When you are trying to update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch with iTunes, you may see an alert message in iTunes that stops the update or restore process. You may also see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone or iPod touch:

The alert message in iTunes may also include one of the following numbers (but is not limited to): 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, -18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 28, -48, -50, 1002, 1011, 1013, 1015, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1608, 1609, 1611, 1612, 1639, 2009, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 9807, -9808, 9844.

You can sort this problem out with this some simple and usefull steps
Update to the latest version of iTunes

To see if you have the latest version of iTunes, open iTunes and check for updates.

* Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates
* Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates

If there is an update to iTunes available, install the update and try to restore again. If you do not have an active connection to the Internet, or your Internet security settings are configured to prevent iTunes from communicating with Apple, iTunes will alert you that the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Resolve your Internet issues and attempt to update again. If you are using Windows, see iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPod or iPhone software update server.
Restart your computer

Simply restarting the computer can clear up certain issues that could prevent you from restoring iPhone or iPod touch. After you restart, try restoring the device again in iTunes.
Open the proper ports and allow access to Apple servers

During the update and restore process, iTunes needs to contact Apple. Ensure that your computer has the following ports open and can access these servers:

* port 80
* port 443
* phobos.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com

If you experience "Error 9807", you must open access to the following VeriSign servers:

* evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
* evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com

You may need to update, properly configure, disable, or uninstall built-in firewalls and other security software to prevent interference with iTunes. For assistance with this, contact the company that supports the security software you use. If you are using proxy settings, try to restore or update without using a proxy.
USB Troubleshooting

Connect iPhone or iPod touch to a different USB port on your Mac or Windows PC. USB 2.0 ports that are built-in to the computer are preferred over a hub. If you tried connecting iPhone or iPod touch to USB ports on the front of the computer, try connecting them to rear USB ports. After doing this, try to restore the device in iTunes.
If the issue continues:

1. Remove all USB devices except the keyboard, mouse, and iPhone or iPod touch. Remove all USB hubs and connect directly to the computer.
2. Connect iPhone or iPod touch directly to the included USB cable, bypassing the dock.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Try to restore the device again in iTunes.
5. If available, test with alternative, known-good USB cables.

See Troubleshooting USB connections for additional tips related to USB connections and try to restore again after following those steps.

If the issue persists and you are using a Mac, try resetting the USB connection by following the steps in What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device, and then try restoring the device again.

If the issue persists and you are using virtualization software to run another operating system alongside Mac OS X, quit that software; it may create virtual USB ports that may be causing the issue. Or you can try to control or restrict access to USB ports while running the virtualization software.

i have an iphone 3gs 3.1.2 witch is in recovery mode and i can't restor'it, When i press Shift+Recovery to restore the 3.1.2 it says that the phone is not eligible: "The iPhone could be restored. the device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Does anyone know how to restore it??

blackra1n doesn't help, i can't jailbracke

Greu la deal... :))

Use iTunes 8.1 and restore with custom firmware 3.1.2!

Good Luck ;)

I have the exact same problem due to the iphone crashing...... heavily!

The phone was in recovery mode when I got to it but before working on it, I put it on charge for an hour. When I came back, the USB 'plug into Itunes' screen had gone and instead it appeared to be running a (kernal) script but had frozen with the last line saying :

panic: we are hanging here

I've ran blackrain, I have tried many different itune versions as well as typing /sbin/fsck -y (in order to reset the phones scripting) through Terminal under a new shell as it would logout automatically because of a bus error. In other words I have done most things including going for the direct route ie hitting restore to update to 3.1.3 but no, stays in recovery mode and chucks out a few error codes 1601,1604(being the main one), 2001.

Sooo, yeah :confused: ... anyone got any pointers?

restore to 3.1.3 and wait that's my expirence no solution yet for new version.

I wish I could but when I do try and upgrade the firmware to 3.1.3 all I get is error 23 or error 1604. This means I am stuck with a 3gs phone stuck in recovery mode.....

do u have a link for itunes 8.1 ????????



thank you

all you need is this ...
http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-16xx-a...itunes-qrt589/

does't work for 3GS !!!!!

ok look,
it's happened with me last day and succes restored (3gs v 3.1.2 stuck in restore mode after try to unlock with blackra1n) with itunes 9.0.3.15 just push restore just all.
(chaik you buttery if full charged).

when you do this itunes propose to install 3.1.3 on phone. i my case always 1604 error!!

I don't get it. Why is this so complex?

I have:

* iPhone 3GS with 3.1.3 OS
* Mac OSX 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)
* iTunes 9.0.3 (15)
* BlackRa1n for Mac

I downloaded Blackra1n and ran it. It showed me the message that it was done. My iphone 3GS was jailbroken.

But when I connected the iPhone to iTunes, it said "You will need to restore your iPhone before you can use it". When I click on the restore button, it tells me the software will be downloaded in 10 hours! (I am on a 100 MBPS broadband connection).

So I cancelled the restore button and disconnected the iPhone.

Now, when I reconnect the iPhone in iTunes it tells me my SIM Card is unsupported and it doesn't connect me to iTunes store.

What now?

I want to:

- Jailbreak
- Unlock
- Start using

Which software should I use? Is jailbreak different from unlock? Which URL should I download from (google is full of bloody confusing tools and paraphernalia!) Do I need 3.1.3 or should I go back to 3.1.2? Many tools such as "pwnage" either work on Windows or support only 3.1.2.

Would love to have some pointers to a step by step guide with specific URLs.

Thanks!

@pkiula: If you have an iPhone 3GS and updated the firmware officially to 3.1.3 through iTunes, then there is no way to jailbreak it or to downgrade it to 3.1.2. You can look into the options: If you see a modem firmware higher than 05.11.07 (5.12 or something) then it is confirmed. This is what I learned until now. You will have to wait until the next firmware with the new iPhone comes out and the hackers (Dev team or Geohost) will release a new jailbreak. Sorry for the bad news.
