I have the same error 29 here in Ireland. Happened during an update of a 4s from iOS 7 to iOS 7.0.3


I have tried to restore both via a PC and a Mac. Neither works. Fails to update and retore 75% through the restore.


Apple want me to bring it to a foreign country to get the phone serviced!

They have sold 400,000 iphones here but have no one to service them!


So I now have a lovely white paperweight.

Thanks apll for f'king up my iphone during an update. Looks like I am not alone in this issue.


Get you finger out and fix this.

Just fixed my error 29 problem on iphone 4s. The apple support is useless. Went to the service centre and said they could not fix this problem. Did some research and found out it is a hardware problem and most likely it is a battery problem. So those who have this problem go try to get your battery replaced. It works for me. Buy online or something for 20 bucks. After replacing just restore again. Hope this helps. I know the frustration but dont give up yet.

Yahoo!!!!! It worked. I also changed my battery a while ago. Luckily I had an extra battery my friend gave to me when he broke his iPhone (maybe you guys have your old battery), I found a knife since I have screwdrivers but I strongly recomend you to find specific screwdrivers and then I youtube the video how to change the battery. Voilà... Works like charm now, thanks for advice
