Hi Everybody,
My iphone 4s is giving me the searching... problem and it fixes itself for 5 mins and goes back to searching... After yesterday i have not been able to fix it at all and i thought it would be a good idea to restore but itunes is giving me error one meaning i cant restore my phone or use it at all... Can anybody help me?
iPhone 4S
Try to Restore iPhone on different computer. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.
Are you restoring the latest version of iOS?
A few other things to try:
Update iTunes, change USB port, restart computer, possibly uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
Yes I am trying to restore it to the latest version of iOS. And I use mac meaning i dont think i can uninstall itunes. It gives me the error during firmware restoration
I have the exact same problem while restoring my iphone 5
Did you ever find a solution?
Hey i have the Same Problem with my iPhone 4S and 4. the restore Ends at 60 % with error 1 (not -1).
I reinstall iTunes, download iOS 7.0.3 as ipsw and No success :(
I Think that is a problem of the iTunes or firmware versions :/.
Apple Please Help us!
You most likely have a hardware problem (I am assuming you have never jailbroken your iPhone or rolled back the OS). Make a Genius Bar appointment.
No i Never Jailbreak my iphones or try some downgrades. But it is very strange that two iphones at the Same Time have the same problem :/
Baseband chip?
Some other posaible solution ways??
have you managed to fix this? i have the same problem
I had the same problem:
"Searching..". error, then it cycled through 3G no 3G then searching...
Tried updating software... no luck
so tried to restore from recovery mode
Then got first "error 1" at the firmware stage (after trying all ports and ca 10 times to restore on two different computers with multiple resets and software updates etc)
Then I held the home button until the "connect to itunes screen" went away whilst plugged in which brought up iTunes
and the error changed to "error 3", but still stalled at the firmware stage
Then I cycled through the ports again and the very back one worked! Hooray! Points for persistence.
I now have a factory restored phone which has connected to the network!
Wizardry!
pleaseeeee how do you cycle through the ports idgi please help im desperate
just move the usb connection from one port to another, I honestly did this about 15 times
seriously it works? even with 2 usb ports? did you try on a computer, also my lock button has broken do i need this to fix it?
I have 4 ports, but I imagine it will work. Is your phone in recovery mode now? Can you hold down the home button?
yeah it's in recovery mode now nothing happens when I hold down the home button
I have this problem with my 4s not JB!!! First "searching" issue and then I tried tu update it to 7.0.4 and got error 1. I've tried the ports and usb stuff and nothing hapends. Stilll stucked on recovery mode. Any ideas???
ios 7 restore error 1
