It had all the old persons info on it so i went to itunes to do a restore in itunes and after waiting for the 15 minute long process it said it couldnt be completed and its giving me the 1015 error and a recovery mode screen with the usb cable and the itunes logo. HELP ME PLEASe!!!

you have a few options here, not all of them work but somtimes, turn it off, when you turn it on hold the power and home button, plug into the computer and download the latest version, or take it to t mobile and have them fix it, lets say this iphone runs on AT&T its not going to accept a t mobile card, its like trying to get your honda to run on 2 stroke, thats not happening, take it in, theyll probablly flash it for you for like 5 or 10 bucks,

how do we know a briggs will?

well one day i was ay my grandmas and she wanted me to mow the lawn, so i dragged out her push mower with a 3.5 briggs.

it was bone dry. she has tons of small gas cans. some normal others are 2-stroke.

well i could not remember how each smelt or looked.

so i got a can i thought was normal. filled it up. then set it away from the others.(which i thought where 2-stroke)

it took few pulls but it did fire up. ran it all day. ran ok except it smoked more then usual(first hint)

then later i was using the weed eater. it ran out of gas. so i grabbed one of the ones i thought was 2-stroke. it ran but it ran different.

so i got my dad to look at it he started it. not even 10sec later he smelt the fuel. he said "did you put 2-stroke fuel in?" i said yes and showed him the can. he said "thats normal fuel." soi was like Oh ****. so i showed him the gas can i thought was normal.

he said that was 2-stroke. so i told him i had put that in the push mower. i showed him it ran and all. he said "well its not gonna hurt it as long as it was stopped and clean the tank and the carb."

and thats how i know a briggs will run on 2-stroke.

Try updating itunes, use a different usb port, put into DFU mode (google) and try again. If you need to unlock/jailbreak dont update to the latest software.

did u get any thing of a warrenty/return policy

hondas will run on 2 stroke
we run our 5hp aircompressor on 2 stroke fuel from a race boat when there is no straight petrol left

FWIW, marinas sometimes just used premixed gas/oil in all their watercraft, 2 or 4 stroke. Only result would be slightly more carbon buildup.

This is why I personally prefer Droid. Being that it's open source, home repairs are much easier. On numerous occasions over the past month while I've been modding the root directory of the phone I've wound up with a $400 paper weight. So I plug in the USB, run a program, and have a box stock phone 3 minutes later. Then I go in and restore a full back up and within 30 minutes of killing it, I am back to where I was pre-paperweight. I like being able to work on the software of it myself.

thats still an option with ios, but its a diffrent. it all has to do around the works of jailbreaking
