I had a jailbroken 4.2.1 and tried upgrading to 4.3 earlier. Phone ended up in recovery mode and have been unable to get out of it. I have ried tiny umbrella but still no go. Ive tried other pc and still get error 1013. Can somebody pleaaaase help me get my phone back?
Yes windows 7 but i have a mac as well if i need one.
I try restoring. It goes through the steps, "restoring iphone software" , "verifying iphone restore", "restoring iphone firmware", then I get error 1013 and back to recovery mode.

got to computer>windows>system32>drivers>etc>open hosts file with notepad then delete everything at the bottom with gs.apple save it restart computer and restore
download tinyumbrella, connect the iphone and there will be an option at the top to boot it out of recovery mode. i was in the same boat as you trying to update and this fix worked for me. never did end up getting it to 4.3 though (bad news anyways my guess is only a handful of cydia's apps will support 4.3)
thanks i figured tiny umbrella wouldnt kick it out where there for a while it wouldnt kick out 4.2.1 so i learned something new to always nice to update your brain lol
Yeah it was my last choice to get the phone working again lol.
i wanted 4.3 just cuz it seemed like i was having bad battery drain issues with ios 4.1 and thought apple should have fixed that up by now.
but 4.2.1 is working great for me =)
