iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable?

i updated to 3.1.3 a couple weeks ago cuz my jailbroken(blackrain) 3gs froze on me. don't ask.

i have shsh on file with the cydia server for 3.1.2.

this is the error i get trying to downgrade back to 3.1.2

i added "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" at the end of the host file and saved it.

what is the dealioooo??

Yeah, I read somewhere that they tell you to ignore the 10xx errors at the end of a 'unofficial' restore outside of Apple's servers.

Everything is working good?

well...according to modmyi:

"If you have already restored on stock Apple firmware 3.1.3 via iTunes this guide may leave your phone unable to connect to the network (the 3.1.3 baseband and 3.1.2 firmware may not work well together)."

that would be me.

i was able to downgrade back to 3.1.2 but itunes wouldn't activate my phone. i messed up and jailbroke it before activating and was left with a jailbroken iphone with no service. restoring to 3.1.3 again so i can use my phone. i'm patient and can wait for the next jb. i just hate restoring my phone. i've wasted 3 hours today doing this. ha!
