The Genius Bar would have given you alternatives, not just said there was nothing they could do.


I recommend you contact Apple Support directly:


Contact - Official Apple Support


If you see error 9, 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

well they didn't say much besides what they told me. They mentioned that it could possibly be a hardware issue if repaired would be replacing 80% of the phones internals, thats about it.


Never dropped the phone, have it in its case protected. how could it be a hardware issue. maybe a faulty part on apples end and didn't show signs till later. unfortunately my 1 year warranty has just expired sept. Not sure what the cost would be changing its internals at this point.

There would be no cost with the internals, you would pay for an out-of-warranty replacement. You would receive a full replacement phone, known as a service replacement unit. It could be new or could be refurbished.


That error message is often a broadband IC error message. The update revealed the failure, it didn’t cause it. It can also occur if the iPhone had previously been jailbroken.
