Hi, Techyv! I installed iTunes 7.7, and every time I try to restore my custom firmware I get an error message stating that my phone could not be restored.
I’m stuck in DFU mode! Re-installing iTunes doesn’t help.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? The error message is as follows:
iTunes
The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1601).
Thanks for the help guys!
Completely remove iTunes and Apple Mobile Device support and then reinstall iTunes 7.5 or later. To remove itunes, use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
Please be advised that uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
In most cases removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all files belonging to those programs. But there are rare cases those files may be left behind. After following the steps above, you should confirm that the following files and folders have been removed and if any are left behind, delete them now:
Follow the additional steps if you receive the error "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder.
After you have verified that everything has been uninstalled, reboot your PC and reinstall the latest version of Itunes.
