I am attempting to update my jailbroken iPhone 4S from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1.

If I click the Restore button, I get error 1604.

If I shift-click on the Restore button (then use iPhone4,1_5.1.1_9B206_Restore), I get error 1603.

I have:


  • Ensured I am running the latest version of iTunes
  • Restarted my PC (Windows 7 x64)
  • Tried to use a different USB port
  • Restarted the Apple Mobile Device service
  • Reset the iPhone sync history in iTunes
  • Booted into DFU mode before trying update
Also, sometimes I get error 21.

Any ideas?
 
Back up your device and close itunes

After that turn it in DFU mode
