Solution:

1 - Update your itunes to the newest version
2 - Download the 3.0 firmware to somewhere on your computer
3 - Go to iTunes and restore the 3.0 OS (click on shift+restore)
4 - Once its done, use Redsn0w.

Follow the instruction from redsn0w...it should be fine

thx for ur help

Try to update to 3.0 via itunes first and then restore the 3.0 you have on your computer via shift+restore

Use iTune 8.1 and restore to 2.21. After finished restoring to 2.21 use iTune 8.2 to restore to 3.0.

where cai see the shift button sir?

on your pc keyboard:D

Shift=on Keyboard
Restore= On iTunes SW.;)

I CAN ONLY RESTORE TO FIRMWARE 2.21 BY ITUNES 8.1. BUT NOT 8.1 OR 8.2.0.23 ITUNES CANT UPDATE MY IPHONE TO FIRMWARE 3.0
CAN SOMEONE UPLOAD 3.0 firmware to rapidshare?
i think firmware on http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net is corrupted

Just instle/use itunes version 8.2.0.23, tested by me ;)




Regards

i'm using version 8.2.0.23

I just updated another iphone by my itunes and cable to version 3.0 and all is ok. Can it be phones problem? (phisical problem)

This made my day hahah im not gay though but yeah thought it was funny

I dont think it would be the phone... I think this issue is fixable... I was playing around with mine for about 2 hours then it updated to 3.0.

Questions to ask:

1- Are you able to update automatically to 3.0 via iTunes?
(just by pressing on the update button)

2- Are you able to restore normally with iTunes?
(just by pressing on the restore button)

If not, are you on the old iTunes on the new one (ver.8.2.0.23)?

3 - Did you try to restore manually via shift+restore?

4 - Did you try to update manually via shift+update?

Try to restore manually with a 3.0 firmware...it will probably give you the error and it will ask you to restore. From there just click on the restore button. It should restore perfectly well. When the restore is done, now click on the update button...

Try to work it around...I am really sure that you can fix this

THANKS FOR U REPLAY

Usually I use Itunes 8.2 for updating Iphone have no problem for many times.
But now I have a problem. The Itunes is stuck in "restoring iphone software..."
And the Iphone stuck in the apple logo. I already downgrade to 2.2 and 2.2.1 but not help. Always stuck in ""restoring iphone software...". But when I disconnect the cable Itune said "IPhone could not be restored. An unknown error (9). Any solution can help this prob?

100% okey orginal usb kaple Change the USB port. and put the usb cable directly in usb port.

Dear All,

Let me tell you my experience with this error.
I unlocked around five iphone 3g with the same routine explained.
But there was one iphone gave me a really hard time


What I did ...
a . I tried that phone on various computers.
b. I used original computer.
c. Install / Re-install the latest itune from apple web site.
d. Simply restored the firmware.
e. Turned off all the firewall and any other blocking softwares.


But the OUTCOME was -ive.


Now can any one explained me.
What is the problem why I'm getting this stupid error.
I did checked the apple troubleshoting section and followed every
thing.

Quick and sensible replies are appreciated.


Regards,
K

I did the same way like you do.
- Use another computer
- Download ITunes from the MAlikk gave:
"Just Download From Here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
And Restore Iphone Without Any Error"
- Download OS3 from ITunes.
- Upgrade & downgrade fimware & iTunes.

But nothing helps.
Before upgrade the IPhone is working well.
Is it still bugs from itunes or OS3?

Anybody have another solution?

i got error 14 and i found out that the ipsw file was somehow currupt. I found out bcos i used redsn0w could not verify it ok.
So I redownloaded another and redsn0w verified it ok, and then iTunes also flashed (restored ok with this new file and all was OK
