Please help! Stuck in recovery iphone 4 TU wont recognize

[iYeow]

You are sure your itunes is 10.0.1 , the latest.

where does itunes place the one i downloaded?

positive

Alright if the Shift + restore to 4.1 ipsw still doesn't work.
I want you to restore through Tss Server.
Download Tiny Umbrella, use the feature kick out of recovery to get you back to where you first started.
Now Check Advance Tab
Devcie/Version : select iph 4. 4.1 shsh blogs
Request : Cydia
Save Shsh
Wait for Answer : It should say Yes.
Now Start your Tss Server and it will say connecting
Do the Shift + Restore to 4.1 ipsw
At the end you will get error 1004, use kick out of recovery again.
Now you are at emergency Screen.

tiny umbrella will not recognize my phone to allow me to kick it out of recovery though could you possibly pm me your number?

yeow; i have changed the host files to what you said, done everything posted except im still getting 3002

[iYeow]

This is very weird, why don't you take it to apple and see if they can restore for you. If they cannot , then you will get a replacement.

You're getting 3002 errors trying to restore an iPhone 4 to 4.1 (8B117) via iTunes, and you're sure your hosts file is right?

Would you kindly ping gs.apple.com for me from your Terminal and report back the IP address you obtain?

Also, please shoot me your ECID via PM (On Windows, it's in Device Instance Path under Device Manager if your device is in recovery). Let me try to obtain you some blobs the old fashioned way.

sent you a pm. and i copied and pasted the host lines in place of what was already there at the bottom?

[iYeow]

Can you send again, didn't know my inbox was full

yeow202 thanks for the help I was getting the 1004 error with the newest iTunes and updating my hosts file fixed it for me.

Quick question if you don't mind.

I was on 4.1 FW and used limera1n RC1 to JB. Now after restoring I am back to factory correct? not JB?

[iYeow]

Yes, if it is iphone 4 and you restore through using tss server to preserve your baseband, you are at official 4.1 but with 4.0 baseband for unlocking purposes.

ok cool, thanks

[cdimic25]

i ended up just sending my phone in, thanks for your help though. After five hours of struggling im washing my hands of it. Ill have a brand new one on thursday though.

So the tech at apple store couldn't restore to 4.1 too, am I right?
