IPhone :: ITunes Could Not Restore My IPhone Due To An Unknown Error (1)
May 25, 2012
During the restore from iTunes I get, almost at the end of the restore, the message that iTunes could not restore my iPhone due to an unknown error (1).
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, On my Mac as well as on a PC
My iphone 4 says connect to itunes. When i connect to itunes it asks me to restore. When I get to the end of restore unknown error (-1) comes up and it goes back to connect to itunes
I have an iPhone 4 and it says a message that I have to restore the thing for it to receive messages and calls so I followed the warning message and when I restore my iphone the progress bar stuck in the middle and itunes says it could not restore the iPhone because an unknown error occurs error (2). My itunes has the latest version, no problem but that unknown error (2) itunes is saying. I searched the net for solutions but I can't find any.
after dropping my Iphone 4 on the floor it can't connect to my PC, the error i am getting in Itunes is "Itunes was not able to establish connection to this iphone, caused by unknown error 0xE8000001". Itunes suggest to go into an applestore and get it solved but since third party has replaced the screen will apple not touch it....I have tred to uninstall itunes after closing down a few apple files via "task manager" and hard restored the Iphone but the phone will not acctivate, only get to the screen saying "connect to itunes". when i plug in a fully functional USB cable in a fully functional USB plug in my PC (windows 7, 64bit) does the phone connect and disconnect with the PC a few times, sometimes it keep on connecting/disconnecting but when the phone able to establish connection do i get a box saying "error 0xE8000001" and when clicking on the phone can i see its charging the battery but no possibilities to make a firmware restore or anything els. (have only the option to "eject" the iphone). is it possible to go one more step back than "hard restore" so the phone need to reinstall all hardware ect ect?
I have an iPhone 3g with ios of 4.1 and I've got an error of The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An Unknown error occurred (2003) after trying to restore my iphone. I'd tried several times but same result appeared. this is my only phone and I need it so badly.
My phone is stuck in an endless cycle of failing to restore and update. Unknown error (1) keeps occurring. I have done everything on the recommended list.
i tunes said "cannot identify i phone unplug and plug again. to update.It was then downloading software for 17 minutes..and then froze with a usb arrow itunes logo on the screen.I have tried to restore and am getting "cannot restore unknown error has occurred 21"
I have iPhone 4G when I connect to iTunes its showing error and error is "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone beacause an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)".
I forgot passcode on my iphone5 and tried to restore it through itunes on my PC. However it gave me an error message saying that that my phone could't be restored due to an unknown error. Now my phone does't turn off and it doesn't sync with itunes.
i have tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem. i downloaded tiny umbrella, i added permissions in the firewall,i installed the latest itunes, i added and removed lines from my hosts file, and it still just gives me unknown error 3194 when updating my phone and secure link to itunes store failed when running diagnostics. i have two rules in my firewall at this point and i'm pretty sure apple could steal just about anything off of my computer by now with all the access ive given it. i run as administrator, no cigar. same problem. i've re-started my computer al of 12 times now and still not working. here's what the diagnostics is giving me:
Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) LENOVO 4186 iTunes 10.6.0.40 QuickTime 7.7.1
[code]....
it says itunes is not enabled on fire wall but i beg to differ. like i mentioned earlier: two rules have been created to allow it.it says "network connection timed out" then says "Last successful iTunes Store access was 2012-03-25 11:56:05." thats only a minute before the diagnostics test. dunno if that means anything to you guys, but to me it means itunes has fallen off the rocker.
There is this 2G iPhone that is (almost?) bricked.
As far as I know, the phone did work until recently, was not dropped, but suddenly got stuck at this screen:
The owner is not computer savvy, and is unsure whether the firmware has been updated (by chance or not).
Right now the phone is stuck at the "Restore needed" screen. What have I done so far: Put it in DFU, iTunes finds is, and tells me it needs to be restored; I have downloaded the 1.1.4, 2.2, and 3.1.2 firmwares for the 2G; I have tried to SHIFT+RESTORE many times, and every single time it ends up giving me error 23.
I tried all of the above-mentioned firmwares, have tried with iTunes 9.0.3, 8.2 and 7.5 MANY times - with the same result: Error 23.
There is something interesting: when I tap the "i" on the screen, it shows a windows that says: IMEI: Unknown, and ICCID: Unknown
I have searched online for a whole day now, and people say that this is related to a hardware problem with the modem; others said that it could be fixed by flashing w/ older firmware and older iTunes version - both of which I have tried.
So bottom line is that after all I have tried I am still nowhere. And ideas what else I could try?
I was trying to update my iphone 4 to iOs 5...at the point where my phone should have been restored I received the message "iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occured (-1)" I have tried to disable my firewall and restart my computer. I have Windows 7. I have retried numerous times to restore to factory settings...the only change in result is (1) not (-1).
