Thanks everyone, I just updated to iOS 5 and all is well, but I can't use my unlocked GEVEY SIM because it is not compatible with iOS 5. Will a downgrade to 4.3.5 work?

I read that post, and what I am trying to do is downgrade. I had a 4.3.5 iPhone 4, then I unlocked and jailbroke it using a GEVEY SIM and redsn0w, then I wanted to upgrade to 5.0, but the restore that I did before trying to upgrade just put me in a recovery loop, so now I am trying to downgrade...
