Q: Error 29 will update to iOS 7. iPhone 4s, Error 29 while update to iOS 7. iPhone 4s

Thanks for the tip, not sure if the closest store, in Boulder is still there after the flood, but I'll check.

I read something about a battery issue.  My 4s is a replacement device from Verizon after my original phone had a speaker issue.  It is probably the battery in mine, too but I just left the Verizon store and they wouldn't/couldn't do anything.  They referred me back to Apple.

Just got back home after taking phone to Apple Service Store (Simply Mac) and they diagnosed my problem as the battery. Went to Verizon and they are replacing my phone under warranty. Still no phone until it us shipped to me but hopefully it will have iOS 7 already installed on it.

Hello i community i am having same problem "error 29" on my iphone 4s too, i heard some about ios 7 then i tried to update my ios 6.1.3 to it then it stcks in recovery mode, i can't get it out of this crap no jailbreak no nothing, i fell like i bricked my iphone is there any way to have my i phone 4s back please, no downgrading too "error 3194" i phone is becoming the worest device ever.....

I have the same problem after updating to ios 7 my iPhone 4S. I haven t never changed my battery, but i get the famous error 29 message. Solution please!!! My phone is useless!!!

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.

Hi guys. mine iphone 4s IOS7 was having some battery issues ( stuck at a certain percentage regardless of charge status ) . replaced with a new battery from apple and the problem is gone.

My Iphone 4S wont restore thats how it looks after about 70% of the process.http://oponepieceop.blogspot.com/2013/12/my-iphone-is-stuck.html Any Help?

Yes, here is some help. Read the information in the support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694. This provides tips for solving the problem. This was referenced in earlier posts.

Hey, I reseated the battery on the iPhone 4S and tried to restore the phone. Everything worked like it was supposed to. Hopefully this will help out any others out there who struggled like me.

I have the same problem with error 29. But I have never changed my battery before. Now I test a new battery, but I have the same problem. :-( I don´t know, what I can do to solve the problem. I tried to usw another notebook with new itunes too, but no chance. :-( Can me help somebody?

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

battry 1000%

I've been having the same problem but have found a solution disconnect the battery the reconnect it.

My phone is now up and running
