So my little bro gave me his old 2nd gen ipod and its disabled from putting the wrong password in to many times (he couldnt remember it). I dont have access to the pc it was originally hooked up to (he's got a new laptop n junked his desktop). I tried putting this thing into DFU mode and restoring it with iTunes but I get error 3014. Here is the error report from iTunes... 2011-05-08 15:56:34.901 iTunes.exe[1716:998]: restore library built Aug 24 2009 11:22:55 2011-05-08 15:56:34.901 iTunes.exe[1716:998]: iTunes: iTunes 9.0.2.25 2011-05-08 15:56:34.901 iTunes.exe[1716:998]: iTunes: Software payload version: 7E18 2011-05-08 15:56:35.005 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: iTunes: Specifying UOI boot image 2011-05-08 15:56:35.008 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: phoning home to gs.apple.com:80 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: ApECID 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: ApChipID 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: ApBoardID 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: ApProductionMode 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: ApSecurityDomain 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: UniqueBuildID 2011-05-08 15:56:35.009 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: @Locality 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: RestoreLogo 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: RestoreDeviceTree 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: RestoreKernelCache 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: RestoreRamDisk 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: iBEC 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: iBSS 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: KernelCache 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryLow1 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryLow0 2011-05-08 15:56:35.010 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: LLB 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: iBoot 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: DeviceTree 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryCharging1 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryCharging 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: AppleLogo 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryPlugin 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryFull 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: BatteryCharging0 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: RecoveryMode 2011-05-08 15:56:35.011 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: tss_add_entry: NeedService 2011-05-08 15:56:54.201 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: [tss] HttpEndRequest failed=12031 2011-05-08 15:56:54.202 iTunes.exe[1716:b70]: _AMRAuthInstallCopyPreflightOptions: failed to personalize bundle (3014) 2011-05-08 16:03:48.992 iTunes.exe[1716:998]: iTunes: Restore error 3014 Ive been searching all over online to try and unlock/re-enable this ipod and i cant figure it out. Again, its disabled from the wrong password being entered. What do i do to get this damn thing working? THANKS IN ADVANCE
I found plenty of references but I used Google and not something like Bing. Unlock ipod Why would you try to update a locked ipod? Chance are you screwed it up. Lets hope you are lucky. Try unlocking your device FIRST. Then you need to make a note. Better yet DON'T LOCK IT! Most persons will have an easier time than you to unlock it without the key so why do it? Pshell why would you suggest looking into an iphone error. The number or error message could be the same but the device is different. The real reason for the problem is you shouldn't me updateing itunes on a locked ipod. itunes is smart enough not to let someone easily by pass a locked ipod. You both seem a bit nuts to me. Just try to fix the problem the right way. Doing something you shouldn't have done you might have screwed up your ipod.
