Error occurs when one uses the "last ditch" method for preventing baseband updates on the iPhone 4. The baseband does not get updated using this method. Simply use TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery mode.

Below 100

Error 1

Unable to downgrade. Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.

The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.

Error 2

Sn0wbreeze 1.6 Custom Firmware has a ASR patch problem. Use sn0wbreeze 1.7 or PwnageTool. Device isn't bootable.

On Apple TV with a Seas0nPass Custom Firmware ?

Error 6

Not enter the downgrading mode, change USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.

Error 9

Seems to be a kernel panic. After patching kernel in PwnageTool with custom patches, restore failed with this. iRecovery then showed increased kernel panic count.

Error 10

LLB is missing from the IPSW. The device cannot be booted up. The trick to skip the baseband update no longer works.

Error 11

  • Removed bbfw file in the firmware folder of an unzipped IPSW. Can also be used to prevent a baseband update. The device is bootable, if you set the auto-boot to true or use TinyUmbrella and use "Kick Device out of Recovery".
  • You are trying to update to a custom firmware from Pwnage Tool 4.1+. You always have to go into DFU mode and restore from there.

Error 13

Occurs when you want to install a beta firmware with iTunes for Windows (actively blocked by Apple; beta users are developers and therefore must have a Mac).

Error 13 may also signify a USB problem. Check the USB connection and try other direct ports or maybe the USB cable is an older one. Device isn't bootable.

The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. For firmwares 4.0 and higher you need iTunes 9.2 or higher. Update iTunes.

Error 14

Custom firmware update fail (PwnageTool until 4.0.1). You have to restore the device with a custom firmware. Update to a custom firmware isn't working. Device isn't bootable. 2

USB Problem. Check the USB connection and try other direct ports or maybe the USB cable is an older one. Device isn't bootable.

You're trying to 'update' to a beta firmware instead of performing a restore. Device is still bootable if you kick it out of recovery mode.

Error 17

Device failed to display the applelogo img3 which results in this error.

Hacktivation bug in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1, which was fixed in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.2.

Error 20

Error when downgrading 2.0 to 1.1.1.

Error 21

Custom firmware restore fail (PwnageTool since 4.1). You have to put your device into the DFU mode and not into recovery mode. Device won't boot correctly an stuck at the Apple logo after the error. Press and hold power and home button until it reboots.

Error 23

Cannot restore or update due to hardware problems.

  • In software you have to set default web browser.
  • In hardware, it's a communication problem. Check all connections, also try to change battery.
  • faulty baseband flash or processor
  • Happens frequently after water damage. Remove and clean motherboard.

Error 26

False version of the NOR flash firmware. Use the correct sn0wbreeze version.

Error 28

Hardware error. Return your device to Apple if possible. The problem is a bad dock connector on the iPhone. Must change the connector.

Error 29

See Apple discussions thread about this problem. You might need to change the battery.

Error 34

Hard disk is run out of space when trying to download TV show's or movie's Please clear space and then continue downloading.

Error 37

iPod touch 2G LLB patched with the 0x24000 Segment Overflow was used on an iPhone 3GS custom firmware. Known on damaged bundles from unofficial PwnageTool distributions or bundles.

Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 bug, which was fixed in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.2.

Error 40

Hacktivation bug in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1, which was fixed in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.2.

Error 46

?

Errors 10xx

Error 1002

Error when restoring.

Error 1004

This is caused by a failure to match the Baseband Nonce currently in memory to the nonce returned in the Baseband Firmware SHSH blob. This happens if you edited the hosts file (Saurik's Server) or you are using TinyUmbrella. Use TinyUmbrella and "Kick Device Out Of Recovery" to boot. 1

Error 1011

This is caused by recovery mode being in userland (1.1.1 firmware). The file iTunesMobileDevice.dll is damaged or updated.

Error 1013

iPhone 4

This means that the baseband did not get updated. Either remove the gs.apple.com entry from your hosts file and let the baseband upgrade or if you want to preserve the baseband just jailbreak at this point to boot it up.

Other Devices

Restart computer; change computer; reinstall system, if iPhone is always in restoring mode: XP users can jump from restoring mode with ibus; MAC users can use iNdependence. (usually on the iPhone with 1.0.2 firmware downgraded from 1.1.1)

Error 1014

This occurs when you try to downgrade your phone's baseband.

Error 1015

This error is common when downgrading iPhones and 3G-enabled iPads. The problem occurs when the device's baseband has a higher version number than the baseband in the firmware you restored to. Just set auto-boot true in iRecovery or use iREB/TinyUmbrella/RecBoot.1

Errors 13xx

Error 1394

When Spirit2Pwn flashes parts of the boot chain on iOS 4, the device may crash into DFU Mode. [1]

Errors 14xx

Error 1413

Restart computer; change USB port; reinstall system. See also Apple's KB article.

Error 1415

Error 1050

Bad response from gs.apple.com OR need iReb for preparing iPhone for restoring to custom ipsw

Errors 16xx

Error 1600

Custom firmware can't be restored on a device with DFU Mode. The software of the iPhone isn't patched. Go into Recovery Mode (Pwnage Tool up to 4.0.1) or start Pwnage Tool and click "DFU" at the top and go with this tutorial into the DFU mode. During that process the software gets patched and the custom firmware should run without any problems.

Error 1601

See also this old KB article from Apple.

Error 1602

Restart computer; change computer; reinstall system.

If this error occured during an Apple TV restore, then unplug the Apple TV from the power cable, after you entered the recovery or DFU mode, and then try it again.

Error 1603

False kernelcache patch. Known on damaged bundles from unofficial PwnageTool distributions or bundles. See also Apple KB article

Error 1604

Device was not pwned (signature checks were not blocked). Custom firmware can't be restored. Can also happen when there's a problem with the ipsw.

Error 1611

iTunes tried to enter the Restore Mode, but the device turned back to the Recovery Mode.

Error 1618

Missing system files or corrupt data in iTunes installation. Try to uninstall iTunes, restart computer, install again.

Error 1619

iTunes is too old and couldn't read the iPhone in Recovery or DFU Mode. Please update iTunes and try it again.

Error 1644

Errors 20xx

Error 2001

The Mac OS X kernel extension "IOUSBFamily" that was bundled with late 2008 / early 2009 MacBooks, as well as the 10.5.6 update, has a bug where it fails to properly recognize an iDevice in DFU Mode. It can be resolved by updating to 10.5.7 (or later), or using a USB hub.

Also if you have Limera1n opened during you try to restore the iOS device.

Error 2002

iTunes can't connect because another program is using it or it's disconnected during the Apple Server check.

Error 2003

Connection problem; change USB cable and check USB port.

Error 2005

Problem connecting. Probably a hardware failure.

Errors 30xx

Error 3002

  • Update to an older firmware isn't working, because Apple is no longer handing out SHSHs for the device/firmware combination.
  • Or a timeout checking Apple server - retry later.
  • This error also happens if you try to Update with a local TSS server (TinyUmbrella tool) and probably also when connecting to Cydia Server. Use Restore instead.

Error 3004

No internet connection during the firmware restore. iTunes can't connect to gs.apple.com. Maybe Port 80 and Port 443 is blocked. Open it on your router.

Error 3014

False edited hosts. The SHSH request couldn't be completed. No connection to the Apple Server, Sauriks Server or localhost. iTunes can't connect to gs.apple.com. Maybe Port 80 and Port 443 is blocked. Open it on your router.

Errors 31xx

Error 3123

Something dealing with movie rentals.

Error 3191

1. Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer application (located in C:Program FilesQuickTime) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

2. In the Properties window, click on the Compatibility tab Deselect the checkbox labeled “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”

3. Click Apply.

4. Close the Properties window

Error 3194

Occurs when trying to install an old firmware and Apple's server disallows the installation. The only solution is to have SHSH backup and modify the hosts file to point to Saurik's Cydia Server where they are backed up (or localhost if you have it yourself).

Error 3195

"An internal error occurred." Missing SHSH for the firmware. Maybe the same as "This device isn't eligible for the request build." but with an cache error.

Higher Errors

Error 11222

A security software you have installed may be conflicting with iTunes.

Error 20000

Is caused by a custom theme pack on your Windows. Use default Theme.

Error texts

This device isn't eligible for the request build

Apple doesn't sign the firmware anymore. See SHSH.

The iPhone "xxx" could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.

You downloaded the wrong firmware file (or it is corrupt). Download the correct firmware file that matches your device. Here's an overview of file names (beginning) and devices:

The iPhone "xxx" cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.

If you want to upgrade or downgrade the baseband, make sure you didn't change the hosts file. The Cydia server cannot handle the requests for the baseband certificates.

There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone “XXXXXXX” the network connection was reset, make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.

You need to disable both your antivirus and your windows/security firewall in order for the update/restore to go through.


1 Use TinyUmbrella (Kick Device out of Recovery), iRecovery or redsn0w Lite and enter "setenv auto-boot true", "saveenv", "reboot" to boot.

2 Device isn't bootable, but a custom firmware can be restored if it has a jailbreak and the requirements.
