Help! Stuck in DFU

[michele5389]

I backed up my 3g iphone before I used pwnage-as a matter of fact, I backed up the phone three times. The phone was jailbroken with blackra1n but was not unlocked. I was trying to update the 4.0 and unlock. The phone was doing fine in pwnage and I got it in dfu mode. When I went through the process of restoring, I get an itune error message that says "Itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode. You must restore the phone before it can be used in iTunes. Well, I click restore and I click on the firmware 4.1 custom firmware pwnage made and I get the error, "the "iphone" iphone could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.

I had named the phone under my son's name, but now it only recognizes it by the name iphone.

Can someone help me please?! We are going on vacation in a day and I hope I did not "brick" this phone! If I click just "restore" it wants to verify the phone with apple.

The phone was originally with AT & T but I am now with T-Mobile.

Thanks. I read somewhere blackra1n is for 3G+. I checked and found a redsnow version and it worked flawlessly.
