Well went to the istore in my local town only to be told they dont deal with phones, although he did connect my ip4 to his mac and hay presto error 1600. So no help from them told me I had to go to a larger istore nearest one to me is miles away. Any suggestions as to whether I should send my phone off? or go through the pain of phoning apple only to be told to uninstall itunes then install again. Any help would be apprieciated.

It will not restore. It stuck in reccovery mode but no iTunes with USB symbol. When I hook the USB into iPad and IMac, iTunes says" iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used in iTunes".

So I hit ok, then Restore. It loads, but iPad never lights up and it fail with an error code 37. I'm running Mountain lion and the newest iTunes. No security software!!!! Also! iPad was working before updating to 5.1.1.

hey,

This following procedure worked for me. (3gs, ios 6.1.3, stucked in recovery mode with black screen)

while restoring your iphone error 1601 occurs, close the itunes. then using tiny umbrella(6.14.00) start tss server and just click fix recovery. Then open itunes and restore it again. now, instead of error 1601, error 11 comes.

now, open tiny umbrella and click exit recovery!

done!
