In my case, got the same error and the same itunes screen. I just simply unplug my usb cable and plug it again. Now, it works!. My ITunes 8.2 detected my phone and started restoring it. Good thing I backed up my phone before it went troubled.

Thanks a ton LionArch007!! Your solution worked for me too. I too had this 1604 error and although I knew there was some key combination to use I tried only the “Command” and “Ctrl” keys while clicking Restore.

I do have one more issue – my iPhone camera is not working – the shutter graphics shows but does not open up.

I had the same problem. I had the PSoD with a 1604 error. Don’t know what 1604 is, but I fixed this by doing a hard reboot on the iPhone and when it appears in iTunes and says it found an iPhone in recovery mode I hold down alt/option and click on restore and find the beta 5 ipsw file and reinstall it. I was freakin out before that so I know what some of you are feeling.

So here is the latest! Apple Dev Support say, "Sorry, they are aware of this issue but have no fix for it currently!"

Go figure...

Correct, sorry it is the beta 5 that I want installed however as the phone has a lock code and I get NO WAY to enter the code, I cannot do this restore from beta 3 to 5, so how do I get past the PSoD to be able to let the Xcode allow install or enter my phone lock code?

Anyone wanting to run Beta 4... you are out of luck. The Betas are only valid for X number of days. Once the time has passed you will get the PSoD (Pink Screen of Death). You have to move up to the next version. To get from Beta 4 to Beta 5 you need to do the following: Download iTunes 8.2 - Download Beta 5 for the iPhone/iTouch (select your version) and then: Install iTunes Plug in the phone or touch On the UPGRADE button hold down the option and then select the directory/folder where you downloaded the Beta 5 and it is just that easy. Once you do that you can then see the phone/touch in Xcode.

If you did not follow the instructions above you will have a bricked phone. To unbrick you can set the phone/touch into DFU mode and then restore to Beta 4 and then go back to the above steps to UPGRADE to Beta 5.

Hi, i have an issue that I cannot seem to find answers for anywhere, anyone can help here it would be great, as I have an iPhone which expired with the OS3 and when trying to update to the new OS4, there is no way for me to do it as Xcode and Itunes wont let me connect as there is a phone lock password on the phone and there is no option for me to enter the code anywhere and the iPhone simply remains with pink screen or emergency dial and no option to enter my code, so how do I get this iPhone restored?

I woke up to the pink screen of death this morning. I tried to reinstall 3.0 beta 3 and it didn’t work. Then I found out there’s a beta 5 now. Downloaded 3.0 beta 5 along with iTunes 8.2 and now my phone is back in business.

By: Jeremy Sikora

Jeremy Sikora — Sun, 03 May 2009 18:33:25 +0000

@justus, Wow… just wow… I’m guessing you never bothered to do much reading before you went ahead and updated to a developer only beta… pay the $99 on Apple’s website and become a “real” developer…

Shoudld I be able to upgrade from iTunes 8.2 running on my winxp machine? If so how do I do that? Using the restore function in iTunes?

By: Peter Wood

Peter Wood — Fri, 01 May 2009 11:57:29 +0000

I am a bit confused. I had b3 and its good. I installed iTunes 8.2 on a mac and then used xcode to install the b4 release on the phone. On previous betas up to 3 I had to wait to get home form work to connect and restore from my iTunes on my winxp PC at home. My iPhone usually shows the itunes connect to activate screen until I restore again. Now it appears my phone has activated to O2 itself without connecting to iTunes. Is this correct behaviour?

TO THOSE HAVING IPOD PROBLEMS IN BETA 4

i kept having my ipod app crash do here what i did to fix

1 plug the iphone into yr computer 2 wait for it to load under the device list in itunes 3 go to music under iphone and just play a song on yr pc 4 while the song is playing open yr ipod app 5 it should take a second to load, once it does pick a song to play and unplug straight from the pc WHILE the song on the iphone is still playing 6 should have a working ipod app!

I did an update from beta 3 to beta 4 instead of a restore because the developers name and password that i was using stopped working. All worked fine other than my music no longer showing up under artist, song or video. I can only access if from the playlist, but at least my phone didn’t brick.

@guenze, thanks for the Proxy server tip! Once disabled I then got a 3004 error. Some more googling suggested opening access to port 8080 on my firewall and then the restore worked.

I installed Beta 4 without any issues... Only thing I can't get working is the STORE option to log-in and provide the account info.

I've Windows Vista machine and I did upgrade iTunes to 8.2 before upgrading the iPhone s/w

typo: i meant to write beta 4 instead of beta 3.

@ RiK:

If Apple releases the version of iTunes 8.2 Pre-release for Windows at the same time as the Mac version, and that iTunes 8.2 Pre-release is required to install iPhone 3.0 beta 3, can we not assume that Apple is aware folks are also installing 3.0 beta on Windows?

By: RiK

RiK — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:02:00 +0000

So, I’m intrigued…

Some of you are talking about the problems you are having installing from windows machines. If that’s the case, why not use a Mac?

If you’re registered iPhone developers then you must be using a Mac to develop on as that’s the only platform supported by xcode… If not, then why are you registered? Surely not just to get early access to v3.0?

I can’t get iTunes 8.2.0.10 (64-bit Windows version) to work at all. It appeared to install correctly, but crashes every time I launch it. (Yes, I restarted after installation.) Anybody else using Vista 64-bit with the new iTunes? In case I really can’t get it to work, could I install the 32-bit version of iTunes instead?

By: KunchDiesel

KunchDiesel — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 06:01:47 +0000

I dont have a personal way of knowing however I’ve read this on other message boards and it seems to be unanimous. Apparently you can set your clock forward day by day until your phone says its expired. I dont know if you can change the date back after you do this though so i havent tried it. I was able to fix my issue by installing b4 on my xp pc with itunes 8.2 installed and a different usb cable successfully.

Expires in 10days where does it say that?

Thanks..

By: Korg

Korg — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:37:10 +0000

So developers have to send the iTunes 8.2 update via email to all there testers along with beta 4 file? Is that how works?

By: KunchDiesel

KunchDiesel — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:36:25 +0000

problem with sticking with b3 is that it will expire in approx 10 days. I have the same problem. I am able to restore back to b3. Im trying on vista but this time i will try on XP. I meet all the requirements listed in this forum.

By: Rob

Rob — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:14:16 +0000

what about those of us on a dev’s device list? beta 4 will only install on the itunes 8.2 pre-release? beta 3 has been great, should i just stick with that?

By: MO

MO — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:58:12 +0000

I am a PAID registered developer… downloaded beta 4… and got the same error upon install but error “3013″. Pink screen and all. Restarted my phone and tried again… now the phone is restoring AOK as I speak…

i havent installed sdk beta 4 yet you think that might be the problem? im downloading it right now

By: Andrew Rusch

Andrew Rusch — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:43:33 +0000

I’ve always only used iTunes… I think it is required with this new 8.2 pre-release.

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:40:30 +0000

Just curious… Andrew, did you not use Xcode to install beta 3? I did… didn’t know to use iTunes this time. Is this suppose to be the way from now on or is Apple going to change this for the hell of it everytime or have you always been able to install either way?

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:38:28 +0000

ohhhh…. damn, I see you already did that. I don’t man, mine is restoring now. Sounds like it is a “registration” issue.

By: Andrew Rusch

Andrew Rusch — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:36:15 +0000

3014 is the "not a registered developer" error. I entered my UDID wrong back when 2.0 betas came out and bricked my phone because of it and had to get it replaced...

I'd request help in developer connection.

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:35:32 +0000

…if you need further explanation I’ll check back in a few – we’ll get you up and going man.

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:34:33 +0000

Think I got it going… I used iTunes… I went ahead with the iTunes restore except I option clicked restore, and chose the beta 4 ipsw and it’s restoring now as I type this.

By: spidesol

spidesol — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:28:51 +0000

yeah when i plug in the phone it says iphone found in recovery mode and i click restore with alt held down and choose beta 4 and after it extracts the software it the cannot restore iphone 3014 comes up

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:28:22 +0000

Well itunes is detecting it in restore mode and wanting to restore it back to 2.2.1. First off, Apple says restoring back to 2.x.x will not work (I already had 3.0 beta 3 installed), secondly, I don’t want to go back to 2.x.x anyway.

By: Andrew Rusch

Andrew Rusch — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:27:01 +0000

I know this sounds bad, but…jiggle the cable…I did it a few times and iTunes loaded it right up.

By: Andrew Rusch

Andrew Rusch — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:23:36 +0000

Any recognition of the device in iTunes?

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:18:25 +0000

Ya, I'm having the same problem... got Error: connected to device, path does not exist - stuck at pink itunes screen. Let me know if you guys get it figured out.

And yes, I'm registered.

By: spidesol

spidesol — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:15:26 +0000

yeah (3014) is the error code its giving me

By: BriBles

BriBles — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:11:22 +0000

If you're registered developers, then you're all under NDA and shouldn't even be talking about this!

Seriously though, keep leaking new code tidbits, it's been a blast to watch.

By: Andrew Rusch

Andrew Rusch — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:09:50 +0000

I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm currently experiencing issues with the iPod crashing.

Is this version more or less buggy?

By: spidesol

spidesol — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:07:39 +0000

yes i am a registered developer

By: Andrew Rusch

Andrew Rusch — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:58:58 +0000

Are you a registered developer? I got that too, but then it verified me and passed me through to the software loading.

By: spidesol

spidesol — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:56:59 +0000

i updated itunes and then i tried to upgrade to beta 4 and my screen went pink with the itunes logo on it and it keeps giving me an error message on itunes indicating that there was an error anyone else get this? my phone is bricked for not it wont come off of the pink screen

By: Justin (dizzy)

Justin (dizzy) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:40:23 +0000

Yeah, 8.2 is required: This is a pre-release version of iTunes 8.2. You must download and install iTunes 8.2 pre-release in order to activate iPhone OS 3.0 beta 4 on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Installing now, hopefully there is some new stuff to check out!
