IPhone :: IPad Could Not Be Restored Because The Firmware File Is Not Compatible
Jun 13, 2012
i have the latest 3rd gen iPad 32GB and iTunes 10.6. I have the IOS 6 beta downloaded on my windows laptop. I had someone add my UDID to there apple developers acount. However when i press Shift+Restore and select the beta file a i get an error sayng 'iPad could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.how to restore my iPad to the IOS 6 beta file i have downloaded?
I have an iPhone 5 GSM a1428. I am trying to update to IOS 8, and I have the right file, and I know how to do it. Also I have registered my UDID to get the download. Whenever I hit the file of ipsw, there is an error that says the firmware file is not compatible. I have tried numerous things to get it to work.
Info: iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1, Trying to update to IOS 8
i have been trying to update my iphone and i am getting the error that my firmware file is not compatible. i have also been trying, unsuccessfully, to update to the newest versions of itunes. my phone software is 4.3.3, trying to update to 5.1.1 i am using a pc with windows 7 professional
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.
Never 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."
I have just upgraded to a 4s and i am trying to back up my iphone 4 before i swap the data after attemting to update to ios5 on my iphone 4 i get the error message 'unable to update my iphone as the firmware file is not compatible' what does this mean and what can i ndo to back up my phone?
However, I am starting to develop an app for iOS, and want to use my iPhone to test, so I need to update the iOS to the latest version (5.1) When they unlocked it, they rolled it back to iOS 4.3 However, when I try via the automatic method in iTunes, it fails. And when I try downloading the file (iPhone2,1_5.1_9B176_Restore.ipsw) and either updating or restoring using it, I get the following error message: "The iPhone xxx could not be restored because the firmware is not compatible" I tried turning on the phone into recovery mode (holding down home button and reconnecting) and tried it that way, but it still doesn't work.
I'm really bad about updating my iPhone4 to my desktop but decided that today would be there day! Now it's giving me a warning saying "The Phone cannot be updated because the firmware file is not compatible".
Ive been trying to update my iPhone 4 OS. To 5 It is 4.3.3 now Each time I've tried, I get the error that my firmware is not compatible. I've tried to restore- first-- same error code
Deleted preferences on my computer (pc) and tried again--same error
I was trying to update my iphone and it told me that my firmware was not compatible. What do I need to do? It also appears that I am not able to download the newest version of itunes. I click on download, and nothing seems to happen. I am using a pc.
I'm trying to update the software for my iphone 4 to 5.1 and after 45 minutes, a box appears that says could not update software iphone 4 because firmware not compatible.
We know there is the mobilesafari exploit which allows untethered start-up for new bootrom 3GS and iPod touch devices. There is a good chance the geohot has found the same exploit. Now that Apple have it narrowed down to mobilesafari, will they not try to find the exploit themselves before releasing any significant update?
There is a video file (MP4. H.264,AAC) which is normally support by my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 both devices. However when I sync it with my iPad, there is no problem with it at all. The video could play on iPad normally but when i sync the same file with my iPhone on the same laptop and same iTunes database, it is not working! And iTunes pop up a notification thats tell me "the file format is not support for yout iPhone".
It is the matter because of the different iOS version? My iPad 2 is operating iOS 5.1.1 and my iPhone 4 is operating under iOS 4.3.3.
