What does error 1611 for iPhone 4 mean?

I looked it up but I don't understand what it means. I know it says that I have to disable my security system but I don't have one. Right now my iPhone is on the "Connect to iTunes" logo. When I do it says that this iPhone is in recovery mode. It says I have to restore it to get it to work again. So I go to restore it but it says that error 1611 had occurred.

I asked my parents if we have a security system but we don't and I don't know what else to check. I just got this today and my parents are pretty mad at me.

If you know how to fix this please let me know as soon as possible!

Thanks in Advance!

PS I was doing this because iTunes would recognize my iPhone so I followed what Apple has said on here but it brought me here.

I can't do anything with my phone (i.e.go to contacts, text, get to the password) It is just stuck on the connect to charger symbol.

Hold in the power button and the home button until the Apple appears. It should go back to the restore screen and should then be detected in Itunes. If this doesn't work, take it to Apple.

This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Why does my iPhone display error message? My iPhone 3GS displays an error message, "charging is not supported with this accessory." My phone still charges however it constantly displays this message. How do I resolve this issue? This message started to appear after I plugged it into my friend's stereo (1/8") jack but I'm using my original charger now.
