iPhone 5 Restoring Problems..................................

[LegendKillerRG]

So I restored my phone couple days ago and it keep getting stuck on "Restoring iPhone firmware"... After 20 minutes it makes an pop-up and said "An error occurred (3)" I search Error 3 and found out that there's no "error 3"... Im getting really frustrated about this problem... It's not restoring the dam iPhone... On the iPhone, it shows the bar 95% done and the 5% is left or the next 20 minutes... I tried to restore over 6 times and no success... Any ideas that could help ASAP?

I know that if you mess with the host files, it could sometimes cause issues. Have you messed with your computer's host files? If that has nothing to do with you, try on different computers.

Tried on two different computer and I haven't mess with the host file even though I know that's a 3149 error...

Hmm, I've never had that happen to me. How about this: you've backed up everything right? Download the most current ispw for your phone, probably 7.0.3, always check it is the right one, then press shift + restore to restore to the ispw. However, please do some more research of whether it is shift + update or shift + restore, as I haven't done it in a while. Hope this helps, good luck.

I got the same problem even after I downloaded iOS 7.0.3 IPSW file...

Try doing it directly on the iPhone.

I can't do it directly on the phone otherwise WHY would I need to use iTunes...
