iPhone iPhone stuck in DFU/Recovery

[Maschil]

Ok Basically I'm trying to help a friend w/ his Iphone 4.


Redsnow says the verizon iphone 4 is in "soft dfu" mode"
itunes tries to restore the iphone but it doesnt get past the restoring progress bar ( see pic)

He's running the latest itunes on Windows 8. This happened when trying to upgrade to ios 6.....

has tried tiny umbrella as well

any ideas?
