I bought an unlocked iPhone 5 today. I inserted my sim card, and the phone didn't ask me for the pin, nor did it change its network status to anything else but "searching". For several hours I waited, restarted the phone, toggled plane mode on and off, and tried a few other things I read up on on the internet. None of them worked, the network status still said "searching". So, I decided to try and update the device OS, from iOS 6 to 7.1.2. At first, I tried doing this OTA, so from within the iPhone`s settings. It downloaded the software for about 10 minutes or so, only to after a while, emerge with a message saying that the update failed. This happened several times. I then read a few other posts online, and was recommended to update the device via iTunes. So, I tried this, where, again, it downloaded the software, did some other things such as extracting the software, and then, somewhere in the process, a message popped up on iTunes saying the update had failed. The phone is now still in update mode however, with only the Apple-Logo being displayed on the phone, along with a half-full status bar. Â
What should I do? Should I hard restart the phone? Will this brick it, or is it already bricked? And how can I get it to find a network?
I just updated my phone with the new release and it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen... any ideas... I have tryed the steps about reboot ing my pc ect... nothing works!
So about 20 minutes ago I connected my iPhone to my computer and iTunes prompted me to update it. I accepted, but as it was applying the updates some type of error popped up. Long story short, it failed to update and now when I turn on my phone it's frozen with the screen showing the USB cord & iTunes icons. I've tried: -Shutting it down by holding the sleep/power button-Shutting it down by holding the Home + sleep/power button-All of my USB ports on my computer-Reinstalling iTunes As soon as I turn it on, it briefly shows the Apple icon then it goes back to the same screen with the iTunes/USB icons. When I connect it to my computer it makes the connection sound but it won't register on iTunes.
I've tried to update both my iphone 4 and 4s both of which was unsuccessful, now all I have on my phones screens are the itunes logo and the usb as if it wants me to attached to itunes! when i do neither of the phones will show up on the itunes screen on my computer ! as if it wont recognise them, went into the apple store in town they want to charge me 5 pounds to sort it which i think is a joke since both phones were fine before this update !
i tried to update my iphone and it gave an unknown error message with code (1015) which rendered the phone useless unless i restore. then i tried restoring it but gave the same error message after its almost done. please help me on how to restore my iphone even if its without the update.
I tried to update my iPhone 4 (on ethernet internet) and iTunes said that it failed to update.
I tried to turn on/restart my phone, but all that comes up is a "connect to itunes" image message.. I have my phone plugged in but iTunes is not registering it..Â
a couple of days ago I tried to do an update on my W995a via the SEUS program (latest version used, downloaded the day I did the update), It got to about 90% then stopped and stayed at 90% for about 2 - 4 minutes then it came up with Update Failed, I've retried the process a few times and all have failed, I've used the repair feature in the PC Suite program to try to fix the phone but it fails about about 90% as well, I had no issues or software glitches with the phone before attempting the Update. The phone now will not load the OS but instead just sits there with the keypad lights on. Is there a solution to this problem? As this is my main phone and the SEUS program has broken it.
Just went to update my iphone 4 (32gb) from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 to be greeted yet again with 'update failed, unknown error' followed by iphone in recovery mode.Now, my 3GS did this on 4.0 and 4.0.1, my 4 has done this on 4.0.1 and now 4.0.2.
I dont mind, I have backups but I also have 16gb+ of audio. What is going on? is this something with my laptop or a fault with ios4 updates? Im running latest, 32 bit version of itunes on windows 7.I've tried restoring and updating twice now unsuccesfully.
So, after I updated to ios 5.1 my iPhone 4 has some problems I never kinda seen before. I own it for more than a year . While at home or any other area, good signal,has a bumper, while speaking with friends I get the Called failed problem. Tried reset network settings, even I restored the firmware ... same . Happens a few times a day..
I applied the latest update to my phone and it failed.iTunes suggested that I restore the device.The restore operation failed as well.Now my iPhone is no longer detected iTunes.It does not appear as a removeable drive or camera to Windows.Online troubleshooting failed to help.The only reaction that I observed is that Windows informes me that I had connected a high speed device to a slow (USB 1.0) port and suggested connecting it to another port.Next I am going to take it to the AT&T store where I got it and see if they can help.
I recently tried to update the software on my iphone 4s through itunes, it appeared to be almost complete when I got an error message saying the update had failed. Now my phone will only load up to the screen saying I have to connect to itunes (pic of a USB pointing to the itunes logo), problem is that now itunes doesn't recognise the phone at all. I have tried all the troubleshooting ideas for itunes not recognising the phone but nothing has worked - USB connection is fine, have reinstalled itunes, apple mobile device program is working properly.. When connecting or disconnecting by plug the computer recognises it (makes the noise to say something's been plugged in/unplugged) however the phone doesn't show up in Computer either. Clearly I need to restore the phone but with itunes not recognising it?
I just bought my iphon last night & tried doing it`s first update this morning. I got an error message that the update failed & now my iphone only shows a pic of a usb cable with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo.I already tried holding down the on off buton & the home button like the instructions say. Problem is that when the instructions say I should be at the part where itunes is again recognizing my iphone, my itune is not recognizing my iphone. So I am stuck. I follow the instrustions, but the resluts are different, so I can`t continue to the next step. Very frustrated, as the nearest Apple store is over an hour`s drive away.
I tried to update my iPhone software (after successfully backing up to iCloud, and then successfully updating iTunes software) but got a 1604 error message. The phone is stuck in recovery mode, and all attempts to restore the phone have resulted in failure. I keep getting the same error message. Basically, the phone never gets past "preparing to restore." I am linking my iPhone 4 to a PC Windows XP Professional, with up-to-date software. This is the third time I've tried (and failed) to update the iPhone software, though the other two times I was able to restore. This time nothing seems to be working.
Just downloaded the update 5.1.1 and tried to install it. But the install failed and now my iphone 4 is frozen with the itunes logo and the usb logo. What should I do?
So I haven't been able to update my iphone, I get a 3194 error after loading the ipsw file. When I run a diagnostic I get a Secure link to iTunes Store failed error, which I think causes the problem. I have tried the netsh winsock reset fix, and still no results, as well as looking for LSP conflict.
Detailed Description ...... The network connection could not be established. Last successful iTunes Store access was 2012-05-22 16:54:25.
my computer always ends up not responding while trying to update the software to ICS. I've tried to update the phone for many times and always ends with my computer become not responding. and i've tried to update with 2 different computers and get the same result.
I have a Nokia N97 with Map Version 0.1.24.114 installed (clicking About in Maps also shows v3.03 so I am not sure which one is the one i should refer to). I get a text notification from Nokia saying I have a map update so I check software update and indeed version 3.04(165) is there but I cannot update> Please advise. My navigation and turn-by-turn guidance (as well as weather, lonely planet and events) all work but I want to have the latest maps version for accuracy.
I have just updated the new software on my n97, it downloaded and updated fine then it kept coming up with memory full on C drive, delet some memory. After about an hour trying to reach the settings menu to delete some data off that drive, i thought turning the phone on and off might help but i was wrong it now comes up with phone start up failed. contact the retailer. Can i fix this myself or should i just take my phone back to the shop and does my guarantee cover this seems it was a nokia update?
Attempted to update to 3.03 last week, recieved the message update failed, didn't have time to sort it then. I have since updated to firmware v2.1, done a hard reset and reformatted my device. Attempting an over the air update get the message "update failed"! Only app I have listed as installed is the ovi store client.
After many attempts backing up, I have finally done so......But when PC companion is 'preparing' to update..it doesn't. It says Installation Error...'unable to install or start phone software update componnets'. 'the update of software failed'. I have tried again
I just tried to update my MT15i using SEUS 2.11.11.21 to FW 4.0.2.A.0.42.It failed.1st try:Loaded battery (99%)Switched off phone Took out battery for about 5 minutes and put it back in.Started SEUS, held return button, proceeded as required...Firmware download seemed OK.Actual update failed near the end.Phone does not start up - just displays warning message
2nd try:I'm not sure about the battery: I had the phone plugged in for five hours but as it just looped through the power on sequence and showed me the warning message again and again I really do not know whether there was any power in it.Took out battery for about half an hour.Took out SIM and SD.Put battery back in Uninstalled SEUS Rebooted PC Installed SEUS Rebooted PC Else as above...
Using PC Companion I have progressed to what I can only assume is the end of the preparation phase after 3 hours, the progress bar is complete; and then I get this meaningless message that the update failed.
This is very frustratiing as there is not much clue about what caused the failure. If it is because of a missing component, as pointed out already, why can PC Companion not check at the start of the marathon preparation that everything is in place and we will not waste so much time connected for nothing.
I have tried SUS and that fails because Windows can't find S1Boot with that remarkably phone procedure. I have looked at downloading S1Boot, as suggested, however then there are warnings on Warranty. Does PC Compantion/SUS download not contain S1Boot?
I have a XPERIA X10 mini/pro and I just installed PC Companion on my computer. After the installation the SW indicated that there is an update available. Unfortunately I get a message:"The update failed". The failure occurs at "Prepare" during the "starting update engine" phase.
I got a notification yesterday on my sony Xperia Z3, asking for an update using Sony PC Companion, i did it and then it said that a network problem has occured, and from that point on, when i try to power the phone it says " the software update failed, make sure the phone is connected to the computer and try again "  I tried the "power button + volume up" when charging, the phone started powering on and off all the time and after an hour it got really hot ! I was so scared so I unplugged it.
