try this and post result:
On Windows:
* Locate the hosts file in one of the following directories:
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\win\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP, Vista, 7 c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
* Right click and click on "Open With..." and then click on "Notepad" on the list.
* Remove the line that has gs.apple.com completely and save the file.

On Mac:
* Open Finder
* Hold down COMMAND + SHIFT keys and press 'G'
* Enter "/private/etc/" in the field and press "Go"
* Find "hosts" file in the directory
* Drag the file to your desktop
* Open it in text editor
* Remove the line that has gs.apple.com entirely or put a # at the beginning of it to comment it out
* Save the file
* Drag it back to the /private/etc/ folder.
* You'd need to enter your username and password to authenticate the move

Newb here with iphones
Read the FAQ and guides to familiarize myself. Got an old 3G just to play with. Mistakenly updated to Version 4.2.1 (8C148)

Info on handset:
Version 4.2.1 (8C148) as stated above
Model MB499L
Modem Firmware 05.15.04
car camera recorder 0678

[/URL]I used redsn0w_win_0.9.6b6 for jailbreak and it's been a mess really. Slow as can be, cydia runs but winterboard and sbsettings don't run well and keep crashing. At this point I'm just trying to reset to factory but keep getting error 9's and the restore to factory fails. I've searched the forums and google didn't come up with much.
