iPhone 5C will not boot. Restore attempts give error code 2015

Phone will not boot and displays slowly flashing apple icon. Will not reset using power+home buttons.


After attempting restore using 3 different macs with no luck I still get error code 2015 when restore attempts to access the phone.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

Yes, that error code is not listed on the support page but it is a common problem when you do a search. The only suggestions I have seen are.

  1. Take it to the store for repair.
  2. Use PurpleRestore (I prefer not to go that route)
  3. Recycle the phone. (Really! It is a travel phone that worked fine a couple of months ago.)


iTunes will find the phone but can't restore or update it.
