I did all this but I got an error. Now iTunes show n/a for software version and serial number and I am stuck on the itunes with the usb cord picture screen which I believe is the recovery mode. Every time I restart the iPhone, it goes back to that screen. I have no idea how to get out of this, can someone help me upgrade to 4.1 unlocked? Thank you
