Upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.2.1 now that its no longer signed

[ic3manbl]

Well this is the thing (and please don't make me search the forums i just need some answers because im about to trash the phone )

I've been using 4.2.1 and didn't really want to upgrade to 4.3.3 now i've changed my mind but apparently 4.3.4 came out and 4.3.3 is no longer signed..
I never installed 4.3.3 on my iDevice before and i was confused when tinyumbrella dumped the following SHSH files (also Cydia displayed those versions as well in green letters on top ..you know.. ):
-iphone3,1-4.1
-iphone3,1-4.2.1
-iphone3,1-4.2b3
-iphone3,1-4.3.3

so i tried restoring like this:

1) without TU or anything plain old itunes and it naturally gave me the error saying that device is not eligible to restore (duh)
2) with TU up and TSS server runing and it unpacked the FW started restoring came to about 70% and then popped the communication error (1013) then restoring stopped and iphone went straight to connect to itunes screen and itunes said that device in recovery mode detected and i need to restore it.

I've read somewhere that that error is normal and i just need to pop in DFU and click fix recovery in TU.. And how exactly am i supposed to do that when my iphone is stuck on (Connect to Itunes) screen.

Also i tried with iFaith which dumped only the 4.2.1 SHSH as the only one available.
I'm pretty confused right now so any help would be awesome.

If you need any more info from me please feel free to ask

Put phone into DFU and run it.

Wrong way round fixrecovery43 lol

I have tried that.. it says waiting for device to enter DFU.. i have no clue how to put my phone to DFU cause it keeps rebooting to "Connect to itunes" screen

From that connect to iTunes screen press and hold home and power for 10 seconds then release the power button but keep hold of the home button for a further 15secs. The apple logo will come on then dissenter this should put it in DFU

Dissenter??? Dissapear I meant lol

Hmm oddly enough that did put it in DFU and fix executed .. but it just booted to that connect to itunes screen again.. let me re-do the entire procedure will post back after completion

Once in DFU you should be able to run fixrecovery43

Don't forget close of tinyumbrella and iTunes before you run it

Oh how incredibly idiotic from me.. i didn't bother to check if my WIN7 account had all the privileges.. simple run as administrator did the trick -.-

Tazz thank you a lot for your help mate ;D

hey ic3 was it worth it to upgrade?
i am also on 4.2.1 debating whether or not to update.

did you notice any speed increase? i know safari is supposedly faster but I haven't even been using safari, i use atomic web.

if it affected winterboard themes then i might choose not to because fixing my theme is a pain in the ***.
