error 6 and 16xx. Try the method out. Good luck

i think you will find you are putting your phone in recovery mode

put your phone into DFU mode

search utube to do this,

but when you restore you should have a black screen, not the screen with the connect to itunes cable

Sometimes (error 6) the problem is to get into DFU mode properly. Did you check this sticky thread: [winpwn 2.0.0.3] DFU success + DFU instruction ?. It might help you
