If you connect your iphone to itunes and try to restore does it still show the update arrow?
If so keep trying with the process. Mine was caught in this update failure loop but eventually it succeeded on probably the 20th attempt.

Check your firewall on your computer, temporarily switch it off while your attempting the restore as one of the failure codes i had was a communications error. I also had numerous error code 1 and -1.

Good luck
 
error 1602

yeah i tried restore and update via itunes in DFU mode..then it shows some progress and after a while itunes stuck at verifying iphone restore with apple and on iphone apple and itunes sign appear in succession(recovery loop) and nothing happens ,at the end it displays error messege "iphone cannt be restored(1602)"
 
Keep persevering, pretty sure i had that code as well.
Mine went through restore process as you describe, failing at last stage.

The other thing i did was to set up a new apple ID account to go through restore process, once my phone was up and running i did a restore with my original ID.
 
it had 6.1.2 ios version..when i querried blobs via redsn0w it showed 6.1.2, 4.3.5 and 4.2.1 then i tried restoring 4.2.1 at first via itunes..was the error cause by this??
 
how is it possible to restore without dfu cause its in recovery loop...not staying at a point...help
 
while restoring in itunes mode itunes download iOs and after downloading it displays your phone is uptodate...what to do? my phone is never getting out of this loop..when in itunes mode i click exit recovery in recboot then it shuts down and after a while apple sign appears...before it is bricked it has 6.1.2 version and modem 4.12.02..
 
Make sure your hosts file isn't pointing to Cydia
Go into DFU mode
Restore in iTunes

Don't use redsnow, don't use tinyumbrella, just use the standard Apple tools. You can rejailbreak after that using evasi0n.

It's almost impossible to brick an iOS device.
 
there is no such thing in host file..

Doesn't matter. Just try a friend's computer. Just plug it in and hit restore. If not, try holding power+home for 10 seconds while plugged in (to turn it off) and hold the home button until it pops up. (to get into stable recovery)
 
I had this problem too when I restored jb device to stock. I had -1 error come two times in iTunes and next time it went ok. Just keep tryin restore in iTunes and you will succeed.
