IPhone :: Error -1 When Restoring 3gs After 5.1 Crash
Mar 18, 2012
fixing error -1 when restoring iphone 3gs after 5.1 crash. my phone was working for about two days after update to 5.1 but all of a suden it restarted it's self and came up with the message (needs to be activated) conect to itunes. after trying to restore my phone it comes up with the message (the iphone could not be restored an unknown error ocurred (-1))
I have my sister-in-law's iPhone 4S at the moment, When I click restore on iTunes I get error (-1), I searched on Google. We do not want a load of money put into this phone going to waste.
I'm not paying $30 for some guy to support me for something they screwed up on. Tried to update my 3GS to latest iOS and once it finished, it gave me that error in the topic name. Lost my contacts, pics, applications and everything else. It's cool, I don't have people to talk to or a job -- who needs money and a social circle?
I am having problems with my iPhone. I am try to restore it to 5.1 and on the screen where it says "Waiting for iPhone", the screen will just show iTunes error 9. I already tried to uninstall (All Apple products on my Windows --- in order) and re-install iTunes (with PC restart) and I am still getting the same error.
ivebeen tryin to unlock my iphone all day with recovery mode and cant seem to get anywhere. now the device isnt being reconiced on my computer how can i fix this?
Since 3 days I try to restore my iphone 4s in itunes but it does not work. It started with the problem that I did not get connection to the mobile net..... so I tried to restore it in itunes 10.6.1 with firmware 5.1.I followed all advices (no firewall, no virus detection, change hosts)
My Iphone needed to be restore according to itunes. But it was not able to restore due to error 28. I took my phone to a seller who opened my phone but he was not able to fix it. After that I find out that my warranty was lost and apple can not replace my phone although it is in the 1 year warranty. How can I fix it in order to be able to use my phone now since apple will refuse to fix it because it was opened by someone else.
My iPhone 4 suddenly went black. Now it won't turn back on, it's says to plug in to iTunes and that I need to restore my device. But when I restore my device, it gives error 21. I have the latest version of iTunes and the latest update on my PC. The support page isn't very useful, as I keep getting error 21. What to do?
I'm using an iphone 4. I've the latest version of itunes, and i was using 5.0 firmware. Later i downloaded the latest firmware version and while i was restoring an UNKNOWN ERROR (14) occured and currently my phone is in recovery mode.
We went to Walnut Creek Store to take a look at our freezing iphone. They restored it and said when we plug it in select Set up new phone, the problem is when we plugged it in we did not get any notification stating that it was a "new" phone. I then tried to restore it myself using itunes and partially through the process I get a dialog error saying, Iphone "Iphone" could not be restored. An Unknown error occurred(14). The only thing we get on it now is the plug into Itunes picture on the front but when we plug it into itunes we cant do anything.
Im trying to restore my iphone 3G, i used itunes to restore it so it downloaded the iOS, after that it gives me the error 1015, when i read about the error then it tells me that i was downgrading, but how come since i used itunes to restore? why didnt it automatically provide me with the latest software made perfectly for the iPhone?
I could not start my Iphone 3GS, The home screen show the icon on itunes & USB cable. During restoring process it show the error number 28. What is the problem with this phone? The iphone is factory unlock & I have been using it since one & half year. I have updated the Operating system thrice. [url]...
A few days ago my Iphone 5 screen went black and would not turn on or anything but it would still vibrate and if i held down the home button the little siri sound would go off. This had happened once before a short while ago and i just let the phone die all the way then charged it and it worked fine so that's what i did this time. When it came back on this time though, it was still just black but it would also be flashing the apple logo.
I tried a bunch of things that people were suggesting online and watched youtube vidoes but nothing seemed to work, also every once in a while it would go to the lock screen and i swiped and pushed home and stuff and nothing would happen it just said it was searching where it would usually say verizon. Once while the screen was doing this i held power and the home button which is what many of these youtube videos said to do and it worked, telling me to connect it to itunes for the recovery process.
Once it was connected to itunes i tried to update it to ios8 and it seemed to be working at first but then it said unkown error and when i tried to restore it the same thing happened, i tried both of these multiple times with the same result.
So yesterday I was restoring my iPhone 5S from 7.0.4 to 7.1.1 on my Windows 8 system and it got stuck at around 20-30%, I waited an hour or two and it didn't move, so I disconnected the iPhone assuming it doesn't matter if the OS will be corrupted since I want to restore, when I tried another restore it started giving me Error 14, and seems to show the error around the same percentages I disconnected it while it first restored.
I tried downloading the IPSW again from the internet about 4 times from different places too, when I try to let iTunes download it it just says the file was corrupted when the download finishes (tried 5 times) I tried turning off ALL security on my computer, I even uninstalled AVG and turned off Windows firewall, I also tried all the USB ports. when all that failed I got my old computer out of the basement and plugged in it, updated iTunes and what not then tried to restore, and it gave me the same error. This is when I started to worry this may not be something with my computer, but something with the iPhone... Did I brick my phone? What can I do??
My phone has been unusable for over 24 hours now, it just shows the connect to iTunes logo, I also tried putting it in DFU, which doesn't work.
So i got a iphone 4s from my friend he told me he was upgrading and his power went out when was upgrading to 7.1.1.He gave the iphone to me to see if i could try to fix it.It is stuck at the connect to itunes screen so when i upgrade to 7.1.2 in Itunes it stops at "Restoring Iphone Firmware" and says error 1 .If tried it on 3 different computers,I used oem cables.
I have the update Itunes
I have the latest java(i dont know if it affects)
I restarted my computer
The only i thing i have plugged in is the iphone itself( im using a laptop)windows 8.1
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.1, error 1 when restoring
Recently I jailbreak using pwnage then blackra1n/blacksn0w to unlock my iphone 3gs (3.1.2 - 05.11.07). So I decide to get one for my girlfriend same spec (3.1.2 - 05.11.07) and when I did the same process, itune gives the 1600 error during custom firmware restore. I later discovered it had a newer bootrom on this one and Untethered jailbreak (pwnage) wasn’t supported.
The iphone is currently stuck in DFU mode and unable to enter recovery mode and gives the 1600 error upon restore, I tried using new cable and switched from Mac to PC for the restore but none worked. With iREB not supporting 3gs. I am out of ideas anyone can help to restore the iphone?
I should have just used blackra1n (tethered) jailbreak and unlock it .I guess I can normal restore it to 3.1.3 and have a itouch instead if worst come to worst.In addition I have a question about blackra1n (tethered) jailbreak/unlock, I was under the assumption if I powered off I will loss the unlock, but that’s not the case on another iphone?
Im trying to update to 4.0.1 but when it is restoring the firmware it says error 1004 and it has basically bricked my phone..how can i update and get my "Phone" back ( i use the term phone loosely when it comes to apple)
