fixrecovery 421/43 (WIN/OSX)
- a tool to exit recovery mode on error 1013/1015![/b]

Another great tool from the creator of TinyUmbrella.



Procedure:
On firmware restore and iTune throws a 1013/1015 error and device gets stuck on recovery mode screen


1. Place device in DFU mode
2. Run fixrecovery 421 or 4.3, verbose screen will appear on device.
3. Done! Device will boot to activation screen or lockscreen.

Update: Fixrecovery43.exe works 4.3.1 FW restore 1013 error! Those who claim that it does not work might have not followed instructions to place device in DFU mode before running fixrecovery43.exe. You might also need to download zlib1.dll (google it) and place it in same folder as fixrecovery4.3.exe.

Fixrecovery or exit recovery in Tiny will not work for iPad 2 wifi+3G units. These tools rely on the Limerain exploit which the iPad 2 is invulnerable to.

Sir, i tried this but still stuck at recovery mode. anyone who could help me? TIA.

For those who wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware, I suggest you refrain from clicking the update button in iTunes (or else you might end up encountering this error 1013). Instead, manually download the firmware (sorry not sure how to link the file) then update using the shift+restore in iTunes. I tried using this and it works perfectly.

Thought this might help the apple newbies like me =)

error 1013 or 1611 for iphone 4 as for my experience i did everything but nothing happened but what i did was i reinstalled itunes then presto ok naa

To add to that, if you have updated your baseband to 6.15 (3G and 3GS), you cannot anymore restore to 4.2.1 OFW as this will result in recovery mode loop (stuck in connect to iTunes logo - Error 1013 or 1015). You must use Redsn0w to put your device in pwned DFU mode, then use a 4.2.1 CFW via SHIFT+RESTORE in iTunes.

1st post works for me..

I can personally vouch that Fixrecovery43.exe works on 4.3.1 FW restore 1013 error!

Those who claim that it does not work must have not followed instructions to place device in DFU mode first before running fixrecovery43.exe. Remember that DFU mode is black screen on device and recognized in recovery by iTunes. If there is connect to itunes on your device screen, THAT IS NOT DFU MODE.

You might also need to download zlib1.dll (google it) and place it in same folder as where you extracted fixrecovery4.3.exe.

i also used fixed recovery 4.3 on a iOS4.3.1 when i got the error 1013 and it did worked... i did not even download zlib1.dll but it still worked without any problem. BE SURE YOUR IPHONE IS IN DFU MODE!!!

+1, it worked. Medyo matagal lang from the time i run fixed recovery 4.3.exe........about 15-25minutes (sorry, multi-tasking ako........luto ng lunch, palipat-lipat from desktop to cooktop )
