[cdimic25]

i do

[iYeow]

What errors are you getting ?

[cdimic25]

3002 currently
ive had 9, 1004, 36 and more

[iYeow]

How did you restore through Itunes ?

[cdimic25]

just pressed update originally to 4.1; then got error 1004 and from there i simply pressed restore

[iYeow]

Go to your hosts file, make sure you have all of them checked like this :
Run Notepad as Admin , open up hosts file and edit back to :
#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
to temporary ignore it, so Apple can verify it on IOS 4.1

where can i locate the host file?? thank you so much

[iYeow]

Cwindows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You don't need an unlock , right ?

[cdimic25]

do i need to change it back when im finished?

right

[iYeow]

No the idea is if you have the hosts file pointing towards Cydia, then you mark it with # so you don't direct it to Cydia. The 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com is to tell the computer to use locale server.
If you don't have any of those in there, you don't have to edit or add any of those.

it says i do not have permission to do this since i do not have administrative power... except i do? it doesnt allow me to open it up as an admin?

[iYeow]

Click Start , type Notepad > on top highlight notepad > right click > run as Admin > from the box > open up to hosts file

Computer class 101..

[cdimic25]

thank you! im attempting a restore now, ill keep you posted

[iYeow]

OK

[cdimic25]

after making changes to host file im still receiving error 3002

[iYeow]

Did you press update or restore ? Do Restore.
Put your iphone into recovery mode and press restore.

Or you can download the iphone 4 4.1 ipsw and do the Shift + Restore to 4.1 ipsw.

[cdimic25]

its already in recovery mode and that is what i have been doing

[eddietah]

try iRecovery
