1. First time I tried, it showed "Error 2005"
2. Second time its frozen @ "Preparing to restore iPhone" then showed "The iPhone could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (1601)
3. Third time I tried erasing the 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com from hosts, saving, closing notepad, closing itunes, then re entering IP, saving & opening iTunes

Currently in the process of "Restoring iPhone Software" around 15% through..

It usually bugs out @ around 80-90%, lets see if it goes through.

put your device in DFU mode and then try install it? have you updated itunes? itunes has to be updated as well for ios 5 to be installed

i talked a to a cellphone technician that it needs to downgrade my ios 5 to the older version of my iphone 4... can i use the ios5 without downgrading the version of my iphone for ios? thanks again

I am having kind of the same problem. I bought iphone 4 in France. It have been using a jailbreak sim since I arrived in the US. It worked fine until I updated to the new version. Now I cannot do anything with it, not even use it as an itouch. It stops in the process of installing the new version... Please help!!
