error 1669

Hi Guys,


I tried updating my software to iOS 7 and I encountered an error 1669? My phone is now stuck to restore mode and cannot use my phone.


Any ideas?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2

well after 4+ hours of chat/phone support with t-mob, then Apple, Apple sending me a new phone due to hardware failure.


I had not done any updates for a few weeks on my phone, nothing new installed, no physical or water damage. just a case of hardware failure. hopefully then new phone when it comes will work ok.


iphone 5s , attempted recovery mode due to no signal ( stuck at "searching") then receive error 1669 three times. at the "firmware being updated" portion of recovery


three being the magic number Apple assigned for determining hardware failure.
