Need help restoring an iPhone4

[Einherji]

Okey, let me provide you with some back story:

iPhone 4 iOS 5.1 jailbroken (tethered) with redsn0w. It died, so when i tried to boot tethered it is stuck on waiting for reboot. It wont boot up at all in anything but DFU mode and is not recognized by my windows 7 pc or by itunes. When in DFU itunes detects it and asks to restore. At this point i just want to restore to anything i can get! I tried restoring to stock firmware, that throws error 1602. I tried everything to fix that, i.e. using iREB, restoring to a custom ISPW, another machine, uninstalling everything that slightly smelled of apple and reinstalling, another port, another cable and so on and so forth. Nothing seems to work.

I'm at a complete loss here guys, any help would be greatly appreciated.

try pressing the home and power buttons until the apple logo appears

That was the first thing i tried, apple logo does not appear at all.

Do a restore in dfu also try reinstalling iTunes and making sure its up to date, clean the dock connector on the iPhone as well

Did you make sure your not blocking apple in your host file?

You know that might have been my issue with iTunes. Im glad I read this post just now.

[Einherji]

Yeah, I checked that. I honestly wouldn't be posting here if i hadn't tried everything i could think of

Try PWNED DFU mode then boot tethered? Also try running TSS servers on Tiny Umbrella. Different combinations of all these things and you'll eventually get it.
