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.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhave recently been having few issues with my phone, and noticed im still running the original firmware R1CB001.Installed SEUS, follows all intrustions, gets to where it has progress line for installing the firmware.the update starts but after about 30secs, i hear the sound from my pc as if ive just unplugged something from usb and then few seconds later as if something has been plugged back into usb, then the bar just jumps to the enter and says update complete.Turned phone on again, checks software version and still shows as being same as it originally was.Does anyone have any ideas on whats happening and any possible fix?
View 7 Replies View RelatedNever 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."
