ITunes giving Error 1 After Restore. PLEASE HELP!

[Therockie20]

I did some research and found out that it either means that I wasn't in DFU mode when I tried to downgrade or I have faulty usb ports. Now, I know my ports are fine and so is my cable. (I have tried different cables and ports.) I also believe I entered DFU mode correctly. I am stuck in the recover mode (cord to itunes logo) so I can't actually turn off the device but tiny umbrella says that it is in DFU mode when I did the restore. Any advise or enlightenment on what Error (1) is??

Before all of this crap started I was on 4.3.3, Tiny Umbrella says I have all SHSH Blobs saved from 4.1 to 5.0 beta 3. Oh and it's an iphone 4. Itunes version 10.3.1. Can't think of anymore info atm, but lemme know if you have questions.

This is what the error looks like:

iTunes Errors - The iPhone Wiki

Error 1

You are attempting to downgrade an iPhone from iOS 5 to iOS 4.x. To resolve, use either custom firmware created by PwnageTool/sn0wbreeze or use notcom's fixrecovery utility available on his site.
On an iPhone 4 downgrading from iOS5 use the option in TinyUmbrella to allow a baseband "upgrade" to bypass the error and go back to basband 4.10.1
Unable to downgrade. Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.

Does this help?

I already saw that page (that's where I got my info from). I'm not downgrading from 5.0... and I have a lap top so there are only 2 ports and they are both fine. I have the latest version of itunes. Got any other idea's??

Trying to reload 4.3.3?
Start TU + TSS. Build a custom firmware, enter pwnd-DFU, shift/click restore cfw.
If iTunes 10xx... put in ...normal... DFU. Run fixrecovery43.

Okay I'll give that a go.

...I'm guessing TSS is Tiny Umbrella's server, but what is TU? ...

Yes, and TU = Tiny Umbrella

... as for the custom ispw file I would use pwnage tool but, unless there is an update, it doesn't do 4.3.3.

Pwnagetool works great for 4.3.3 (links in signature pane)

Good luck.
