Need some help guys.I have just tried to restore my iphone 4 16g and it goes through the proceess of authorising the phone to Apple through iTunes and thats it.
It then comes up with the following message. Any ideas as it wont restore my phone.
I'm going to assume, probably rightfully, that you're trying to use iOS 5 and aren't a developer. If so, stop it.
If I'm wrong, ignore me. Everyone else does.
A couple of questions that will help:
1. What version of iOS was on your phone previously?
2. What version were you trying to restore?
3. Was your phone jailbroken?

more info please, actually any info please
This phone was replaced by Apple yesterday and it seems to be lagging so I thought a fresh restore may resolve it .The software version is 4.3.3(8j2)
Not jailbroke fully original software
If I wipe my data on the phone and then plug it into iTunes will this resolve it.

Why wipe the data? Have you done a backup before?
If so, look up a download for 4.3.3, look up how to enter DFU Recovery mode, do so, and shift+Restore to 4.3.3
Should be fine.
Just thought a fresh install may resolve the issues then install my stuff from backup

Mr. Pink thought you did not think of a backup when you said "wipe the data". However, you can backup then restore the firmware, then reapply the data. As well, you should try download other firmwares for the iPhone 4 and trying those out. This error is common when your restore file is not compatible with it, but then again, you can try download iOS 4.3.3 off the internet and seeing if it will let you restore.
