so I had a jailbroken 2.2.1 with 2.2.1 baseband on my 3G alongside openiboot, and, as I was very excited by the release of redsnow, I forgot to get rid of openiboot before updateing, and so, I shit-restored to a clean 3.0 in order to pwn it afterwards, but, little did I know that I will end up in a neverending loops of itunes error 6 no matter what I try, and, furthermore, the iphone failed update log says

executing /usr/sbin/nvram
entering update_NOR
entering img3_update_NOR
unable to convert message to property list
unable to get NOR data from host

==== end of device restore output ====
2009-06-21 10:09:21.256 iTunes.exe[3852:cd0]: <Restore Device 07699CE0>: Restore failed (result = 6)
2009-06-21 10:09:24.444 iTunes.exe[3852:424]: iTunes: Restore error 6

so there is definetly something wrong with my NOR now, since it had openiboot on it, and, I remember even trying to install logome in order to get rid of openiboot, but I never was able to get rid of it so I just left it there thinking that a restore would do the trick............

PLEASE HELP GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PROBLEM SOLVED, I HAD TO SHUT DOWN ZONEALARM AND LET ITUNES DO ITS STUFF BY JUST HITTING RESTORE AND LETTING IT RESTORE AND UPDATE.

REPS UP IF THIS HELPED YOU.

ok im slow whats a zonealarm and why was it making itunes throw an error 6

its an antivirus............... who would have ever thought about it? about the fact that it was the culprit for my unable to get NOR data from host...)

i still dont get any email notification of replies............ can someone please fix this?

Must have spent 5 hours trying to update my iPhone. Finally went to bed. This morning saw log reading

entering install_kernel_cache
unable to convert message to property list
restored_receive_message: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData: Unexpected character B at line 1

unable to get kernelcache data from host

Found this post re Zonealarm, disabled it & hey presto it worked.
