I was trying to update the latest software FOR my IPHONE 4 but it failed and now I can't restore original software on my phone. I have tried it many times but it comes up with the same message as "The iphone "IPhone" cannot be restored an uknown error occured (1)".
Can any one suggest anything please?
iPhone 4, iOS 5
Did you try to connect in recovery mode to restore? iOS: Unable to update or restore
I did try to connect in recovery mode to restore, in fact it starts software reinstalling process and half way through the installation it comes up with the error message.
I don't know what to do.
Still error 1? If your phone has modified software and you're trying to restore to a different version of the iOS, we can't help you here, due to the Terms of Use of these forums, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed.
You'll have to search the Internet for solutions in this case.
okay so I had the very same problem with my phone. Maddening, I tried and re-tried tried and re-tried, I removed my sim car and tried again, it errored me again, I tried again, finally on another attempt it started to restore software, message read: "verifying software with apple."
message read again: " restoring firmware" and it crashed out again, and at one point no longer even displayed the serial number; came up as "na"
so I reinstalled my sim card and tried it again, thinking it would re-detect something and wouldn't you know it, it failed me again.
haha
I tried it again and wouldn't you know it it bloody worked. I had given up went to finish my laundry with it plugged still and came back to see that it had actually recovered.
bottom line: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW OR WHY!! so with all that I still couldn't give you a quick fix reply. except possibly remove your sim let it totally not recognize it. and try reinserting your sim and see what happens.
Error keeps reoccurring while I try to restore my original Iphone 4 software
