I had exactly the same problem as the video. My iphone 4 would not update to version 4.0.1 and then would not restore back to previous working version. I eventually sorted my problem by switching off my PC firewall. The iphone then updated fine!! Give it a try.....switch off your PC firewall :-)
Fix for Iphone error 1611 If your iPhone just boots to "Please connect to iTunes" all the time What you need to do depends on your operating system. Windows: - Download iBrickr and extract it somewhere. - Open a command line and cd to the folder you extracted iBrickr to. - Run iphoneinterface from the command line. - You should see an r_recovery prompt. - Type "setenv auto-boot true" and hit enter. - Type "saveenv" and hit enter. - Type "fsboot" and hit enter. - Your phone will boot properly.
You should have NEVER used the restore function. I knew the moment I saw that option pop up that it would be nothing but trouble. I was right. I chose to do a clean start with iTunes and my iPhone 4 works perfectly.
FIXED! Here's the solution: I went to the apple store after reading something online about the restoring process hanging up when using Windows computers. So, since they have MACS there, everything went smoothly. The guy says that you need to have Windows XP service pack 3 or the latest VISTA to operate the new iTunes. Hope that helps.
i have the SAME DAM PROBLEM ERROR 1604 WAT DA F##* iwas on the phone for over 2hrs with apple tryn to fix it and no luck.... they said they TRYN to send me another WTF i bout ready to say f apple work good for bout 30min then POS from there
I think i've an idea of what's going on... The computer simply is reading your iphone 4. If you are running the itunes software off a windows machine, then there may be your problem. I'd say try installing it on an apple computer.
Yeah, I tried to restore my "phone" as well and the screen just goes blank... in the mean time, the "preparing iphone for restore" is in the background just running... This sucks so much right now... =/
got mine this morning, two hours later and it still says NO SERVICE. ATT guy said it might take a while since a lot of people are activation the new phones. I know your prob is different, but try another computer as suggested earlier. GL
