am getting the message that says "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings" All of your media and other data will be erased and the newest version of the iPhone software will be installed.
Is there any way to do a restore without allowing my iPhone's software to be upgraded to the newest version of iPhone software? I have 3.0 and want to keep it because I use my phone to tether. During the restore phase is there a way to cancel the portion of it that attempts to upgrade my software to the latest software?

When I click on restore from itunes, it says it will update my software to the newest version, 3.1.3 which I do not want. I want to stay on 3.1.2 so my phone is still able to be unlocked.Anyone know how to get around that, as in restore to factory without having itunes download and install 3.1.3?

When I try to use Ovi Suite's own software updating feature, it can't download the update completely but after 16M/16M informs me about server/firewall problems. I alternatively tried to use my web browser with star downloader and after downloading everything it tries to catch file info from Nokia but then the connection is dropped. I had the same problem with PC Suite, so problem is probably how my computer and Nokia support site discuss together. But is the solution (as Nokia support QA suggest) to drop your virus software and firewall down. For me that sounds quite strange. Any help?

So, the mobileme deadliner is approaching and I need to upgrade my 3GS to iOS 5 and my imac to LION.

I'm trying to upgrade my iphone software to version 5.1.1 and I receive an error message (-5000) telling me an error occured while backing up my iphone. What's my next step?
I updated iTunes and then tried to update to the iOs5.1 via iTunes. This didn't work so I updated via the phone.
The phone switched off and now it is stuck with a screen that says connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes it says the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I have tried unsuccessfully to restore it for the last 3 hours.
Most of the time the phone would disconnect at 9minutes remaining, or it would seem to download completely and I would then get an error 3529.
I tried disabling the firewall but still nothing works.
I downloaded the IOS5 software in the middle of October when the upgrade came out. I backed up everything then. When the new 5.0.1 upgrade came out and I downloaded it last week, I got everything back except for my photos that I took from the middle of October to when I downloaded 5.0.1 last week. how to get the photos lost during this time back? I apologize if this has been answered already and I just haven't found it...I have tried a few things from other posts but have not been successful so far.
