I need Help ???????

I downloaded firmware 4 for my iphone 3g from itunes but it wont install on my iphone I only get this message “ The iphone “me’s iphone” cannot be restored at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable. “

And when I used a other pc it started to install but got stuck 4 min later on the apple logo and a indicator bare underneath the apple and had to recover to 3.1.3.

Hey,

Did you ever update your DNS HOST File to point to a different server? That could be a cause.

try it on an other pc. its most likely you changed DNS host to point to an other location

Can you shift+click restore and point to the downloaded stock .ipsw file?

I only get that when im not connected to the internet. Make sure you have itunes 9.2 or you cant update it either.

Are you sure you got the right firmware?

You Can Restore to FW 4.1 (still signed by Apple) and than use tinyumbrella to get it out recovery,
