1602 and 1604 errors when updating to 1.1.3 firmware

Tried both of the two preceding ideas to no avail. I'll try putting it into recovery mode tomorrow.

Darn it!

I had waited a whole month for the 1.1.3 firmware to bring life back to my bricked(by 1.1.2) Touch.

So s....a...d , it brings brickedness!

I also had the 1604 error when upgrading to 1.1.3 and all restore attempts would fail with the same error. I tried it several times and even deleted the update file from Documents and Settings. I'm using Windows XP Professional and iTunes is located on my SATA drive. The initial install and upgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 worked with no problems. I right clicked on the folder I installed iTunes in and selected properties. Then I selected Share this folder on a network and Allow Network users to change my files. The restore worked fine after that and I was on version 1.1.3 with all my previous contacts and bookmarks intact.

I had the 1602 error when upgarding to 1.1.3 and tried exactly what Nuby1Canuby suggested ("I right clicked on the folder I installed iTunes in and selected properties. Then I selected Share this folder on a network" w/o changing any permissions) and the issue was resolved. So I just wanted to confirm this is probably a good fix, and it is also very simple.

I've got the exact same problem.

Download and restore 1.1.2 (shift-click the restore button to select file) if you want a working iPod again.

As for upgrading to 1.1.3, I get the same errors as others are reporting. As someone else said, I'm also a software developer with some experience and this looks a lot like a problem with the client i.e. iTunes + updater.

What I find worrying is this obviously botched release has gone uncommented-upon by Apple. Perhaps if we all post to Slashdot/Reg etc we might suddenly see some action.

I too have errors when trying to restore ipod software... I tried many reboots of computer, services, itunes. One thing I do not know how to do is getting back in 1.1.2 firmware. Can somebody tell me the way to do this ?

I haven't even updated to 1.1.2 yet b/c of the problems people were having with that! Defo not paying for the upgrade if everyone's having trouble with the firmware.

Please see [Error 1604 When restoring iPhone in iTunes|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307007].

Also, when doing large upgrades on your iPod ensure that all USB devices are disconnected and that the iPod is attached to a USB port off the motherboard (usually at the back of the box).

I had this problem on my Touch. My PC initially downloaded the update, which error'd upon install, and then my Touch wasnt even visible in iTunes etc and was in recovery mode.

I solved this by installing the latest iTunes on a different computer (my work PC). After install, connected the Touch which was immediately recognised as being in recovery mode and was restored successfully. It also then downloaded the 1.1.3 update and installed it wothout a problem. After this I returned it to my home PC, plugged it in (it worked fine and was recognised by my PC all ok) and then purchased the upgrade and it's been fine since.

Hope this helps.

Yup, seen that, read that. Doesn't work. Apple client software and/or update itself is flawed.

For the person asked about getting back to 1.1.2 -

0. Shutdown iTunes.

1. Put your iPod into restore mode by press & hold the "off/on" & "home" buttons until the thing switches off. Then press & release "off/on" whilst holding down "home" and it will come up with the "connect me up" screen.

2. Launch iTunes. It will stick a dialog up saying something like "I've detected an iPod in restore mode". Ok this dialog.

3. Hold down SHIFT and click RESTORE. A file selection dialog will appear.

4. Browse to the location of the 1.1.2 restore file and select it. If you don't have one, google for it. It's called something like iPod1,1 1.1.2<hex digits>_Restore.ipsw

5. Wait while it mucks about with your iPod. Eventually, it will come back to life.

Hope this helps.

Try to go there, it worked for me :

I have been trying to update my software and have been getting the same error as everyone else. I went ahead and restored my itouch to the original settings and when I did that it automatically loaded the 1.1.3 update. Now I have to load all my music, movies and pictures again. It's a pain but I am just glad that it is fixed.
