MY iPHONE 4
Its on 5.0.1 Redsn0w JB trying to get to 5.1.1 Standard Firmware so I can run GP. My iPhone doesn't seem to want to update to 5.1.1 however and i have done SOOOOO many different things. Tried normal update get errors. In Recovery mode, errors, use TinyUmbrella to kill recovery mode, put in DFU mode and try- errors. All the same when i try Restore instead of update. All the same when i try it with TinyUmbrella running a TSS Server (yes i backed up the SHSH blobs). All the same with a TSS server in recovery mode and DFU mode. No matter what i either get one of the following errors: 1601, 1602, 1603, 11, 21, and the generic error without a number.
Tried all the above options by SHIFT/restoring the iPhone with a version of 5.1.1 IPSW file on my desktop. Instead I get "the file is not compatable with my phone"
This is bull. I've tried everything.
MY BROS IPOD 2G MC (i know
)It was stuck on the disabled, connect to iTunes for awhile. Trying to Put it in recovery mode OR DFU mode just restarted it. Then it put itself into recovery after awhile for no apparent reason. It then recovered to 4.2.1, the latest firmware for ipod 2G's. Downgraded it with the SHIFT/restore to 4.1 and tried installing limera1n 4.1 on it and it seemed to finnish, however upon startup limera1n app was nowhere to be found. Went to restore to 4.2.1 to do a GP jailbreak but it gave me errors like the above. I gave up on it and moved to my iphone which is having slightley similar problems.
Both times i went to C:/WINDOWS/System32/APPLE COMPUTER and deleted the IPSW's and had iTunes re download them, redownloads fine. When it gets to "Preparing iPod for restore/Update" It takes forever then gives me any one of the # errors above.
Rep for amyone that can help me
I swear to god if you say something like "restart your computer, or try installing iTunes again" Im gonna beat your face in.

Did you try plugging it into another computer with itunes on it? Then restore on that computer, then go back to the computer that had problems and restore to your phones previous back-up to get your data back..

Have you tried downloading a fresh 5.0.1 update. Stitch your 5.0.1 SSH Blobs into it and then restore using that?
