Brand new iphone? Faulty

[iphonogasm]

Ok, my poor dad got a ip4 and we could not upgrade it to 4.3.1 tried everything got error 1013. Took it back said it was faulty which i was pretty sure it wasnt. Now got a replacement phone, brand new and the same thimg is happenning. Cant upgradr to 4.2.1 cus it gets stuck on 1013 and then stuck in recovery mode. So im out of options and my poor dads loosing hope? Any ideas? Gs.apple.com is definitly the only server in the hosts file.

Thanks

Take it back to Apple, and have them do the upgrade and clear the error would work, 99% confident.

I know it's a b1tch to have to back to Apple, just have them deal with it and update you phone while you sit there at the Genius bar, even if they give you a new phone, take charge.

Yea tru. The thing is i live in nz and was given the phone by vodafone. So all they gonna do is send it away (again). They wont replace it. Though after sending the last one away (thats whT they say) they replaced it

Wow, that so sux.
Have you Searched the forum or Googled the iTunes error your getting and see what other have experienced and perhaps found a fix?
Good luck, hope you report back with good news so I may pass it along to other members.

I had the same problem. Then I went to remove the host file and decided to look at the other files and found another gs.apple.com in another file just under where I removed the first apple host. Try looking around and find more host files. After deleting them all I was able to update.

Really please shed some more light. Are they also in the hosts etc folder. I also found one that says hosts.umbrella which i thought was kinda dodge. Jst deleted it. But didnt have time to try it

I had same problem and all i did was repair my itunes application (control panel, uninstall/reair) and it updated all okay to 4.3.1. Then it was jailbroken.

Yes I would say repair your installation of iTunes. It can not be the same problem with 2 phones in a row, so something is wrong with iTunes.
Good luck

I would definitely do a complete uninstall and reinstall if iTunes. I had a similar problem lately. If you can ask a friend to use their computer to do the update. If you have tinyumbrella look at the settings and uncheck the change host on exit box. Good luck. If you use a different computer without jailbreak software I am confident your problem will be solved.

Thanks for all the help. I will try a different internet connection tonight and computer. Im just thinking it could be a faulty batch?

[iphonogasm]

Trying it on another pc now. Will update soon

[iphonogasm]

It worked. Thanks for the help!

I think you still need to uninstall itunes on your comp and then reinstall a fresh copy, or repair itunes you have, or the problem will occur again when you update again using your comp.
