Error 6

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

Error 9

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.

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.

  • faulty baseband flash or processor

Error 26

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.


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.
