Have you tried restoring it in DFU mode?

If u are on Vista/win7, go to

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software

Delete the ipsw file and try restore again...

Have you tried restoring it in DFU mode?

Yes, meant by pressing the combination of home & power button?

I did that, but my phone gets open when i release power button so it becames same as before. Or mayb i perfored it wrong.. should i retry?

Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.

If that's what you tried, then maybe try a restore with a custom ipsw

i did it using 4.1 .. but same error by itune. (6)

Use the ipsw for the last version it was working on

and try restoring with redsn0w or another program instead of iTunes

[Khurry]

ipsw? is there some difference from the one i downloaded from here? > felixbruns.de ( 2nd option)
The one which is said to be a ROM.
sorry i dont knw much, but i have downloaded a file, but not apsw. (same size)
