You could try this fix for the same error on the iPhone 4 update to 4.2.1:

I am having a similar problem. I just tried to update to 4.3.1 and now I am stuck in a need to restore, cannot be restored error (-1).

Any thoughts?

I got the same exact error ! Im panicing here, tried hard reset, dont know whats wrong, i also got 3g 64 gig version. I tried deleting the gs files in host with notepad, but same error . I tried restarting computer, i dont know what else to do, i got a pc with win 7.

Now it seem to work again, big inhale ! I dont know what happen, but i deleted gs line completly, and restarted computer once again. Thanks for help ! And pls dont let this happen again ! 🙂

Seem we cant rely on the new update if u got 64 gig ? now im afraid to update 😟

Ipad 2 32G 3G - I had this after updating my 3 hour old ipad. This solution worked many many thanks.

In that file 'hots' I dont seem to have anything with gs.apple.

Any thoughts on what im doing wrong?

It finally restored. Seems it may have been a ZoneAlarm problem. It restored after I shut ZA down. A new problem has arisen all my saved games and settings are gone. Are they not saved in the backup? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm another owner of a 3G 64gb iPad 2 that did not handle the 4.3.1 upgrade at all well. After being stuck in that need to restore, error loop for a while, I found this thread. The fix above did let me restore, but like the above poster, all of my additional apps were gone. The thought of reinstalling and reorganizing the many, many apps I have did not make me happy. So I selected the restore from backup command again. It proceeded through the 12 minute restore, but is time it's continuing on with a sync that looks like it's reinstalling my apps without me having to select them. Time will tell if the folders will come back.

So Id suggest immediately running the restore from backup again to see if this time it continues on to the app sync.

I just spent over an hour at the genius bar for nothing! I should have looked here first. Those guys had no idea and couldn't fix the problem. They were going to give me a new iPad but didn't have my model in stock.
This fixed my problem. (hosts file edit)
Apple should train their genius guys to read the forums 🙂

Tried editing the host file, tried reloading itunes and mobile device support, tried on my macbook. Still no love 😟

Any other ideas? to get out of restore ---> Error 1013 loop?

Anybody have any other ideas?

I had the same problem, error 1013 upon upgrading to ios 4.3.1. Following the suggestion from this thread by commenting the line with gs.apple.com in file 'hosts' without rebooting the computer, I was able to to restore(upgrade to 4.3.1) without 1013 error. The remaining is to restore backup, apps, and rearrange 100+ apps.

Finally got it. Had to create a new account and sync to a new user. Restoring last backup now... looks like its working. What a P.I.T.A.
