I am in serious need for help right now..!
So I decided to try to update my Iphone 3gs 4.3.3 to the IOS5. As I need to preserve my baseband(to be able to unlock) I tried to use Redsn0w 0.9.9b5 and created a IPSW that preserved my baseband. I did this on my sisters Macbook. After creating the IPSW i went into DFU mode and tried to update my iphone.. I then got a Itunes Error(9) and my phone was stuck on Recovery mode..
So in an attempt to fix it i chose the "recovery fix" option on redsn0w and put the phone on DFU mode. It all started good with the white screen and then something happening on my phone..
But it STOPPED with the following text:
unable to mount user filesystem
APPLEBCMWLAN: : handleIOKitBushyWatchdogTimeout (): error no successful firmware do wnload after 6000 ms! Giving up...
I waited for almost 30 mins and then the phone rebooted and I am back at recovery mode!! PLz help I am really in a panic here..!!
UPDATE:
When i Try to use redsn0w now for "recovery fix" i get the "Downloading Jailbreak Data" screen on my phone and the spinning wheel.. Ive waited for almost 40 min and nothing happens.. On redsn0w it says "the rest of the process takes place on ure phone... done!"
When using tinyumbrellas Windows fix i get back the errormessage of:
unable to mount user filesystem
APPLEBCMWLAN: : handleIOKitBushyWatchdogTimeout (): error no successful firmware do wnload after 6000 ms! Giving up...

Put your iphone into pwned dfu mode and restore to custom fw of iOS 5, you shouldn’t go into recovery mode.
After the restore, you need to run redsnow to jailbreak.
I've tried it on a 3 gs using redsn0w, and it went without problems, but then cydia kept crashing when opening, so, this is what i did, just make another custom, make sure the iphone is in pwned dfu and important, make sure you have the latest itunes and that the hosts are not pointing to cydia, and u should be good to go. if it keeps failing, try snowbreezze, keep on mind redsn0w is beta and might present you with some errors.
restore your iphone again on last firmware. start tiny umbrella if u have ur saved shsh blobs than start tss server and in itunes restore ur last firmware like 4.1 or 4.3.3.
and another option is that go to host file and delete apple.gs line and restore your custom ios5 firmware.
