IPhone Gets 1015 Error After Restoring iTunes

When you try to downgrade your iOS device to the older version, you will most likely to receive this error.

This occur when trying to restore it using the .ipsw file wherein downgrading to the previous software version is not supported.

To fix this, restore your iOS device to the latest version. And also, this will also incur when there is a unauthorized iOS revision occurred and when you attempt to restore it with an authorized default mode. And sometimes this also occurs due to a hardware issue and needed services.

When you got the iPad BB, the only method you can do is to restore using a custom IPSW from pwnage tool. If you are using a Mac PC, download and make a custom IPSW and restore it. Ensure that you are on DFU mode when you already have your custom IPSW. And then restore through iTunes.

If you created a custom IPSW is 4.1, you need your SHSHs saved. So check if you have it.

If you don't have it, you will need to make a 4.2.1 custom IPSW.
