Restore error S3 firmware


Hello, wondering if anyone can help me. I’ve never seen this before.

Just used the new S3 firmware to initiate a restore (s3 38mm cellular). It failed and I received the following error; “unable to place device into recovery mode from Recovery mode.” Screen grab attached.

Any ideas?

Hi, sorry for delay, been busy. I'm trying to paste the log but forum won't let me (I'm a new member and it thinks the log is a link... I need to post 10 times).

The end of the log is this though;


[info] Device ecid 00046d601ad08026 disconnect detected!
[info] Waiting for device arrival (timeout 20.000000 seconds)
[erro] Unable to discover device mode. Please make sure a device is attached.
[erro] Device did not reconnect in DFU or recovery mode. Possibly invalid iBSS. Reset device and try again.
[erro] Unable to place device into recovery mode from Unknown mode
[done] Operation finished!

I get "possibly invalid iBSS" error.

Hi, thanks for response. This may be a lost cause.

It's definitely not the wrong firmware - I have tried them all and the incorrect firmware gives a specific "firmware unsuitable" error. The error I'm getting now completes the log;

[erro] Unable to send iBEC component: Unable to upload data to device
[erro] Unable to send iBEC to device
[erro] Unable to place device into recovery mode from Recovery mode
[done] Operation finished!

No idea what the issue is. Tried the usual - different cables / PC / Nothing seems to work.

Ok, just wanted to close the is thread now. Managed to solve the issue and I thought I’d post back for others who had a similar issue. The only thing I did was update the apple software on windows and something then seems to click into place. Usually I ensure things are updated but for whatever reason this passed me by. All restored, no errors.
