Chosen Solution
I tried to restore my old iPhone 5C and I got the ERROR code 47. I have tried to look for solutions, but couldn’t find any. Help pls!
as per my information code 47 is related to baseband. i have the same issue and it is in maintenance now. after if it’ll be fixed I will inform but what I have been told is that error 47 is not related to software and is something on logic board. Good Luck
I am going to try and replace the baseband chip tomorrow. We will see. I will let you all know Update (05/19/2016) It was the baseband chip. Heated it up and phone restored. The solder points became loose from over charging and heat.
I had the same problem so I took my phone to the Apple store where I was told that if a number pop up with the error message there is a problem with the hardware and basically your phone is now a paperweight /:
i succedeed to fix error 47… when I try again restore via itunes, when the process “verification your firmware” I heat the back of the body I used an iron iphone 5 . Baseband IC exact location is close to the bottom right corner of the iphone . I attach the board to restore the firmware passed 75 % . be careful with the heat , DWYOR .
Itunes error codes are about as useful as a football bat. You can google the supposed fixes but they are usually always a board level issue. You can try a different cable, a different USB port, a different computer, a different charge port, and so on. Yet, none of these never seem to solve the issue. At this point, you should either take it to a repair shop, or to the Apple store.
the same thing is happening to me, did you ever find a solution?
did anybody found solution for this ? please help

Put the phone into DFU mode and restore it. If that doesnt work check the host file on the pc you are on, search reset the host file on windows (Version your on) and follow instructions and that should fix it. Sometimes this happens, when it cant receive the ssh blob from apples servers. So, it cant’ verify the software and it wouldnt boot without the ssh blob because its one of the required files by the os to boot. Thats part of the reason that Jailbreaking is so hard sometimes because the devs of the jailbreak have to find a way around the boot security and a way inside the software itself.

Have had a nightmare of a time restoring an old iPhone 5 to factory settings. It’s been out of regular use for 18 months and I just started letting my toddler play around with it. I should have deleted the passcode ages ago. Upon receiving “iPhone disabled, connect to iTunes” I did just that, only it wouldn’t sync to iTunes. By unplugging the phone, doing a hard reset, then continuing to hold the HOME button, I reconnected the USB cable already connected to the computer (with iTunes open). As the phone turned back on, iTunes finally recognised the device needed updating and restoring. Unfortunately after several attempts to simply update software and restore from iTunes failed, it eventually downloaded the software (this also took several attempts as the iPhone kept disconnecting from iTunes and the whole process would pause and fail to restart). Once the newest software was downloaded in iTunes, it attempted to extract software from the iPhone and restore to factory settings. This also failed and an error message came up saying “this iPhone cannot be restored to factory settings. (Error 47)” I waited a few minutes, frustrated to the max, then did the same thing by disconnecting the phone then holding the buttons as though doing another hard reset, holding the home button and reconnecting the cable. Once again it kicked into action and began restoring the phone…and this time it all went through ok. During this process, that msg that had originally told me my phone was disabled and needed connecting to iTunes, disappeared and the screen would only go to black, with the apple logo coming up if I held any button down. It definitely seemed as though I’d never get it up and running again. But it’s completed. The old iPhone 5 is back to square one. I’ve read all the previous replies about heating some chip. I wouldn’t know the first thing about that and am glad perseverance worked in my case! Took a few hours of repeatedly trying, though. Hopefully time and patience will work for someone else :) good luck!
From what I can gather heating the phone works some times. This sounds similar to the Error 50, which is a baseband chip error. The reason heating sometimes works is that it causes all the solder points to expand and then that allows the chip connect and to work properly, but this will only be temporary. The way to fix it permanently would be to reball the baseband chip. This is the explanation for error 50 and it sound to me to be a similar issue… “The iphone 5s has three chips that have to be matched for activation on the apple server these being. serial number/ region/ colour/ WiFi and Bluetooth addresses are stored on the emmc (nand) this is tied to a serial number on the baseband modem and the eeprom baseband memory. During restore all three need to communicate and match. If a mismatch then activation is not possible.” I am new, so if this is helpful, please click YES.
