Ok, so I got my 3GS back from a friend of mine that had been using it a while, I know he had it jailbroken and unlocked. I wanted to erase all of his info so I went into settings and reset to factory settings and it gave me the USB to iTunes symbol plugged it in to restore got half way through.......and boom it shot me an error now Im stuck in infinite loop of bull.....

Here is what I've tried..

1. Resetting with Home+Power button at least a thousand times

2. Replacing the battery and dock connector

3.Deleting all my IPSW files and downloading new ones

4. Doing a Shift-Restore to a file manually

5. I attempted to use Tinyumbrella for fix recovery and exit recovery w/ no luck

6 Reinstall iTunes

I finally used Snowbreeze and put that beast in Pwned DFU mode praying that it would force it to restore, but I still get nothing.

I created a custom boot logo just to see if the iPhone is even getting information and the image will pop up on the phone before the restore fails and I get one of a million different error codes.

Any Thoughts?

Here are the errors Ive been getting

4,9,14,1410,1600, 1601, 1610, 3194, 2001.......most are not even on apples support page so IDK

What SHSH blobs do you have saved for this iPhone?
Also what iOS version are you working with? (and baseband)

Please publish restore logs - simply quoting error codes won't help much (however based on the codes ou have posted, my first guess is a USB problem - check and replace cable, dock connector, computer, USB drivers etc.)
