Can you trigger into recovery mode : Turn off your iphone by holding both the Power and Home button. Now hold the Home button and plug your iphone in until the Itunes Cable logo comes on. Can you do that.
Before this happen, did you install Spirit2pwn on your iphone ?
i tryed this a couple of times and iv just tryed again and nothing and yes i did install spirit2pwn im normally not to bad with it but im lost so i fort best post on here and see if you masters can help
Now, your iphone is in a sleeping state, if you can't get it to recovery mode, then you have to open up your iphone, remove the battery from the motherboard, and then put it back . You can now restore again.
it says its already in recovery mode pal i just dont want to try upgrade 2 4.1 from apple then not be able to jailbreak again i dont mind waiting for a jainbreak but i dont want to do it if i never will get one i love my iphone i dont want to brake it lol
Itunes will recognize Recovery /DFU mode as you need to restore.
Try restoring to 4.0.1 with your shsh blogs, I am quite sure you will get an error right away, tell me the error.

All you have to do is to fully disconnect power from the motherboard by removing the battery and put it back, it will work. The link I sent you read my post and the reply from those guys on page 2 and 3.
If you don't know what you are doing , then don't open it, you may kill the motherboard with Static Electricity , then go for an exchange with Apple.
LOL dint even see there was another 2 pages dam now i no im tierd thanks for the help pal i no a guy who great with it ill get on his case you bin a great help tonight pal thanks alot mate
