iPhone 6s can’t be restored

Iphone model 6S

Os version 15.7.3


The iphone can not be anymore restaured (factory reset) through Itunes procedure.


Details:

After the software downloads the Os to the computer and installs it to the iphone (recovery iphone mode state)

The screen shows this message:

Iphone Unavailable

Try in 1 hour


The screen indicates only this message, there is no other options, the clock is not visible.


When trying a second time to restore it, this message appears again.

If the phone is powered off after some time and then on, the message on screen is the same:

Iphone unavailable

Try in 1 hour


Can I do something to use it again? there is something I can do? It is possible to reinstall the Os?

Thank you for your help!

Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:

Your iPhone is locked. So, get this serviced.


Hold it Right There!


Being Locked Out...

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


No Success?

Contact Apple support:

If you cannot get the above link to work, then contact Apple Support.

Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through.

Hi Raicya

Thank you for your answer but my phone is locked differently:


The screen shows a message and nothing else:


iPhone unavailable

Try in 1 hour


I can’t follow the steps you indicated.


After 1 hour, the password screen option was available , then I typed a wrong password and now my phone only indicates that is unavailable, no more time indication:


iPhone Unavailable


(that’s all nothing else)

A black screen with only this sentence


If I hard reset my phone there’s no difference.
