Q: Update and restore error (48)

Hello Everyone..

 

I am using iPhone 5 and several days ago I found there is no signal in the bar and it showing Searching and No Service even full coverage is available in my location. So try to change the SIM card same error occurred. So I planned to Update 8.3 from device and got some error. So I tried from the PC too sill the error comes when it indicate restoring firmware. After that phone shows connect to iTunes icon only but cannot be updated or restore.

 

From the Internet I tried following solution but not succeed.

 

Changing USB Cables

Updated all Software.

Try iOS with External link.

 

Is there any genius to solve my problem as fast as you can please?

 

Thanking You in Advance.

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

    See this:

    If nothing works, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple

    ERROR 48 SOLVED!!!!!

    Hi,

    Updating my 4S to IOS 8.4 was not successful (no connection, no signal, no service). Recovery using Itunes gave an Error 48.

    Only fools do things over and over again and expect a different outcome.
    So there I was being a fool trying recovery after recovery as suddenly I had an idee.

    In my opinion there are 3 main factors that can go wrong: the hardware, the software and the test to make sure everything is working properly.

    Hardware suddenly broke during update? I don't think so.

    Software not OK? Not likely as the same software is already on millions devices.

    Test not OK? Probably!

    As I noticed being a fool, the Iphone was preparing, installing and testing and just before finishing gave Error 48. So the next time I tried, after the installation was finished and the progression bar for testing was about to the end, I simply pulled the connection cord with my macbook and thus with Itunes. Now the testsoftware in Itunes, couldn't tell my Iphone he was not OK and he started just like that and is working properly ever since.

    In this case, the patient was sic just because the doctor told him he was.

    Maybe, there is something somewhere not 100% Ok, but if I can make calls, read mail, surf the net, use whatever app I tried so far, it is just a perfect working Iphone to me.

    I am experiencing the same problem with my iPhone 4s.......restoring it to IOS 8.4.

    If your idea really worked out well, then please let me know the timing to unplug the device from iTunes.
