Hold power+home count 10 sec release power continuing to hold home. I listen to my pc for the usb sound then u can let go.
Your screen will be black if you have the itunes picture or something else your not in DFU

Are you powering phone off before you start? You must start process with phone powered off

itunes will not say DFU mode it WILL say a phone in recovery mode.

gahhh im stupid..i didnt know that, its restoring now
EDIT: restored, now do i set it up as a new iphone or can i restore from a back up?
That depends on you. You'll hear opinions on both. Some say better as new as to make sure no corruption from backup carries over. Others say doesnt matter.
I would say if u have the patience to re set all your settings etc do new.

That i cant answer as i back mine up via icloud to my pc. So i just sync if from new

If you didn't turn on Photo Stream then no. My guess is your issue has been the sim reader and as i heard this version may address that so id backup see what happens. Worst you can restore again as new.

Could be a SIM card or network issues. Also, what version are you running of 5.0.1? 94A05 or 94A06? If you on the first, restore via iTunes to get on 5.0.1 version 94A06 as that OS was update to fix some network issues.
i dont remember if i did. i already have a new sim card so might as well try it from a backup
