Stuck in recovery loop, iOS 5.0.1
Hey all,
I was on iOS 5.0.1 before I started having problems. I had jailbroken the phone back when I was on 4.3.3, but have not jailbroken since. I restored at the release of 4.3.5 and been "stock" every since. I was doing some work on my phone and had some issues with a new LCD. I did a reset using home and power buttons, and when I was finally on a working LCD, I discovered that I was on the iTunes recovery screen. I've had this issue before but was able to get out of it using a combination of redsnow, tiny umbrella and a modified hosts file. I've been trying to use the same method, trying different combinations of things and different versions of iOS (from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1) with no luck. I keep getting restore errors (11, 21, 1643, etc). I'm at the point where I'm ready to sell the thing off and switch to (gasp) Android, I'm so feed up with this. Can someone PLEASE help?!
Thanks,
Bryan
Is this a good question?

are you on a mac or pc? have you tried 4.1? I think it's the only one apple is signing which is odd...

I'm on a Mac (OS X 10.7.2). Thanks for the link, too. Still getting errors, this time I'm getting the "This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I'm trying to restore with iOS 5.0.1 which is what I was running before the problem. Why the ^@#^ wouldn't this work?!

I've tried iOS 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.3.3, 4.3.5, 5.0, and 5.0.1. None of them work. Someone is trying to tell me to switch...
