I've been trying for weeks to download the latest iPhone and iPad software update on iTunes but the download stops anywhere from 20Mb to 300Mb downloaded and says the server stopped responding.The download has to be started from scratch every time. Since I'm in South Africa and on a 2GB limited Internet package I am wasting valuable data on this.
I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4S 16GB running iOS 5.0.1. Just like everyone else, I have major battery drain! It loses like 20% overnight! I sleep For about 8 hours. So thats 20% gone in 8 hours. So I was thinking of restoring it. When I click on the Restore icon in iTunes it starts updating my phone to iOS 5.1! I don't want to update to 5.1. So I was wondering whether I could download iOS 5.0.1 from the web and then Shift + Click on the restore icon and restore my phone. Will that work? A lot of people are saying that it won't work because Appl has stopped signing iOS 5.0.1. I have no idea what that means. But I used to Shift + Click and restore my old iPhone 3G and it restored perfectly. It's still running iOS 3.1.3 haha. And Its also factory unlocked.
So, would Shift + Clicking on the restore icon in iTunes and manually selecting iOS 5.0.1 restore my phone? I really don't want to update.

Having a few issues with my phone. It will 'sleep' and then upon clicking it no longer wakes, so I have to restart everytime. Anyway, I would like to restore it, since I've never had to do this I'm not quite sure what actually is missing after restoring from a backup. As far as I know sms and such things dont get restored? How can I restore the phone that it's basically exactly the same after (sms, notes, settings etc.)?
Will it be possible to sync my new iP4 from a 3.1.3 backup of a 3G? Or must I install iOS4 on the 3G in order to restore from backup once the iP4 arrives?I am hesitant to install iOS4 on my 3G because of the conflicting reports it slows the phone way down.
Just curious - when I get the new iPhone 4, will I be able to restore from one of my 3GS backups in order to get all my settings/saved app data, all that good stuff?Or do you have to set up iPhone 4's as New?
I have an iPhone 3gs i want to sell that has 3.1.3 on it with jailbreak a la Spirit and unlock a la blacksn0w. I have apps and personal data on there, and did the SHSH blob backup of 3.1.3 to Cydia right before 4.0 came out. Is there any easier way to restore it to stock than put 3.1.3 on there again (I fear it will not be accepted or some error even though I have the "blob backup" a noobie in that department and just followed instructions from a dev's twitter). Is there an easier way to restore the phone to clean, re-JB and re-unlock? Maybe like manually wipe all contacts, photos, and apps (that should take care of my personal data, right)?
Also, only going to sell my 3GS if iPhone 4 is not unlocked before the end of the summer. I'm going to Europe in the Fall and if this isnt the case, I'll just be bringing 3GS with me .
I just replaced my iphone3G with new iphone4. When I went to set up the ip4, i accidentally went to set up the backup from the 3G. I didn't want to do that. So I went ahead and restored the ip4. Now, all it shows is the screen to connect to itunes, but it won't restore, it gives me error.
There are just so many different scenerios and different options, and i'm somewhat novice, and i don't want to screw anything up, and to top it all off, i'm on a serious time crunch. so, down to business....i've got a 3g, with 3.1.2 and at&t 5.6 and modem firm is 05.11.07 it is jb.
Here is the problem: it's getting really pokey with all the stuff i have loaded on it, and i want to start from scratch. restore. but i'm scared to restore, because i don't want to upgrade to 3.1.3 because final outcome, i need to unlock as well.
What i want to do: restore to completely clean, then re-jailbreak, and unlock.
My wife has recently upgraded to the 4s. I synced her 3gs to her iTunes account and then synced her new 4s to the old 3gs info. Now her contacts have vanished completely from BOTH phones. Cannot find them on either phone nor on her laptop?? Help!!!!
I recently changed my pass-code on my phone because of the amount of people knowing it, this was such a quick change that i have totally forgotten what it was i can guess 3 of the numbers but i am totally stuck. Is there any way at all that i can unlock my phone without restoring it because i have texts that i want to read.
It just started yesterday. The phone would shut off randomly and then the only way for it to come back up is to plug it in. Sometime it complete shut off where I would have to turn it back on or plugging it would just go straight to the home screen. Now the phone wont go past the apple sign at all. I got to the home screen two times today and one time it it had no connection and lost service and then it came back and then it had no service again. So I turned it off to try and get signal again.
Eventually it came back on and the phone worked for about 2 minutes and then just complete shut off while still plugged in. I am now trying to restore it and it keeps shutting of mid restore and then I have to keep putting it back into DFU mode or however you spell it. The phone has the most up to date firmware but do I need to start the download over if the phone cycled randomly while it the download was still downloading from itunes or do I just put it back into that mode and let it continue downloading?
My iPhone was having problems with syncing music from iTunes so I restored it to factory settings, then attempted to restore from one of my previous backups; all seemed to be going fine, the Restore in Progress screen came up on my iPhone, followed by the Apple logo and beneath it a loading bar. About 15 hours later and there's been no movement in the loading bar, it's still empty, so I'm assuming it must be frozen.
i didnot done my iphone4s backup and i go for update and now my phone asking me restore old back up what i can do beacouse i wasn't took my old backup for my phone?

I am trying to restore a single app and its data from the backup. Is there a way to do this? I know I can restore my iPhone completely, but not interested, but do not want to do that. I know I can reinstall the app, but the data will not come from backup.I would like to get app data also. I searched the forum, I do not see too many threads on this. I am using iPhone 4s-iOS:5.1.1.
A friend's iphone 3GS (IOS 5) is not working and she had a backup. Now she has an iphone 3G (IOS 4.2.1) and wants to restore the backup. How can she do that?
Service tech suggested restoring iPhone 5 as a "New" phone so as to not recover any corrupt data from my backup. If I do this how do add back my Contacts, Notes, etc?
i might sell my 3gs with 3.1.2, untethered jb using blackra1n iphone with 3.1.2 and untethered jb might be move "valuable" then others so the question is how can i erase all data without having to restore i dont have many apps downloaded, only some free games, and none of the paid ones. i can delete all my mail accounts, but will it wipe all emails/contacts?
So I lost my iphone sunday and am getting one from a friend tonight.My 3G was extremely customized with lockinfo and categories and categoriesSB, etc.If I jailbreak this new 3G, and restore from that backup, what exactly will happen if I have nothing installed?I know its best to start completely fresh after a JB, but I have some savedata I dont want to lose for the 2nd time.Would all my apps go back on the phone but in completely random places?Would my backup install mobilesubstrate addons without me doing it manually in Cydia?
So I needed to restore my iphone from a backup because when I tried syncing an app I got an error then everytime I connected my phone to itunes it was asking to either restore from backup or setup as new device and I restored from backup.Just wanted to know if my iphone is still jailbroken after restoring from a backup because I still have Cydia and the other stuff.
