An unknown error occurred (1)

[agentelu]

Hello everybody,

I try to downgrade my iphone and receive the following error message :

The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)

Can someone help me to fix this problem ?

I use the itunes version : 7.6.0.29 and my current version of iphne firmware is : 1.1.2

Regards in advance

You are most probably (I presume) using Windows Vista.

I have two systems installed: Vista 64bit and XP 32bit. When I do restore on Vista it says "An unknown error occurred (1)" but when I do it in XP it says "An unknown error occurred (1015)".

So I think that it's just different number of error. Nothing more.
Is your restore successful after this (1) error?

I had the same problem when going from 113 to 111, almost straight after connecting to itunes and restoring unknown error (1) would come up?
i re-installed version 7.5 of itunes and all worked fine

using XP

Error (1) occurs because you did not put your phoen into DFU mode. You do not need to reinstall anything. There is restore mode, and then there is DFU mode (Device Firmware Upgrade) which bypasses the OS entirely. Here is how you put your phone into DFU mode:

Once you're in DFU mode, the error 1 will go away. You should get an error like 1015, 1011, 1013 at the end of the restore. You should not see any single digit error code or anything in the 160x range.

*1st switch your usb port
*Try turn your atomically sync off
*If it does not solve,kill the 'iTunesHelper' process then go to Dfu...

I used a download manager to download the files listed here:
iOS 5.0.1 Released – Fixes battery issues and more. Jailbreakers beware! [+Direct Download Links] | iPhoneZA | For the South African Apple Enthusiast! | iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and more| News, Tutorials, Reviews, Forums

Files to use:

iPad2,2_5.0.1_9A405_Restore.ipsw: For iPad2 WiFi + 3G version (e.g. AT&T)


I also got error (-1) after the upgrade and bricked my iPad2

I found a friend who had an Apple laptop with iTunes

He plugged my iPad into his laptop and gave him the update file to use
We put the upgrade file here: %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad and restarted iTunes and did the upgrade successfully (whew)!

@Apple: sort out your Windows problems please!

Had the same problem when un-jailbreaking (absynth) my 4s. Just delete (or even just rename) hosts file in "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc". Go into DFU (google is you friend here) and follow the on-screen instructions. Prob solved.

I appreciate the thread is 2 years old, but when I receive the 1600 error unjailbreaking my absynth iPhone 4s, it makes it somewhat relevant for users of today yes?
