How do you fix iPhone error 1611?

Answer 1

1- Change the USB port the phone is plugged in to. Do not plug the phone back in yet.

2- Reboot the computer then plug the phone in and immediately restart the phone in DFU WHILE CONNECTED to the computer. Open up iTunes.

3- Hit restore

DFU can be set on mac by pressing and holding both the home button (Square button) and the Sleep/wake button for 10 sec. Then release ONLY thee sleep/wake button. Keep holding it until iTunes notifies you that you are in restoration mode

What will happen, is that your phone will be updated and iTunes will download the next update. Your screen should be black, meaning that it is in DFU mode. After the update finishes the downloading, it will start to extract the software. The downloading time takes a while, since it needs to verify restoration, etc. etc. The apple logo should be visible with a progress bar when downloading. It will take a long time. When it is done, iTunes may ask you if you want to download your backup back into the phone or just use it as a "new" phone. It is advised to press on the "backup", since you get all your contacts, mail, messages, etc. back.
