Hi, I have a 4G which I tried to update to 4.2.1. It's sim lock free so no jailbreak.
Same story, the error 1013 showed up all the time...
At the end I used my GFs Laptop (running on Windows!!!) to get it updated.

How embarrassing is that? You pay mega bucks for a free iPhone and a MacBook and at the end Bill has to help you out!? 😉

So if you are facing error 1013 just try another machine!

Dont be an evil hacker and jailbreak your iPhone or modify your hosts file 🙂 that's how.

Thought you folks would like to know that I finally fixed my iphone recovery mode 1013 error. I learned that their are two gs.apple.com servers. I found out which server I was connecting to and decided to try the other server. I added the below entry in my hosts files. I did a recovery and it worked. NOW, what on earth is going on with apple gs.apple.com server 17.112.176.11? gs.apple.com 17.151.36.30 worked for me. Keep in mind, my phone is a normal stock phone with only apple store apps. my phone is not gail broken and I do not use tiny umbrella or related utilities.Problems began with the release prior to the current one.

# Host Database

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.

127.0.0.1 localhost

255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

17.151.36.30 gs.apple.com

# 17.112.176.11 gs.apple.com

How do i fix error 1013
